1994: Matteau!!! Matteau!!! Matteau!!!
Stephane Matteau, who had won Game 3 of the 1994 Eastern Conference Finals with a double-OT goal, swooped in and beat Scott Niedermeyer to the loose puck. Matteau then carried the puck behind the Devils’ cage and emerged on the other side, where defenseman Slava Fetisov was charging towards him. Matteau proceeded to put a wraparound shot off Brodeur’s stick and over the goal line at 4:24 of the second overtime to set off a wild celebration, both on the ice and in the stands at MSG a 2-1 victory in Game 7 for the Rangers! 4-3 series win for the Rangers sending them to the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time since 1979
