If any of you New York people want to see it for yourself Bure was asked if he held resentment for richter when he was traded to New York and that was his answer . You should read what Wayne Gretzky said about Bure and the nyr gm not telling him they were working at it. Gretz said he would have extended his career to play with Bure and Fluery.

What a poet. His grasp of the English language surprises many.

I'm a Vancouver fan. The 94 loss hurt way more than the 2011. The 94 series in my opinion is still the best Stanley Cup finals ever. Both teams didn't want to give up an inch. Game 7 ended in 3-2.

I met Mike Richter in Lake Placid NY in 2007. My wife did the IronMan race and Richter did it too. I have a picture of he and I, arm in arm in a parking lot. Great guy.

I miss these guys. What a great team this was.

Loved those 90s Messier era teams. Not only the 94 squad either. In 92 they won the Presidents Trophy and Leetch won the Norris Trophy, 96 with the awesome Verbeek-Messier tandem where Mess scored the most goals of his entire career, and in 97 we had a deep run with 2 Gretzky playoff hat tricks and Leetch won his 2nd Norris Trophy. Lots of great, fun teams from 92-97!

Two of my favorite goalies. Mike and Glenn. Mike was great and Glenn was the insurance policy. One of the best tandems of all time in my opinion.

“ Hey man , we’re gonna be fine . If it wasn’t so hard it wouldn’t be so much fun when we do it “ - Kevin Lowe’s words to his speechless team during the first of what would be two intermissions in the locker room when the Rangers were heading into OT after Zelepukin only a few moments earlier had just tied the game 1 - 1 with 7 seconds to go in the 3rd. That’s leadership . That’s confidence . That’s a veteran presence . That’s how it’s done. They don’t make them like that anymore.

That was a great playoff year, maybe my favorite of all time…also makes me think about how great those 80s Oilers teams were, they provided a lot of seed stock for great teams of the 90s, Kings and Rangers, etc.

Love em both. They are the Laurel and Hardy of the Ranger team of that time and a BIG part of what won us the ultimate prize.

Crazy how Healey took a backup role after reaching the conference finals with the islanders the year before and beating the two time champion penguins.

Why couldn't this interview continue for another, let's say, hour? These are two of the most well-spoken, intelligent, humurous guys you can find anywhere who just happened to be the goalie tandem for the '94 Stanley Cup Champs. This was great.

Imagine being with these 2 guys in the locker room before a game 7? no stress..... If I had guys like these in my office, I would not have suffered a burnout 5 yrs ago. Why are these types of people only in sports?

Leetch credits Keenan for making him a better player so he hardly "whined" about him. Neilson was a pussy, they needed Keenan to kick them in the ass. That's what the Mets need, they've had too many "buddy" managers. As good as Keenan was he wasn't without his faults. Benching Leetch in the playoffs was a really stupid move. Pulling Richter Game 4 etc. but at the end of the day he got the job done.

Keenan was the Giuliani of Ny coaches

@@slapshot68 What fake news? Glenn Healy (goalie on the '93-'94 Ranger team) told that story on Bob McCown's Sports Radio show (The FAN 590 Toronto) around 2016, saying that Roger liked to match lines and Messier didn't like the fact he was NOT getting the ice team he wanted, and was NOT getting matched up against the other team's best players. He complained to senior management, and Roger ended up getting fired. Messier WAS friends with Keenan, going back to the '87 Canada Cup Series, and perhaps even before that. They later hooked up together (disastrously) in Vancouver. Roger Neilson was a good coach (20+ yrs in NHL) and a smart hockey guy, getting to the finals once, I believe. Keenan won exactly 1 Cup.

Richter sporting a beard!

Bugs me for whatever reason but when they honor ex players...could you at least get them the proper era jersey? The 1994 Rangers had the classic collar not that red ring, and the striping on the arms and bottom of the jersey was different. Those two deserve at least their true jerseys to wear at functions

The 1994 Finals is a stark reminder to me that nice guys finish last. It doesn't matter how hard you work, it's about what you're willing to do to another team's players in order to win. It's one thing if you're both in a puck battle and someone gets hurt as a result, but when some guy is crawling to the bench because he's already injured, if you're first thought is, "I'm going to chop at this guy and injure him some more," that's not a hockey play. It's embarrassing to the game. And then Mark Messier came to Vancouver and tarnished his reputation further by demolishing the team and then suing them on the way out. Greatest captain in NHL history? Because he deliberately injured the captain of another team in the Finals after winning 5 already? There's being competitive, and there's being an embarrassment to the game. I'll never look at hockey the same way again because we all know what happened in 1994 and it's been all downhill ever since. Looks like the Rangers are working on a new curse.

Heels is a funny dude

I love the fact that ranger fans point to this team as their greatest moment The fact is it was a rented team most players only played 1 or 2 seasons with the rangers. Hell the coach left after 1 season . What a joke 79 years 1 Stanley cup and they had to buy it.

Just a tip from someone (a Stars fan) who is neutral to NY sports rivalries: Nobody cares about your old dynasty or about the Islanders.
