Ray Bourque Wins the Cup

[willyz611]

@Jakomull That's Bourque's son I believe

[aggbala]

where was forsberg?

[nordis2001]

This was a great moment in hockey, especially growing up with Bourque and the Bruins, I wanted to see him get his name on the cup with the B's but just as long as he made it before he retired was good for me, Bourque deserved it. Sakic handing the cup over to Bourque to be first skate with it' was awesome! I don't think I will ever forget this game.

[BabbarKhalsaZindabad]

Top 3 defenceman with Paul Coffey and Bobby Orr

[taranchula97]

that's gotta be the best class act in the history of the nhl, from joe sakic.

[aspectra]

Second greatest French-Canadian to ever play on the Avalanche (besides Patrick Roy).

[gsh915]

Bourque has to be considered one of, if not the best defensman of all-time. Great moment for him, only way it could've been better is if it had come with Boston.

[Najolmirr]

@gsh915 I despise the bruins with a passion but I gotta agree. A cup with Boston would have been perfect. Best Dmen of all time.

[utankontrol]

goose bumps

[Ninja691]

That look on the little kids face made me tear upp

[hockyjocky4]

This video doesn't really show it, (as it's a Bourque tribute) but Sakic immediately handing RB the Cup was incredible. Captain Class.

[NessMencesal]

And after twenty-two years...

RAYMOND BOURQUE!

Greatest line ever

[Sputnikboy666]

Touching, Sakic's a class act and Bourque definitely deserved it. Fantastic moments!

[Bruinleader]

Watch this video and let it burn a hole in your heart. Let it fill you with hate and rage. May Jacobs rot in hell.

[WPGJetsFan4Life]

Brizky, I don't think the bruins traded him, he decided to come back for one more year and signed with the avs

[ThePopeDrums]

@WPGJetsFan4Life yeah the Bruins did trade him cuz he told them he wanted to be traded to a team competing for a Stanley Cup

[blizzl385]

sakic is definitely one of the classiest players ever to play in the nhl

[Dshacker1921]

hahaha ok buddy thanks for all that info. like anyone really cares..good effort tho hahahah

[Cran322]

as a bruins fan, it honestly brings tears to my eyes to see ray lift that cup. EVERY bruins fan gets emotional to see someone who is FOREVER our captain, raise that cup.

[hippie2525]

wow that is nice of sakic to give him the cup

[BlowHabsBlow91]

this moment made hockey fans of almost every team feel so good! especially avalanche and bruins fans haha

[Embermist]

'bout time Ray won a Cup by then it was getting nerve wrecking.

[GotGoodGoods]

I remember this game like it was yesterday, ata boy ray!

[NeilFraudstrong]

I will never ever ever EVER forget this moment. I was in tears when I saw this on TV just like Ray's son. Even today, it gives me that warm fuzzy feeling.

[randomguyh8y]

joe sakic will always be one of the greatest captains and one of the classiest of all time

[AStoryToScream]

The best thing about that celebration, was Joe Sakic showing class and respect for Bourque. I mean, to hand off the cup and allow Bourque to be the first one to hoist it, kiss it, and skate with it, just shows so much for Joe.

Joe Sakic, the greatest sportsman ever in the history of the NHL.

[stephen2767]

that was just a real class act right there. a bad day for hockey when he retires, hopefully he playes for team canada this coming year

[lictor313]

even red wings fan like joe... Sakic is simply the tom hanks of hockey.... unanimously adored...

[Gooster43]

The Tom Hanks of hockey, lol. That's a really great way of putting it.

[GalilGade]

Isn't Joe the most awesome sportsman in the whole world? I HATE to see him go. I hate it! He is going to announce his retirement tomorrow they say

[adamlake2007]

Sakic immediately handing the cup to Borque is just about the classiest thing I've ever seen in any professional sports. It's right above that time Gretzky handed the cup to the rookie who the year previous accidentally scored in his own net...

Sad to hear that Sakic's retiring too, but what a career he has had.

[NeilFraudstrong]

I love how Sakic kind of faked everybody out a little bit too. He acted like he was going to hoist the Cup and then turned right around and gave it to Ray instead.

What a classy guy.

[TUdaToken]

@AStoryToScream he's one of them but I think Yzerman just beats him by a little bit, to give the cup to the greatest coach of all time for his last game and let him skate it first, i'm a huge wings fan and i wanted colorado to win because of bourque but idk just yzerman handing it to bowman made me cry as a kid

[shermhugh]

Does he say "Fucking right!" at 0:23?

[knightbaron]

Haha it looks like he does.

[killingtime643]

bourque was a tank

[keithcobbett]

This was a classic moment in Sports History. Not only for Ray Bourque, who deserved the cup, but also with Joe Sakic immediately handing him the cup and telling him to skate with it. Ray deserved this moment. I watched this entire game live and it was unbelievable. The series was great and the best way to win. Now - it's the Bruins turn!

