One of the greatest NHL games ever played. Just look at the talent on the ice. Gretzky, Hull, Coffey, Yzerman, Federov, Ciccarelli....

Cup wins aside, him scoring that goal is my all time faaaaaavorite Stevie Y memory

The number of slam-dunk Hall of Famers in this game is absurd...

This might be the most legendary slapshot...ever.

one of my all-time favourite goals. i remember being 7 years old and how unexpected that goal was. the perfect shot.

This game killed me as a Blues fan

Detroit was stacked.

The brilliance of play by play of Gary Thorne is so missed these days. Notice how when Yzerman  scores the game winner he says "Score!!! Steve Yzerman, Detroit wins!".....then silence for a good 30 seconds. That is what great announcers do, allow the emotion of everything that just happened settle in with the viewers. Awesome game that was called by one of the best ever.

These old ESPN broadcasts demonstrate what we've lost and how soft the league has become. Thanks for posting this.

Doing the Lord's work uploading this piece of recent history

If Yzerman hadn't have scored that goal, the legendary Wings-Avs rivalry likely would not have been.

MacTavish rockin it old school, without a helmet.  After they made it a rule, they grandfathered it in and he was the last player to play without one.  What's even weirder is watching older games where even the goalie isn't wearing a helmet or a mask.  It's amazing any of them survived.

turned it off 1 min into the video when the youtube commercials started.

This was the first full hockey game I ever watched (live) which totally got me into hockey.

Man both of these Teams were stacked!

One of the greatest game 7's in sports history. Still brings a tear to my eyes to watch it. The wings go on to lose to Colorado and that team changes so much before the 97 season. Shanahan, Murphy, Sandstorm, Greg Johnson, Sru Grimson, and Bob Errey come in and the rest is history.

This camera guy got lucky as hell to have the angle at 2:38:03

I've seen this so many times. Other than the Stevie goal, I get the most chills at the LETS GO WINGS chant @ 1:51:37

This is more entertaining than current hockey will ever be

2:38:00 sickest view of any goal ever scored
