Ya sure Don Cherry knows Pat Quinn is saying get the first goal in first 5 min... Seriously why is Don Cherry talking when anyone can make up that bullshit?
Haha what the fuck is everybody bitching about? THE RANGERS WON. Yes there was a huge riots and the people saying shit dont undertand how much hockey means to us here in vancouver so you SHOULD expect people to get rowdy win or loss! And this canada vs russia bullshit? ITS THE CANUCKS AND RANGERS ASSHOLES. There both power houses Russia : Ovechkin, Datsyuk, Malkin Canada : Crosby , Stamkos , Briere. And yeah i hate the leafs. CANUCKS FOR THE CUP 2011!!!!
Maybe Jeff brown should have been using that stick in game 7 instead of showboating it off on coaches corner maybe he would have scored...unless he was using it and just let them do the segment on it during intermission
@Hurley474 Thank you for that thoroughly convincing piece of work. When I debate an issue with someone, I refrain from personal attacks. I also ask questions, even ones that seem ridiculous. If you have a point to make than make it. I'm here all week. Tip your waitresses.
@surfer53 Right...they didn't win because of the Conn Smyth winner Brian Leetch though right? Or the amazing goaltending of Mike Richter...both Rangers products. You ignorant Canadian.
@surfer53 And is that not the Canadian way?If Bobby Clarke doesn't hack the shit out of Kharlamov's ankle (the Soviet's best player),the 72' Summit Series goes to the Russians.True, Messier probably never won a Lady Byng Trophy but that wasn't his game."Rocket" Richard and G.Howe were nasty fucks too, yet both players legacies are immortalized and enshrined within the lore of (especially Canadian) hockey history.Messier,being the 2nd leading scorer of all time,has to stand right beside them.
@f1shk1LL3R Messier will be remembered in Vancouver, but for nothing positive. He gave Linden a cheap shot in Game 6 that broke his ribs, was only called for 4 minutes when Bure got 5 for the exact same penalty, and then he came here and slowly ran our core players out of town. Oh yeah, AND he left Vancouver with another $18 million of our money and nothing at all to show for it.
For PR reasons, the NHL needed NYR to win in '94. It was part of Bettman's plan. Failed plan, that is.
@f1shk1LL3R Bettman is the Vince McMahon of sports. He doesn't give a damn about the integrity of the game. He's trying to beat a dead horse in dead markets. As a result, look at the teams who have won cups in the last year and look at their financial situation. You're telling me they won by accident? If Phoenix could put together a decent team, they'd make a run. 1994 was the beginning of Bettman's plan. The biggest market in the US wins the cup? Isn't that convenient....
@TheTzdope 1993 was his first full year as commish. Do the math. There are a lot of variables. It's not like you can jump into a job and make the chances you want immediately. It takes time. Also, I seem to remember McSorley foiled the plans when he got busted for having an illegal stick. There's nothing the league could have done about that.
Hockey is very big in New Jersey too dont forget people. Several great young players are from New Jersey in the NHL, look at the Flyers first round pick overall from a few years ago.
Being fair to Europeans.They did not grow up learning the history behind the Stanley Cup and just how significant it is to win it. 2wireg:Messier was Captain, but Leetch rightfully was named MVP and won the Conn Smythe.Malkin won the Conn Smythe last year and Zetterberg the year before.Toronto's all time leading scorer is a Swede.Chara and Lidstrom have been winning Norris Trophies. Ovechkin has been winning Hart Trophies.The Red Wings do not win a Stanley Cup in 96' without the "Russian 5."
It's hard for anyone who's not a Ranger fan to understand just how DEVASTATING losing this game would've been. Think of your favorite team losing in the finals and multiply it by INFINITY. The Rangers HAD TO win. I always try to imagine a worse case scenario if anything goes wrong as it relates to something that matters to me, but in this case, in the days leading up to the game, I couldn't think of anything. It was as though losing wasn't possible cause it would have meant unimaginable pain.
deffintely! if they didnt win it in 94 the drought would still be going on up to this day and for me that would be too much pain to be handling since im a ranger fan.
Don't worry Canucks now signed luongo to a 12 year contract so he is basically in Vancouver till he retires. and besides erhoff, hodgeson and schroeder will be awesome for us in 3/4 years we are going to win the cup in 2015 100 years after the millionares :P
why is it its always about the rangers this and the rangers that? when we look back at this....who the hell cares....1 year wonders thats all they were and if the canucks won we would have had players that would have resigned and stayed and would have had a dynasty
Because for a New York team to go 54 years without winning with the passionate fans we have it's hard for other people to understand. Factor in an expansion team coming to Long Island in 72 and by 83 winning won 4 cups while we with our enormous cash flow and loyal fans can only muster up a Finals appearance in 79. The Ranger drought was to some degree a fluke cause they did have great teams in the early 70's & good squads from the late 70's on. But to come up short year after year was torture.
