That Sakic calls for Bourque as soon as he touches the cup, doesn't even lift it and hands it straight to him, as if it's his only concern in that moment, gets me every time.
It's because he never win a cup until that time with the avalanche
Class
Hector Rodriguez I don’t know about that. They would be better off making a movie about the success of the 2017 golden knights, just so they can show my caps winning it all
The very rare Top 10 list that actually gets it right! As a 45-year Leafs fan I am still happy to admit that Bourque hoisting the cup may be my all time favourite pro sports moment.
the entire season was about getting ray the cup. sakic told the team they have to finish first and guarantee home ice advantage. they won the presidents trophy, sakic was the mvp and he finished second in points to jagr with 54 goals and 118 points. it was a really really special season.
Seeing Bourque's son crying like that watching his dad lift the cup brings a tear to my eye.
That was such an awesome moment.
Agreed
I still get chills from the Ray Bourque one and I'm not even an Avalanche fan
To me, one of the best calls in NHL history.
I'm a wings fan and that moment gave me chills lol
Wings fan here as well. It was awesome to watch.
Its not about the team, its about player.
with a baseball bat
What a captain Sakic was. Not even an Avalanche fan but the way he hands it to bourque was amazing. Not caring for himself but his team and assistant captain. Good leader
It helps he already lifted a cup but yeah...
#GoAvzGo
Ya Joe was a class act. A true captain.
Wings fan [all dat needs 2 b said] ... but i wil always giv props 2 Joe in dis moment ...
Wings fans too. Yzerman and Sakic are my two favorite players/captains.
Oh man.. watching again how Ovie throws the Cup over his head you can truly see the effort he has put into this game. I love this sport. ❤️
I'm a Bruins fan and I couldn't be happier, he plays hard all the time and definitely deserved to win a cup.
Was so awesome to see it. Should've been #1 imo
Sorry but I’m not Ovi fan go a head and dislike cause I’m Crosby fan
@@PlyrMava. not even close. Not even top 10 all time, just like Ovi himself.
@@MrYouarethecancer its definitely top 10 for how long he waited to get the cup and just the way he hoisted it was so special. Don't be a hater...
As a lifelong CAPS fan, I'll forever tear up and get goosebumps watching that. I'm so grateful to have witnessed this and couldn't be more proud of our captain. He will go down as the greatest pure goal scorer of all time and it warms my heart that he has a cup now.
Even as a Knights fan I cant be upset about that series. The Caps were simply the better team, and Ovechkin was long over due for the cup.
After 22 years,RAYMOND BOURQUE
“Alex Ovechkin,it’s your honor.Come on up.”
“Captain Mark Messier,come lift the Stanley Cup”
“Steve Yzerman,Lets do it again”
Those situations get me every time.They will last a lifetime.
And add one more legendary call to the list:
"St. Louis has been waiting a LONG time for this moment...Alex Pietrangelo, come get the Stanley Cup."
every rangers fan still remember that messier "evil laughter" when hoisting the cup 😆
Niedermayer to Niedermayer is my second fave after the Bourque one
The noteworthy call for the kings first cup happened at the end of the game not during the celebration so it didn’t even get an honorable mention, yet as a franchise, they had similar droughts to St. Louis and Washington they were just first to win it. St. Louis should’ve been an honorable mention as well although I don’t remember the celebration as much as I remember them winning.
Bettman has a gift for saying exactly the right thing to make the moment more magical
As a Boston fan I cried when Sakic went straight to ray. He became one of the most respected players in my eyes.
Yes! Signing off, a long suffering Caps fan till 2018
And Joe Sakic, a true gentleman and a true leader. One of the greatest of all time
It got forgotten because of Vladdy in 1998, but Yzerman giving the Cup to Igor Larionov and Slava Fetisov in 1997 was an incredible moment. I loved that he recognized everything they had done in hockey, even it wasn't all in the NHL. Plus that ended Detroit's drought, so the Joe was just insane.
Greatest day in my life other than my kids. I cried like a baby.
And after twenty-two years...RAYMOND BOURQUE
😥😭
Best moment ever..took him 22 years but it was a great wait
Took vladimir Konstantinov his life
I haven’t seen this yet, please tell me that’s #1.
