Matteau! Matteau! Matteau!

Today marks the 15th Anniversary of the Stephane Matteau Game 7 double overtime winner against the Devils in the 1994 Eastern Conference Finals and Newyorkrangers.com continues their series on the Rangers 1994 Stanley Cup by looking at that historic goal...

"...Stephane Matteau, who had won Game 3 of the series with a double-OT goal, swooped in and beat Scott Niedermeyer to the loose puck. Matteau then carried the puck behind the Devils’ cage and emerged on the other side, where defenseman Slava Fetisov was charging towards him.

Matteau proceeded to put a wraparound shot off Brodeur’s stick and over the goal line at 4:24 of the second overtime to set off a wild celebration, both on the ice and in the stands at MSG.

2-1 victory in Game 7 for the Rangers! 4-3 series win for the Rangers!

Matteau! Matteau! Matteau!"




...i still get goose bumps.
