Watching this on the 30th anniversary of this Stanley Cup win. I hope that I can watch a Canadian team win the cup in my lifetime, especially the Canadiens
At the time of this game, the longest stretch between Canadian Stanley Cup champions was six years (1936-1941). The current drought is five times as long. I'm nearly as old as the drought, and would love to finally see a Canadian team win it. It would be awesome if my Oilers could do it, but I'd honestly be happy if any Canadian club could bring Stanley north of the border again.
Die Hard Montreal fan here. so many great memories. I loved the collage that cbc put together at the end to celebrate the run. Just a fantastic moment in hockey, so glad i watched it live. Looking back however, in the greatest offensive season ever were the stirrings of the dead puck era. Montreal really in effect started it with that run. Hearing Gretzky talk about the neutral zone trap they were doing. People didn't have answers for it, and NJ later under Lemaire absolutely perfected it. It took rule changes to free up the neutral zone and stop all the clutch and grab that hockey got as interesting as it was that year.
Lifelong, diehard Habs fan here also but I have to disagree with you. Montreal's system under Demers was NOT the trap, as it was when it dominated the league a short time later. His system revolved around a very defensively responsible 5 man unit, but unlike the trap that came later, it did hinge on strong forechecking and a very balanced offense. That team was highly underrated because they won all the OT games, but make no mistake they would have defeated Toronto too. Patrick Roy was not going to be outplayed by Potvin, no way in hell. And Montreal's depth would have been the deciding factor as guys like Lebeau, DiPietro, Dionne and Leeman meant a lot more to that team than people tend to remember. They were the best 5 on 5 team in the league that year, so they weren't as big an underdog as people think. Pittsburgh would have been a challenge for sure but I believe they could have beaten anyone, especially when Roy was at the top of his game.
Teams are used to that kind of thing --- it's the home fans that get a kick out of it. It has happened many times over the years, the teams and fans may change, but the tune remains the same. And just about every NHL team has been on the receiving end of that one. Montreal fans enjoyed 1993, their first Cup since 1979 and the fans sang their hearts out. The Canadiens however missed out on a trip to the finals in 1984 when the New York Islanders defeated them in 6 games in the Conference finals. This very same tune was echoing in the rafters on that night as well. You can't win them all.
I love Jacques Demers..... if you read about his life history it's so compelling. Class guy. I was a kid in Detroit when he was our coach. I think about him often.
Damm right he still has it. They both started out in the WHA. It's classy but also ironic. Because Jacques won the series because of a hockey stick. Thats called Symbolism.
And people wonder why I'm a Habs fan, or a hockey fan for that matter. Not barely 15 years old, and to watch this tonight still gives me chills. This was old time hockey, and will never be seen again. This game seemed fast enough, and good enough, Just my opinion, but the game has lost more than some people will ever know.
and probably ever will see them win again. Nobody wants to play in Montreal because of the taxes/language issues. The state of hockey at the grassroots level in Quebec is so bad that the Provincial Government is setting aside money to increase youth interest in hockey as it is now at an all-time low. There was a tradition of the Canadiens having a French Canadian to lead the next generation (Rocket Richard to Jean Beliveau to Guy LaFleur). That hasn't happened again and there is no such player coming up.
What is it about the number 33? So many great athletes wore it (P. Roy, American football star Tony Dorset, basketball stars Larry Bird and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, etc).
I was at this game. Myself and three Hab fan buddies scrounged for the last standing room tickets. Stood at top of reds centre ice for the big win! Best $100 I ever spent.
2004 game 6: The game entered overtime with the Flames needing only a single goal to win the Stanley Cup. Had Calgary scored the city would have been thrilled.
Thanks for the video! It was quite good quality considering the age and the format it was from! Sad that the habs got rid of most of the dominant players on this team
@@whackadooncopwatcher8115 preach. I remember having a thin metal net, brown street hockey pads and a jason helmet. At that time that was luxury. I miss being a 90s kid man. Was amazing.
I'm surprised this video doesn't have a ton of recent comments, given the Habs' run in 2021. I'm not a fan of Montreal, but their story was so compelling this year that I found it impossible not to root for them. Tampa was just too strong.
