Bob Cole should have fallen silent after saying, "Here comes the faceoff and blare it Manhattan!" as he was telling viewers to just watch the final play of the game and let the city (of New York) celebrate.
This Stanley Cup clinching game features Bob Cole and Harry Neale at their best. I wish they could have posted more videos of such games featuring both of them.
For any Rangers fan, just these words said it all before Bob made the call of the Rangers' win: "Here comes the faceoff and blare it Manhattan!" In saying those words, he just said, watch the final play of the game and the city of New York celebrate.
No Rangers fan will ever forget these words: "The New York Rangers have done it here on a hot June night in New York! The Rangers are Stanley Cup Champions!"
The most famous call to the Rangers winning the 1994 Stanley Cup, coming from this video, and it's Bob Cole at his best and finest, and even Harry Neale.
@SNIyer1 not for anything but i think sam rosen's "this one will last a lifetime" call is a little more well known to rangers fans, or at least ones in new york city who watched it on MSG :P
@cornboy111 I disagree. Bob Cole's call is far better than Rosen's. 1994 was one of the most SHAMEFUL AND EMBARASSING years in New York sports history and in all of sports history because baseball fell victim of the worst work stoppage in sports history and how shockingly the sports world reacted to it. In New York, 1994 was a year of shame and embarrassment for NYC sports fans because the Yankees had not been in the postseason since '81 and Don Mattingly had not been there at all.
I was 2 when this happened, and I have gone my entire life hearing the story of that night from my father and how our family celebrated and the magic that had happened that day..finally seeing it for myself I now can see why my dad's face lights up when he recounts that game and I actually got a little choked up just now haha LET'S GO RANGERS!
Notice how there isn't all the crap on the screen. No score constantly shown, no time, no ticker at the bottom of the screen. Instead, you focused on the game. Simpler times.
@BostonBruinsHockey1 man that is fucking sick. i haven't seen anyone saying such slurs, but i wouldn't doubt it. i still love it up here though. also REAL vancouver citizens went out and cleaned the day after the riot.
@shiv604 I have no doubt they planned to riot win or lose, but looking at a variety of videos you have a ton of people in Canuck jerseys posing for pictures and feeding the spirit of the rioters- cheering and laughing! Given what happened in 1994, you can't ignore there is something beneath this town that is ugly. Just like their team. Finally, at the very least, can you admit incompetence on the part of the city? Don't you think they would get a larger police force?
@IsisPrince i agree there should have been a larger police force, but after the olympics they must have thought nothing was going to happen. alot of non-vancouver fans wore jerseys just to loot. there is a large gang presence in vancouver, and what better time for them to loot and riot. it is shameful to me as a fan that this happened, but it is also positive that they had a clean the city after the riot day. my friend was their and he heard ppl talking about rioting even before the game started
may have been mentioned already-- until this final series vs vancouver , the rangers hardly had to travel AT ALL that postseason ny islanders (1st rd) , washington (2nd round) and then new jersey (although nj proved to be very formidable and were a team on the rise ) not their fault whom they draw and this can potentially be the case any playoff year in the eastern confer
The Canucks were down 3-1 in the series and stormed back to force a Game 7 and only lost by one goal and hit the post late in the game which would have sent it to sudden death.
The Canucks gave the Rangers a run for their money and if it wasn't for Messier or Richter, the Canucks would have won the series.
@Edifice06 if if if if if. if the Canucks beat the Rangers in game 7, they would've won the Cup. If my Aunt had balls, she'd be my uncle... stop with the excuses. the Rangers won the Cup, get over it, your Nucks could possibly win it next week.
as far as i am concerned the Canucks won game seven, if that asshole had not of diss allowed the goal because the canuck had his foot in the blue , what a bunch of horse shit , and vanhelm the official got a 50.000 fine for being biased, big deal, the should have allowed that goal.
In calling the Rangers' win, Bob Cole said, "Here comes the faceoff and blare it Manhattan! The New York Rangers have done it here on a hot June night in New York! The Rangers are Stanley Cup Champions!"
After saying "Here comes the faceoff and blare it Manhattan!" Cole should have fallen silent, saying to viewers to watch the final play of the game and let the city (of New York) celebrate.
I'm a Rangers fan, but I want to wish Vancouver good luck in the finals in 2011! And CONGRATULATIONS on making it back! Please beat Boston! I hate the Bruins!
@bbasher79 I hope to write at the end of the Finals: "Congradulations to the 2011 Stanley Cup Champion Canucks." Vancouver and Boston previously lost to a Mark Messier-captained team in their previous finals appeaances.
As a Canucks fan I can say oh we almost scored, we almost stopped the shot and so much more, but the sad fact is we didn't. Same goes for the other 29 teams. You just gotta get up and keep trying
@smonkeyzooloo WHAT???????? the fucking net was wide open!!!! I -a non Hockey player could have hit that freakin Cave!-- The Canucks played a great series, #7 was not even as close as the score .NY Dominated them. I do wish that the Canucks Grab the Cup this year!
