That 96′ panthers team was one of the worst teams to ever make the finals.

Netscape was google at that point.
The internet was for naked pics of celebs, talking about bands and sending emails back then. And you did all that in about 25 minutes of dialup and then went back to doing real things.

The Panthers were also in their 3rd season of existence.

If it’s any consolation, the last time a team from Vancouver won the Stanley Cup (1915), sliced bread hadn’t been invented yet (1928).

You can all thank Pittsburgh penguins for this. You are welcome .

Vanbiesbrouck killed my Flyers that year in the playoffs. I still haven’t forgiven him lol. We were the #1 seed that year. Got to the Finals in 97 but Yzerman & Federov smoked us

Still more recent than the Cowboys’ last super bowl appearance

Now do one for the Leafs

and i still think of them as an expansion team because 1993 was only seven years ago. just ask anyone over thirty-five.

Sadly this also represents the time when I nearly killed myself in a fire. I say this because Game 3 of Panthers-Avs is the reason my apartment caught fire.

And then there’s the Leafs – man hadn’t yet walked on the moon, Canadian television wasn’t in colour yet, and Tiger Woods wasn’t even born yet.

I went to both of the Stanley Cup games at McNicholes Arena, Denver. Avalanche swept Florida and brought the first championship to Denver. I believe the next year the Broncos beat Green Bay to win the Super Bowl.
Now I’m a Vegas fan and Nuggets fan. Life is great — if we can get past Dallas.

The Red Wings hadn’t won a Stanley Cup in 41 years.
The Blackhawks hadn’t won a Stanley Cup in 35 years.

This is true. But Bob was making little boys cry and run to momma in Novokuznetsk. As he does to this day, but now in nhl and Florida.

The last time they were in the final the greatest rivalry in NHL history had just begun. Avs vs Wings.