It should have been Montreal vs Toronto in the finals, as the Leafs were robbed in game 7. Anyway, McSorley returned the favor in game 2 and it was All Montreal after that. Just like the Celtics and the Yankees, the Habs will have their day!
Funny how Bettman didn't seem to like being here. And guess what? He took the job feb 1993, watched the habs won the cup, and no canadian team won the cup ever again! How funny is that? And last week, didn't even bother congratulating the habs with their beautiful playoff run when delivering his speech in Tampa Bay!
Not really, its been said that this was the worst team to ever win a cup. In fact, Dick Irvin said that this record of the 10 overtime wins will never be broken because a Stanley Cup caliber team shouldn't have to go to overtime ten times . They peaked at the right time, thats all. I love the Habs but lets face facts here. Pierre Turgeon getting knocked out by Dale Hunter didnt hurt and neither did the elimination of the two time champion Penguins hurt either
@@daveyboy_ and yet. they set the standard that all teams today try to follow ... a bunch of young fast talent, a few vets for experience and a hot goalie.
@@stevers17 No accounting for luck ! You've always needed a hot goaltender . Didnt they get knocked out in the 1st round the next yr ? Just like most teams nowadays. Worst team to ever win a cup. Thats why their OT record will stand forever, no team is that bad that they need to go to OT that many times
@@daveyboy_ Tampa Bay won the cup in 2020 by going to overtime 9 times, winning 7 and losing 2. Carolina did the same thing in 2002. This year Montreal has already gone to overtime 6 times, with the finals still to come. So, there are lots of cup winners that rely on winning in overtime. It just means that they are in close games, not that they are necessarily bad.
He was the worst in all sports ever. We would have get togethers to watch the games and mute him and take turns doing the play by play. Sometimes 10 or 15 or 20 of us, young nephews and nieces and it was far more entertaining and probably accurate than he ever was
How so? The NHL has never made so much money and at the end of the day - thats what its all about. Not who wins who loses, who gets traded who relocates. Its all about the owners making money. The owners and Gary dont give a fuck about u, me or Sidney Crosby. As long as they are making money. And they do that with revenue. Thanks Gary !
@Wallace Durango I'm Brazilian,i watch hockey,watch the NHL since my 6 yrs old,i a Leafs fan,but since that thanks to 2004/5 lookout hate so much Gary Bettman
@Matt Pizzano I agree. Sure guys are super talented and equipment, diet and training is better but nothing will beat those times. Hate sounding old but for me this was hockey at its best. Real rivalries, emotional games. Goalies weren't 6'8" with no room to score. It was a blast. I was only 7 when this was played. I sort of remember this final. As a sabres fan I remember mogilny and selanne killing it with their 76 goals. And all star games were amazing during these times. Definitely more gimmicky now. With the as game and other things. Glad I was able to see a still amazing gretzky and Mario. They were just insane. So many more legends during this era. Would take me all day to name them.
Kirk Muller was awesome wish the Devils didn't trade him away but we did get Richer and Chorske whom were key players in the Devils Playoff run to the Cup.
@@tombstone1111 although I'm a Kings fan and have been since 1975 (born in California in 1966 and raised in the San Fernando Valley near LA but have lived in Washington state since 1987) I agree that both, the Habs definitely outplayed us in this series, and, as a musician over 25 years, with both pro audio and video recording and editing tools in hand that one day may become illegal, thanks mostly in part to Hollywood and the MPAA and the RIAA, that the copyright laws can kiss my ass. It used to be back in the day that anyone can simply tape a show on their VCR and it was considered OK to play it back for old time's sake for as long as you kept it. Now, with the anti-copy-protection encryption on every DVR from every goddamn TV provider (cable, satellite, or telco, yes, even the streaming providers are doing it) you are slowly being no longer allowed to archive anything on it onto a physical source, such as a blank recordable DVD-R, or in the old days, a VHS tape, they have even made it impossible now to even obtain the older equipment (like the "black box") we used to get in order to defeat the copyguard (MacroVision) that every VHS movie or music video used to have encrypted in the video signal by passing laws making them impossible to get even on eBay, and now I hear they're trying to make it impossible to obtain one of those multi-region DVD or BluRay players in order to "regionalize" (in which is another way to censor) what we can see in our countries.
