Trying to keep the spirit of "old time hockey" alive through this channel as well as my podcast. I interview former enforcers and fight fans from across the country to hear their stories and share memories of the "good old days"
His calm, relaxed and reasoned composure is...terrifying.
Oh he was and is a psychopath
@@TTWGD3get outta here
Guy sounds like one of those old “former-mob tell-all” interviews. This mans the real thing. OG in his sport
thought the very same
He looks to be like one of those old school east coast irish american type friends that comes out of nowhere and fights dudes at the bar and stops you from getting jumped haha
@Genie Reveles shut the fuck up
@Eugenio Witaszek shut up feds
Had the same thought.
Dude was a elite goon. He knew his role. He was great at it.
Don't call the guy a goon man. He was a trained enforcer, he was dedicated and he was a NHL veteran.
@@Martalk when I call him a goon. Its not a insult. He was a elite goon.
Amongst the all time toughest. I’ll always remember him and proberts legendary tilt
The word goon is an absolute insult… don’t use it!
Nah I would say more of a goon, what loser slashes someone in the head. Never had respect for him
“It’s ok for him” epic line...
Totally epic line. And the way he says it with such seriousness. Love it.
He kinda had a mob hitman mind. Some guys get shot in the head because they're respected but still had to go so it's done clean and painless. Other guys like the "it's ok for him" guy, not so clean and painless. I wonder who that was...
If you fought back against, and resisted the mob when they came for you, they wouldn't be able to torture you, no matter how lowly thought of, you were.
At the 93’ trading camp in Big Bear, I played basket ball with Marty and Wayne Gretzky. The whole time Wayne kept saying,” Marty, the little shit’s a goalie! The little shit’s a goalie Marty!” The next day Marty brought me, my wife and daughter into the scrimmage, bought us food and sat us by the bench. He’s an intelligent, class act.
Marty is one of the ten dirtiest players I have ever seen. Thing is, he had good skill. Vancouver needed someone like him in 2011
@@hippy1002 he did have good skill. But he was dirty.
It’s very apparent he’s an intelligent person. He was active in the Players Union too.
He’s old school and from a different generation of hockey. He was dirty and willing to do whatever it took to win and create space for his teammates. He kept the opposing players honest and to think twice before thinking they were tough themselves.
The McSorley-Probert war back in '93 was incredible. Marty was right - he really could take a punch... and he did his job well.
Marty was a good Pittsburgh Penguin. He sat next to me when he was hurt. Got me a pretzel and a beer. A nice guy to talk to..
Great enforcer. His 2 minute fight with Probie never gets old.
I'd say that was a draw. I let him up and as you saw we pounded away and I eventually run out of gas and got hurt at the end and said that enough Marty you tough SOB
I liked his fights with Brashear better. Marty couldn't beat him
It's one of my favorite tilts
@@hippy1002he was well past his prime by then
Never mess with the soft spoken guy. He is hiding something and u dont want to find out what it is.
An assault conviction on Donald Brashear.
@@sjc4 😂😂
5:08 best story ever.. " is ok for him " F@#$ing glorious.. Cheers man..
I met Marty can a hockey equipment supply company ..i believe his brother owned it and he did a card signing show that Saturday so i thought i should go meet him ..i got there with my nephew and we were the only ones there and we were there for an hour and no one showed ..we talk to him for that hour ..he was a real nice guy ..class act ..took many pics woth him ..no charge ..great guy
Nothing but respect for this guy
I met Marty at a charity tournament in either 08 or 09 and got to stand around and chat with him for about 20 minutes. Unbelievable nice guy!!
Couple punches behind Probie, absolut beast and he never stopped fighting until linesmen got in. Scary strong, both physically and mentally.
He got the best of probert several times
Amazing endurance
Cocaine helped both of them. However, McSorley would never admit that fact. Bob Probert wiped his ass and then used the paper to wipe McSorley's face with it. Marty the Douche Bag. Cut and dried.
Have to admit I hated McSorley when he was playing against the Leafs but seeing him talk here...how thoughtful he was and how much he lived up to his role as an enforcer...how can you not respect this man???
How can you not respect this man?? Seriously? Well, I for one don't have any respect for a piece of shit who was found criminally guilty of assault with a dangerous weapon. What a pathetic asshole.
easily
Love watching Marty play. A true warrior on the ice and a throwback.
This man has passion! What ever you may think of him if everyone had passion for life like this guy we would be awesome.
The McSorly vs Probert fight in Detroit is one of my favourite fights of all time !
McSorly lost his balance and Probert pulled him back up to continue the fight a all time classic.