And, of course it was.
I'm not crying, I just have a "after 22 years Raymond Bourque" in my eye
#GoAvsGo
Now you have this years cup. Congratulations
Its hard to beat Raymond Bourque, seeing a big guy like that fight back tears and then his son bawling next to him is such a tear jerker.
As a lifelong Wings fan that witnessed the Wings-Avs rivalry I wish we were number one. The 98 Cup was really special and a great moment. But I have to respect what Sakic did. Not even bothering to hoist and letting Bourque be the first to do so is one of the classiest moves in sports history.
As a lifelong avs fan second looks good on you guys
Facts
Yep, some things transcend. Hockey comes first before our teams
@@leohmusic8676 lol 3 cups to our 11
Yeah i wouldve swapped the two but both absolute chilling moments.
SportsNet, thanks for including Gary Thorne’s call on the last one. It was an amazing moment but he made it legendary and the clip wouldn’t be the same without his commentary.
He was the best. His calls always got me so hyped even if it was a team I don’t like. Doc is great, not taking anything away from him but for nationally televised games Thorne was the best ever
Gary Thorne was the best. Wish he came back when nhl went back to espn
@@ericbrewerguitar1499 and while he was good as an MLB announcer, the NHL is really where he shined
The pass of the cup from Sakic to Bourque always brings a tear to my eye
"And after 22 years, RAYMOND BOURQUE!" Will never, *never* not make me tear up. Can't stand Boston, and growing up in Anchorage, AK I was of course a Devil's fan from like 96-02 primarily because of Scotty Gomez. But I remember even at only 8 years old when the Avs beat them for the cup, I still was able to grasp and respect that Bourque had earned it, even if it meant beating the Devil's to get it. And I sobbed as a little kid when Sakic passed it to him. Then my parents cried when they thought I was crying so hard from being sad the Devil's lost until I told them it was "all for Ray".
All great moments in hockey history. As a bruins fan I was so happy to see Chara lift the cup the highest it’s ever been lifted, the emotion from Ovechkin makes it all worth it, and joe Sakic, what sportsmanship. Man I love this sport.
And it's reasons like this why Joe Sakic is and will always be my favorite hockey player of all time. Pure Canadian class act!
As an Avalanche fan I love watching that hand off to Raymond Bourque, brings a tear to my eye every time
There is just something about the Bourque winning, not sure if it the whole build up or the way Sakic buts Bourque ahead of everyone else, classy and unforgetable moment indeed
#GOAVSGO
Lovin the name 👍🏼
That's what happens when you have a true leader in Joe Sakic
Bourque, Lanny McDonald, Marian Hossa, all just wonderful moments.
Jesus christ i'm a grown man and i almost cry to Konstantinov and Red Wings... Just so great for the whole team and especially for the Soviets who came to NHL and i'm glad Konstantinov got that chance to be there on the ice dispute his injury.. Great video
The Sakic to Borque handoff and the accompanying call - instant chills.
Not an Avalanche fan, that night Sakic won my heart. What a gentleman.
Many years latter and seeing it 1000 times. As an Avs fan, I still get chills. Every single time.
Still brings tears to my eyes watching bourque get his cup 20 years later
The best trophy in all sports, bar none. The legends that have hoisted the cup will live forever in it. : )
No NFL, NBA or MLB will ever compare to the Stanley cup when it comes to emotion and the emotional celebrations.
@@djlee0721 It's, by far, the hardest, most grueling path that players have to go through to raise the cup. Which has 100+ years of history tied to it.
@@djlee0721 it's TRUE. The Stanley cup and the grey cup are trophies. The other leagues have some little toys that look stupid.
@@rally_chronicles
Especially basketball. "The NBA playoff champions". Just doesn't have the pizzazz of the other major sports, especially the presentation of the Stanley Cup. It's pure unbridled joy.
I’m not crying I swear it’s just allergies
Eugene Mis It's more disgraceful to not cry.
I was there when Scott Niedermayer passed the Cup to his brother Rob. That was truly a special moment. But not even that compares to the moment when Ray Bourque finally got to raise Stanley. One of the greatest moments in the history of sports. Class move by Joe Sakic. Wasted no time to make sure Ray got his moment.
