In honor of the 15th anniversary of the Rangers 1994 Stanley Cup, Newyorkrangers.com continues their series on the 1994 Eastern Conference Finals between the Rangers and Devils with a look at Game 3...
When the words “1994”, “Stephane Matteau”, and “double-overtime” are used in the same sentence, one inevitably thinks of Matteau’s magical goal in Game 7 of the 1994 Eastern Conference Finals that lifted the Rangers into the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time since 1979.
But that wasn’t Matteau’s only connection to double-overtime magic during that epic series against the New Jersey Devils back in ’94. In fact, on this date 15 years ago, Matteau provided the Rangers with a 2-1 series lead over the Devils when he whipped a backhand shot past Martin Brodeur at 6:13 of the second OT to give the Rangers a 3-2 victory at The Meadowlands.
...it's amazing how overlooked that goal is.