The most famous call to the Rangers winning the Stanley Cup comes right in this video: "The New York Rangers have done it here on a hot June night in New York! The Rangers are Stanley Cup Champions!"
@SNIyer1 It was a good call, but I'd have to say that the best call came from the Rangers television feed: "The New York Rangers are the Stanley cup champions! And this one will last a lifetime!"
@bbasher79 Sam Rosen's call was NOT the best one, because 1994 was one of the most shameful and embarassing years in New York sports history because the New York Yankees had the best record in the American League, but cruelly snatched away by a strike, which ruined their postseason hopes, because Don Mattingly had not been to postseason.
Bob Cole's call WAS THE BEST! In saying "Here comes the faceoff and blare it Manhattan before making the call, he said just watch and let the city celebrate.
@SNIyer1 What do the Yankees have to do with the NHL or Sam Rosen's call? LOL. Anyway I'm a Mets fan so I don't give a shit about the Yankees. They won 5 titles since 1994 so I don't think you'll find me crying for them over 1994. How was the 1994 baseball strike New York's fault anyway? I don't get it, LOL.
I'm not even a Sam Rosen fan but I still like his call the best. Personally, I loved listening to Gary Thorne on ESPN over Sam Rosen OR Bob Cole.
@bbasher79 The Yankees had the best record in the American League, which was the second best record in baseball in 1994 and were destined for the playoffs, but had not been there since they lost the 1981 World Series and hadn't won a World Series since 1978. However, the strike took it away and it shook New York sports fans to its core, especially because the Yankees hadn't been to postseason in a long time. Also, Don Mattingly, their star player then, hadn't played in October.
@bbasher79 Bob Cole was far better and his call WAS the best. You should be crying for the Yankees over 1994 because they were bombarded during the strike because Don Mattingly had not played at all in the postseason and led active players in games played and at bats without a postseason.
@SNIyer1 I'm sorry dude, but the Expos would've won the Series had there not been a strike. Stop talking about baseball under a video of the greatest 60 minutes in my life of a Rangers' fan
@OGKadaffi You have to know that the Yankees were constantly bombarded during the strike, as they were destined for it for the first time since 1981, plus their star player had not been in the postseason at all.
Canucks gonna take it this year, 6 more wins and it's ours. This game still breaks my heart though, I was 13 but it feels like yesterday. GO CANUCKS!!
@123loverXOXO Rangers right now are a decent team. We lost our 2nd leading scorer this year going into the playoffs. Tough break (literally). I'm happy for the Canucks as a Rangers fan. I hope they make the finals and win it. They came close in 1994. Vancouver's only title is the 1915 Vancouver Millionaires, I think?
@bbasher79 yes you are correct, Inside Rogers Arena (where I used to work) they have a huge picture and plaque of that 1915 Millionaires team. 1994 still feels like yesterday, as do the riots that occurred afterwards.
Awesome series.....shitty ending....Lafayette hits the post, that sums it up for me.....at least the Canucks have been to the final more times than the Maple Losers since expansion......2010-2011 Canucks gonna take it this year though!!!
@MrWestcoast45 I hope your Canucks go to the Final--and i hope my Rangers go at it and become the underdogs like my NY Giants won theSB in 2008 over the heavilly favored Pats! GO NEW YORK!! Best City in the world with the best fans in the world and the hottest chicks on the face of the earth!!!
@WuTangShogun36 Yes. You ought to see this one, as it's CBC's broadcast. Bob Cole, who gave the most famous call to the win, said the game was one of his most memorable television games. Also, this is the second most-watched CBC Sports program, trailing only the men's ice hockey gold medal game at the Salt Lake City Olympics.
Just before calling the win, Cole said "Here comes the faceoff and blare it Manhattan!" He should have fallen silent after saying those words.
@WuTangShogun36 Going further, why I felt Cold should have fallen silent after saying "Here comes the faceoff and blare it Manhattan!" before announcing the win? He wanted viewers to know that the Rangers were going to win, so watch the final play of the game and let the city of New York celebrate.
@SNIyer1 I know man. I was there so I couldn't watch it on tv. But funny thing. I'm leaving the garden way after the game. And who do I see? Mark Messier. I said Mark. You have given me something I will never forget and this city will never forget it either. I was wasted at that point (lol) but was sober enough to know my surroundings and all, and he said this cup wasn't for me or my big ass ego. It was for new york city. I was touched and started crying.
@WuTangShogun36 I was in Penn Station for game 5. We had been at that bar in Penn since 2:00pm and were lit by game time. By the end of the first period, some idiot walked in with an Islander jersey on. We ripped the jersey off his back, and passed it around the bar. He ran and got 2 cops who came back with him, he got the jersey back, (Torn to pieces) and the cops told him. "What did you expect, you're wearing an Islander Jersey in a Ranger bar! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA! GOOD TIMES!
@burt64nyg Honestly, Islander and Devils fans all have mental disorders. Everytime I walk into Nassau Mausoleum or Prudential center it's always loaded with Ranger fans so I never even quiver about wearing anything Rangers to the games. But you don't see idiots from the Island or NJ in MSG. Sean Avery even said going to Nassau and and Prudential feel like home games.
