Leafs - Wings (1993): Borschevsky Wins It

[JBlakeR83]

This clip is from "The Passion Returns" 92-93, and it always made me wonder, why was there not a "The Passion Continues" made for 93-94 when they again went to the semi finals, losing to Vancouver?

[Railfan2103]

How many people started looking for this goal after seeing it in the HNIC 93-94 season premiere video?

[natedawg3654]

I remember watching this when i was like 7 it hooked me on watching hockey.

[Buskieboy]

This one, Lanny's OT against the Islanders and Gilmore's wrap-around are all sweet memories!!!

[GaryDoke]

always good to see.

[TUdaToken]

Why do Maple Leaf fans still cherish this moment, oh that's right, still haven't done shit since, this only made the Red Wings stronger and stronger over the years

[Jman0079]

0:32 GOOSEBUMPS!

[CanadianGuitarist]

I'm a Habs fan, so I can accept a few "No wonder" type of comments, but my god were the 92-93 playoffs ever spectacular. Cliff Fletcher is also correct, by the way; I saw Borschevsky's goal with my brother and grandfather (both Leaf fans), and it was unbelievably exciting.

[mistrbrwn]

awww look at Cliff before he went senile. 

[JohnReid99]

goosebumps

[cne08]

My parents and I were at my Aunt's apartment for this game and we left just after the 3rd period ended and got home just in time to see Borschevsky score.

[Victor1970s]

Habs suck? Didn't they WIN the Stanley Cup in 1993? The team that did suck were the Chicago Black Hawks whom were the #1 team in the NHL in 1993, and lost in the first round to the St Louis Blues. Second worst team were the Quebec Nordiques with Sundin, Sakic, and company blowing a 2-0 first round lead to Montreal and losing 4games to 2. You must be a die-hard Leafs fan with that quote.

[Vertigo2903]

Gilmour to Bobby Rouse

[hangingbythemoment]

@Vertigo2903 Shot Scores!!! Nikolia borshewcksy wins it for Toronto, Leafs Win ! Leafs Win !

[MehrabS]

Pat Burns was a good coach. RIP.

[daMorg07]

Nice to see Pat Burns looking healthy there. Great coach, too bad he doesn't have much longer to live. :/

I remember this goal though. Good times to be a Leaf fan. I also loved Wendel fighting McSorley in the next round. Go Leafs go! We're getting better!

[Lennon4life1968]

Absolute Bliss!!!!!!!!

GO LEAFS GO

[robroythefirstmm]

I was 13 years old when this happened. I was so happy! Shit, what the fuck happened? I want to feel that again for the leafs but their incompetence is so hard to deal with.

[Danielof79]

@robroythefirstmm My sentiments exactly man. I'll always bleed blue and white, but the losing and mediocrity is demoralizing.

[dannyplouffe]

i can't wait to experience that feeling again. go leafs go!

[JDubs878]

I remember this goal, one of my all time favorite Leaf memories for sure. After Nik scored, I was jumping up and down like a mad man in my house and yelling my guts out. :D

This was the beginning of the magical run of 92-93. Too bad THE FUCKING KINGS AND FRASER RUINED EVERYTHING!! >:(

[okpapereat]

borshevski is great

[MrStones64]

just to let you all know, tjackson76 is a fucking pussy asshole. can't handle retributions..he loves to fucking run and hide.

[streetcarjay]

Losers

Even

After

Forty

Seasons

[WhateverUlike68]

Joe Boewens call gives me shivers ever time I hear it.

[Lennon4life1968]

@WhateverUlike68 ...me too my friend. I also like his "DOWN GOES BROWN!" call.

[CalcioStar84]

This was the first playoff series I saw Toronto win...I was so happy :P

[mistrbrwn]

I've always been a little creeped out by that Wings fan sitting right in front of Fletcher's box...absolutely no response when Borschevsky scores. Like a corpse.

[ddfjhnb7]

pat burns was the most baddass motherfucking coach the leafs have ever had

[billaroyamaha2]

Toronto is going to go mad when we make another run.

