You have to feel for Ron Harris while watching this as although it was a clean hit, he has to live with the fact that it tragically caused the death of another person (forget the lack of helmet)
to all those about the helmets even though this should have done something to alert people still a huge amount of people refused to wear helmets. As a very wise person once said “for all the years of helmetless hockey, it is a miracle that this has only happened once”. excluding the guy who died when multiple people hit his head with their sticks.
@stlbluesfreak10 Love the game, respect the man.
4:13 that’s right, it was tragic but it probably saved a number of lives in the future by alerting players to the importance of head gear while playing.
No matter how hurt you are, you must still be able to come back or even, fight back from an injury you suffered in order to live, if you want to live, or even go back to playing sport.
You mean “unfortunate”.
Again. Fail^ You tubed ROB. Wow. Are you fucking high? You can’t even remember what you’re typing. Plus you’re still online 8 hours later. Loser…
@SmashBrosFan19 i’m not used to being perfect. but i’m also not used to online strangers demanding perfection from me i suppose. you don’t see anything wrong with your reaction to me mistakenly typing Rod instead of Ron?
No. Just the retards like you. You seem really offended. Are you used to being perfect at everything? See I can do it too, pretend that I know you. Now fuck off. Next time don’t be retarded.
@SmashBrosFan19 , you sound like a highly educated individual yourself. I’m so sorry for the one letter mistype of a man who’s name has barely been mentioned in centuries. Do you really spend your time looking up minor typos throughtout youtube video comment posts? and then use these small errors to pick apart people with intelligent name-calling like “dumb asshole”. everyones hard as nails when they’re hiding behind a screen name. get fucked buddy.
It’s RON HARRIS you dumb asshole!!
this story is just heartbreaking. you really gotta feel for those two guys who made the hit on masterton. its clear they weren’t trying to cause him harm, they were just playing the game. crazy do think they weren’t wearing helmets… almost as crazy as the goalies not wearing cages, but at that time i guess it was a testament to your strength and manlihood. RIP masterton, you will not be forgotten. and i pray that rob harris will be able to get past this, but i kind of doubt it.
no not for 11 more years until 1979 and even then players who came into the league before that could chose to wear one or not, craig mactavish was the last player to go without one, and he was as late as 1997!
all i got to say is R>I>P u are a great romodel
since then… the people in the NHL had to wear helmets
ohh,, so that’s why they use helmets now…
i didn’t know they weren’t wearing helmets in a hockey game b4
very very sad story , brings a tear to my eye evry time I see his face
there actually was footage of the play-grainy and about 10 seconds-but it was pulled from youtube a while ago
I don’t believe that there is a recording in existence, either. The pictures of him lying on the ice in this video are the only visual recordings of the incident that I know of.
I don’t think there was footage of it.
well bad.
great post. What a beautiful story!
Oh yeah right you expect us to believe that Bill was you’re fathers best friend
just a question ASSHOLE
“A unforchanate hit”…Dude!! I´m German and I know better english than you do…
