Personally, when I see this, I see an accident. He took the shot, he was watching where the puck went, and his stick on the recoil hit the player's skate--instinctively/reactively, he moved his stick to avoid tripping the player, and it unfortunately caught him right in the face. That's how I read the play. I don't see any intent to 'stop the player from getting to the puck.' But hey, maybe I'm wrong. Playoff hockey is pretty cutthroat.

So when Burns went from his area, he literally walked the aisle where people were going to their seats, and literally could have got in the Kings' coach's face had he not been held back.

Not hard to miss that call. Kerry is across the rink, Gilmore has his back to him. Nobody saw it. It's only on a slo-mo replay that you realize it was Gretzky's stick and not the puck that hit Gilmore in the face. It's hard for new hockey fans to understand how the game was played before instant replay, coach's challenges, four refs, and NHL head office monitoring every play. Also, penalties were not handed out like participation ribbons in the playoffs like they are today. The NHL is softer than a marshmallow today and the product on the ice reflects it.

While I hated Gretzky while he was playing, I can't really argue with how the call went. The officials were human beings, and cannot see everything. I had basically stopped watching hockey by then, so this was actually the first time I've seen the play. I can now watch these things with an impartial view.

This was so well done.

That's some manipulative shit that Gretzky did there lol. Because he didn't argue anything in that situation, the referee probably thought that his time, he really didn't do anything worth a penalty.

Maybe Wayne Gretzky is born to parents that live in Hamilton, Mississippi and he never laces up a pair of skates. He takes a job at a company named Tronox and he is set to retire after 45 years as an employee next April. He'll probably get a $250 Walmart gift card and a little party during the swing shift lunch time with some cake. Then he plans to finish the shed he started building 2 years ago, he's got the concrete mix for the floor already so there's no excuses. His wife died 13 years ago from liver disease, she was an alcoholic. He's got a dog named Gordie. In this scenario Kerry Fraser does not alter history but the Maple Leafs lose in Game 7 to the Habs 8-2 and the next season they win only 14 games.

In a game loaded with missed calls, you can't blame one missed/blown call for changing the game. I mean I'd have given Gilmour 2 minutes for diving

Not as long as Bettman is around

Are we not gonna talk about that wipe out during the celly?💀💀 3:26

The video should be called "When a fan base obsesses about one blown call for over thirty years and hence, plays victim for eternity because of said blown call." They didn't lose the series because of the blown call either, there was a whole other game to play. A real champion overcomes adversity. Wipe your tears and get over it. It's literally been decades. Also, it didn't matter. The Leafs were not beating Roy.

if you look at it closely. its Gilmour's falling to the ice and laying there stretched out for a second or two is what gave the appearance of a faked hurt dive. I believe this was in Fraser's & the 2 linemen's minds initially in that moment which led to the no call

Thanks Bettman, nice fix job

I was 10 years old. And i still remember kerry Fraiser's name and the missed call. Wendel clark deserves a shot at the cuo and what a final.that would have been for Hockey night in Canada. It's the Leafs vs the Canadiens!!! Great video man !!

This was the first season of NHL hockey I ever watched, and made a lifelong fan of (unfortunately) the Leafs and Gilmour

Your storytelling is awesome ! Go Leafs Go!!!

Thanks a lot Kerry.

Only an all time Leafs fan would say that, "all time blown call in NHL history", no way, absolutely not

I was at that game of red wings vs leafs in overtime. I was 9 years old. I cried after lol

When he said the Cowboys won the Super Bowl, you know its very old.

All the great ones, across all sports, know how to bend the rules in their favor. It's part of what makes them so great.

Had a nice view of the action; was sitting two sections over from the press box at the Forum. NHL rules then would have allowed Fraser to give Gretzky a double-minor for causing an injury by a high-stick deemed "accidental." Gretz would have only got a major (and automatic game misconduct) if the injury from the high stick was the result of him being deemed "careless." Leafs were fortunate Anderson didn't get a major for checking Blake from behind and into the boards. That would have been an automatic game misconduct. In Fraser's discretion, a minor was given. Also, consider this: Gretz only played 45 games (the first on January 6th), the result of a career-threatening herniated disk injury. With an extra 12 points (11 to tie Leafs at 99), the Kings would have had home ice in the Conference Finals. Those 39 Kings games Wayne missed included 5 ties, 3 one-goal losses and 2 two-goals losses when they gave up an empty net goal. He averaged 1.4 points a game that season. Oh, one more thing: Go Habs Go! 😉
