Claude Lemieux's third NHL title ring & 2nd consecutive year won. Colorado hockey's here to stay!
Not one but two failed clears by Mellanby
2022 it’s coming!!! Calling it 4.10.22
26 years later… The Cup is a mile high again!!!
I feel bad for the people of Quebec City, they could have had 3 cups in their city had they stayed there, but it wasn’t meant to be.
27 years later the florida panthers are headed back to the final to try to win their first cup final game/series
Saw the finish at a Sober Grad party after my high school graduation. Time flies.
Still don't see how Krupp's shot beat Vanbiesbrouck. Sakic was to Vanbiesbrouck's left so he wasn't screened.
27 years later these two cities would meet again, this time in basketball
The quebec nordiques should won that one!!! 😢
This will be the 2024 Stanley Cup final. You heard it here first…
I was at that game.. of all the SOG and that one gets through.
Almost 30 years later. I still remember watching this go in. As a Nordiques fan… 10 years old… That run to the finals I was going crazy for every goal, every win… but this goal I sat there and stared in silence. Staring at the TV. Being in flow. Knowing to take it all in. Pure joy.
And now 28 years later, the Florida Panthers are Stanley Cup champions
Finally, On June 24th, 2024 the Florida Panthers defeated the Edmonton Oilers in 7 Games.
Hurt like hell to see and remember it…
Until now when the FLORIDA PANTHERS finally have their franchise name on the greatest trophy in all of sports. I only wish the 2024 Stanley Cup Final was against Colorado, just to complete the journey.

I was 7 years old.
I have an avalanche flag in my room. Along with a red wings flag and a sharks flag
Best moment for the Quebec Nordiques
Uwe Krupp called King Kong Krupp was a great Player
I have a slice of melted ice from the rink from that night, it's in a puck shaped plastic container housed inside a Stanley Cup shaped piece of Lucite
The Quebec Nordiques win their first stanley cup.
The Leafs came close that year but it didn't happen

My mom in 1996: "Bed time."
Me: "But, but…it's the finals!"
Mom: "OK, fine. But you can only stay up until the game is over."
Me, 3 hours later: 😎
Loved Uwe when he was on the Island. Didn’t score much but played hard. So glad he got this one he’ll never forget.