Ed Ronin,Gilbert Delorme,John Leclair ,Dipietro,Brisebois ,Odelein,unknowns at the time and eventual cup champs.I was so surprised Montreal won that year ,they never ran out of gas and lived on nerve.10or 11 ot's ,wow!Now that record is a sure thing lock.
If I feel bad for any of the Kings, it’s Alexei Zhitnik. He was one of the best defensemen of the 90s. He was incredible in Buffalo too. Loved seeing him paired up with Richard Smehlik along with Michael Peca, Dixon Ward and Vaclav Varada as the frontmen.
I’m a Blackhawks fan and follower of Canadian teams. I was 2 last time a Canadian team won it all. Obviously, I don’t remember that. Hope to finally witness it in a few weeks! Go Habs!
They couldn’t skate quite as well, but acquitted themselves worthy competitors. This series should have gone the limit, but Marty’s lack of brains messed it up.
This Michigander couldn’t believe the West Coast flim flam the Leafs were handed. Oh, what a ‘93 finals it should have been. Anyway, I have to admit, the better team won in the end.
@@richardkammerer2814 yeah yeah, Gretzky got away with a high stick. I have heard it a thousand times from Leaf fans. Funny that they never bring up what should have been an automatic suspension for Gilmour for head butting McSorely earlier in the series. I guess we only choose to remember what we want to.
@@craigkerr2764 And wasn't it Carbonneau in the finals that took a coffee break in the crease and got away with no penalty call? Stuff happens. It was all good hockey, but I was 16 the last time the Leafs won the cup. Cheers!
@@richardkammerer2814 agreed, stuff happens. Refs miss calls. You can take any series and find ones on either side that should have been called. 25 years later Leaf fans are still whining about that series. They need to move on.
What's happened to Quebecois players? They are no longer heavily repped in MONTREAL, nor the NHL. THE QMJHL/LHJMQ is now the weaklink in CHL JR. HOCKEY. What's happened?
I really wish Patrick had watched the after the cup win video with Ron McClean before he decided "He would never play another game for Montreal"! MAYBE...maybe....It might have inspired him to stay! I will never forgive Mario Tremblay for the loss of Patrick Roy!
I can understand your feelings ( it's still jarring to see photos of Bobby Orr in a Chicago uniform ), but Roy would have eventually left as a free agent.
@@lincolnmaceachern2410 I don't know where you're from, but in case you weren't aware, Patrick Roy was the star of a generation, playing in hockey's hometown and most obsessive fans. No, he wouldn't have left as a free agent. Any Canadiens management allowing this would be committing suicide, and should Roy ever do this be would become akin to a literal traitor. Hockey is very, very different in Quebec, it is not business as usual.
@@my3dviews don't care if they win the Cup. They are an average team with a Great Goalie just like the Habs that won in 86 and 93. Weakest Stanley Cup winners of all time.
@@jeffreykaufmann2867 Not true. The 1993 Montreal Canadiens had a better record than many Stanley Cup winning teams. That year they won 48 games, lost 30 and tied 6. For a total of 102 points in 84 games. The 1990 Oilers only had 90 points in 80 games. Four more games would at most give them 98 pts. The 97 Red Wings also had a worse record, (92 pts) 38 wins, 26 loses and 18 ties in 82 games. That's just to name a couple. There were several more teams that had a worse regular season than Montreal did in 93, that went on to win the cup. Even that last time the Leafs won in 67, they were barely above 500. The 86 Canadiens were worse than the 93 version, but still not the worst in NHL history.
@@my3dviews The 1990 Oilers and 97 Red Wings were more talented and more entertaining to watch then the 86 and 93 Habs who won mainly because of their Goalie.
