I wasn't much younger than you when the Avs won... 2001, so I was like 16. I remember I had to work that night so I had my dad record the game (Yeah, back with a blank VHS tape on the VCR ). Luckily this was before the internet was super prevalent so I made it through the night not knowing who won. When I walked in the door to our house after my shift, I came in yelling, "SHUT UP!!! DON'T SAY ANYTHING!!!" then took the tape and watched it as if it was live. I remember unabashedly crying - a 16 year old kid - as I watched Joe hand Ray the Cup.

Oh man, I have every win from 1998 on tape at my parents house, assuming my mom didn't throw them out. I need to get a converter and get those in digital form. 2002 I was such a dork, my parents didn't have cable and while I got CBC, it wasn't a great picture like ABC was. So I had my girlfriend record the CBC version at her house and I got the ABC feed at mine. lol Probably still have those somewhere too.

Yeah I can't imagine trying to not find out a score these days. internet, smart phones and just media in general, you can't escape it.

Carcillo's suspension reduced to 6 games, will play in game 4, if needed. What do you all think of this? Was it pre-planned that if they made the finals they would reduce the suspension? Is it because he's an ex King?

Going to youtube and looking for Sabres Stanley Cup videos always leads to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vF_LRVuhNa4

Still hurts.

I don't think it has anything to do with him being an ex King -- he never made enough of an impact with LA for that to matter. I think it just has more to do with Bettman kind of knowing that Carcillo might not even be used, eligible or not, so he'll let him be part of the team if they win the Cup, as opposed to still being suspended.

2. The goal being scored and then an explanation from the league on why the goal counted. Short list

[aeroshady]

Super excited for tonight!! I think game 1 is more important for the Rangers!

[HallowBillies7]

So what celebs will we see in the crowd tonight? I'm hoping we see Margot Robbie when the series goes back to NY. God she's so hot lol.

[UCFish]

Will Ferrell and Beckham will probably be there

I've never seen him at a game (doesn't mean anything) but I do know he's a huge fan and is good friends with Kopitar.

[scrock25]

Go Rangers!

[dmbetc]

Just ran into Will Ferrell, literally.

I just saw this. If needed, Sarah? There has to be 4 games.

[JRS1386]

I think she means if Carbomb is needed. Which he probably won't be.

Let's go ice cracking and everyone falling in!

[DMBluedevils]

Intense start.

[thebridge15]