I agree
Standing ovation for both in that fight
@@joesmerksky5919 list his balance .lol you mean buckled his knees with a wicked punch.but i gotta give credit when due he was right back in that fight the second his legs strengthend
Probi was an animal
"Your gonna have a funny feeling in your stomach, but it's not fear, it cant be fear" That last minute, from 8:08, really tugged my heart strings. Reminded me of past battles, that aren't even related to sports or hockey. That's how I feel we should all take on our battles, whatever that may be.
One of the toughest dudes ever. True warrior on the ice. Turned out to be a real good player as well.
Warrior is the perfect word...Card carrying badass for a long time no matter where he played.
@KoivuTheHab No, Players don't attempt to kill players with their stick. He caused seizures and a grade 3 concussion. His intention was 100% to kill him.
Marty regrets most of it.
Philly native/Flyers fan: Marty is a beast, a machine. One of the best in the history of the game and there will never be another like him. This interview explains a lot, lol.
I remember the Doug Evans incident that Marty refers to here. Evans' entire forgettable NHL career consisted solely of running at, elbowing and sticking skilled opposing players, and then hiding behind the linesmen (or bigger teammates) and yapping after the whistle. I was fine with what Marty did, too.
Your a Warrior Marty!!! Im so glad i was able to grow up watching the best years in the NHL!!
Marty is my favourite player of all time. Not just an elite fighter but a pretty good player as well! 🍻🇨🇦
He was a good player. I think people forget this.
If Pittsburgh had a McSorley, Crosby wouldn't have had those concussions.
they did. just in a different era.
Crosby has had guys like Godard, Engelland and Reaves. He had protection...
@@ThaOneChrisJONES And Andre Roy and George Laraque
Undermine The Concubine they never played Andre Roy, he was a total bust in Pittsburgh
They had Laraque, Reaves ect
Marty was a true warrior!!!
So true Sandy...and he did it for a long time...anytime..anywhere..anyplace,,,a card carrying badass!
This guy rules. I love people who play with his intensity.
Squre --- He didn't really want to play hockey... Sounds like he would have rather have been a boxer...
so you love players who try to decapitate people with the stick
He only committed the dirtiest hockey play in the history of the nhl
Marty was chiseled and feared. But he was also respected. He never bashed the brains in of someone who didn't have it coming. I respect that.
I saw him , high stick Donald Brasher; they took him off the ice stretcher, l think he was suspended some games for it .
Yeah, that was a cheap shot on Brashear and he crossed the line there. No matter what message he wanted to send, you don't put a person's quality of life at risk for it.
@@coreydean6540 Agreed. Super cheap shot.
Marty McSoeley.. definition of a true badass!!
I love the shout out to Semenko 🔥
Thanks for the insight
Best interview I’ve ever seen.
Amazing interview!
Beyond the unfortunate incident with brashear, Marty was a phenomenal enforcer and an incredible teammate would give an arm and leg for the team. Always respected that
Dylzy Itzkowitz I agree. It's too bad the Brashear incident is what many people remember him for because he was a solid teammate.
Yeah, that incident was very unfortunate and marred his imagine in the eyes of a lot of 'casual' fans and/or people that don't follow our great sport. Casual fans/non-fans simply saw it as one player hitting another player over the head with his stick. It is funny how you don't hear people running Bobby Clarke's vicious slash on Kharlamov from 1972 and what kind of series changer that was. If anything Clarke was/is considered a hero for what he did, as he took one for the team. Or in that case, he took one for our country. Yet McSorley is viewed as a criminal by the casual fans, still to this day.
@Mark Richardson Brashear was a jackass himself, he wasn't no saint
@@chevyxrz McSorley couldn't deal with being washed up which is how Brashear made him feel.
That Loser gave nothing but trouble
Love how McSorley talks about how it was his duty to protect his guys and take the hits and suspension for it. Stand up brave man, right on.
Brave man. Ok. Sucker punched people. Let us not forget the slash on Brashear. He went after a cameraman. A piece of garbage
@@johnstitt2615come off it you douche.
@@johnstitt2615 Sounds like you really KNOW the game...likely never played real ice hockey or been to an NHL game. 🇨🇦
I'm not sure anyone needs to "KNOW the game" to see that whacking someone upside the head (and potentially killing him on the ice) is a "piece of garbage" thing to do. So...McSorely IS a piece of garbage. Nothing @johnstitt2615 said was incorrect. @@loilt5091
He was a great fighter.He deserves some respect
great fighter ,solid player and performed the Enforcer role to a T ...and within the game he has respect
he imposed his will on his enemies
After the cheapshot.... Nah NO more. Fucking bastard
Great interview.
