30 years later and it's time to do it again in 2024! LGR!!!!!

My uncle was a paramedic for MSG during that time and he snuck my Grandma in an ambulance into MSG for game 7 gainst the Devils, no seat, so she just stood behind The net, was behind the net when Matteau scored. Got a picture with the cup in the next round once again snuck into MSG, LOVE THE RANGERS #LGR

EVERY hockey fan should watch this video. No matter your fandom, this is an outstanding piece of hockey history.

Devils fans since 1985. This was one of the best sports documentaries I’ve ever watched. ‘90s NHL was awesome.

I’ll never forget... the only time I ever saw my Dad shed a tear... one of the great moments of my life to see that championship

I still cry everytime I watch this. Tears of joy. Brings back so many memories. Thank you 1994 New York Rangers!!!!

My late father was a New York Ranger fan since the age of 13. He grew up on the east side and fell in love with hockey at that age and he just follow the Rangers year after year until 1968 when he bought two season tickets at the Garden to his beloved blue shirts. He had those seats until2020 when you can no longer physically go down into the City and pass them on to my brother-in-law. He has been honored at Center Ice as a 50-year plus season ticket holder and I can tell you other than marrying my mother and the birth of my sister and myself the Rangers winning the Stanley Cup in 94 was one of the greatest moments in his life. I watch these videos and I think how much I love him, he brought me to so many games I can't even begin to count. And he finally saw his cup in 94 after telling me several times we would have won it in the early 70s except for a guy who wore number 4 for the Bruins , Bobby Orr.

Leaf fan here..... We still know how this feels in 2022! 55 years and counting! Go Leafs Go!!!

when i saw 2 hr long vid, i said, who in their right mind would waste 2 hrs of their day watching something that happened 23 yrs ago. Well, i started watching and could not stop. i ended up watching it all. It was so interesting, and i'm from MTL and not a NYR fan. but it brought back good memories.

Saddest story a friend who was a Ranger fan since the 1960s was thrilled to see the Rangers win the Cup and commented,” my life is now complete.” He would die in an accident 3 weeks later. RIP AC

36 year old Bruins fan and the ‘94 Final is my favorite.

Great upload! Been a Rangers fan since 72' Adam Graves lived on my street in Toronto. I remember playing road hockey with him and skating on the pond behind my house and at Cliffwood park with him, he was just so much better than all of us. I cried on that day when the cup was won and was proud of Adam! It was the best Stanley cup ever!! Messier is a legend! That team was special.

As a Flyer fan of 50 years, I enjoyed this as a hockey fan. Very well done.

One of the best made hockey docs ever. Exceptional.

LETS GO RANGERS!!! This gives me chills. Wasn’t alive to see it but I know I’ll be alive for another cup to come. LGR🔴⚪️🔵

23 years later and I still get goosebumps.

I put this on as I was working on my sound card and I needed something to play while I tested settings...I started to watch it...and could not stop. This had all the heartaches any joy that any true fan has had to endure when following their sports team. Talking to the sports writers, players, coaches, fans, etc...just was really a joy to watch. I now will find something hopefully boring to contnue to work on my soundcard! lol

So happy to see this on UKposts since so many fans I know have been asking about it. Cannot begin to tell you what an honor and privilege it was to be a part of this. :)

Game 6 in New Jersey was the greatest game in Ranger History and maybe the greatest game in Hockey History! Oh yeah game 7 was pretty good too. It's been 30 years and I can still hear it ringing in my head, Matteau - Matteau - Matteau

This all started with me telling my wife that I'm ready to go out and her replying 'Okay hun, I'll just need a sec'. Then me opening my laptop and the youtube algorithm giving me this amazing 100 minute experience. Thank you! From a Jets fan (since -91)

Proud to say I marched in that Cup parade. My roller hockey league was able to get a pass and we were on the street walking down Broadway. It's almost impossible to put into words the jolt of energy, of utter awe, that crowd noise provided. The happiness was so palpable. I help up a sign that said "What now Islander fans?" The people on the sidewalk roared. This was a great documentary, the first time I've seen it. One of the greatest moments of my life.

As a Blues fan I completely understand every part, every emotion these fans felt in this video!!!!!

Insane series. Never gets old.

I'm a Leafs fan. All my life. I'd give anything to win that damned cup. Rangers fans yeah it's 25 years ago now, but I'd give anything to have shared one cup with my dad. He was THE GREATEST Leafs fan of all time, believe me. 35 years we had season tickets. I watched the Leafs get eliminated by Boston, again, with him last month. His last game it turns out. He died three days later.

