TOP 5 NHL games: Dallas vs. Edmonton

[PaletFire]

Dear Dallas Stars. We will see YOU this spring time.

[Tkach101]

5:04 might of been one of the greatest calls in Bob Cole's career

[Methrt3]

Tommy salo was a piece of shit goalie.

[ubery]

Well, as a Stars fan I quite enjoy the choice for number one. But I get y'all's point. Let's just hope for some more great series over the next decade, ok?

[aqinthe]

It wasn't the playoffs if the Stars and Oilers didn't play each other in the first round. I miss those days.

[Ironmaiden1776]

jeeez did Joseph ever stand on his head in that game in 97.

[vanguy82]

Stars fans and oilers fans are just going to have to agree to disagree on what should be #1.

[hbk9911]

the difference between 1997 and 1999 was curtis joseph

[Mark271792]

@hbk9911 What about 1998 when Joseph was with the Oilers? The Stars beat them in five games.

[nickdnc2003]

Bob Cole's call at the 2:00 mark is so typical - he's the voice of hockey for me - what a legend.

And Joseph stood on his head in what was an unbelievable series. I can still remember the intensity 13 years later and I'm not even an Oil fan.

[porksniffer]

LOL at this fuckup. How can #2 not be #1??

Bob Cole was in his element and Curtis Joseph, what can you say, it was simply a stunning performance especially in Game 7, 1997.

[rossmillsap]

How the hell are the two games that are #2 and #3 ranked lower than a game from a horribly officiated series (I'm not an OIlers or a Stars fan so it is not a bias opinion). #1 should have been #3 or elsewhere on the countdown.

[nbtube]

Yup. Game 7 in '97 clearly should have been number one. The game they did choose for number one was part of a 4-game sweep for the Stars. That '97 series was some of the best hockey I've ever seen. Nonsense that game 7 from that series is not number 1. Makes no sense...

[Ironmaiden1776]

@nbtube no doubt. I still remember watching that game when I was 9 years. I can still picture my dad jumping out of his seat and cheering when marchant scored that OT goal.

[goeland70]

@Ironmaiden1776 i was living on the east coast back then, went to bed thinking it was over.First thing i hear when the clock radio came on, " and in sports , oilers win in overtime details @ 8. Couldn't beleive i missed the best oiler game ever

[Flamesfan7]

LOL how in the hell is the 1997 game 7 not number 1?

[vega21]

THis was when Bob Cole was the greatest

[TayR0C]

@vega21 I agree.

Now He's just a senile retard that should be removed from HNIC

[vega21]

@TayR0C At 5:05 Coles "They have tied the game" gave me goosebumps

[monsterzfait]

Whow, you should really be more serious with your teams.. Thats awfull, It's Minnesota North Stars you tard..

[Jeff343536]

number 2 should have been number 1.

[douirotoaoiro]

^^^^

[theKpen]

Man I was in jr high in 1997 and I will NEVER forget what happened during that series. What a fierce rivalry, made for some of the best playoff hockey I have ever seen!

[nickdnc2003]

Bob Cole is legend

[cherewykk]

Gotta love Bob Cole's call of the goal at 5:02. Boy does he sound pumped!

[syme1984]

Cujo is a loser for leaving Edm. They tried to keep hime but he took the xtra money

[freshprince512]

1999 definitely mad up for 97, but im still mad at moog for giving up 3 goal lead. i still love my stars, especially the late 90s teams

[CdnGurl1987]

Seems like these players had so much more passion and heart. They were excited to win, and showed raw emotion. Something I think is missing from today's games.

[trevormc1434]

yeah the players sure do hate winning these days. what are you talking about?

[MattVox2342]

lol

[hav9k]

Curtis Joseph was such a great team.

[Harpz39]

LOL yeah really....he carried every team he ever played for with maybe the exception of Detroit I guess!

[V1Ru3X]

wow oilers where such a great team....

[Hobsnick]

I love the games we play with the oilers playoffs or during the season. when these teams play throw away the standings and record books with these teams... And i will love too see the Stars and Oilers in the playoffs again

[yeeps31]

how in the world do they show the '97 game 7 and not show Joseph's unbelievable stop??? O_o

[northey2008]

I would like to see another Edmonton, Dallas playoff series this year. The thing I dont want to see in this years playoffs is edmonton vs Anaheim. Screw the ducks. Screw Pronger. I hope he sucks this year along with giguere.

[andrewcdouglas39]

i would like to see you stop sucking dicks but that wont happen either

[Maxie1111]

How many overtime games were there in that 97series? If it's less than 5, then I'm suprised it didn't break the all time record for most in a single series. But that series was awsome, it was like all or nothing for both teams!

[northey2008]

Why is it that the Edmonton Oilers have been in some of the best highlights in recent memory? I think every one remembers the missed empty netter by one Patrick Stefan that result in a last tying goal by of course the edmonton oilers. Their 2006 stanley cup run is filled with a bunch of great highlights. Even though I am a Canadiens fan first and have been since I was four, The oilers will always have a special place in my heart. The flames are going to lose to Edmonton in the playoffs. Watch

[journeythruthepast]

There were 3 actually. And Edmonton won them all. Only one series ever had five- the 1951 cup finals (and it was a 5 game series!). The Oilers most OTs in one series was 1991 when they had a 6 game victory over the Kings. There were 4 in that one and Edmonton won three of them.

[Onibakudrift]

1 word Cujo!

[neyder99]

the rilvary was good when TOMMY SALO became goli #1 for the oils

[Canuck204]

This series was one of my favorites back in the 90's, along with the 94 final, 93 final and the Pens/Islanders 93 Patrick division final.

[underdog2346]

marchant....SCORES!!!!

One of the franchises most memorable goals.

[underdog2346]

this is a wierd and legendary rivalry.

I hate the stars and love the oilers

[lilfrnz]

dude, do a little reading, the Minnesota north stars renamed to the minnesota stars, and then moved to dallas a year later.

I found this odd; top 5 playoff games between the two probably - but there are 2 very memorable games from 06-07 between the two

[northey2008]

Ya... so you got one thing right. Big deal. Dallas.... Minnesota.... who cares Obviously they werent playing in Minnesota during the 5 year playoff rivalry from 1997-2002

[DallaDalla]

Best rivalry of all time

[ocrammas4]

Great memories, great rivalry!

Here's looking forward to the future.

GO OIL

[ktonproductions]

oilers suck stars beat them last night

[nelsland]