Intense man ...his eyes 👀 don't lie ...intense is great 👍
Awesome!!! This guy would jump into rush hour traffic for his teammates. Marty is an unsung hero that everyone wants around him, on and off the Ice...
We met him a few years back at his brothers sports store in oakville Ontario and he is such a nice guy would answer any questions and listened to you ..
I love that Marty talks about how much big Dave helped him. I met Dave Semenko in a bar of all places on the east end of Edmonton during their cup years in the 80's. He was an awesome guy and really funny! RIP big guy! Love ya
As a native Calgarian and Flames fan..I always hated Marty. But as time goes by and watching interviews like this. Marty was a true team player, and a warrior! And on top of that...was a real solid top 4 D-man.
He literally tried to kill a man on the ice, he’s a giant douche
I'm from Philadelphia and I love this guy. Period.
"Nah... it's ok for him" LOL
The good old days of hockey.
I wonder what his cardio was in the off-season to be able to outlast everyone.
Marty, great looks, great flow and tough as nails! A beauty!
Attaboy Mcsorley!! We love ya!
A TRUE WARRIOR
He did his job well , I can listen to him all day.
A classy, humble player right up with Guy, Gordie, Thank You, Marty, for some great games am old school if he happens to see an old oiler jersey with his number on it, it,'s me, your number should be right up there too. Good Luck.
Thanks for this! McSorley was one of my favorite player, a true warrior.
Mine too.
He was a fuckin cement head asshole.
John gatti that was Dave Semenko Moron
APieceOfBeef is a troll scumbag.
Stuggots......go fuck yourself puke.
One of my favorite all time players
It’s Alex Lifeson
I love when Marty said " it's ok for him" when his coach said you can't do that after he threw a guy into the bench this is a real man
When The Hansons respect you, you know you are good. Putting on the foil.
love him
Crosby needed a Marty McSorley.
Crosby needs to stop being a bitch ass punk slashing guys in the crotch and behind/on the side of the knee. Cindy is a little piece of shit.
tenningale ... Lmao you are seriously dumb. He has stopped idiot..because he’s only done that 3 times in his ENTIRE CAREER DUMVASS
He did, he had Godard and Reaves.
If Crosby had an enforcer he wouldn't have had 8 concussions. The enforcer is something hockey needs to protect the star players and help open the game up.
Tyler Durden, Yes I agree Crosby needs a good Marty McSorley right across his face.
What I really like about Marty is that he was never a cheap shot artist. He would hit your team's best player but that's just part of hockey. He was one tough enforcer who could also play the game. And you can tell from this interview he's a very intelligent guy...which is also another reason why he won all those fights and had such a great career.
Umm what about the brasher incident
@@raptors4life503 he explains it on youtube.
@@raptors4life503 I think he regrets that incident but I honestly don't think he was trying to hurt Brashear,,,just trying to get him to fight. No one should be defined by the worst thing they've ever done.
@@michaelorsini9695 he took a stick and aimed for his head, dirty coward style. Interesting you were forced to acknowledge the incident. It says something about you.
I always admired how he wore the flimsy Jofa plastic bin, and shoulder caps...Old school as they come.
Different Era. Man's Game.
Pardon the massive bump (LOL) but it's no longer a Man's Game, today?
This man was my hero! There is no one since who has had this frame of mind or ability to be the real man he was on the Kings!!! This is a real man!!
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!
Was he as valuable as Matt Cooke?
I had the pleasure of meeting Marty a few years ago. A true class gentleman. One of my favorite players of all, not. Because of his ability but because of how respectful and kind he is.
It was very gentlemanly when he slashed Brashear's face
@@HyphyJuice916 shit happens ppl fuck up always have always will
After the cheapshot he lost all my respect. Forever. Disgusting bastard
This guy and bertuzzi make Matt Cooke look like a saint
he would have killed cooke with one arm tied up.
HE was the man!
how important are enforcers? the only reason gretzky went to the kings is because they agreed to bring marty with. The great one knew he needed protection.
I absolutely love his game. The only thing I've had a real problem with was the Brashear incident.
At the time Brasher was on the ascendancy while his career was slowing down. Wee bit of envy.
@@johnsynnott1981 Even then, McSorley'd beat him with one hand...do some homework. He was mostly a grappler, would throw a few and hold on, for the officials to rescue him. I had a season ticket in Edmonton during their Dynasty & later lived in Raincouver, when Brash was here.
