At this level of play, they wouldn't be likely to run out. These guys make millions, enough to hire their own stick-prepper, but they'll generally have a few sticks set up the way they like.
A player could I think, and they tend to set them up the way they like them, tape/curve etc from films I've seen, and probably wouldn't like to have to use someone elses.
I usually bring two sticks to my games. The night I only brought one it broke and then I had to play the rest of the game with someone else stick who is about 6 inches shorter than me lol
They had a savage rivalry for a stretch in the mid 90s —> early aughts. They despised each other, for good reason too. Some real greasy shit took place; Draper’s face got shattered from a dirty hit from behind. There’s a 30 for 30 on it
These teams were very intense rivals in the 90's. Both won championships and often had to play series against each other to get there. Even had a few goalie fights.
Red Wings vs Avalanche was one biggest Rivalries in the 90s. They were the two of the most dominant teams along with the Devils from 1995-2003. Whenever the Wings and Avs met in playoffs it was always a blood bath. Watch some clips on YouTube it was one of the great hockey rivalries.
They just be doing the most SpongeBob ass shit on the benches don’t they (I’m not a hockey fan and I want to get into hockey so please just laugh at my joke)
This stick incident actually happens before that hit thought. This was the 95-96 season as proven by Keith Primeau on the Wings (and the Avalanche existing), and both Claude and Draper were in the clip, indicating that it happened sometime before Claude's dirty hit.
I like hockey, but it’s definitely not sold on being “professional” lol. Hockey is the red headed step child of modern sports and that’s why it’s so dearly loved
Am I the only one who thinks the caption is slightly uninformed? The Avs - Wings rivalry was so violent that this pettiness is just par for the course. Like, this was as professional as both teams could be to each other at the time.
As a soccer fan, the bad part is on TV, you don't see it. When you're in the seats, you see it all. There's so much of that petty stuff happening all the time. The best soccer instigators know how to do their job without bad acting and crying like a baby (it's harder to pick up if you don't know the player or who the player is directing their actions towards).
You want to see great sportsmanship? Watch Vernon (‘97) and Osgood (‘98) each kicking the shit out of that pussy Roy. There’s nothing better than a good goalie fight.
One of the best rivalries in sports. The only teams I can think of that didn't even bother playing and just started a team on team brawl after the puck dropped, which included a goalie fight where Roy beat the ever loving shit out of Osgood.
Lol at the avs equipment manager with his hand out to the wings equipment manager like “wtf!?”His boys started it, but love how the wings kept it going, and escalated it.
I guess they want to show they arent punks or something, so they start acting out…its kinda like when there is a new kid in the school and he starts trying to he funny all the time for no reason trying to make friends

How old is this? Sakic hasn't played in over a decade.
95-96 season. I’m guessing because Keith Primeau was off the Wings, the next season.
The ref is also not wearing a helmet
it was the “Starter” logo that did it for me
i think don cherry got cancelled a few years ago. is he still around?
Why don't you treat yourself to a good time by searching
You can tell just by the video quality that it’s old as hell haha
Over a decade old....
The Redwings/Avalanche rivalry of the 90s-00s was peak hockey when I was a kid
Who remembers March 26, 1997? What a glorious day it was
Pretty sure that's Don Cherry, so very old. Lol.
I was just wondering if Starter was still a thing. 95-96 explains it
He’s our GM now and absolutely killing it
So now I want to know if a team has run out of stocks because the other team stole our broke all of them lol
MMMMMMMM BUY HIGH
At this level of play, they wouldn't be likely to run out. These guys make millions, enough to hire their own stick-prepper, but they'll generally have a few sticks set up the way they like.
They have like 5 for each player. A couple break each game. They're all stacked up on the wall so the equipment manager can hand them out on the fly.
A player could I think, and they tend to set them up the way they like them, tape/curve etc from films I've seen, and probably wouldn't like to have to use someone elses.

Give your balls a tug
Fuck you Jonesy
Titfucker
whats all the pettiness about?
Half those players are instigators. It's literally their job to get under your skin.