BLAH...THEY HAD TO WIN... wow... who cares about the 54 year drought.... if you ever cried about your loss, you coulda had a number of sports teams' arms to cry on....
excuse me...I'm sorry to hear your pain, but the Canucks have come close x2 and never won and we're pushing 40 years. hockey means something to all of us here. Our passion for hockey is the same as a Brazilian's for soccer, or a Kiwi's for rugby. We are not watered down with peacock basket ball players, or boring NY Yankee baseball. If the Canucks win, all of Canada celebrates. When NY wins 1/2 of your city doesn't even know who is playing.
YES, the fans of New York DO KNOW who is playing, they did back in 1994 didn't they?? Do Canadians keep needing to pump up their egos just because we think we're better at hockey than everyone else?? ENOUGH. Why do Canadians continue to believe that nobody outside Canada knows anything about hockey? Get this antient belief out of your heads already! There are plenty of hockey fans OUTSIDE Canada & don't forget it!
And BTW, not ALL Canadians will celebrate if a Canadian teams ever wins the Cup again either; do you think people in Toronto would've been happy if the Sens had won in 2007? NO. And I doubt fans in Calgary or Edmonton would be cheering for the 'Nucks either. And being a Leaf fan, I just know that you all hate the Leafs anyway. So all this stuff about 'all of Canada celebrating' if a Canadian team wins is BS. It's not going to happen. Period.
I was going for the Sens and I'm a Canucks fan that sees the Ducks far more than the Sens. I have a collegue in Calgary that was rooting for the Nucks in 1994. Furthermore, I was rooting for the Flames in 2004 to beat the Canes....you are simply WRONG. Yes, it has been a long time that a Canadian team has won the SC. The salary cap will change that , but it takes a little time. Also, it's been a long time since team US has won the WC or Olympic gold. Unfortunately salary caps won't change that
i consider u a die hard hockey fan my friend :) unlike those other fuckers that are on some band weagon bull shit, in this years play offs i was cheering for 3 teams, montreal, calgary and vancouver but they lost so i just ended up cheering for the wings who also lost :(
You are wrong about this buddy. I agree that there is some very knowledgeable and passsionate American hockey fans out there...ESPECIALLY in New York. But when you say that Leaf fans wouldn't celebrate a Sens cup win, or that Edmonton wouldn't celebrate a Flames cup win... you are wrong. We live the exact opposite thing here every year and we cheer to the death the remaining Canadian teams before any other.
@MistaPPV Canadians would NOT cheer if the Leafs won! Because you all HATE the Leafs & Leaf fans! Leaf fans would cheer but the rest of Canada would VOMIT because you want the Leafs to LOSE every year!
So STOP with this notion that Canadians cheer for every Canadian team because you DON'T! You don't want to see the Leafs win anything, do ya?? LOL! Canadians all HATE the Leafs so NO you WON'T cheer if the Leafs win! I know I'll cheer because I'm actually a Leafs fan!
i'm sure there are.....but simple fact that shows the difference between our understanding of the great game and your country's understanding. When the sports news reports nhl they call it 'Hockey' most US NEWS channels that have their blurb of NHL NEWS identitfy it as "ice" hockey....big differenece
LOL Canadians rule hockey and when your Rangers won the cup who was the captain that led the team to the cup? Messier born where? Canada. My homework serves me correctly there are only two times a team has won the cup without Canadian leardership Darrian Hatcher of the Stars in 98-99 and Lidstrom last year. Canada rules hockey.
@ckendall67 too bad the majority of Canadians are in that little thing called the PLAYOFFS. If the playoffs were not happening Canada would dominate the rosters with the likes of ST louis Lacavlier Stamkos Luongo Gange Lucic Seguin Boyle Heatly Marleau Thorton Webber not too mention Crosby who is injured. So congratulations Russia beat a half assed Canadian team and even then they barely did it. How many good russian players are in the playoffs now? Zetterberg? LOL try again.
does every so called die hard hockey fan like u need to keep pumping there egos by fighting over a game? like hockey canada says "relax it's just a game" and im a true die hard hockey fan cus i like any team, im not on some bandweagon bull shiit like most ppl
@Tsunkuotaku ...well the Leaf fans would riot just as much if their team ever....LOLOLOLOLOL.....i cant finish that sentence....cuz every Canadian hockey fan knows that the Leafs will never be in the final...
@45skyfire No, you NEVER want to see the Leafs in the Finals, right? Because Canadians would smash out their TV if the Leafs ever won, right? The Leafs are suppose to lose EVERY YEAR because that's the way it's always suppose to be, right?? The Leafs should NEVER be allowed to win ANYTHING because Canadians HATE the Leafs with a passion & NEVER want the Leafs to win! EVER!!!! Right????
@Tsunkuotaku Don't forget the part he said about the Rangers: "If the Rangers lose, they're shot a dawn." LOL!! Luckily, the Rangers didn't disappoint, they won Game 7 in a classic :-D
Boy Cherry was right, the boys look like troops going to battle. I didn't watch hockey back then (started watching in 96) but this was by far the team that deserved the least to lose in game 7.
i gota agree with you sort of. i mean he's a good coach but he left the rangers just because neil smith didnt give him his pay check on the day keenan wanted to receive it. i believe that's correct right?