The Ray Bourque handoff is so emotionally powerful. Then seeing his son (I’m assuming) crying for his dad! Whew!
I was lucky to have seen Ray Bourque raise that cup and even though he had to leave Boston to get it done, it still chokes me up. One of my all time favorites
Ovechkin's cup was where men cried
It's true I cried like a baby 😭🤣
And Bourque’s was where everyone cried.
I watched it on a school field trip wish it was with my dad
Legends cried when Ray Bourque hoisted his.
Selanne for me.
That time Bourque hoists the cup brings tears to my eyes and I've only just started watching hockey 2 years ago.
Ovi lifting up the cup is my favourite moment in sports history!
@@voizes325 Me three.
as a spots fan we have been lucky since 2007 to see peyton manning lift 2 super bowl trophies a rod win a world series as well as carlos beltran lebron lift 3 championship trophies and now finally ovy lift the cup....it would of been a shame if these 5 men didnt win in their respective sports with all they have given to the game...glad I could be apart of it..been a great 11 years...would of felt weird without calling them champions, you know?
Same here
yup
Then you have a very sad sports history
After 21 years, I still get goosebumps watching Steve hand the Cup to Vladdy.
What software did you use to edit out all the booing?
stfu
@@hucz Lol why you mad?
@@poejavelski148 just felt like telling you to stfu
@@hucz Aight
Nuks fans tossing garbage and booing loudly during that entire Stanley Cup presentation was such a joke. At least they cheered for Tim Thomas when he was presented the Smythe.
i still remember that night the Av's won the stanley cup and seeing Ray Bourque hoist the cup. brings a tear to my eye every time i see it. GO AVS!!!
I cried when the Alex Ovechkin raised it. I was so happy for him
Gavin Ryan same here. i’m a hawks fan but i’ve been waiting my whole life for OVI to win.
You can legit feel his emotion through the screen. I tear up every time. That and Bourque, best cup raise ever.
@@RoamHockey capitals will never win another cup
Even as a pens fan i really was so happy for him
@@user-wp9mb5yq5e God, even as a Blues/Knights fan. I got chills hearing that scream of pure joy when Ovi lifted the cup.
Goosebumps.
Bourque lifting the Cup is my fave moment ever and I'm a Leafs fan.
Congrats
Well its not like you have ever been alive for any great Leafs moments
What a class act Burnaby Joe is... nice gesture.. great leader. Ovies.moment is my favorite... so much emotion when he raises it. I got chills
Lifelong bruins fan and ray bourque finally getting the cup still gives me chills. It’s more exciting than the bruins win in Vancouver.
Teemu should have at least been an honorable mention!
Why because your a ducks fan lmao
Agreed (Sharks fan)
Also agree, that was huge. Teemu's one of the best.
Hossa, with his 1st Cup after 3 finals appearance in row, too.
As a Kings fan I agree. But I think it’s just Captains. But I will say Niedermeyer shouldn’t have been on there. Already had 2 cups before this one and he handed it to his brother before Teemu which was complete crap. Either Teemu or Pronger should have got it before Rob.
The Handoff still gives me chills. I was 16 years old and knew I'd forever be an Avs fan after that season.
congrats
congrats again!
Congrats again, again
Not even a Caps fan but just the combination of Ovi lifting the cup, the scream, and the music swell, gives me chills every time.
Sakic to Bourque, greatest assist of all time!
And I thought Forsberg was the one to be the best at dishing…
I love how Brind’Amour doesn’t wait for Bettman to hand him the Cup haha
Ovi holding the cup with backstrom is a memory that will last a lifetime. Even though they’re not done yet.😏
Ugh, they lost... still got memories from 2018, though :)
#GoAvsgo
Howling Burd19 Canes fan here in peace. Y'all played hard that series and it was enjoyable to watch, even though tensions got real high at certain points (Boston was 97 times worse if it makes you feel better).
And I think I speak for many Canes fans here when I say that I loved seeing Ovi with the cup. I don't think I've ever seen that much intense joy from a captain even before actually receiving the trophy in any sport ever.
