By rule it shouldn't have been a goal, but let's be real – if they called it back and the Sabres ended up winning the Cup, for the last 25 years hockey fans everywhere would be complaining WAY more about the call than the amount of complaining we've actually gotten
I remember how tired I was that night, but I was also had a ton of energy from being angry, and the NHL enforced that rule that season mostly as they always had, bottom line, if you skate was in the crease, the goal didn't count, simple as that, and then decide that because a celebration went on, to not overturn it. I guarantee if the goal had happened at any other time in the game, other than overtime then they would have disallowed it. It was a stupid rule, but it had been enforced all the while, so it should have been enforced then.

I don't think that goal was aloud
I want nothing more than for Lindy Ruff to be the one to bring a trophy to Buffalo this go-around 😭would be so poetic.
Thank you 98-99 Sabres for all the great childhood memories. Hockey has never been as great. Though the Briere and Drury years were pretty great too.
Buffalo got screwed. They were calling this same play as a no-goal all year long.
Great video!
Hull kicking the puck to his stick shows control. I agree. And as much as I wanted Buffalo to win, it's a good call.
I farted
This is the type of history I need
Never been a fan of Gary Bettman.
Buck Fuffalo
The rule was changing the next season even before this goal
I'll never understand what's controversial about this. He gets his own rebound off Hasek (maintaining possession) and acores.
Stupidity at the finest. That rule was beyond bad
13:30, ariel helwani?
Sabres were so robbed
They really missed an opportunity to change the name from North Stars to Lone Stars.
Stars works, but it sounds unoriginal, you just shortened the name. Lone Stars you would’ve kept the same theme of using a state motto.
When Hockey was great! Now its trash..Lost interest over 15 years! oi Whalers!

Remember watching this game with my dad huge sabres fans … No goal😭
Buffalo sports is just haunted. Everytime we lose they change a rule. It's mind boggling how we get fucked non stop raw
