Best SCF games

I'll throw out Game 6 in 1987.

I was a Flyers fan at the time but not sure you have heard a louder arena than when Daignault scored the game winner. Bob Cole's call just added to the drama.

Probably Canucks/Rangers game 5 1994

 

[BigBadBruins7708]

big hits, tons of scoring chances, constant back and forth on the scoreboard...too bad the Bruins couldn't pull it out, this game probably lost them the series. Huge difference between 3-1 and 2-2

Kings/Hawks game 7 2014

It looked like it would be a blowout for the Hawks early on. However, LA fought back and eventually tied it in the third. Martinez won it on OT.

Kings went on to win the cup.

This thread says Cup Final, not Conference Final. But yes that's one of the best games in modern playoff history

 

[Siidekik]

Almost every game of the 2014 cup final

 

[Crosby2010]

Game 5 of the 2008 Cup final. Triple overtime.

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

Game 3, 2011, Vancouver vs Boston.

Bruins looked listless. Rome lands a dirty hit on Horton, taking him out. Bruins wake up and proceed to dominate.

HE BLEW IT

1992 Game One. Chicago riding 11-game win streak vs. Pittsburgh with a 7-game streak of their own. Hawks jump out to 4-1 lead but Penguins fight back. Jagr ties it with one of the greatest goals ever with five minutes left and then Mario wins it on the PP with 13 seconds on the clock.

My Best-Carey

That was an excellent game, I had it on VHS and watched it so many times that the tape got ruined.

Game 4, the famous coming out party of Hasek, was also very open and entertaining game. 2 and 3 were good close games too.

This series was the rare tightly contested and close sweep.

I am really not that susceptible to recency bias I don't think...but I just want to reserve spot for game 2 of the 2025 Final. This is almost a 5-tool game...if we get some goaltending in OT.

EDIT: Confirming this game belongs in the thread.

Both game 1 and 2 have been excellent

 

[Air Budd Dwyer]

One of my favorites. "Tikkanen, BLEW it!"

One of my favourite childhood memories growing up in the 90s.

What a game

 

[sr edler]

What a game, I randomly fast forwarded to somewhere mid-game and immediately recognised Momesso and Ronning buzzing around. Very recognisable even from a distance.

Naslund’s goal in the final minute of regulation is still my personal favourite Forum moment.