Nick Sojka the biggest issue with that series is I believe YOU guys played your asses off (no seriously, Carolina’s got a very young, energetic, and talented squad), while I feel like we did not. Ovechkin, Backstrom, and Carlson truly showed up, while nobody else did. If you want your team to win the whole thing, EVERY single player has to show up. And in the 2018 Playoffs, every Caps player did show up, but in this year’s Quarterfinals, only a couple did.
But we can absolutely both agree Boston is the definition of cancer, and it was very beautiful seeing Marchand crying xD
Nick Sojka I think the canes caps Series was the ecf this lady year. I didn’t sweat the loss then and I don’t now. I don’t mind losing to great teams, it’s losing to bums like they did all those years that bugged me
Damn they really had the Remember the Titans-type music playing right as Ovi lifts the cup. Who's cuttin onions in here?
As a Detroit fan watching Vladdy hold the cup makes me tear up every time
SAMCRO Till I Die that's cuz you're a baby
The legendary sakic to bourque handoff never gets old 🙌
Joe sakic is why I watch hockey.... Amazing that the Detroit Colorado rivalry had two of the best leaders and players to take the ice... Now they are two if of the best gms building there former teams to stardom.... Just amazing
Wings fan for all my life. The back to back cups will forever be etched in my memory (along with the 02 and 08 cups). They won the second cup in a row for konstantinov and that always makes me tear up.
BUT, when ovi won the cup.. I could barely hold back my tears.. just the way he was screaming at the top of his lungs when he was going to get the cup from bettman.. that folks is PURE happiness.. ecstasy if you will.. so emotional.
The Ovi raise would be the GOAT to me (I'm 100% biased), if not for the fact that the moment immediately following that one was Ovi helping Backstrom raise the cup with his broken hand and the two of them taking the lap together... _THAT_ was the GOAT, imo.
And the chick flashing behind the net. That was GOAT too
That primal roar from him got me in tears everytime I watch it. That's emotion as real as it can get: all the frustrations, the heartaches, the dissapointments turninto pure happiness and vindication.
Absolute iconic moment in NHL history.
The best part is after Ray Bourque raises the cup the cameras pan to his kids Ryan and Chris and Ryan’s just crying is eyes out lol. I’ve watched both his sons suit up for the Hershey Bears together and play against each other in Hershey and Ray has been at a few games, awesome to see the family all together.
I remember seeing Bourque raising that cup, it was so amazing. The Bruins were always so close to winning it all. What a way for him to go out.
Yea we just ran into a Mario Pitt team and a Stacked Oilers team in the late 80's early 90's. Then the Bruins couldn't advance past the second round the rest of Ray's Bruin career.
These are all great moments to share! This is why I love hockey !
Colorado got it done for you Ray Bourque! What a moment, and amazing way to end your career on top. Super Joe with the handoff! Hope to have the Cup back in Denver real soon with Nathan Mackinnon on duty #GoAvsGo #GoAvsGo #GoAvsGo
Your wish has been granted! GO AVS!
Not only was your wish granted, the handoff was eloquently recreated when Landy handed it off to EJ, who if I’m not mistaken is the longest serving Avs on the current roster.
The Ray Bourque one always gets me in the feels.
I’m a Pens fan and idc what anyone says I’m so glad Ovi got a cup.
I still cry every time i see bourque raise the cup
Honestly, Konstantinov in the wheelchair should've been number one. Not taking anything away from Bourque or his undoubtedly great moment, he was a phenomenal player who 100% deserved a Stanley Cup. The thing is, we've seen great players go to contenders as one last ditch effort to get a Cup. It isn't anything new. Show me one other time that a team won a Cup, lost a teammate due to a horrific accident, then won it again the next year just so they could put it in his lap while he's sitting in a wheelchair. One of the greatest moments in NHL history.
You're wrong.
It wasn't one of the greatest moments in NHL history--it was THE most storybook, feel-good SPORTS CHAMPIONSHIP ENDING EVER!
Agreed!
But Ray Bourque was one of the best defencemen of all time, anyone who lived through the nineties knows how much soul, talent, and leadership he gave to the Bruins. Sure it happened to Lanny, Andreychuk, Ovechkin but they didn't have the same circumstances as Bourque because they either weren't the same caliber or had waited long enough to make it equivalent.
