Ron Francis scores overtime winner against New York Rangers

[industrialsun]

There was something about John Vanbiesbrouk that was not championship caliber. He played great as an underdog (like with Rangers in 1986 and Florida in 1996) but underacheived when he played on a team that was favored. Lots of talent but something was missing.

[ralphyization]

@mightandglory He was brought up right, in my home town! He has done us proud!

[mrceebees14]

Those Pens uniforms were pretty sick, they should bring those things back.

[roadman364]

im happy to say i know him personally

[WHALEDOGS9111]

Penguins always beat the rangers in the playoffs.......

[mrceebees14]

Messier -1

[mrceebees14]

Penguins should've left those jerseys alone.

After so many years of ugly combinations, they finally got a jersey that looked good.

[avengemm9dog]

man the curse of 1940. That was a while ago...

[mrceebees14]

And it still is the most derasive chant ever in NHL history.

[mrceebees14]

Not so long ago that people have forgotten.

It is to date, one of the most derasive chants in the history of sports.

[scandium1223]

Francis is pretty much the classiest hockey player of all time both on and off the ice

[paullucci]

Wouldn't have won the Lady Byng so many times if he weren't!

[andrewcdouglas39]

RON FRANCIS #3 all time scorer! i think maybe #4

[SteveO1887]

now its gonna be the curse of 1994 when its like 2060

[CCampLI]

The Flyers, Pens, Isles, Oilers, Flames lol, all in the league for a fraction of the time the Rangers were and all won MULTIPLE cups.

The Rangers are cursed.

[mje1410]

Francis is a god. Great player, even better person.

[garfield1994]

One of the worst loses in Rangers history. Richter gave up a FLUKE 65 foot goal and the Penguins won the cup, and this series because of it. The Rangers were the best team in the league this year, and in 1994 when they won the cup.

[saturnine2272]

Pens won even after Graves broke Mario's hand. Clearly NOT the best team in the league.

[CGold026]

boooyaaaaa

[napoleon32]

And after Mullen blew his knee out, too.

[mattstajan]

nice goal

Wow, now the Islanders are referred to as "New York" when it helps a Ranger fan win an argument. The Islanders didn't "get revenge" on the Pens "for" the Rangers, the Islanders did it for themselves. The Islanders back then, before then and now still feel the same way about the Rangers and I will tell you what that feeling it.......FUCK THE RANGERS.

[WeTrustChrist]

Islanders last cup = 1983, so shut the fuck up about the Rangers CCampLI.

[IslandersFan25]

@WeTrustChrist Rangers = 90 years of complete failure and still counting. 

[Slipknot5301]

@IslandersFan25 didn't the islanders finish in last AGAIN last season?

good look not finishing in 30th bitch

[IslandersFan25]

@Slipknot5301 No they didn't finish in last...last season? WTF? Like, I hope you're not being serious with me right now, maybe in the DIVISION, but not 30th, and thats because their in arguably the best division in the NHL.

[BrettJRipley]

@Slipknot5301 lol no the oilers did i believe,



[Slipknot5301]

@BrettJRipley in the atlantic

[handtruck]

Jeez, Sam and JD are the two biggest homers in NHL history, and I'm not talking about excitement level, just honest announcing. Not one negative thing to say about Messier's turnover, and just a "there was a deflection.." That deflection was brilliant!

[SteveO1887]

tru, and every save a rangers goalie makes is robbery too if u ever noticed

[francisfan10]

Definately the most underated hockey player ever!

[hockeyguy38]

Probably the most underated player in hockey.

[CCampLI]

1940 was the most derasive chant in the NHL. I remember really pissing off Ranger fans with that chant lol. They could stand it.

[tourmentingpower]

I was at this game. Place was exploding w/ excitement. Pens showed a lot of character to win series without lemeiux who suffered a broken hand courtesy of Graves slash.

[garfield1994]

I remember this. Rangers should have won in 92. Best NHL record, but this game phucked the Rangers. Up 4-2 Richter let in a blue line slapper, and that turned the series around.

[grimetime55]

i think its safe to say that new york (the islanders) thrusted revenge on pittsburgh for you a year later. i swear regular season success is a prelude to playoff heartbreak

[B2B76]

I guess u are not aware that the Rangers and Isles are arch rivals. I would never root for them in a million years, believe me in 93 I was not thinking about the Isles getting revenge for us, I was rooting 100% for the Pens.