Pettiness? Take a look at the Avs/Red Wings rivalry...one of the best ever in hockey!
These teams were very intense rivals in the 90's. Both won championships and often had to play series against each other to get there. Even had a few goalie fights.

It's hockey but in this era these two teams were major rivals. I think this is the season they played each other in the Stanley Cup finals.
Its a7 game playoff series between 2 bitter rivals. Do anything to throw off the other team
Lol chill out this is what hockey is all about
a giant rivalry between these teams in the 90s, they got into several fights and even an entire team fight.
Avalanche red wings was a big rivalry maybe still is idk, and hockey has players who are there to fuck you up physically and mentally
Explanation - Red Wings
There was a HUGE rivalry between the teams at that time. One point both goalies dropped gloves and met at center ice to duke it out.
Ahhh the Red Wings and Avs rivalry, classic. If you watch the ESPN documentary Unrivaled you’d understand.
One of the best rivalries
Facts
why couldn’t they just open the door and get it by hand??
Too many players on the ice that's a penalty.
They just be doing the most SpongeBob ass shit on the benches don’t they (I’m not a hockey fan and I want to get into hockey so please just laugh at my joke)
For anyone OotL on the Avalanche - Red Wings history, they had quite the rivalry 20-30 years ago.
This stick incident actually happens before that hit thought. This was the 95-96 season as proven by Keith Primeau on the Wings (and the Avalanche existing), and both Claude and Draper were in the clip, indicating that it happened sometime before Claude's dirty hit.
Only two goalie fights? Laughs in Ron Hextall
This is two separate games, both in the 1996 Western Conference finals.
Greatest sport and it's not close
Ummm no it’s not
This was an amazing series.
National martial art of Canada
This could be one of the best rivalries of all time. Wings avs 90s-00s was electric
I like hockey, but it’s definitely not sold on being “professional” lol. Hockey is the red headed step child of modern sports and that’s why it’s so dearly loved
It’s the only game that’s still just a game.
The soccer hooligans enjoy some quality shithousery, too. They don't get it on this level, though.
“Fuck you, Shoresy!”
"Let's go!"
This is fantastic 👏🏾
Reminds me of Nico and Lewis Hamilton bickering in the cool down rooms. 2014-2016
OP doesn't know about this rivalry
Am I the only one who thinks the caption is slightly uninformed? The Avs - Wings rivalry was so violent that this pettiness is just par for the course. Like, this was as professional as both teams could be to each other at the time.
Well it's jumbled English. I have no idea what they're even trying to say
It's still way more entertaining than the bs you see on a soccer field.

