  1. I was at Game 7 in 1994 and at this game. This remains the loudest I've ever heard the Garden. The last 1 minute of regulation and the first minutes of the OT of this Game 5 were some of the greatest moments for this organization that I have had the good fortune to see in person.

  2. That was a great night. Too bad we tanked to the Devils in the next round. I thought we would go to the cup. Oh well, we got our chance this year. Just hope our guys keep it together and win it. It's been a long time since that cup has been in NY. I was a young man when we won last, I'm gettin old now! dont know if I can wait another 20 yrs!!

  3. The reason why the capitals had to blow this lead late in the 3rd period of game 5 is because of Joel Ward. He costed his team the game by taking a double minor penalty. Now if the Capitals didn't take a double minor penalty, then the capitals would have won game 5 to take the series lead 3 games to 2 and go on to the eastern conference final, then.

  4. Damn I miss this team 🙁 2012-2015 was such an amazing time to be a Rangers fan

  5. Lol I love when there are unlikely heroes like when a quiet postseason defensemen rips it home for the W

  6. Imagine had Holtby been able to cover the puck just a split second before Richards could get his stick in?

  7. I luv how you don’t hear “score!” being yelled bc you really hear that pop. I luv n respect the WWE pops but this hear is a real POP!!

  8. The lucky breaks the Rangers have gotten over the years vs the Caps. This, then in 15 when they were 1:41 away from elimination in Game 5 to have Kreider tie it and McDonaugh win it in overtime. Win Game 6, and of course Stepan in Game 7 (not as iconic as Matteau, Matteau) but arguably the modern day version of it.

  9. I remember cursing this Rangers team all game. When they tied it I didn't even cheer. I yelled out "THANK YOU! ABOUT 🤬ING TIME"

    I was so damn sick of them not scoring in the playoffs that I actually turned them off a few times to watch the Islanders-Penguins series because they were actually entertaining games.

    To this day I hate Tortorella for this boring ass team and Gaborik for folding like a cheap suit in the playoffs.

  10. 1:27 The shot. The sound of the puck hitting the net. Doc yelling “SCARRRRR”. The crowd exploding. The goal horn. The confetti. So satisfying.
