Best Hockey Documentary I've Ever Seen
Legends of Hockey, chronicles the history of ice hockey, from it's beginnings, to the introduction of the Stanley Cup by Lord Stanley of Preston, to the formation of the NHL's predecessor's, the NHA, the NHL all the way up to about 1989.
In addition, the stories told by the hockey players, were wonderful. From "Red" Horner's accounts of the "Ace" Bailey/Eddie Shore incident, to "Rocket" Richard's tangles with "Terrible" Ted Lindsay, Gordie Howe's numerous stories growing up in Floral, Saskatchewan in a house with no plumbing and his career with the Detroit Red Wings, Milt Schmidt's story about how he, Bobby Bauer and Woody Dumart were dubbed "The Kraut Line", how Bernie "Boom Boom" got his nickname and how he became father of the slap shot to Lanny McDonald's career and finally winning the Stanley after trying for years and calling it a career shortly thereafter. We can all dream of being able to walk away on top like that. I could go on and on, and I can listen their stories for hours.
Being from Seattle, Washington, the home of the first US based city to win the Stanley Cup back in 1917, I've never heard much about it or the stories behind it, since it was over 80 years ago when it happened and everyone involved are dead. It was nice to hear the stories of how The Metropolitans beat the mighty 'Habs and when the Stanley Cup Finals came here in 1919 to play the same Canadiens, and how this became the only time the Stanley Cup was never awarded because of the Spanish Flu outbreak and caused the death of Montreal Canadien "Bad" Joe Hall. The descriptions of the latter sounded scary hearing how the people in Seattle were wearing gauze masks to protect themselves and seeing the pictures.
Unless something better comes along, this is the best hockey documentary I've ever seen.