** Trivia I : Absolutely unbelievable and true ! Did you know that Jacques Demers (CH's coach) could not read and write. We learned that here in Montreal years later. He had a big mouth, he could sell refrigerators to eskimos in the middle of winter. ** Trivia 2 : At the end of the game Gretzky gave his stick to Mtl's coach J.Demers. Nobody knows why??! Because in Montreal we collect Cups and not old pieces of wood. Gretzky and his bouncers should know.
14:39 Insanely late hit 15:02 Cross check in the neck (no call) 17:31 Most insane trip I've ever seen 19:50 Beer league quality give away leading to a goal 21:02 What is the D Rob Blake doing in the center of the ice?? 22:01 Blatant slew foot by Sandstrom (no call)
Both non calls were kind of behind the play do I can kind of see how the refs missed those. As for all of LA’s fuck up’s they had just lost three straight ot games and looked exhausted.
"Practically overnight" LOL. 1. League-wide scoring dropped 11% from 92/93 to 93/94. That's a massive single-season drop. 2. Muller had less ice time in 93/94, about 19 minutes down from about 21 minutes the season before. 3. Muller was reaching the age where offensive decline is pretty common. People don't realize it, but hockey is very much a young man's game especially on the offensive side of the puck. So no, not incredible at all. Really not surprising, if you know what you're talking about.
@@daveyboy_ LOL. That must be why Vinnie Damphousse had two further 90-point seasons with the Habs, in 93/94 and 95/96. Cuz that's what the team does to scorers.
Watching this on the 30th anniversary of this Stanley Cup win. I hope that I can watch a Canadian team win the cup in my lifetime, especially the Canadiens
It's almost as if it's been rigged ever since then against Canadian teams!!

My Dad was at the game!
I pray I get to see a Stanley Cup game with my dad in our lifetime together.
the fans chanting 'na na na na' for the last 5 or 10 mins of the game must have pissed the Kings off even more than losing
Nah, it happens all the time in sports. If you're down 3 goals with Patrick Roy in net, they knew they were already done anyway.
Be quiet already

Crazy; the largest gap between Hab Cups was 7 years (79-86, 86-93 ); now, at least 29.

@@tombstone1111 although I'm a Kings fan and have been since 1975 (born in California in 1966 and raised in the San Fernando Valley near LA but have lived in Washington state since 1987) I agree that both, the Habs definitely outplayed us in this series, and, as a musician over 25 years, with both pro audio and video recording and editing tools in hand that one day may become illegal, thanks mostly in part to Hollywood and the MPAA and the RIAA, that the copyright laws can kiss my ass. It used to be back in the day that anyone can simply tape a show on their VCR and it was considered OK to play it back for old time's sake for as long as you kept it. Now, with the anti-copy-protection encryption on every DVR from every goddamn TV provider (cable, satellite, or telco, yes, even the streaming providers are doing it) you are slowly being no longer allowed to archive anything on it onto a physical source, such as a blank recordable DVD-R, or in the old days, a VHS tape, they have even made it impossible now to even obtain the older equipment (like the "black box") we used to get in order to defeat the copyguard (MacroVision) that every VHS movie or music video used to have encrypted in the video signal by passing laws making them impossible to get even on eBay, and now I hear they're trying to make it impossible to obtain one of those multi-region DVD or BluRay players in order to "regionalize" (in which is another way to censor) what we can see in our countries.
Sorry just saw your comment. Send me an email vwm8534@hotmail.com
goosebumps. i was 11.
Who asked you
My best night EVER! And drunk as I was how could I forget!
😂
Ed Ronin,Gilbert Delorme,John Leclair ,Dipietro,Brisebois ,Odelein,unknowns at the time and eventual cup champs.I was so surprised Montreal won that year ,they never ran out of gas and lived on nerve.10or 11 ot's ,wow!Now that record is a sure thing lock.
Did Leclair star for Philly after his time as a Hab?
Who's here after Montreal beat Toronto last night?
1:40:46 Did the Kings’ player flip the puck into the stands? A lucky fan got a huge souvenir.
If I feel bad for any of the Kings, it’s Alexei Zhitnik. He was one of the best defensemen of the 90s. He was incredible in Buffalo too. Loved seeing him paired up with Richard Smehlik along with Michael Peca, Dixon Ward and Vaclav Varada as the frontmen.
