@citizen773 they're fucking awful. they've made the playoffs 3 times in they're 17 year history, which translates to 17.6%, worst percentage int he nhl. PATHETIC
1996...the year of the rat! Story goes that Brian Skrudland killed a rat in the Panthers Locker room on opening night, then scored 2 goals...after that Panthers fans threw rats on the ice and that lead to our magical season...yes the avelance was the better team, but despite that the Panthers still had a post stanley cup rally after the finals (which we got swetp in) that was sold out...what a great year despite falling short of the cup!
This was the first hockey game I watch when I was 9. Looking back what a classic! Kinda feel bad for the Flordia goalie. They were dominated the whole series and the one game he gives up only one goal his teammates can't help him by scoring, but then again you gotta give credit to Patrick Roy.
I stayed up until 3:30am in the morning NFLD time watching this game in 1996; my eyes were actually half-shut when Krupp scored in the 3rd OT to clinch the Cup for the Avs, so I was still barely awake & saw the goal...I'll never forget this game:-)
haha wow, I hope you didnt have to work the next day. The latest I stayed up was about 2am for that 5 OT anaheim dallas game a few years ago, but Im in alberta, so that would have been like 6 in the morning for you lol.
Nope, thank god;-) I was still in school that year, well, it was my graduation year; I had already finished my exams so I didn't have to go into school the next morning...so I was lucky to be able to stay up & watch this game, will never forget it either:-)
If u are areguing about fans I want to tell u that americans cannot be good fans. I have been several times in sport event and comparing to Europe you sucks. As does canadiens. That's the thruth.
Remember that 1 cup in the last 50 years, when you needed the refs to steal it from Vancouver in 94. Other than Messier (past his prime), Gretzky (well past his prime), and Esposito (even more past his prime), I don't recall that many of the "centuries best" wearing that uniform. The Nordiques/Avs have had more greats in the past 2 decades than NYR inlast 5. In that time span, we also have twice as many cups. Being a fan is great, but just because you like someone, doesn't make them great.
sorry i am a loyal NY native and WE stay loayl to our teams and you can NOT debate we have had the centuries best players thoughout the years, the best fans stick through thick and thin..
KNOW WHO HE IS?.. he's a frigging LEGEND...Nordiques, Sabres, (shitty Av's), Islanders, R. Wings, Thrashers, erman National COACH and hot.. I happened to despise the Av's, though I am stuck living here... Lifelong Ranger fan (SHUT UP). But Krupp is an ass kicker if he could stay uninjured. Thank you, some 'chicks' DO know their stuff. Played myself for many years and I am NO butch either.. THANKS
well u wrote " AND WHO WON THE GOAL?" whic to me at least sounded like you didnt know who he was, point is avs are gonna beat dallas (if calgary wins tonight)they beat them last time(but got swept by anaheim) and rangers are gonna lose
I remember this game as it was yesterday... I was a young boy, a foreign exchange student in Colorado, coming from the other side of the planet, and that year I fell in love with the Avs and they will forever remain my favorite team!...
man I remembr hating ol roy cause he beat my panthers and beezer.. oh course was I in for a shock 4yrs ago when my 9yr old came up to me with the beezer "nigger " article and asked me if he could stop playing goalie. He hasn't gone in the net in four years and almost quit hockey cause he was paranoid someone like beezer would call him nigger.. thanks bud! good one john! asshole
Poor beezer, he played like an animal and still lost because his team couldnt get the job done. Florida didnt belong in the finals hes the only reason they were there.
@citizen773 lol i've done the same thing. u have a good one 2!

the team that has the best fans in all of the NHL is the Montreal Canadiens (AKA Habs). And it's not as much opinion as it is FACT.
anyways, my fav team, aside MTL, is the Florida Panthers (AKA Cats). They're not that great, but they're SO cool! :D
