i can watch this save 100 times and never get bored of it

I loved the save he made on Phil Esposito (circa 1974). Phil was almost in the crease and flipped the puck up using a wrist shot. Dryden gloved it. Esposito simply stood there and stared!

Hawks were ahead 2-0 in the second period. Bobby Hull blew a slapshot past Dryden but it hit the crossbar that would have made it 3-0. Just after that Lemaire fired a knuckleball from 90 feet out that fooled Tony Esposito. Habs tied it up and in the first two minutes of the 3rd Henri Richard went in alone and scored the go ahead goal. The last 18 minutes of that game the Hawks must have had 20 shots on Dryden and this was one of them. I was 12 years old at the game in the stadium with my dad in the nose bleed seats. I cried all the way home. 3 years later I attended Tony and Phils hockey camp in the soo. I had an opportunity to ask Tony O about that Lemaire shot. I said, 'Did you lose it in the crowd when it was above the boards"? "Did you lose it in the fog"? (there was fog at ice level). Tony looked me square in the eyes and said " No, I just blew it". Biggest lesson I learned at that hockey camp was to never make excuses and take full responsibility as a goalie.

As a Blackhawk fan this was one of the most depressing losses ever.

As a kid watching this save, I was absolutely shocked. I thought it was a goal until the puck bounced back after Dryden stuck his leg out.

Funny to see the guy celebrating while watching his shot go right into the pad!

I gone throughout your channel ...good good stuff! Please show more Sabres! ...even if it Habs doing well haha

As a Bruins fan, hated him. Was just so damn good.

Never happen again win the Conn Smythe and the next season win the Calder as Rookie of the Year!

Do you have the whole game Rangers v Habs Game 1 1996 playoffs?

I remember seeing this on my bedroom TV as a seven-year-old. i honestly couldn't believe that Pappin did not score.

Dime a dozen these days though.

The start of his dynasty.