Can you imagine if Lidstrom with all of the individual hardware and consistent domination, but in all of his 20+ years he had never won a cup? But in his final year he would be on a team that would come back from a 3-1 deficit in the finals to win it in game 7? The Avs very likely wouldn't have won that cup without him. Plus Sakic breaking tradition made it even more special.
You would feel exactly the same way. The Wings never had their players wait 20+ years to win the cup
The underhand pass to Bourque is iconic though. Yes, the Konstantinov celebration is emotional and something else, but Yzerman raised it before he handed it off. If Yzerman took it and handed it off immediately, then yes, number 1. But Sakic passed it off to a legend, no hesitation, and let Bourque take a lap before anyone else got to touch it. That's what makes it number 1 for me.
PLUS Konstantinov previously won the cup with the team in '97. 22 years is more impactful to me than a player winning a back to back (even if he was injured during '98)
@@cdrhiggins He didn't win it back to back. He won in 1997 and suffered lifelong brain trauma due to his drunk limo driver in the off-season. He was told he'd never walk again. Ask Bourque if he'd rather have his Cup or his brain.
I'm a younger fan for the Lighting, so while I totally appreciate the Sakic and Yzerman moments, the only two of these I actually got to watch live on TV were Chara and Ovi hoisting the cup.
So for me, when Ovi raises the cup over his head, as the music swells, and the even the road Vegas crowd appreciates the moment and pops in celebration.... that one is the most special for me personally
Sakic always a class act.
Ray Bourque holding the Stanley Cup when Colorado Avalanche won in the 2000-2001 season!! Seeing them allow Bourque to carry the Cup first gave me chills and was one of the best sports moments ever!!! I cried, I was so happy to see such a graceful gesture!!!
On another note, I touched the Stanley Cup years ago at the NHL store in Manhattan. It was amazing to know I touched the cup of champions.
My opinion Ovechkin lifting the cup gave me chills . Maybe it’s the camera angle but you can feel the emotions. Must’ve been surreal
Sakic was and will continue to be the definition of a class act!
The handoff to Big ray is the best one by far. So much respect for the Colorado team and fanbase. Even though it wasnt in Boston Jersey, Colarado made it happen for the man. Awesome nothing better Ray's son in tears just starring at his dad. Priceless
7:30 "...and after 22 years: RAYMOND BOURQUE!"
Thanks for including the ABC audio for #1. It just wouldn’t quite be the greatest Cup raise ever without Gary Thorne’s call.
So happy that my team the Avalanche were able help Bourque get his long deserved cup! Of course Sakic was pure class by giving him the cup first!
That’s one of the classiest things I’ve ever seen in history! Not just sports history, no all history!!!
Ray Bourqe raising Lord Stanley's Cup and Captain Joe Sakic making sure he was the first to hoist it was just pure class. Bourqe went ou like.a teue championt
Every damn time when Ray Bourque raises the Cup, I find out that someone peels onions near me.
The feral scream Ovi let out lifting the cup will always gets me. That's constant years of frustration, shattered dreams and playoffs disappointment exorcised all at once.
Watching Sakic hand it off immediately to my favorite player ever, Bourque STILL gives me goosebumps. Man, I wish the Bs were able to win one while he wore the black and gold.
If you don't shed tears when Bourque hoists the trophy, you aren't a real NHL fan. I was 14 years old, and that night was downright legendary.
And Sakic receives the cup once again, not as a player but an incredible GM
Red Wings fan all my life. But the class act that Sakic is handing the cup to Bourque has got to be one of the top moments in hockey history ever.
I get goosebumps for every single one of them. Amazing.
Nice of you to remember thatAnderchuk also waited 22 years.
ive been a Caps fan all of my life and i cant help but cry my eyes out and raise my fists in the air when i see my captain and childhood savior raise the cup. greatest champions of all time. the handoff to Backstrom is magical aswell
As a Caps fan, I agree with the Borque being #1. But I will never tire of Ovi lifting the Cup. Being ranked #3 is appropriate and fine by me.
@@SmartDew I agree Red Wings title in 1998 deserves to be top 3, after Konstantinov was paralyzed from the horrible car accident, that moment was so touching.
