Are we looking into a mirror 20 years later? We're in the finals
Do you have the Flyers-Red Wings game from March 21, 1999?
could never stomach Fox's production of hockey telecasts; the gimmicks and graphics all made look like a video game. Peter Puck is replaced by scoring robots. Doc Emrick's call was it's only saving grace.
Awesome! Do you happen to have Game 5 of the 1999 Final? It was the last game FOX televised and they had a cool montage at the end.
"The shot heard around the world" !!
The Buffalo Sabres’ first victory in Stanley Cup Final action in 24 years!
-Rick Jeanerret, legendary Buffalo announcer.
This was such a fun time watching the Sabres. The team had more heart than Mother Theresa.
Satan losing in Stanley cup finals just like the end times coming up short
I remember this game so well. I was SURE this was their year. Ooops.
Hasek was ridiculous in this game.