Thanks Cliff for the early 90's

[BonoVox41691]

I remember watching this game in my basement on a little old 12 inch TV. I was so angry and upset when Borschevsky scored, I found a baseball bat and busted the whole TV. Haha, good times!

[leafsfan1393]

GO LEAFS GO!!!

[Skinnycoffee]

Habs suck! Habs suck! Habs suck! Habs suck! Habs suck! Habs suck! Habs suck! Habs suck!

[ShutTheFuckUpWhore]

Gilmour's face hit Gretzky's stick.

[03kenseth]

@Skinnycoffee God bless you...

[gabbybones]

@Skinnycoffee  you realize the habs won the cup that year?

[Skinnycoffee]

@gabbybones If someone insulted my team, I would rub it in with a harsh reminder such as yours. I guess you win this time,....... but the Flabs still bother me.

[redmen1993]

@gabbybones yah but u beat the kings doesnt really count other then gretzky name one other player that had more points than gilmour?

[industrialsun]

@redmen1993 Gilmour had more points than everyone except Gretzky because he played in more games than everyone except Gretzky. Gilmour had 1414 points in 1474 games over 20 seasons. Kings had Jari Kurri (1398 points in 1251 games over 17 seasons) and Luc Robitaille (1394 points in 1431 games over 19 seasons). All 4 were great players, absolutely, but try to keep things in perspective here.

[TOSportsFan1990]

@Skinnycoffee Most accurate comment on this website.

[industrialsun]

@Skinnycoffee Ironic that this goal actually helped Montreal win another Cup in 1993 because Detroit would have put up a hell of a lot more fight than LA did in the Final.

[bunsnburgers]

best playoff run in my life time as a leave fan. sad those days are gone. such character back then.

[MeanGene79]

@bunsnburgers Your comment pretty much sums up the history of the Loafs.

[labao18]

this gives me goosebumps listening to bob cole and joe bowen call the goal

[Soviakunion]

Hasn't been a playoff season like 1993 since. That year was the shit!

[trunkinthefront]

I love it !

[CanadianGuitarist]

It's easy to say this since my team won the Cup, but the '93 playoffs were stupid good. Every single series offered something.

[Log1wo]

ohhhh unbeliveable lol :P

[stillmissdavey28]

I love Joe but nobody could beat Cole

[mistrbrwn]

It's Joe Bowen, and I agree he deserves to say 'and the Toronto Maple Leafs have won the Stanley Cup'. We can dream.

I don't think he was saying holy mackinaw at this point. I think he started that in the late 90's

Oh yeah, and fuck you funkybunny. Douche.

[mavrick790]

The leafs must win a cup for Joe Bowman before he retires. Ps. -Joe Bowman is the guy at 0:35-0:43.

My god what would happen to Toronto if the leafs won the cup....

[cosmicbutthairs]

this was better than winning the stanley cup.

[mistrbrwn]

umm not that I know what that feels like, I'm pretty sure it would be better than this goal.

[xulius007]

his son goes to my school

[kingmfcobra]

fucking chevaldae. piece of shit bastard motherfucker

[sweetmohawklady]

Man that was amazing, 93 was the year. Last great Leafs season. All Heart.

[Log1wo]

ohhhh unbalivable lol :P

[cne08]

Nice goal Borschevsky! Unfortunatley this was also the year The Leafs got screwed by Kerry Frassier. We would have won The Stanley Cup that year.

[Spiggy78]

No you wouldn't have. The Habs would have taken the Leafs in the Finals.

[JohnnyCashIsGod]

Bob Cole having an orgasm in round 1.

[gun4hire]

he wasn't the only one

[MapleLeaf97]

Oh look. There's Fletcher :)

[ovechkinator]

Beautiful!

[boygenius88]

which one was Joe Bowen? I didn't hear a "HOLY MACKINAW" or something like that.

[ovechkinator]

35 seconds lol.

I'm pretty sure they cut him off before he had a chance.

[MeMeMeSoKool]

well ur mom means sumthing lol

[boxerbriefs24]

Bob Cole is god.