[vadimzdonutube]

Hell Yes, go B's, habs suck

[brizky1]

@keithcobbett i agree 100% but i dont like the fact that the bruins traded him to avs because they where the best team in the NHL and they knew that they had a good chance in winning. I think he totally deserves but kinda wish it was with the bruins. Just my opinion tho

[lorenzo9389]

I was so sad to see ray leave Boston EVERYONE here loves the guy but it was great of the bruins to let him go win the cup if any player deserved it it was ray Bourque, i saw him last week at his restaurant in boston

[stuski880]

waffleshow, your dumb

[TheWaffleShow]

*you're

[CPS1860]

did you actually watch that series?

[TheWaffleShow]

yeahh i did. Even without rose-colored glasses it was obvious. ask anyone whos watched it that wasn't an avs or Devs fan and they'll say the same.

[lorenzo9389]

im a bruins fan ur wrong! AVS won Bourque deserved it! even the NJ players were happy for him

[yohomy94]

r u fucking joking u motherfucker. ray deserved that so much and devils sucked fuckin cock. avs owned that game. fuck u sizzle dick faggot

[TheWaffleShow]

okay, aside from the fact that you're a fuckface (i can swear too), you do realize that it was a series of 7 games and not just 1 right? And by the way, that was one of the best Devils teams in history, and the Avs were just mediocre.

[Solbergislanky]

that just makes it all more embarrassing for your franchise then

[avsfan1977]

mediocre? they only lost 16 games that year. they were obviously contenders the whole way through

[slapshot254]

Dude, they won the Presidents Trophy that season. Mediocre is not what I would call that team. They were stacked.

[jfdhjgdh2010]

devils were not that good in 2001,

were taken to 6 games by Carolina (8th seed)

were taken to 7 games by Toronto (7th seed)

and were taken to 5 games by Pittsburgh (6th seed)

they almost blew a 3-0 series lead to the canes and gave the leafs a 3-2 series lead before winning games 6 and 7.

the Avs were too much for the devils too handle as seen by the Game 1 blow out score of 5-0 and Game 6 where the avs crushed them 4-0. sakic, tanguay and Roy were on a roll.

[dragomanrd2]

@jfdhjgdh2010 how can you say they weren't that good when they are in game 7 of the cup finals?

[jackavsfan]

Well they obviously did good, they pushed the Avs to 7 games after all. And they beat everybody else in their conference, so that's definitely not bad in my book. And remember at one py had a 3-2 series lead...I heard a story once that after game 5, Patrick Roy's wife overheard some of the Devils' wives saying, "Well, looks like we should get ready to celebrate another cup." As the story goes, she told Patrick this and he vowed that the Devils wouldn't score another goal in the series.

[jackavsfan]

Almost happened too, if it weren't for a 3rd period goal in game 7.

[TheCoyote99]

@jfdhjgdh2010 your a fucking idiot, you said the Devils werent that good in 2001? lower seeds always play better because they had to fight their way into the playoffs, and just because they took them to at least 5 games every round doesnt mean shit, if thats true why did the avs need 7 games to beat them fuck tard, and especially after the devils had a 3-2 series lead

[jfdhjgdh2010]

@TheCoyote99

devils needed 7 games to take down the leafs that year. leafs were 7th seed and almost coulda won that series if they didnt blow game 6. devils were sloppy for those three rounds and never looked as decisive compared to their 2000 cup run. it showed right away with the avs blowing out the devils in game 1 5-0. brodeur was shit that year.

[TheCoyote99]

@jfdhjgdh2010 im just saying that they were a few bounces away from being back to back champs, and did what they had to do to win, like all good teams do

[pigeonfingers]

This is my favorite moment in sports... I still get chills watching this

[sgrigy94]

i see his son in the background crying, is that by chance chris bourque? he is capital ahl affiliate hershey bear foward.

[GoPhils13]

One of the classiest individuals in sports

[niklas112]

Make that three, whole Helsinki loves Bourque. Actually, whole hockeyworld :D

[ricktalks2much]

There were two cities celebrating that night.

[avschase]

2 states

[avsgirl93]

I remember watching that and the parade after the best team ever aka the Avs won the stanley cup!

[cptjrkov]

His son now plays for the Capitals

Chris Bourque!

[fearthehawksndcavs24]

he does? as a caps fan, i'm surprised i didn't know that

[cptjrkov]

yeah but he's not too good sadly :(

[mistergumby]

give him time though, patience is the key with rookies ;)

[tphil2]

He had to leave BU because he was such a tool. Sucked at school and i guess his hockey skills weren't worth his laziness. It must suck being the son of a Legend. I feel bad for the kid. Did I mention that BU sucks?

[TBlightng]

great vid!

[2bmeis2bxtreme]

no actually the avs won the cup

[Royrules33]

yeah, the avs are the best