@@loilt5091McFlurry is a gutless coward for doing what he did to brashear. A real tough guy wouldn’t do that…
@@devontoombs4141 Sure, junior…sounds like you really got a handle on the game.
@@loilt5091 it’s not a crazy concept. If he could’ve beaten him in a fight he should’ve dropped gloves but no, he decided to slash the mans head from behind. That’s cowardly no matter how you look at it. He’s a solid player but that one act nearly killed a man whose career was starting to flourish.
I love Marty and his style of play, at times in this interview Marty sounds like serial killer and I love it.
Всегда интересно было смотреть Максорли! Какие же были замечательные хоккеисты раньше!
you are a class act marty and you did beat probert. GOD BLESS YESTERDAY'S HEROS
Lol. He clutched Probies jersey every time they fought because he was scared of Probie. Probie knocked him out in 94. Probert is the king.
Remember when there were legends.
6:40 so calm like a serial killer lol great dude
Marty, with subtle truth bombs during the game.
Tough guy!
Marty McSorley. was always one of my favorite hockey fighters . Im 64 and never been to a pro hockey game but maybe some day ..
Man, go to a game! It’s much different to be there in person!
got a link for the full interview?
Mcsorely was one bad ass dude
Anyone who was the enforcer for Gretsky and Messier is someone I highly respect!
This may sound like a very oversimplified opinion of him, but it seems like Marty McSorley was simply a man of principle that expected players to conduct themselves in a certain fashion.
UNCLE MARTY!!!
Gretzky wouldn't be the goat with out the enforcers he had
nor all star greats he didnt win another cup outside edmonton
that's like saying Tom Brady wouldn't be the player he's become without his Tackles & Guards
AMEN!!!!
Gordie Howe did it all himself
that and if you even took a breath near him the refs would call a penalty on you. GRETZKY wasn't the greatest, BOBBY ORR was.
Warrior ..he was... tough SOB !!!
Марти, мы тебя любим!
I’ve talked to a bunch of guys who played in the show. Marty is the most approachable and polite guy out of all of them.
Ray Finkle absolutely true... such a nice guy
Joey Kocur has the same demeanor
And the one who will swing his stick at your head and try to kill you. Yea he sounds like a pretty good guy. He's trash. Being tough is one thing but to do what he did is disgusting. This loser should have gone to prison.
Kush Joint....Yes Sir.
justinred if you ever meet him, be sure to present that opinion they way you did here, tough guy. Be sure to come back and let us know what it’s like to get piss pounded by a guy in his 50’s.
Marty is top 5
Marty was my horse. I loved him as a King.
VERY HONEST
Mcsorley doing his famous Jeff Daniels doing a Robert De Niro impression in the the thumbnail again. Had to click on it.
That's when hockey was great! The whole damn interview shows what younger people then me never got to see. I was born at the right time. Fuck MMA or UFC, NHL back then was the best sport around. Before all this cable tv shit. I used a splitter and watched 3 tds at one time for the playoffs. 30 days of playoff hockey every night. Man I had a great life.
At least he admits to crossing the line, but it would have been nice to hear his thoughts on mugging Brashear.
When the Kings and Sharks played in Fresno in the early 90's, Marty sat up in the stands and signed autographs the entire game. He could have signed a few then gone down in the players area like everybody else, but he stayed up in the stands and signed for all these kids and other fans. The Brashear thing was unfortunate but it was not a true indication of the way Marty played. He was a good defenseman and was a key part of the Kings first Stanley Cup finals.
Well he could have easily killed Brashear with that cheapshot... The guy is s lunatic.
Key part bc he got busted with an illegal stick🤣🤣 of all players
@@daddylongleg9113 brashear was no saint either

Mcsorley was a beast him and probert were awesome made hockey exciting for sure .our superstar captains today need a mcsorley.
Use fuckin commas and periods
Two players I followed from the 80's were Marty McSorley and Ken Baumgartner. When they were together on the kings in 1988 I was like dam I like these guys
Baumer has an MBA from Harvard after retiring
A scary player willing to cross the line and did so😳 But okay he was a strong puncher.
4:50 if anyone knows what game is his talking about " fired the guy head first into the open door " I have got to know.. been looking for years...
Following. I asked the same question
From all I've seen the last few years He seems like a really good guy off the ice just like Probie was
Marty and Wayne are the reasons I became a kings fan
They BOTH made their reputations as Oilers, first, winning multiple Stanley Cups. 🇨🇦
He had a full tank for sure.
The Ducks can use a guy like Marty. Miss you Marty 🥰
5:26 is awesome just calm and whatever launching a guy headfirst into a steel open door lol McSorley rules
"It's okay for him."