Aa an Isles fan I despise the Caps, but was very happy to see Ovi win, and ironically Barry Trotz, lol
@@allsystemsgo8678 We should have paid the man his money. That's twice in a row now that he's beaten the s*** out of the Pens. And yes last year 4-2 wasnt nearly as close as indicated. The Caps proved Letangs defense is now largely swiss cheese.
I cried watching Ovi lift the Cup I am a Diehard Caps fan and have waited years for us to raise it
Fireflame626 I'm a Canes fan and I agree completely with this.
Came to see Ovi. Stayed to show respect.
Ovi gave me chills. You can feel his energy. Even though I’m a huge Pens fan that one should have been number one.
The beauty of the Stanley Cup is to see it raised and watch the strong display of emotions. It's something that sadly we don't see in the Super Bowl, World Series, or NBA Championships, as the players or owners are barraged with interviews and speeches. C'mon, it's not a Grammy award!
My personal all-time favourite was in 2010 when Jonathan Toews handed the Cup to Marián Hossa after being in the Finals three consecutive seasons with three different teams.
not really tho ...Hossa was chasing cups with other teams to only fially win in chi..Ray stayed his whole career with Bos and they only traded him for to a contender to win. Hossa was just sigining 1 year deals with top teams till he won
And he was only 30.. lol not 15-20 seasons in.. nice gesture though forsure
How about that moment when Kimmo Timonen gets it in his hands in 2015? Love it.
One of the classiest things in sports ...sakic takes it and gives it to bourque without raising ot himself. Hats off
How is Toews not on here even once? Atleast 2015 should’ve been on here, he handed Timmo the cup for crying out loud.
Chicago winning in 2010 should've been an honorable mention at least. You guys ended a 49 year drought and Hossa finally got to hoist it up after it eluding him the previous two seasons. That 2010 cup win was a great story all around. I'm a habs fan but the Blackhawks have always held a special place in my heart and watching them win in 2010 felt like watching the Habs win in 1993.
Brind'amour is my top pick, his emotion is unmatched.
I can remember watching Joe hand that off to Ray when I was a boy staying up past my bedtime to watch the cup finals. Good times!
As a Sabres and Wings fan. Idc how much Detroit and the avalanche hated each other.... The moment Raymond Borque raised the cup I cried. The greatest Stanley Cup celebration and top 10 maybe even top 5 moments in the NHL. Sakic, Yzerman, Messier, Leumiux were some of the greatest captains. Sakic will forever be known as the captain who put his desire to raise the cup first, aside, for a man who deserved the cup more than anyone else in the NHL at the time. I still cry watching his family cry, for that out to tell you how much that moment meant not only to Ray, but his family. That is a family who put all their needs second to their father/husband to fulfill his dream. Absolutely spine chilling when you think about it. Hockey in the 90's and 2000's are some of the best moments I was blessed to witness growing up. I was 8 years old crying watching Ray lift that cup. That's how much of a impact that moment hit us in majority of our lives.
Now you can add Saint Louis Blues 🏒🎶. Gloria
Please say St Louis. Saint Louis just doesn't look right
Not even close to one of the top raises of all time. Sorry. It was nice to watch, but it doesn't make the list.
@@bookworm3283 are you kidding me?
@@abstractassassin8767 not even a little bit. The raises are about the players, not the organization. There was no one on the Blues that was considered one of the best in the world who it just wouldn't be right for them to not be on the cup. There was no one who had struggled away for 20 years and they finally got it on their last chance. I was happy to see them win a cup finally, but there was no single raise on that team worthy of this list. Sorry!
#3 and #1! Goosebumps every time.
Ove! Ove! Ove! Ove! Ove!
I love the Caps one. The emotion felt from Ove was incredible! He deserves it!
As a blackhawks fan, I must say seeing Joe Sakic immediately turn to Ray and hand him the the cup still gives me chills.
How can you not love the flyers winning it. The fans are just like “we won it all” and go take the Stanley cup like they owned it. Love it.
Nothing can every top Ray bourque lifting the cup
ovechkin unable to compete in the olympics, see's his national team win the olympic medal. its no secret the olympic gold is the highest achievement for russian hockey. that same season he wins the cup, the pure emotion out of him is powerful. just like brind'amor. its really special.
THey're all great...Ovie looked like the weight of the world was lifted off his shoulder...amazing stuff... of course Bourque's always get me
