We watched the game on big screens at the Bisons baseball stadium. 2 things I remember most: 1) after the "no goal" was "not scored", how quick the ice was cleared and determined over. 2) the exodus of such a large group of people out from the ballpark that was soooooo quiet. - Lindy, best to you. You are classy and a class man. Thanks for coaching a team that made so many everlasting memories! Thanks for posting this! Lets Go Sabres!
Watching this interview reinforces my faith in the game of Hockey being a Gentleman's Sport. Lindy was gonna tune the ref up after he called goal. Takes a true Gentleman to admit your reaction to a wrong may have been too much. You're an inspiration to me tonight Lindy. NO GOAL!!!!
BTW, none other than Brett Hull (then of the Dallas Stars) publicly stated at the time that he did not believe the Stars could have won Game 7, even at home in Dallas, because the Stars were too banged up and Hasek would be too tough to beat in a one-game winner-take-all contest for the Cup.
This play was turned over 100% of the time during the regular season. Yes most hated it.. but it was the rule.. UNTIL GAME 6... always felt that the NHL wanted to give a southern team a cup and they may have chosen to ignore it here (and change the rule in the offseason, part because they were going to anyway.. part to justify themselves.). I only take solace that this was game 6 and they could just have easily have scored 2 minutes later anyway.. if it was game 7.. it would have hurt much more. I still think Bettman and Co. were willing to "cook the books" as it were for the Dallas "False" Stars (sorry, I still loved the North Stars.. as such, Dallas will always be the False stars to me)
@@LarkinsDeLaMare Say what you want.. but here's a fact above all.. ALL season long.. that was a no-goal... By the rules in place at the time.. That also should have been a No goal.. Yeah, I agree it was not a good rule.. but to stop calling it at that point just is a bad look.. We don't give a rats what excuses are used... in our eyes.. the NHL wanted a southern team to win the cup and they just got it. I'm not even saying that if it was waved off like it had been all year.. that 2 minutes of game time later the stars wouldn't have scored a no-doubter... we just feel robbed. And , we've put a Hex on Dallas.... Hows that feel cowboys fans? Stars have not done much better either.
@@ronpeacock9939 say what you want the fact of the matter is that it was a goal and it counted, and all the crying in the world won’t change that fact 20 years later.
Lindy is a class act. I certainly understand and respect the "calmer perspective" that may be available having the benefit of 20 years to "cool off" and take a more measured reflection. And that's fine. HOWEVER, I can also state with the exact same "cool headed dispassionate reflection" that Bettman and the NHL absolutely, positively, 100% GOT IT WRONG when they refused to review and then disallow the goal ... and have the teams keep playing until a legitimate "good goal" was actually scored. Even IF the Sabres were not involved in that Stanley Cup Final Series and we were talking about some team Sabres fans dislike that happened to be wronged by the non-call, I can honestly say my reaction and analysis would be THE SAME ... BECAUSE YOU MUST FOLLOW THE RULE that has governed the season ALL YEAR. Period. Full stop. You CAN NOT start CHANGING THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT of a season-long rule simply because the playoffs are here. Here is what I don't care about: 1. I don't care that the players would have to keep playing if the goal were properly disallowed; 2. I don't care that Bettman, the NHL, the media announcers, or anyone would "be embarrassed" over having flooded onto the ice [erroneously] believing the Cup had been won, only to have to keep playing; 3. I don't care that Dallas had players who were hurt and fatigued and "just wanted the game to be over" ... I'm sure the Buffalo players were equally hurt and fatigued, and they wanted/were willing to keep playing; 4. I don't care that Dominik Hasek was "not interfered with" by the Dallas player's foot in the crease ILLEGALLY or that it "seemed" to "not impact" the play; 5. I don't care that -- under TODAY's rules -- there would be no problem and that the goal would unquestionably "count" ... NONE OF THOSE CONSIDERATIONS ABOVE MATTER. What I DO CARE ABOUT is fidelity to the OPERATIVE RULEBOOK IN EFFECT AT THE TIME. And according to those rules, the goal was ILLEGAL. That's all that counts -- not wjhat changed rules of the present day would hold.
Probably not. I was watching on my 13" TV in my apartment on 73 Richmond Ave because I didn't have the cash for tickets ... it was 2 am, third overtime. If you've ever played hockey, after playing for about 4 or so hours non-stop ... sometimes you're happy it's over, and you take your regrets to 67 West over a couple of beers after.
The puck was in the crease, allowing Hull or anyone to go after it...furthermore, to think that after 6 periods the refs would disallow a goal, that counted, is idiotic...

I’m still not over it 😭
I can't talk about the 1999 Finals without imposing myself with NO GOAL in the conversation.

Now that he’s back, hopefully we can create the memories that work out in our favor!
Too bad for you it was a goal. Go learn how to read so you can understand why it was a goal.
@@LarkinsDeLaMare Brett Hull (and the wimpy refs of that time) enjoy jizzsickles!!!!!!!!!
@@kevinwilliams1367 So far ....not bad!!!!!
I MISS LINDY RUFF SOOOOO MUCH! BEST HOCKEY COACH OF ALL TIME!!!!! WE SHOULD BRING HIM BACK HOME TO THE SABERS!!!!!!

nah, Hull never lost possession of the puck after his initial shot was blocked by Hasek. It was a beautiful goal.

Welcome back Lindy

No Goal!!!
Hull scored a beautiful goal. funny how y'all still crying after 20 years
I wonder what wouldve happened had that goal been scored 5 mins into the first overtime
Probably not. I was watching on my 13" TV in my apartment on 73 Richmond Ave because I didn't have the cash for tickets ... it was 2 am, third overtime. If you've ever played hockey, after playing for about 4 or so hours non-stop ... sometimes you're happy it's over, and you take your regrets to 67 West over a couple of beers after.
Love him as our assistant coach in NY
The puck was in the crease, allowing Hull or anyone to go after it...furthermore, to think that after 6 periods the refs would disallow a goal, that counted, is idiotic...
Brett hull still hears about it i guess.
Rules always seem to get changed when a Buffalo team gets screwed over!! 1999 and then the last ur NFL post season against the Cheifs SMH
cry
It should have been reviewed! This one example of Gary Bettman screwing the game of Hockey.
Straight bullishhhhhh NO GOAL BROO
it was a goal. only sludge for brains think it wasn't a goal
He seems like a nice guy but is an NHL dinosaur with his style of play
Respect the greats instead of calling them old & outdated
@@isitoveryet9525 I am not calling him that, I am just saying his system is from a game that is not being played anymore