My dad, brother and I were long-time fans: my late father since about the 1940's; my brother since about 1970; me since about 1976. My dad and I were on the phone immediately after the 1994 win and we just laughed and laughed. We had moved from Brooklyn to Huntington, L.I. when I was 4. I grew up a city boy in the burbs. I had suffered most of my young life under the shadow of the NY Islanders dynasty. My nearest redemption coming so, so close in 1979 only to be dashed by Montreal. I kind of lost my belief in the team for a while, but of course came back in maybe 4-5 years. Then came that glorious, sun-swept day. My favorite sign in the audience : "Now I can die in peace." EXACTLY how I felt. No other win is now necessary to always have my Gers in my heart. No other sporting event can match the anxiety of the near-fatal plays; none will ever bring such great relief; none will come within 10,000 miles of her majesty.

Oh God!! The Chief!!! There wasn’t a game at The Garden where we wouldn’t see him walking around. Then there was Debbie with her epic poetic banners!

I’m a Habs fan too but I was happy for the Rangers when they won it back in 94 I remember vividly When I was a kid for us winning the cup was a tradition and I took it for granted. After 27 years of waiting for another one I will really appreciate the moment. Seeing the joy of the New York fans made me dream Excellent video. Thanks for sharing Let’s hope sooner than later

I was a young man in the military serving in Korea when this happened. I remember watching games while eating breakfast in the chow hall. Everyone thought i was nuts during the NJ series. I was jumping around slinging hash browns over everyone hollering , and laughing. I hope that I can witness another sporting event that can even come close to the excitement that the 93-94 season had.

Remembering this in 94 ,collecting my winnings from my home boys and shedding a tear.I waited since their were six in the league and in black and white

I know this sounds random but... I became a hockey fan in 94. I'm from Dallas and just fell in love with The Stars instantly. After The Stars were knocked out the 1994 playoffs... I heard about how long it had been for the New York Rangers. That Stanley Cup Finals series was unreal. The Canucks and The Rangers going at it like 2 heavyweights. All 7 games. Besides The Stars moving to Dallas from Minnesota. This is what made me love The NHL... Thanks for posting.

One of my all time favorite documentaries. Always watch it during playoffs. Rangers work hard and take it age by game!!!! #LGR

ALL of these Stanley Cup pieces are excellent! Every year, every team from 94' to last season with Vegas. Wonderful works and so much fun to revisit. But, this one is by far THE BEST!

This brings back so many memories for me!!!. I had 100 heart attacks watching this series,and I see I wasn't the only one!!! I will always love this team

The summer of 94...I was only 12, but it was such an incredible time.

I'm not a Rangers fan, but this video made me feel good for their fan base. Definately Top 5 jersey of all time.

I'm not a Rangers fan, but this just gave me shivers

As a Bruins fan, I’ve always been most impressed with and envious of Ranger fans. Very loyal group and still support when it’s a struggle. They don’t need to trick out MSG to pander to pink hats like our home and they’ve always travelled in numbers with dignity regardless of standings. My brother is a big fan and they’re no doubt my second team. I watched every game of this final at my buds house in Mass like a ritual with some beers and a nice J, completely enthralled.

I remember that. The seven games of the final were even shown live overseas here in Europe. I've been obsessed with hockey ever since. In my humble opinion it was the best SCfinal. What a brilliant team these Rangers were and they had a truly worthy opponent in the Canucks. Btw: The jerseys looked so much better back then and were of great quality 😉

No matter how many times I watch this I always get chills #LGR #NYRFORLIFE

I was born in 1990, the best day of my lifetime is the only Rangers playoff game I went to, I was 3 going to game 7. I was a die heart Rangers fan. I screamed when they won.

I had season tickets that year with my dad. It was the best year of my life. If I could relive one day with my dad it would be the day our beloved Rangers won the Stanley Cup

The rangers had 54 years of waiting. Leafs fans be patient 52 years and counting 😞😞

Goosebumps are real. Incredible video, this made me a Rangers fan as an 8 year old. I saw the game in the morning the day after since i live in Europe. Amazing

Not a rangers fan by any means, a penguins fan actually. But my God, if this isn’t the greatest single season story ever told, I don’t know what is.

As a VANCOUVER (heart 🏒 💔 broken) CANUCKS FAN I 26yrs later, say congrats 👏 Although this special look back coverage didn't cover everything like the line brawls the bruises black eye and harsh words just to get to the Finals each team went through. This was a great show and you New Yorkers are awesome NHL HOCKEY FANS People, your boys were the better team that night.. again congrats! I remember our CANUCKS RUN that year as we were enjoying our new super star Pavel Bure and how the entire team evolved seemingly over night to support keeping a super star. We are still battling for the cup, so many ups and downs... being a NHL HOME TEAM FAN is gut wrenching Rollercoaster... its all a blast though.

I was born in Brooklyn in 92' started watching in 97' One day I will have my own days of 94 one day COME ON RANGERS!

