Game 4 of the finals in Miami has to be one of the greatest goaltending performances from both teams in history. I mean Roy and Beezy didn't let in a single goal until the 3rd fucking overtime. Major Avs fan but I have so much respect for the Panthers and Vanbeesbruck.

[@punasher]

It's Vanbiesbrouck. Yeah, I didn't spell it correctly the first time either.

[@CCUnderhill1007]

It was the longest 1-0 game in Stanley Cup history, the game didn't end until the next day.

[@mjmestas34]

I'd sit on the floor of my room, and watch this tape on repeat. Such a nostalgia trip!

[@michaeleastwood503]

I have been an Avs fan ever since they moved here, from Quebec. That 95-96 Avs team was unbelievable. especially bringing home the first ever Major league championship to city Denver. I don't think there will ever be another team like the 95-96 Avs team ever.

[@KeoTheCupcake]

I was at that game 5 at McNichols when Joe netted the OT winner. One of the best moments of my life.

[@megslynnandrade]

I LOVE Roy's quote " I can't really hear him cus I got my 2 Stanley cup rings plugging my ears) classic.

[@warrenjohnson1900]

I was around 9 or 10 when the Avs took this cup. Was at mcnichols when it happened. my dads best friend locked his keys in his car that night. Krupp from the blue line, 3rd OT winner. A day that will live in infamy

Game 3 was one of the most fun games I ever watched.

[@segagen8806]

The refs were fucking blind all games. Chicago was robbbbbbeeedd game 4. So many missed penalties. 1996 was the worst stanley cups in my opinion. Ref#25 for game 4 of chi and avs was definelty payed off. Fuck that dude.

[@jasonarokiaraj9817]

It turned out that the move to Colorado worked out well and they would’ve won the Stanley Cup against my Rangers in 2014, had it not been for that unlucky overtime goal in game 3 in Minnesota, which would’ve been their 3rd Cup in franchise history.

[@andrewdonnelly8369]

I totally forgot, but Deadmarsh was A-line with Sakic and Forsberg. He was better than I remember

[@lyxxor]

No one seems to talk about Peter Forsberg in this movie, that guy had 116 points that season! I bet hes back must had been painful after carrying the team

[@mikelynch7271]

How the Hell do you trade Patty Roy is beyond me ... he was the Montreal Canadians. But the new HC & GM needed to flex their muscles . All I can say is as a Bruins fan I was thrilled to have him out the division

[@MrKegan321]

Roy got scored on a lot times in the playoffs and the coach benched him. He was so offended (as he should be for playing god like in pursuit of two rings) that he marched right up to the coach during the game and demanded a trade. He got one.

[@grimpanther170]

@@MrKegan321 The head coach of the Montreal Canadians didn't make a goalie switch with Roy until after the 9th goal was scored on him in a game against the Detroit Red Wings on 1995. When he went on the bench he said to the team president that he would never play for the Montreal Canadians again and then he was immediately traded to the Colorado Avalanche

[@CCUnderhill1007]

The longest 1-0 game in Stanley Cup history was commemorated by the Florida Panthers organization by making puck size "Slices of Ice" from the melted ice from Game 4. 1996 of them were placed in a Stanley Cup shaped piece of Lucite, individually numbered. I have one of them, does anyone else?

[@rileykazama3145]

@@lagwagonQc I hope you get your team back

[@JABoyle3875]

The Nordiques in 1996 would not have won. No way does MTL trade Roy to them. Maybe he goes there as a free agent later. But assuming Quebec gets out of the East and faces either Detroit or Chicago, they don’t win. Colorado doesn’t get past Detroit without Roy and he was likely the difference in the Chicago series as well. (Food poisoning for the billion dollar barfer Belfour and a bad pain shot for that prick Chelios helped too…)

florida fan base in the cup finals seems so toxic. so classy lol throwing a rat after almost every goal. just let them play

[@ckendall67]

It wasn't 'toxic'. Clearly you never heard the backstory behind the 'rat tossing'. Scott Mellanby of the Panthers killed a rat in the team's dressing room then went out & scored 2 goals in their home opener. After the game during interviews, Panthers goalie John Vanbiesbrouck said 'Mellenby killed a rat in our dressing room before the game then went out & scored 2 goals, so he got a 'Rat Trick' tonight'. THAT is how the rat-tossing after they scored started. It WASN'T some 'toxic' thing at all. There, I hope I've educated you a bit more now. You're welcome.