You live in mom’s basement
L.A's head coach mullet is epic
Would you rather a team of only Gretzky and Mcsorley or 12 David Booths (all on the ice at the same time)?
Greatest game ever played
ever?
Go get that Foot in Mouth disease checked out.
Bet the crowd didn't think that over 30 years this would still be their latest Stanley Cup win.
Compared to today, it seems they are playing in slow motion.. :D
Montreal's crowd is intimidating.
The best crowd
I’m a Blackhawks fan and follower of Canadian teams. I was 2 last time a Canadian team won it all. Obviously, I don’t remember that. Hope to finally witness it in a few weeks! Go Habs!
I was 3 when this happened
First year I got into hockey and loved the kings, super disappointed to watch them lose this series
They couldn’t skate quite as well, but acquitted themselves worthy competitors. This series should have gone the limit, but Marty’s lack of brains messed it up.
Does anybody know if there's a 4K version of this😏
Gretzky was money against thé leafs in the semis, Carbonneau outplayed him in the finals. A true defensive forward.
This Michigander couldn’t believe the West Coast flim flam the Leafs were handed. Oh, what a ‘93 finals it should have been. Anyway, I have to admit, the better team won in the end.
Yes, Carbonneau was assigned to neutralize the play of Gretzky.
@@richardkammerer2814 yeah yeah, Gretzky got away with a high stick. I have heard it a thousand times from Leaf fans. Funny that they never bring up what should have been an automatic suspension for Gilmour for head butting McSorely earlier in the series. I guess we only choose to remember what we want to.
@@craigkerr2764 And wasn't it Carbonneau in the finals that took a coffee break in the crease and got away with no penalty call? Stuff happens. It was all good hockey, but I was 16 the last time the Leafs won the cup. Cheers!
@@richardkammerer2814 agreed, stuff happens. Refs miss calls. You can take any series and find ones on either side that should have been called. 25 years later Leaf fans are still whining about that series. They need to move on.
Harry Neal is our John Madden! Good grief.
Dennis Savard finally winning the cup
To think that Montreal could have been swept in the first round against Quebec. The rest of the playoffs were smooth sailing.
Quebec was missing one key player, Patrick Roy. Once they got him 2 cups followed!
Who still have this puck from 1:40:45 ? Great gesture from Gretzky and the coach afterwards
1:10:50 Halte-la - Les Canadiens sont la! :)
Nice to see all those québécois playing for the habs
What's happened to Quebecois players? They are no longer heavily repped in MONTREAL, nor the NHL.
THE QMJHL/LHJMQ is now the weaklink in CHL JR. HOCKEY.
What's happened?
McSorelys wrister was sneaky! Froze Roy. Whouldve thought
whos here in 2021....
I have this game on DVD
Gary Betman will never let that happen
Montreal for life love ya
thanks for that😁
1:41:13 Absolute class from Wayne. Forever one and only goat of hockey
why ??? .. lol ... In Montreal we don't collect used wood .. We collect CUPS. Tell Gretsky and his bouncers !
I miss the Forum 😢Jack
nice job-----on the ice---loooks damn fast
The '90's NHL was far superior to the 2020's NHL.
class Gretz move at the end
I really wish Patrick had watched the after the cup win video with Ron McClean before he decided "He would never play another game for Montreal"! MAYBE...maybe....It might have inspired him to stay! I will never forgive Mario Tremblay for the loss of Patrick Roy!
He recanted and apologised 2 days later. Rejean Houle still traded him.
I can understand your feelings ( it's still jarring to see photos of Bobby Orr in a Chicago uniform ), but Roy would have eventually left as a free agent.
@@lincolnmaceachern2410 I don't know where you're from, but in case you weren't aware, Patrick Roy was the star of a generation, playing in hockey's hometown and most obsessive fans. No, he wouldn't have left as a free agent. Any Canadiens management allowing this would be committing suicide, and should Roy ever do this be would become akin to a literal traitor. Hockey is very, very different in Quebec, it is not business as usual.