Mark Messier deserved to make the salary he made in that NHL trade he was one of the greatest leaders I've ever seen on an NHL Hockey 🏒 team I was never really an Oilers fan but you had to admire his leadership and skill to lead his team's it's really outstanding to win 6 Stanley Cups 5 with the Edmonton Oilers and a 6th with The New York Rangers what an outstanding career but it takes hard work and dedication to become a success in any sport Mark Messier was all those things and a true leader I'm an NHL fan.

Just *HAD* to come back here after the Rangers just won game 7 vs. the Canes last night, coming back to this video just gives good vibes #GoodLuckCharm

This truly was an amazing, magical ride which us Rangers fans will forever remember as long as we live. That being even if this cup did cost them dearly down the road, and was as if a new curse was placed on the franchise in return too. It was well worth it, but still though!

Just thinking of that moment when the clock hit Zero in game 7, I was 10, oh my God!! I still get chills!! Thank you Rangers for giving us fans what you have!! Thank you Hockey Gods!! hahaha Greatest game on Earth !!

I watched the Rangers win the cup that year with my buddy and his dad. I remember watching my buddies dad cry that night becuase his father had been a Rangers fan since 40's and had never got to see them win the cup. I'll always remember the tears that ran down his face. RANGERS HOCKEY FOREVER!

In 1992 my very good friend Mark Gentler (NHL scouter - agent for Russian players at that time. I am a Russian also and a big Rangers fan) introduced to me Valery Zelepuhin and his wife Stella. I help them to find apartment to rent in West Orange after he was called up from the farm team in upstate NY. I’m much older than him, but we became good friends and I was happy to see him becoming a successful NHL player. But boy oh boy!!!! Did he break my heart with 7 seconds remaining??!!! If you look again at the moment Stefan Matteau scored that famous overtime goal, he tried to get up from his knees to celebrate…. Valery was tripping him several times and I was laughing my a…s out. I called him next day and said “I hate you for that goal, but love you for that tripping on Matteau”. Matteau Matteau Matteau …. Oh what a wonderful feeling!!! Valery has won several Stanley Cups the following years with Devils and I had a chance to hold a cup in my hands, but it really felt strange as I was holding someone else’s million dollar check. It’s like who cares?

"Matteau, Matteau, Matteau." Greatest call of all time.

Man I haven't seen this in like 4 years. Thank you for uploading this.

The best playoffs series of any sport, ever. NYR vs NJD, 94.

I was at yankee stadium for game 6 at the devils. there was a rain delay during the game, everyone was under cover. then all of a sudden, the whole stadium erupts. everyone gets the news of messier hat trick. It was awesome

Watching this again during Covid-19 and it brings back such awesome memories. Being 58. I'm in that sweet spot of having dealt with so many disappointments and horrific losses and so when the Cup was won, it really was a "I could die in peace" moment for any of us in our early 30's at the time. I gotta really good feeling that this current Ranger team has a few Cup runs in it during this new decade and it will be glorious for sure but not sure anything will ever top the '94 Cup win which broke the 54 year curse!. Lets Go Rangers!!

What a story by the Rangers that year. From a Caps fan

I had never seen this video and it was absolutely great to relive that season. Like many of those guys I've been a Rangers fan since 1968. I lived through all the heartache and heartbreak with them losing to the Bruins in the '72 finals then besting the Islanders in '79 only to lose to the Canadians in the finals. It took a Champion like Mark Messier to come here and display a the heart and mental toughness to win a Championship. His guarantee and hat trick vs the Devils showed what a true champion is. It filtered through the rest of the team and culminated in the greatest win in Rangers History.

I thought I’ve seen it all related to the 94 Rangers. This was amazing. Thanks for posting.

I was 7-8 years old when I saw my first Ranger game at the Garden in the early 70's. My dad bought me an Eddie Giacomin poster that I had in my room until I moved out. I love Howie's quote about the end of the 3rd period of Game 7 of cup finals(1:26:02). It sums up what's it's like to a Ranger fan.

Amazing documentary, just makes me appreciate hockey even more. I'm not even a Rangers fan, but this is great to watch. Messier is a legend.

Been bleeding blue since 1965, season subscriber my entire life, 1994 will last my entire lifetime, thanks again boys, for the millionth time !

Brings back so many memories of my childhood. One of the highlights of it for sure

Game 6 and 7(RANGERS VS dEVILS) , probably the most INTENSE games in sporting history. They compare to the 1980 USA vs USSR!!! I have always been an Islanders fan, but what Mark Messier did in game 6 was EPIC!!!! You have admire what he did before and after game 6, no matter what team you follow. I will always have a special place in my heart for this one hockey series(Rangers vs Devils).The finals were anticlimatic, I knew the Rangers were gonna win. OH, one last thing: MATTEAU, MATTEAU, MATTEAU, STEPHAN MATTEAU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i will always remember how we were losing game six, down three games to two, by two goals after one period, and how, at that point, I gave up on them, in despair. Thank goodness they did not give up on themselves. But I will never forget how depressed I felt when all seemed lost.