"puck is dropped McCtavish controls and it is all over ... The new York rangers have won the Stanley cup ... Something that most people did not think they would hear in their lifetime...THE NEW YORK RaNGERS HAVE WON THE STANLEY CUP!!!!!!!"
@TheTzdope I don't agree. Those words were meaningless for New York sports fans in 1994, as it was one of the most shameful and embarrasing years in the city's sports history because the New York Yankees had their best chances at a postseason that October ruined by a strike and it shook the team, the city, and a game to its core because they had not been to the postseason in a long time (since 1981).
That's why Bob Cole's call was the best call, particularly with "blare it Manhattan!"
@ErikHutt You need to understand that given the Yankees' history, if they don't win a championship, then the year is lost. They had a great chance in 1994, but it became a lost year because of the strike.
And the CBC announder doesn't say "blare it, Manhattan." He says "let 'er rip, Manhattan." Nothing compared to Sam Rosen saying, "And this one will last a lifetime." Plus you had the incredible and heartfelt emotion of JD with all the praising he did for the game of hockey, the valiant play of the Canucks, how the crowd was about to witness the arrival of the "Holy Grail" and so much more. There seriously is just no comparison.
@streglia The CBC announcer DOES say "blare it Manhattan!" That's why when he called the Rangers' win, which is the most famous one, he first said, "A lot has happened in 54 years, but for New York hockey fans, nothing, nothing better than this. Then comes the most famous call: "So here comes the faceoff and BLARE IT MANHATTAN! The New York Rangers have done it here on a hot June night in New York! The Rangers are Stanley Cup Champions!"
@SNlyer1 - how can you possibly compare the call of these 2 announcers who have no connection to the Rangers to the Sam Rosen-John Davidson exhuberance at finally winning the cup? Especially with JD being the former Ranger goalie who stood on his head to beat the hated Islanders in 79 to get the Rangers to their last Cup final vs. Montreal. There's simply no comparison. Have you even watched/heard the MSG version of the broadcast? Or maybe you're an Islander fan.
@streglia I have the Matteau call as a ringtone on my cell phone! MATTEAU!!!!! MATTEAU!!!!! MATEAU!!!!! STEPHAN MATTEAU! AND THE RANGERS, HAVE ONE MORE HILL TO CLIMB BABY! (GARBLED) VANCOUVER! THE RANGERS ARE HEADED TO THE FINALS! Right there is one of the greatest calls in hockey broadcasting!
@ECWJoe I don't agree. Bob Cole's call was the most famous one. Just with three words "Blare it Manhattan!" he said it all. He said about the long wait: "A lot has happened in 54 years, but for New York hockey fans, nothing, nothing better than this. So here comes the faceoff and blare it Manhattan!" Then came the most famous call to the win: "The New York Rangers have done it here on a hot June night in New York! The Rangers are Stanley Cup Champions!"
@SNIyer1 I agree, Bob Cole's call of the final seconds of the Rangers' Game 7 win in 1994 was great. No disrepect to Sam Rosen though, who did a great job as well in this game. Of course, Ranger fans will Sam Rosen's call to their graves as previously mentioned. But being from Canada, Bob Cole calling this game for CBC was equally as memorable for me personally. This was, without a shadow of doubt, the BEST Stanley Cup Final ever.:-D
i don't know if anybody noticed, but on the 1.1sec face off, watch closely as messier skates to the face off circle when the puck is dropped and pushes bure out of the way, then u can see bure clearly swing at messier, now that is fucking cheap, anyone else notice??
@supercoop0125 Yeah i noticed you have to realize the cup is like the holy grail to these players which is basically is the holy grail, when you lose the cup it feels like you'll never get it again.....
As this is the CBC's broadcast of Game 7, with 4.957 million viewers, this is the second most-watched CBC Sports program behind Canada's win over the United States in the men's ice hockey gold medal game during the Salt Lake City Olympics, which drew 10.6 million.
Also, the most famous call to the Rangers' winning the Stanley Cup comes right here, as announced by Cole: "The New York Rangers have done it here on a hot June night in New York! The Rangers are Stanley Cup Champions!"
@ECWJoe I haven't heard Gary Thorne's call. I best remember Bob Cole's. You ought to listen to it, as it was part of the second most-watched CBC Sports program, trailing only Canada's men's ice hockey Olympic gold medal win over the United States in Salt Lake City.
@SNIyer1 I have now heard 3 separate calls. Cole's, Sam Rosen's call[MSG Network feed] and Thorne's call. All are good. It is just a matter of taste. Thorne's call was the best of the three, IMO, but not by much over the other two.
BTW, This game was the highest rated hockey game EVER on ESPN, which did not include the New York area, which was blacked out in favor of the local broadcast over MSG Network[Last ever local broadcast of a Stanley Cup Final game, BTW].
@ECWJoe Bob Cole's call was the most famous one. By just saying "blare it Manhattan," he announced that the Rangers were going to win the Stanley Cup.
@nyyNYR2094 I don't know why you said this. This broadcast has the CBC logo at the lower right hand corner, and the most famous call announcing the Rangers' win is in this video, which goes "The New York Rangers have done it here on a hot June night in New York! The Rangers are Stanley Cup Champions!"
This broadcast is Bob Cole and Harry Neale at their best! If this was today, it would be Jim Hughson and Craig Simpson.