[funkybunny9966]

No Bob cole is a knob ...He was good but he's the asshole who started the "de-troy-it" it's "DETROIT" ya fucking moron.. Cole needs to retire. That's why in this years playoffs he isn't doing the "A" or "B" series.

[boxerbriefs24]

What the fuck are you talking about? Cole is calling the top series for CBC again this year and deservedly so.

[aryanrele2006]

in a good way

lmaoo

[aryanrele2006]

what a nigger

[Flamesfan7]

The single most important goal in Maple Leafs history. THAT, my friends, was the day that the ghost of Harold Ballard left for good.

For the love of God, Toronto needs another one of those moments soon.

[goleafsgo02]

man..i wish i remembered this...i was only 5.

didn't start loving the leafs till 1997 or so.

[comfortablynumb2006]

what video is this clip from with the interviews and such??

[drhart416]

the passion returns

[Zxzm]

We may have gone on to win three Cups after this (how long has it been Toronto?), but I still rankle at this moment.

[JohnReid99]

oh, Unbelievable.

Joe Bowen, what a legend, I still get chills when I hear him call that.

[tasha2ca]

Man those were the days!!!!!!

[ACParker13]

Toronto should've won the Cup that year. F'n gretzky politics. The NHL just wanted LA/gretzky to go on that year for ratings and to boost american popularity.

Screw kerry frasier and his that dam rug on his head.

[BeautyoftheUnivers]

Shut up and stop making excuses.

Montreal would beat Toronto if the leafs were in. And the leafs had one more game to go on to the finals and they lost.

[drhart416]

shut up fag

[nevmiles]

A Montreal/Tornto final would have been amazing . . . but the Habs would have still beaten the Laffs.

[stubs96]

the leafs would have beaten the Kings in game six. I don't think that can be argued(5 minute powerplay with Gretzky in the penalty box), but I agree that doesn't mean they would beat the Habs. They may have had a chance, but we'll never know.

[canadaguy124]

fuck no

[mistrbrwn]

Mike Myers named his dog Borschevsky because of this goal.

[cptjrkov]

Im from Pittsburgh, PENS FAN FOR LIFE

BUT I TOTALLY RESPECT THE TORONTO FRANCHISE!!!

GO LEAFS GO

[5SHADOW3]

man i wanna win a stanley cup!

[juanito1975]

I can watch this over, over, and over! And I'll never get sick of this!

[mistrbrwn]

That playoff year was amazing...I have that tape and still watch it every now and then.

[jbristowe]

The 1993 Stanley Cup Playoffs was an absolute classic. I'm from Calgary but my dad and I were going berserk in front of the TV. We really wanted Toronto to win the cup that year.

[mapleleafsforever]

This #4 greatest goal in Maple Leafs History!!!

[cptsilverhart]

Number 4?! I say #1 since that was the first great Leaf moment I could remember, but to each his own. Hassled by the US guards, huh? That's great. Ha Ha Ha!

[THORfan7]

Our LEAF jerseys were covered in beer. We smelled like a brewery. They weren't going to let us back into Canada if we didn't take off our jerseys. I told the guard that I would NEVER take off the MAPLE LEAF! and that we would go to the media(downtown detroit was covered with media) with our story. The guard let us through, but not before a "fuck toronto" comment. We fired back with "LETS GO redwings" and chanted 55... 55... Priceless!

[conter777]

what were the other 3 in your eyes?

[hugecox]

"The Leafs WIN"!!! "The Leafs WIN"!!! Classic Joe Bowen! I was there that night. The Boss gave up his tickets. The best part was getting pelted by cry-baby wings fan throwing beer. Jersey was soaked, but we walked all through Joe Louis Arena chanting" Let's GO REdwings" Besides the other Leaf fans there; the place was like a morgue! Even the US border guards hassled us after the game.

[cptsilverhart]

Absolutley the greatest moment for me as a Leaf fan

[sk1410]

the most important goal i have seen in my life

GO LEAFS GO

[funkybunny9966]

LOL I hope your kidding!!! The friggin Leafs are a joke.... The past means nothing bud. Stupid Toronto sports fan.
