Thanks for this video. My uncle is playing for the Blues here.

Seth Martin! Wow! There is a name I haven't heard in a long while.

I wanted to see this game for years. Many Thanks ! Would you happen to have the North Stars vs Leafs or Seals vs Leafs from 1967-68.

Wow! This was not too long after the Blues acquired Berenson and Barc Plager from the Rangers. Red's goal was only the second he had scored with the Blues after the trade. Barc and Red are easily the best STL players. Had Bowman not made that trade, the Blues first season would have been a disaster. I'm glad Glenn Hall had the night off! The Blues looked like a minor league team playing the defending cup champs. The expansion project was a poorly executed mess.

Barclay Plager - who was usually paired with Noel Picard - recalled that when a game was out of hand (such as the game here), Picard would say: "We punish them now."

This was sure not a good night for the STL Blues but they sure gained momentum winning a couple of game 7s in the playoffs to be the best expansion team to go to the Finals versus Montreal. It was very strange how they put all the expansion teams together in the same division but I think it was a compromise among the original 6 teams. The Blues lost all 4 games to Montreal in the finals with 2 of the games going tp overtime because their goalie Glenn Hall was unbelievable. Blues coach Scotty Bowman brought in Montreal veterans Dickie Moore and Doug Harvey for help. I was a freshman in high school in STL their first year. I remember well my first two Blues games I attended were a win versus Detroit and a tie versus the Rangers, but I do not think they were in their first season. This is great seeing the old video. I also remember this Maple Leafs team well. I grew up a hockey fan of the STL Braves that were a AAA minor league team of the Chicago Black Hawks.

Blues had a damn good team, Barrinson was a tough SOB

would you happen to have Blues at Leafs from Dec. 26, 1969. It was the first game I ever went to.

Sounds like there are about 15 people in the Garden.

The Blues would slightly change these white (away) uniforms just before the playoffs in 68. They would keep that basic classic design until 1979...then go through a series of Uniform failures that kind of continue today other than their throw back dark jerseys...I wish they would return to the classic look full time.

Mike shaky Walton.

Youd have made money if you bet the Blues would win the Stanley Cup before the Leafs in 1967.

Could that broadcaster have been more boring? Goal! And nothing else. Guess instant replay wasn't yet in existence either. It makes this Blues fan so grateful that the legendary Dan Kelly came to town in their second year, alongside the impish Gus Kyle, who was just wonderful with his poor vocabulary but tremendous enthusiasm. Those two educated St. Louis about pro hockey. But it's still great to see the Blues in their first year of existence. They may not have been as good as Toronto and the other originals, but it wasn't their fault. After all, expansion teams are made up of the better team's leftovers.

It’s like watching mites in minor leagues lol. Was the skill and level of play that low back then?? Russian teams of 60s looked more like they knew how to play, e.g actually hold on to the puck and not lose it the moment you touch it, collect passes nicely etc..
