i've seen many many more than you - Rangers winning the Cup was special enough but it was more memorable because Vancouver gave them a battle unlike last season's piece of shit final between Anaheim and Ottawa. :

if you only go back as far as 94 then you missed out on a lot - by 94 fighting especially in the playoffs was pretty much gone and to me the NHL has lost a lot of its appeal without the fighting.

The Oilers were amazing to watch but only their first upset Cup ending the Islanders dynasty was memorable. Any of the Calary/Edmonton playoff series were classics, two teams that hated each other with a passion. I still liked the Montreal/Quebec City one better - I forget the year but their series was bloody and violent and probably the most compelling playoff series I've ever seen.

I'm old enough to remember the Flyers two Cup wins - they were right of the movie Slapshot and it was a spectacle - they played a classic final against Buffalo to win one of them. I think the biggest championship parade in any sport up to that point happened in Philly - that city was Flyer crazy, over 2 million people lined the parade route.

Montreal and Boston always had classic playoff matchups.

You should go get some tapes from old Stanley Cup series - the game looks a lot slower and it was but the game was better to watch, without helmets it was a lot easier to connect with all the players. Most are faceless robots today.

I'm sure YouTube probably has some vintage Stanley Cup games. I watched the 1967 Toronto/Montreal final game on YouTube - i was too young to watch that one but to finally see it after reading so much about it was great - i had goosebumps.

I'm sure Bobby Orr's classic flying through the air goal to win a Cup against St Louis must be on there.

Anybody who says Gretzky is the greatest hockey player in history is wrong - just find some tapes of Orr in his prime, he was the greatest - too bad his knees were shot so young - by the time I got to see Orr he was still great but hobbled.
