@Sabres de Buffalo

Le but controversé de Brett Hull en triple prolongation pour la Coupe Stanley de 1999 mérite un retour en arrière profond



Lors du sixième match de la finale de la Coupe Stanley de 1999, les Sabres de Buffalo ont accueilli les Stars de Dallas et personne ne savait combien de temps ils allaient passer ou à quel point l’arrivée serait controversée. Les deux équipes visaient la première coupe Stanley de leur franchise. Les deux équipes avaient l’un des meilleurs gardiens de but de la ligue dans leur filet. Mais un seul côté avait Brett Hull. Il était la dernière pièce d’une métamorphose massive que les Stars avaient subie depuis leur arrivée à Dallas quelques saisons plus tôt. Avec Mike Modano, Jere Lehtinen et Joe Nieuwendyk, Hull était en bonne compagnie pour marquer des buts. Mais ce soir, et toute cette série, c’était plus difficile en luge grâce à Dominik Hasek. Cela ne veut pas dire que tout s’est bien passé pour le Dominator; Hasek ne serait tout simplement pas secoué, quelles que soient les armes auxquelles il était confronté. En dehors du deuxième match, il accordait moins de deux buts par match. Le problème, c’est que son offensive a dû faire face à un test tout aussi difficile en essayant de faire passer les rondelles devant Belfour. Ainsi, en triple prolongation, toujours à égalité 1-1, Hull nous a donné un moment de l’histoire qui est toujours conservé par les deux franchises – juste pour des raisons polaires opposées.

    “No goal” was EVERYWHERE. I probably still have a T-shirt or two buried in my closet

    And then came after the afterparty at the house of Pantera drummer Vinnie Paul where someone (various people quote various team members) chucked the Stanley Cup off the second storey balcony towards the pool and missed

    Im a Flyers fan and watched many Playoff battles with the Sabres and L.Ruff but i was really rooting for them…Buffalo winning would be so much better for Hockey.

    I miss watching the late 90’s to early 00’s Dallas Stars. They were so stacked and loaded.

    What is it with Buffalo sports teams and heartbreaking losses to Dallas?

  13. Roger

    Let’s be honest, if it weren’t for the brilliance of Dominik Hasek, stars win this in a sweep, this was their peak, they defeated Avalanche who had Roy, Forsberg & Sakic, they were taking Buffalo.

    Sabres fans, pause at 8:25. READ IT. Also, the explanation is clear as day in the last few minutes of the video. Hull shot it, collected his own rebound, and scored. Sucks to lose a Cup that way, but it is what it is. It's been 23 years. Shut up and stop crying about it.

    After the goal was scored I just turned off the TV thinking that's it and it isn't worth watching our opponents celebrate. I didn't know about the No Goal until I went to work on the following Monday.

  16. The Black Sheep

    You should make a video like that of the 2004 stanley cup when calagary flames score the winning goal that nonbody saw and game continue and tampa bay score the winning goal

  18. David Lajon

    Players who HAD POSESSION were allowed to have their skates in the crease. END OF DISCUSSION.

  20. Kevin Green

    His foot was in the bleeping crease…that is all. 12:33 on the film…look at the overhead shot. Hull won a cup with my beloved Wings in 2002 but this one was bogus…

  22. baeps

    Only controversial to people that didn't know the actual rules.

  24. Brian Lara

    That goal was bullshit. It was such a blown call the league changed the rule the next season. But Buffalo got hosed. Hasek deserved better.

  26. Re207

    Like that you guys took a few moments after the fact to discuss the controversial ending

    This game has a special place in my heart. I was 6 years old and is one of the most prominent memories memories i have of my father. He and I would watch hockey from the time I was born and became , by far , my favorite sport. As a young Canadian boy, I was enthralled by the goalies. I loved Dominik Hasek and practically worshiped him as an idol, he was likely the main reason i became a goaltender. I remember watching the first 2 periods of this game, but the game itself is a blur. Of course, since overtime was going to run the game so late, I fell asleep and my parents likely put me to bed sometime between the end of regulation and the first OT. I woke up the next morning, asking my dad who won ( hoping to god the Sabres did). He told me the stars won in OT and that he thinks the skate was in the crease. I was upset for a moment but I remember listening to my dad talk about how shocked he was that the goal counted, and I hung on every word. My father died a year later. It was his last Stanley cup series, the last playoff goal he every witnessed.

    Should hav let the Supreme Court decide the gm like they did with the 2000 election

    way too much irrelevant context in this video. just break down the play itself, no need to go all the way back to the early 90s to set context, no need to recap the entire series

    I guess you didn't ask any of the Dallas players from way back whether they considered meeting the Oilers in the first round to be any kind of walk-over. They were no longer a flashy team, but they still had the winning DNA for playoff intensity, and one of the greatest lunch-bucket mentalities of all time. Some of those series were so physical that the commentators at the end of the series basically said that both teams had lost, because half the winning team was either in the infirmary, or ought to have been.

    Hatcher was a beast when he caught up to the puck, which wasn't that often, unless he stood in the blue paint beside Belfour and waited for the puck to come to him. What made Hatcher a superstar in the playoffs was that the ice in Dallas turned into a giant slushy for the post-season, every year, right on cue. Hatcher would never have allowed a trade anywhere else. The slushy ice suited him all the way down to his hip waders.

    The other problem for the Oilers was that every series—they played regularly in the first round due to some cursed star—Hitchcock finally out-coached them somewhere around the third period of game six, and it was almost always Modano suddenly finding an extra gear into a clever gap that broke parity.

    On better ice, Hatcher couldn't really keep up. So it was extremely frustrating to see Hatcher play like an all-star in Dallas in the playoffs, for every home game, year after year, on ice that wasn't entirely ice-like. Meanwhile, back in that era, pretty much everyone agreed that Edmonton had the best ice in the league—and so they had built a team designed to forecheck like battering rams shot out of rail guns, rather than wrestle in the slush, which is the curse you constantly suffered if you drew Dallas as your first-round opponent.

    Home not-exactly-ice left a very sour memory for me about that Dallas era. Far more than the Hull goal.

    Buffalo's sports curses are the Braves (now Clippers) bolting for San Diego and later Los Angeles, the Bills' four straight Super Bowl loses, O.J.'s numerous crimes and of course, this one in the '99 Cup finals.
