What were the best stanley cup finals?

Question

over the years there have been good Stanley Cup Finals. Etc Hurricanes and Oilers, Penguins and Red Wings. What were the best ever?

Answer 1

1994 Rangers - Canucks

1997 Wings - Flyers

1999 Stars - Sabres

2008 Wings - Penguins

Those are my favs anyway.

Answer 2

I have to say Detroit/Philly in '97. It was my first year watching hockey, my home town won the cup, and although I didn't fully comprehend it, it was a great moment for Stevie Y. Looking back and watching those games brings back memories. Although, in '02 they actually won on my birthday and that was pretty cool too.

Answer 3

as my red wings fan in me:this years game 6,5

as the lightning an, all of the 2003-2004 season's ending!

Answer 4

the best cup finals ive seen were Calgary vs Tampa, the teams were very even and the hockey was intense. with iginla and lacavalier fighting, amazing goaltending by bulin and kipper 7 games with tampa being down 2 to 3 in caltown winning 6 and 7. were the best cup finals ive seen.

anyone who says that this years final is better is a moron your just fans of the teams not looking at the series from a far in order for a series tobe good you need 2 even teams this year detroit took crosby to hockey school this wasnt a SERIES!! your either fnas of one of the 2 or living in the moment.

Answer 5

1987 Finals - Edmonton Oilers vs. Philadelphia Flyers

With a team loaded with talent - Gretzky, Messier, Anderson, Coffey, Kurri and many many more, Ron Hextall almost single handedly willed the Flyers to victory.  Unfortunately for us Flyers fans the talent and Philly injuries were too much to overcome as one of the NHL's most talented teams ever, The Oilers, eventually won.  All you need to know is the goalie of the losing team won the Conn Smythe Trophy in an era that included Gretky, Messier and Coffey on the winning team.

Answer 6

Avalanche Devils

Answer 7

I wasn't a fan at the time, but I would say the '94 series with the Canucks and Rangers as well as the '01 series featuring the Devils and Avs rank up there as the top two.

Answer 8

Rangers/Canucks come to mind.

Answer 9

avs and devils

oiles canes

pens wings

Answer 10

Well, I know I'll be biased being a Wings fan, but I have to go with the '97 Finals against Philly.  There was nothing sweeter than McCarty's goal, and then see Stevie Y raise the cup after 40 some odd years of futility. :)

Answer 11

Pens Wings

Answer 12

any Toronto/Montreal final

or Toronto/Detroit final

or any orignal six matchup