3 years later Roy would turn heel, and the Canadiens would never be the same franchise again
The Canadians don't even have a 30 goal scorer. Impossible to win the Cup
@@jeffreykaufmann2867 I think you spoke too soon. Just four games away from that happening. We will see if it is "impossible" as you say.
@@my3dviews don't care if they win the Cup. They are an average team with a Great Goalie just like the Habs that won in 86 and 93. Weakest Stanley Cup winners of all time.
@@jeffreykaufmann2867 Not true. The 1993 Montreal Canadiens had a better record than many Stanley Cup winning teams.
That year they won 48 games, lost 30 and tied 6. For a total of 102 points in 84 games.
The 1990 Oilers only had 90 points in 80 games. Four more games would at most give them 98 pts.
The 97 Red Wings also had a worse record, (92 pts) 38 wins, 26 loses and 18 ties in 82 games.
That's just to name a couple. There were several more teams that had a worse regular season than Montreal did in 93, that went on to win the cup. Even that last time the Leafs won in 67, they were barely above 500.
The 86 Canadiens were worse than the 93 version, but still not the worst in NHL history.
@@my3dviews The 1990 Oilers and 97 Red Wings were more talented and more entertaining to watch then the 86 and 93 Habs who won mainly because of their Goalie.
habs fans coming back here after the TB's 2021 Stanley Cup like : ' )
1:40:45 flipped the puck to a fan. Good man.
Wow so many ladies and gentlemen in the spectators!
Now ppl go there in their everydays apparel ;)
the ending was so emotional for me. let’s go montreal, make canada proud! ❤️
How did they go from being the winngiest team (24, still the most) to now not winning a cup in 30 years?
62 seconds into the game we hear the voice Harry " How the hell did I ever get a job in Hockey" Neale!
Betman didn’t look too happy
It’s sad to not see Montreal win any Stanley cups anymore
No it's not fuck the hobs!
@@eddierodrgz77 Who are the hobs?
forget Montreal , the other CA teams as well , 30 yrs no Cup June 9th 2023
** Trivia I : Absolutely unbelievable and true ! Did you know that Jacques Demers (CH's coach) could not read and write. We learned that here in Montreal years later. He had a big mouth, he could sell refrigerators to eskimos in the middle of winter.
** Trivia 2 : At the end of the game Gretzky gave his stick to Mtl's coach J.Demers. Nobody knows why??! Because in Montreal we collect Cups and not old pieces of wood. Gretzky and his bouncers should know.
This is a great win....it's sad that Canada hasn't won the cup since!
You probably meant Canadien not Canada
@@garbageday587 30 yrs today no canadian cup June 9th 2023
Damned, I still want Kings to win the Cup in 1993
At least LA won in 2012 and 2014
Not the same winning it without Gretzky. It would have been a fairytale, just like Messi winning the World Cup.
14:39 Insanely late hit
15:02 Cross check in the neck (no call)
17:31 Most insane trip I've ever seen
19:50 Beer league quality give away leading to a goal
21:02 What is the D Rob Blake doing in the center of the ice??
22:01 Blatant slew foot by Sandstrom (no call)
Both non calls were kind of behind the play do I can kind of see how the refs missed those. As for all of LA’s fuck up’s they had just lost three straight ot games and looked exhausted.
Incredible how after these playoffs., Kirk Muller turned into an offensive stiff practically overnight.
Thats what Mtl does to scorers
"Practically overnight" LOL.
1. League-wide scoring dropped 11% from 92/93 to 93/94. That's a massive single-season drop.
2. Muller had less ice time in 93/94, about 19 minutes down from about 21 minutes the season before.
3. Muller was reaching the age where offensive decline is pretty common. People don't realize it, but hockey is very much a young man's game especially on the offensive side of the puck.
So no, not incredible at all. Really not surprising, if you know what you're talking about.
@@daveyboy_ LOL. That must be why Vinnie Damphousse had two further 90-point seasons with the Habs, in 93/94 and 95/96. Cuz that's what the team does to scorers.
@@puckerings Then what? his career went downhill, just like Recci, Kovalev, Bellows. Want me to go on ?
Хорошая игра - на результат -
Patrick wha 😂
