Edmonton's Emergence | How The Great One Turned The Oilers Into A DYNASTY
Спорт
Once upon a time, the Oilers were the NHL's model franchise. In fact, almost 40 years ago, humble, unassuming Edmonton was home to one of the most dominant dynasties in hockey history - one that took flight by vanquishing another in the unforgettable 1984 Stanley Cup Finals.

Yep! So Connor McDavid would be the Wayne Gretzky of our generation, especially if he ends the 34 year long Stanley Cup drought. ❤🇨🇦🏒🏆
It's a great little video, but a few minor corrections: -- Gretzky wasn't 1st in WHA scoring in 1978-79 -- he was third. -- "Moog" rhymes with "rogue". -- "Sutter" brothers, not "Suter". -- In the first round in 1984, the Oilers beat Winnipeg 3 games to 0, not 4 to 0 (it was a best of five then).

I honestly thought I'd been hearing "Moog" and "Sutter" wrong all those years. In this case it is indeed the kids who are wrong.

Moog - M-Oh-G
Great video. For future reference, tho, it's pronounced "Moh-g", like the dude who invented the Moog synthesizer that was also dominant in the '80s.
I remember as a kid following him and collecting hockey cards. Great times.
yo these vids are kinda fire NGL🔥🔥🔥
Apparently before the Kings "Clarified" it, everyone thought the 'Nucks were interested. I've hated Pocklington for 30 + years
Love these videos! 🔥
More hockey please 🫡
I agree. The panthers gave no shot due to the astounding special teams.
Did Moog dirty with that pronunciation.
Good video but maybe ask someone who knows hockey to help you with the pronunciation of certain names (Moog and Sutter).

Exactly what I was going to say. It's clear he's never watched a single video and heard their names.
Aha that opening line was tough but true 😂😔
what i love about it, is the second best team in the league for five consecutive yesrs - thr Philadelphia Flyerd were left completely unnoticed snd unremember in all of history... if it weren't for first the Islanders THEN the Oilers then the Flyerd would have had a dynasty

Jaylen Brown story behind your next video theScore 🙏🙏🙏
Hockey more video please
Gretzky was almost a Winnipeg Jet.
This guy did a good job on the details and on the overall story, but his pronunciations of player names are killing me 😂.
Moog?? Clearly doesn't know much about Andy M(oh)
Gretzky was great no doubt. Seems people forget that Wayne played with 7 other Hall of Fame players. Not sure how many goals he would of had without Kurri.

Kuri, messier, Fuhr, Coffey, Andersen, Lowe. That’s 5 skaters and a goalie. 2 D. No forwards drafted higher than the 3rd round and only Kurri played on his line (literally every team in the NHL passed on Kurri, messier and Anderson multiple times). Mario had Kevin Stevens, Murphy, barasso, trottier, jagr, Mullen, Francis, Coffey, recchi. 8 hall of famers and an all star on one roster. Mario had more help and nobody faults him for his teammates.

You mean like the Islanders who swept The Oilers the year before, won 4 consecutive cups, and 19 consecutive playoff series. Remind me when the Oilers did that. If you want to say they were the best, that's fine. An argument can be made. To say no one is even close is ridiculous
Mewg?
Happy 40th Anniversary Stanley Cup win Oilers fans.❤🇨🇦🏒🏆

Just goes to show how Edmonton was good as they even won the cup without 99. I can't imagine what would Mario would have done if that same route would've happened to him. Without the Cancer and the back pains. But again we can only imagine.

Keep in mind that Gretzky had more than double the points of any other Oiler in 1981 and also 1982. In 1982, Gretzky outscored 2nd place Anderson by a ridiculous 107 points and 3rd place Coffey by a mind boggling 123 points. His 120 assists alone were enough to destroy everyone’s point total. Yet he still scored an insane 92 goals on top of that almost as an afterthought. His 92 goals alone were enough to beat everyone in points besides Anderson. Craziness.

Yikes... the Andy Moog pronunciation... and on The Score no less!
Too early to bring the 80s dynasty comparison to the current team, wait til they win the next series,. Lol
Man how many times are we going to keep hearing about the 80s Oilers.....Enough already it was over 40 years ago 😊

Then don't click on a video about the 80s dork. It's not tv
Dude can't even pronounce Moog's name correctly.
And... the 83 Isles cup winning team was NOT on the steam of the "Suter" brothers "in particular"... both were pretty good in those playoffs, but what about Bossy, Trottier, Potvin, etc... not to mention, Bob Bourne was their leading scorer with 28 pts in those playoffs. Nothing personal, but you need to be a bit more prepared for these videos man. REAL hockey fans are watching and shaking their heads.
this guy needs some serious lessons on how to pronounce names
Learn how to pronounce players names ffs