These were one of the best 1:40 best spent hours! Let’s Go Rangers!!,

I remember watching this on TV always a flyers fan but love hockey. An amazing story in all of sports history

Been a Rangers fan since seeing my first game at the old Garden, December 26, 19 54, a tie with the Black Hawks. They were the two worst teams in hockey, that year, but I loved the sport and adopted the players as my own. Andy Bathgate, Dean Prentice, Gump, Harry, Louie Fontinato et al, I will always love them all.

Glossed over how weird game 5 was. Canucks led 1-0 going I to the 3rd. Scored 2 to make it 3-0. Rangers score 3 to tie. Canucks score 3 more to win 6-3. 8 goals in the third period in game 5 of the finals--unbelievable.

Awesome doc for ANY hockey fan! I'm fr Toronto but man, this ending put a frog in my throat! Very well done! Incredible hockey story!

Great documentary! As a DucksFan, I always wanted to see Hank lead the mighty Rangers to a Stanley cup before his days seem scarce. Heads up Ranger fans, you'll get yours soon. Especially with guys like Chytil and Andersson coming up.

I'm not a Rangers fan but this was an incredible hockey moment. Then the NHL s--t the bed by having the work stoppage. It had the momentum to pass the NBA and really become a fixture...and blew it.

Great to see a star of another sport (NFL) like Boomer Esiason be even more passionate here about hockey and following the Rangers since he was a kid with his Dad.

Thank you so much for posting this.

Great documentary! Remember that year like yesterday! Canadian jets fan here

Very good and glad to see on UKposts, but there are some things I'm surprised they glossed over: Adam Graves' 50th goal Mike Richter's 20 game unbeaten streak Hosting All-Star Game weekend The 16 game unbeaten streak right after that bad Anaheim loss Steve Larmer's return to Chicago Gartner's 600th goal

watched it all the way through. no skipping. loved every minute of it. #LGR

i was born in 99, now we need another so i can die in peace

Thank you Rangers! You made my precious memories.

Wow, what a great refresher on one of the best sports stories ever!

23 years later and we still haven't won yet again. At least when we do it'll be special like this one. I've been waiting to see Lundqvist hold the cup over his head and I can't wait to see it

Bobby Nystrom was beside me at bar in Huntington, Long Island. The night the Rangers went down 3-0 in one of the 94 finals game (game 5?), tied the game 3-3, but then lost 6-3. I was in AGONY! And then, and I was on no hallucination inducing narcotics, but Bobby Nystrom put his arm around this Ranger fan’s shoulders and assured me, “ Don’t worry, man. It’s their year.” I didn’t believe him, but they won.

thanks mark messier for this amazing Stanley cup !!!

No other sport can produce this type of non-stop emotion. NHL is the best!

This team actually got me interested in Hockey

This video will last a lifetime. I'm so blessed To have watched this game with my mom.🙏🏼

Thank you for putting this up, I wasn’t alive for this but I watch this video like once a week and I’ll continue to do so until the Rangers win another!

1:01:20 I watched that game as a devil fan they both gave 110% it was a goalie game about 100 saves in game 7. both teams were Stanley cup material. 1994 rangers 4/3 then 95 devils sweep 4/0. 🏆

It seemed like the curse was still there when the Devils tied that game with 7 seconds left

i was 13 when they won the cup and it was amazing... I'm waiting for them to win again.. So i can partake in the fun. But they are and will always be my team! Let's go Rangers!

One of the best sports docu's I've ever seen!

As a canucks fan the rangers did a great job😢❤

Mike Richter, Mark Messier, Esa Tikkanen, Adam Graves, Brian Leetch, Alex Kovalev, Sergei Zubov, Steve Larmer, Glenn Anderson, Brian Noonan, Stephane Matteau, Kevin Lowe, etc. What a team!

Ranger fan since 1976 at 6 years old. Thank you for uploading this. My favorite Ranger team was in 79 when we came close but this is right up there too. Hard to believe been 25 years since. Feels like 10 years. Another 15 years or so to go and we will be talking about people chanting 1994. lol

Well done. So awesome to think of this great team. Thanks 🙏 for sharing from Regina Saskatchewan

I love the flyers but this story gave me chills. What a remarkable run to the cup final. Flyers swept them the following year in the 95 playoffs.

Who's watching today? 01.06.19 2019 - 1967 (Leafs) = 52 years since the last Stanley 😢! In 2 years it's ours 🏆!!! (54😉) 1994 to 2019 its already been 25 years... Wish that you Ranger fans don't have to wait so long again...

Never in a million years thought that this would be the last one 30 years later....This year we got the team, we got the goalie , we got the coach.....LGR!!!

Great document, glad to be for everyone on UKposts
