Jay I've been making a very similar comment on all the NHL ESPN Gary Thorne vids but how you worded it is perfect... If your a true hockey fan this music and opening credits for 90s NHL on ESPN will always have a very special place in your heart... The opening credits would get you so fired up to watch the game you felt like you were part of it.. Only Gary was ever able to do that!!
Sports intros are not what they used to be, there is too much flash nowadays and no dramatics like this intro that clearly tells a story and gets you hyped up for the next game to come
i was a HUGE rangers fan in the 90s then the columbus blue jackets came to my town i still have a soft spot for the rangers they were the team that got me watching hockey.
The NHL is finally returning to ESPN with a new 7-year deal that commences in the 2021-22 season. The deal guarantees them exclusive broadcasting rights of 4-Stanley Cup Finals between 2022 and 2028.
It may be back on ESPN, but the NHL is no longer the same league as it was in 94. Starting next season we'll also have stupid ads on jerseys and it will further ruin it for me.
@@jamessollazzo4860 If Lafayette scores and not hit the crossbar. Canucks either Bure or Linden would of ended it and won the Cup for Vancouver. It was an even series.
@@shawnjohnson4391 vancouver should of been swept, you had no business winning game 1 and by the way in game 7, lowe hit the post off a faceoff which would of made it 4-2.
@@jamessollazzo4860 Gelinas hit the side of the net open net he had in the 3rd. The score would of been 4-4 if Lafayette scores. Rangers had no business winning game 4 based on your argument either. Bure scores on that penalty shot it’s a different series. It was an even series no matter how u look at it. Each team had breaks.
If Wayne Gretzky was on that team and John Vanbiesbrouck was in net, we would’ve shut out the Canucks, 5-0 in game 7 and then Beezer wins the Conn Smythe trophy, instead of Brian Leetch. As great of a goalie as Mike Richter was, he wasn’t a very good puck handler, whereas Beezer was the same exact puck handler as Martin Brodeur, Patrick Roy, Billy Smith, Dominik Hasek, Chris Osgood, Eddie Belfour, Olaf Kolzig, Arturs Irbe, Cam Ward, Henrik Lundqvist, Ryan Miller, Jonathan Quick, Tim Thomas, Tukka Rask, Semyon Varlamov, Robin Lehner, Pekka Rinne, Matt Murray, Roberto Luongo, Ben Bishop, Marc-Andre Fleury, Jordan Binnington, Kirk McLean, Jean-Sebastian Giguere, Miikka Kiprusoff, Evgeni Nabokov, Carey Price, Jaroslav Halak, Dwayne Roloson, Ray Emery, Antti Niemi, Curtis Joseph, Mike Vernon, Kelly Hrudey, Glen Healy, Ken Dryden, Grant Fuhr, Marty Turco, Karri Lehtonen, Johan Hedberg, Chico Resch, Bernie Parent, Bill Ranford, Eddie Giacomin Igor Shesterkin (Shestyorkin), Ilya Sorokin and John Davidson.
From 1976-94, the NHL didn’t have an exclusive national U.S. broadcaster, even for the Cup Finals! In ‘88 and ‘90, the Bruins were in the Cup Finals against Edmonton (lost a combined 8 games to 1), and games were aired in New England on NESN and TV 38 with Fred Cusick and Derek Sanderson announcing.
This series to me is very similar to The Penguins and Sharks series from 2016. The scores of the games were close, but the play was not. The Penguins like The Rangers did in this series to the Canucks, did what they wanted when they wanted against San Jose in that series in 2016. Martin Jones was the only reason the series went 6 games.
R.I.P. Pat Quinn. I know you Canucks fans hate my team and all. However, as a Leafs fan, I was his teams that were the last ones to play with any heart or grit.
It's a damn shame that Pat and the Leafs of the late 90's never got a Cup. The only time that I saw the Leafs resembling something close to a championship team
Get ready folks, its reported ESPN has signed a 7 year deal the NHL beginning with 2021-'22 Season, a shared partnership with another media outlet to be named later (possibly with NBC, CBS or FOX). Perhaps some games will air on ABC again.
Turner (TBS & TNT) is the other partner in the deal. Yes games will on ABC again and ABC will be the exclusive home of both the NBA & Stanley Cup Finals in 2022 and 2024. ABC will also have the Stanley Cup Finals in 2026 and 2028. Turner will have the Stanley Cup Finals in 2023, 2025 and 2027.

