Buffalo Sabres "No Goal" (1999 Stanley Cup)

June 19-20,1999 saw the triple overtime 6th game of the 1999 Stanley Cup won by the Dallas Stars 2-1 from a disputed goal by Brett Hull known in Buffalo as the "No Goal". The reason the goal should have been disallowed was the fact Hull's skate was in the goalie crease when he shot. Appeal was denied. Here are some vignettes of one of the most exciting games in Sabres history ( if not most disputed).

Bettman recently came out in an interview with Bob Costas and admitted that allowing this goal was one of the 3 biggest regrets of his professional life.

@Alienxfb The 1st regret was becoming commissioner.

@insaneiaq Whatever. The point is, Buffalo got screwed because this whole ridiculous thing never should have happened. It's the only time in North American professional sports that a championship was decided a bad call/rule/whatever you want to name it. And it never should have happened.

The puck was already in the crease, which allows the player to be in the crease

[insaneiaq]

@Alienxfb No, he said the rule itself was one of his biggest regrets. Bettman had nothing to do with this goal be allowed or disallowed.

I've always wanted to go to a Stanley Cup Finals game. My dad was at the Penguins and North Stars game 3 or 4, can't remember which, in 1991 and saw Mario Lemieux's most famous goal live.

The Sabres are my second favorite team behind the Penguins.  I really wanted them to win this series.