@johnnysama the 1994 canucks may have had more sheer offensive talent than this current edition I wanted them to knock off the rangers

@WuTangShogun36 Yes. You ought to see this one, as it's CBC's broadcast. Bob Cole, who gave the most famous call to the win, said the game was one of his most memorable television games. Also, this is the second most-watched CBC Sports program, trailing only the men's ice hockey gold medal game at the Salt Lake City Olympics.
Just before calling the win, Cole said "Here comes the faceoff and blare it Manhattan!" He should have fallen silent after saying those words.

@WuTangShogun36 Going further, why I felt Cold should have fallen silent after saying "Here comes the faceoff and blare it Manhattan!" before announcing the win? He wanted viewers to know that the Rangers were going to win, so watch the final play of the game and let the city of New York celebrate.
SNIyer1 11 months ago
@SNIyer1 I know man. I was there so I couldn't watch it on tv. But funny thing. I'm leaving the garden way after the game. And who do I see? Mark Messier. I said Mark. You have given me something I will never forget and this city will never forget it either. I was wasted at that point (lol) but was sober enough to know my surroundings and all, and he said this cup wasn't for me or my big ass ego. It was for new york city. I was touched and started crying.

@WuTangShogun36 I was in Penn Station for game 5. We had been at that bar in Penn since 2:00pm and were lit by game time. By the end of the first period, some idiot walked in with an Islander jersey on. We ripped the jersey off his back, and passed it around the bar. He ran and got 2 cops who came back with him, he got the jersey back, (Torn to pieces) and the cops told him. "What did you expect, you're wearing an Islander Jersey in a Ranger bar! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA! GOOD TIMES!
burt64nyg 10 months ago
@burt64nyg Honestly, Islander and Devils fans all have mental disorders. Everytime I walk into Nassau Mausoleum or Prudential center it's always loaded with Ranger fans so I never even quiver about wearing anything Rangers to the games. But you don't see idiots from the Island or NJ in MSG. Sean Avery even said going to Nassau and and Prudential feel like home games.

TheTzdope 1 year ago
@TheTzdope I don't agree. Those words were meaningless for New York sports fans in 1994, as it was one of the most shameful and embarrasing years in the city's sports history because the New York Yankees had their best chances at a postseason that October ruined by a strike and it shook the team, the city, and a game to its core because they had not been to the postseason in a long time (since 1981).
That's why Bob Cole's call was the best call, particularly with "blare it Manhattan!"

