The Rangers’ victory marked the start of what is currently thirty consecutive victories in the Stanley Cup Finals for American-based teams, as the most recent Canadian team to win the Stanley Cup were the Montreal Canadiens in the previous season. Game 7 edit June 14Vancouver Canucks2–3New York RangersMadison Square Garden For the second time since 1971 and the tenth time overall, the Finals went to seven games. Rangers coach Mike Keenan became the first person to be a head coach in game sevens of the Stanley Cup Finals for two different teams. Keenan had coached the Philadelphia Flyers in 1987 when they lost to the Edmonton Oilers.[20] Mike Babcock would join him in this feat in 2009 while with the Detroit Red Wings, having been with the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim when they lost to the New Jersey Devils in 2003 (the home team won all seven games of the series).[21] The game at Madison Square Garden was an "electric affair"[16] with the Rangers jumping to an early 2–0 lead at the 15-minute mark after scoring twice within four minutes on goals by Brian Leetch and Adam Graves. However, Canucks captain Trevor Linden silenced the home crowd with a short-handed goal early in the second period to make it 2-1. Mark Messier restored order for the home crowd with a power play goal, only to have Linden make it close again. After that, it was "hectic, jittery hockey," Nathan LaFayette "frightened all Manhattan wobbling a loose puck" off the post behind Mike Richter with six minutes left.[16] There were three face-offs in the Rangers' zone in the final 37 seconds, the last coming with 1.6 seconds on the clock.[22] Mark Messier provided two of the most memorable images of that Stanley Cup Finals that would become iconic images to the Rangers and their fans: first, jumping up and down excitedly as ticker tape fell, then, showing incredible emotion as he accepted the Stanley Cup from NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman, as he became the first (and as of 2023, the only) player to captain two different teams to the Stanley Cup.[23] At the time Messier was credited for the game-winning goal earning him the tongue-in-cheek nickname of "Mr. June";[24] however, Messier admitted in 2017 that the game-winning goal was likely scored by Brian Noonan.[1] This ticket stub is a rare and valuable piece of sports memorabilia featuring Mark Messier of the New York Rangers during the 1994 Stanley Cup Finals. The stub serves as a clincher, confirming that the game was in fact played and won by the Rangers. It is an original and authentic piece, perfect for any hockey fan or collector looking to add a unique item to their collection. The ticket also features the Vancouver Canucks team and the Stanley Cup Finals event/tournament, making it an even more special and memorable item. Finally, the ticket is vintage, adding to its charm and appeal.