Great Intro! Gary Thorne was the NHL. He is and will always be the voice of hockey. Gary was the GOAT.
Between Gary and Doc, it’s hard to decide
Bob Cole is right up there too.
Mike emerick is the greatest
For Americans. For real hockey fans, he sounds like he should be calling a Knicks/Lakers game.
@@christhornycroft3686 you aren't a real hockey fan.
Amazing intro music from ESPN, something you will NEVER forget as a die hard hockey fan. As soon as it starts, I immediately think elite 90s hockey.

These intros along with the NBA on NBC intros of the same era are what defined my early childhood in the mid to late 90's
Sports intros are not what they used to be, there is too much flash nowadays and no dramatics like this intro that clearly tells a story and gets you hyped up for the next game to come
Ютуб виновен) Раньше только по ТВ в определённое время смотришь, ждёшь прямой эфир...
Сейчас: ну не успел, запись посмотрю.
i was a HUGE rangers fan in the 90s
then the columbus blue jackets came to my town
i still have a soft spot for the rangers they were the team that got me watching hockey.
This is why I began to learn to rollerblade and play inline hockey. Watching Pavel Bure and the Vancouver Canucks take on the New York Rangers
After 17 years in the dark and on the bench.....They're back fall 2021
Wish there were more of these on RUclips

With the other 3 going to Turner (either TBS or TNT)
Wow you’re smart

@@anatfan9812 Yeah, and same would be the case if the NBA would one day hopefully return to it's rightful home of NBC for that matter too.
@@freakyfornash Even better, CBS Sports.
I for one, absolutely love those old school Canuck jerseys and am glad they use it as an alternate today.
God I miss the 90’s and this classic intro along with Gary and Bill. Take me back please.
After that Great intro there has to be one for game 7 somewhere
I remember them using "Dreams" by Van Halen for one of the game intros, I think it was Game 7? I had it on VHS waaaayyyy back in the day.
Brad Kinder nailed it
I’m an Islander fan since 95 and I get goose bumps watching this ESPN intro and knowing that the Canucks were ultimately doomed by Messier & Co.
Chilling.
so glad that they are going to air them again
It's the best Stanley cup final ever to me.
it turned out right, but it should'nt of been that tough!

My god, what a series this was...
I was 10 then I vivdly remember this cup I like Cliff Ronning he was awesome
LOL I had no idea Bill Clement was that much taller than Gary Thorne!
As long as that 54 year curse was for the rangers, 29 years have passed since this last cup for the rangers in 1994. My does time fly
What the Rangers fans went through are the current Leafs fans, they are now at 56 years with no Cup.
I'm neither a Rangers nor Canucks fan but this series ruled.
Back when hockey was good.
still is.
Two giant hockey markets starving for a Cup. Doesn't get any better than that.
This is art.

I think ESPN feed was blackout in the NYC tv market . To protect the msg network ratings
Pretty sure it was on there, as I remember it being on both channels if you had MSG too.

Best finals of my lifetime
I wish NY would have won in game 5.
The biggest mistake ESPN ever made was to get rid of hockey I never watched ESPN after that
Uh, you'll be watching it plenty once again very soon though! 😉
Fall 2021 ...set your dvr and apps

Guess we will be saying 1994

I love Gary too, but where do you put Doc Emerick? 1A and 1B
Both were great, but Thorne was better than Emrick.

@@chrisguardiano6143 Can't wait!
Life or death series. Come on ESPN. it’s not that serious.
What a time to be a kid. Get pizza and wings delivered. Get parebts approval to stay up late. And watch NHL playoffs w Gary Thorne
arent they supposed to be neutral?
they are
Pretty funny how bias espn is
not really
Canucks actually were the better team
no the Rangers were a 2x President's trophy winner
@@J.Sandhu2 but that series was pretty even on the most part
Victor Alp depends how you define "team." Cinderella versus $Goliath$
If Leetch scores in OT in Game 1 instead of clanging it off the crossbar, the Rangers would have swept the series.
What are you smoking?