100%
Woman’s soccer is a lot more interesting

Legendary
Ahhh the bitter rivalry of the 90’s Avs and Redwings. It was so fucking great.
Good sportsmanship? What’s that?
Best rivalry ever
These were the best years of hockey!!! The rivalry these 2 teams had was epic!
This was one of the best rivalries in the last 50 years of hockey.
Wings Avs was the greatest rivalry in all of hockey for me
Half of these guys are like 17, what do you expect?
IMO this period was peak NHL for me.
Remember that game with 3 overtimes and Roy got ejected!? Holy shit!
If you know anything about this rivalry, this was a pretty mild exchange.
I hate the redwings anyway
This is why hockey is the greatest sport
You are obviously not a hockey fan if you’re seriously posting this. Antics between the Wings and Avs?! Heavens me!!!!
Avs/Red Wings used to be something else
why are there 3 teams?
Only 2 teams. Second clip is the same teams with different jerseys.
Lol you ain’t quick kid
Fuck the Avs
Fuck the Avs
lol Go fucking Wings!
Go Wings
I miss rock em sock em's . I think this was the 9th edition
That’s effin awesome. Too many men on the ice. Blaaaa haaaaa
That voice is beautiful
🐢 🐢 🐢
RED WINGS!! YAAAA
One of the best rivalries in sports. The only teams I can think of that didn't even bother playing and just started a team on team brawl after the puck dropped, which included a goalie fight where Roy beat the ever loving shit out of Osgood.
I might be misremembering but didn’t Osgood hold his own pretty good in that fight?
Fuck the redwings forever. And I’m not even an avalanche fan. But seriously what a bunch of asshats
Yeah, I guess people don't like it when a team dominates the league for 25ish years.
Give your balls a tug, titfucker
Lol now I want a hockey stick for some reason.
These two teams don't like eachother anyway!
Yea. It’s about right for hockey players. Best group of guys ever but we’re all about 10 years old when we play the game. 😊
Lol at the avs equipment manager with his hand out to the wings equipment manager like “wtf!?”His boys started it, but love how the wings kept it going, and escalated it.
Those were the days.
Watch the documentary on the hatred and rivalry between these two teams.
Naw that's what makes hockey good. They don't take it too seriously.
Shoresy vibes.
And then they punched each other in the face for a while then they laughed and had a beer.
Just start fighting that's the whole point
Kris Draper lost a whole rack of teeth for this shit...
Gamesmanship
Tbf most of them are pretty young.
Ngl when I first watched this, I couldn’t really piece together wtf was going on. That commentary really helped
😭😭😭 epic
This is gold. Welcome to hockey lol
Just some good fun before they bash each others head into glass
The was no attempt. This is the Colorado-Detroit rivalry of the late 1990's to early 2000's.
Give him the stick. DONT GIVE HIM THE STICK! Ooooooo…..
Typical that he'd act like a little bitch when the other team takes and breaks his stick, after he himself was acting like a child first.
That rivalry was so much fun to watch. The goalie brawl was epic!
Ahhhh, the good ol' days. As a native Coloradan and lifelong Avs fan, FUCK THE WINGS.
Rockem Sockem Hockey! I use to have this exact VHS so long ago. I miss Grapes on CBC.
Gotta love don cherry😂One of the best
This is like watching monkeys doing random shit.
This is some shit I'd expect to see from soccer not hockey. Wtf red wings?
When my dad was a kid he was a huge red wings fan. Around this Era is when he switched to bruins and never looked back lol.
LGRW
OP doesn’t know about this rivalry
I sure do! I was young but I will always remember Patrick Roy's hair moving majestically while he pounded on Vernon and also Lemieux's busted face.
Hockey is awesome.
Immature because they are mostly under 20. Ya, what else? Fights too stupid too? IT FUCKING HOCKEY YOU BITCHASS.
Detroit moment Though it's mainly because there was a lot of tension boiling over and a lot of fights
Just for clarity, these two teams hated each other. After the Claude lemiux cheap shot on Chris Draper, every time these teams played it was a war.
Real life episode of Letterkenny
Lol that was a heated rivalry back in the day
Shorsey from Letterkenny needs to get out there and fix those guys.
Some petty childish shit. Rofl.
Children smh with blades on their feet
Weird to see a clip of my old coach. Shout out coach Lapointe!
Yeah, Red Wings were being dicks, but it doesn't compare to Claude Lemiux slamming Chris Drapers face into the boards.....
Miss those days
Professional douche bags
That's some funny shit
Let’s just say the Red Wings weren’t known for being honorable or classy. I’d be miserable too if I had to work in Detroit.
Fucking Red Wings.
Not the brightest bulbs off the rink either.
Golden age of hockey.
Fuck the Avs! Fuck Roy! Fuck Claude Lemeiux!
Avs had the last laugh after winning the cup that year
Ahh yes the good ol’ rivalry
Hahaha
What a cool sport
good ol 90s pizza hut logo
This is at the height of the Wings/Avalanche rivalry and as a neutral party I can assure you the Avs deserved every beat down they got
I miss Don Cherry, ya hes an ignorant ass. Still like his commentary.
Bait em with a goalie sick,see what happens?
Lol
Yes sir, fuck Roy and fuck the Av’s
It’s Hockey, fer cryin out loud. There’s penalties to be had. So send in the Enforcer before things git ugly
I love this sport of Hooligans.
I guess they want to show they arent punks or something, so they start acting out…its kinda like when there is a new kid in the school and he starts trying to he funny all the time for no reason trying to make friends
Got to watch Shorey again now
