Good color video footage of the 1971 Black Hawks

Some discussion of the early-70s Hawks-Rangers playoff wars made me nostalgic, and a Google search turned up a treat for those of us of a certain age. All video clips I've previously seen from the Hull-Mikita era were small/dark/grainy, but these are much better quality:

(What a team that was -- should have won at least one Cup if not more.)

Great find Paul

Fun to see that Hull OT goal again, though it’s burned into my memory. I was home sick from school the day after that game and Channel 9 must’ve shown that replay 20 times. It’s still a beautiful thing.

Great stuff

I am sure I watched #600 as my brother and I never missed a Hawks game on Channel 9. We loved it when Ray Rayner would show the home highlights in the morning and we could see the Hawks in their home whites!

There is also a link for the Golden Jet’s 51st goal. Funny when the announcer said that we were watching hockey history and that we would probably never see this again lol That was obviously before Phil Espo and of course, the Great One.

Not an Old Time Hawks fan by any means

but that’s his younger brother, Dennis.

Yep

A fine player in his own right — five times in the All-Star Game, a member of the 1972 Team Canada team, would have gotten the 1973 Conn Smythe if the Hawks had won that Finals — who was not treated well by Hawks fans.

One of my most vivid childhood memories is seeing Dennis Hull destroy an entire panel of plexiglass with a slapshot at the old Stadium. I mean he atomized the thing, it exploded into a gazillion little pieces; they took some fans away for medical attention. Doug Favell was in net for the Flyers and I remember him standing there in the crease for a while watching the crew clean up the mess; always wondered what must have been going through his mind.