@ErikHutt You need to understand that given the Yankees' history, if they don't win a championship, then the year is lost. They had a great chance in 1994, but it became a lost year because of the strike.
SNIyer1 1 year ago
And the CBC announder doesn't say "blare it, Manhattan." He says "let 'er rip, Manhattan." Nothing compared to Sam Rosen saying, "And this one will last a lifetime." Plus you had the incredible and heartfelt emotion of JD with all the praising he did for the game of hockey, the valiant play of the Canucks, how the crowd was about to witness the arrival of the "Holy Grail" and so much more. There seriously is just no comparison.

This has been flagged as spam show
@streglia The CBC announcer DOES say "blare it Manhattan!" That's why when he called the Rangers' win, which is the most famous one, he first said, "A lot has happened in 54 years, but for New York hockey fans, nothing, nothing better than this. Then comes the most famous call: "So here comes the faceoff and BLARE IT MANHATTAN! The New York Rangers have done it here on a hot June night in New York! The Rangers are Stanley Cup Champions!"
SNIyer1 1 year ago
@SNlyer1 - how can you possibly compare the call of these 2 announcers who have no connection to the Rangers to the Sam Rosen-John Davidson exhuberance at finally winning the cup? Especially with JD being the former Ranger goalie who stood on his head to beat the hated Islanders in 79 to get the Rangers to their last Cup final vs. Montreal. There's simply no comparison. Have you even watched/heard the MSG version of the broadcast? Or maybe you're an Islander fan.

@ECWJoe I don't agree. Bob Cole's call was the most famous one. Just with three words "Blare it Manhattan!" he said it all. He said about the long wait: "A lot has happened in 54 years, but for New York hockey fans, nothing, nothing better than this. So here comes the faceoff and blare it Manhattan!" Then came the most famous call to the win: "The New York Rangers have done it here on a hot June night in New York! The Rangers are Stanley Cup Champions!"
SNIyer1 1 year ago
@SNIyer1 I agree, Bob Cole's call of the final seconds of the Rangers' Game 7 win in 1994 was great. No disrepect to Sam Rosen though, who did a great job as well in this game. Of course, Ranger fans will Sam Rosen's call to their graves as previously mentioned. But being from Canada, Bob Cole calling this game for CBC was equally as memorable for me personally. This was, without a shadow of doubt, the BEST Stanley Cup Final ever.:-D

i don't know if anybody noticed, but on the 1.1sec face off, watch closely as messier skates to the face off circle when the puck is dropped and pushes bure out of the way, then u can see bure clearly swing at messier, now that is fucking cheap, anyone else notice??

As this is the CBC's broadcast of Game 7, with 4.957 million viewers, this is the second most-watched CBC Sports program behind Canada's win over the United States in the men's ice hockey gold medal game during the Salt Lake City Olympics, which drew 10.6 million.
Also, the most famous call to the Rangers' winning the Stanley Cup comes right here, as announced by Cole: "The New York Rangers have done it here on a hot June night in New York! The Rangers are Stanley Cup Champions!"

@SNIyer1 Gary Thorne also had a great call on ESPN, simple but euphoric:
"THE RANGERS WIN THE CUP!!! THE RANGRS WIN THE CUP!!!! THE CURSE IS OVER, THEY'VE DONE IT!!!!"
ECWJoe 1 year ago
@ECWJoe I haven't heard Gary Thorne's call. I best remember Bob Cole's. You ought to listen to it, as it was part of the second most-watched CBC Sports program, trailing only Canada's men's ice hockey Olympic gold medal win over the United States in Salt Lake City.
SNIyer1 1 year ago
@SNIyer1 I have now heard 3 separate calls. Cole's, Sam Rosen's call[MSG Network feed] and Thorne's call. All are good. It is just a matter of taste. Thorne's call was the best of the three, IMO, but not by much over the other two.
BTW, This game was the highest rated hockey game EVER on ESPN, which did not include the New York area, which was blacked out in favor of the local broadcast over MSG Network[Last ever local broadcast of a Stanley Cup Final game, BTW].
ECWJoe 1 year ago
@ECWJoe Bob Cole's call was the most famous one. By just saying "blare it Manhattan," he announced that the Rangers were going to win the Stanley Cup.

@SNIyer1 Around New York it is Sam Rosen's call. Across the rest of America it is Thorne's. As I said earlier, all three calls were good calls.
