The fact that Sakic didn’t raise it and immediately handed it to Bourque to lift is incredible. Chills everytime. Best lift of all time, and that’s from a Pens fan
Ovechkin...Lanny McDonald...Teemu Selanne...Dave Andreychuk...Ray Bourque...it's always good to see some of the guys that played the longest and finally got their moment to skate with the Stanley Cup. Those are the best. 🙂
Fuck man, Weber too. Would have been such a great team to win the cup. Unfortunately they were unlucky to run into a Tampa team that pretty much wiped out everything in its path for three years. Habs and isles would have been an incredible series.
I love how Sakic doesn't even take a lap of his own, he gives it right to Borque. Great example of a captain and exactly why he wore the C. Awesome moment.
Brind'Amour just couldn't wait for his moment, just grabbed the Cup & gave it a big ol' smooch before finally skating around with the Cup. So awesome. 🙂
@@ericksheldon3870 Can people just stop hating Bettman for like 5 minutes? Sheesh. People must think this is supposed to be a 'tradition', hating Bettman every time you see him.
I wasn't even done with the waterworks from Bourque's cup lift, then you just had to show Konstantinov.. man. Those years from '97-'02 were an emotional roller coaster. I would've been in my early-mid teens when all this happened, while playing hockey 7 days a week in 2 different leagues. I'll never forget those years. Thanks for the video!
"And after 22 years...RAYMOND BOURQUE!!" / "We did it for you Vlady!" God all, man. You've gotta love Hockey's stories. I've seen em all, and when I go, I pray they let us watch the SCPS from the Big Bar in the Sky!
Millions of kids dream about it. Thousands of kids win it in their basements. It's crazy when you think you are seeing these grown men living out their life dream! In 2013, a study looked at 30,000 kids from Ontario that played youth hockey, 48 were drafted by an NHL team, and 39 of those 48 actually signed contracts with an NHL team. Of that 39, only 32 actually played in the NHL, and only 15 of those players played more than one full season. And finally, of that 15, only six played the minimum 400 games.
All the Great lifts! Gretzky, Messier, Yzerman, Bourque, Andreychuk, Stevens, Selanne, Chara, Brind’amour, Ovi! Always Memorable especially when Won on home Ice!
I totally cried when Ovi lifted the Cup. But Oshie with his father broke me. I'm glad I got to watch him lift it with his father Tim. That's one memory I'm sure the late, great Tim Oshie never forgot.
Ovi, Bourque and Vladi.. those three cup moments are legendary. Also, it’s fun to see how the celebrations have evolved over the years. Really dull and weird in the old days up until the 90’s, just a small table and and grab the cup with no build up. 😄
Ovi lifting the cup the sickest cup lift all time!! No one wanted to get as badly as he did being a generational talent and more than enough heartbreak from the penguins, lightning or rangers the previous dozen years prior
1:30 and that, ladies and gentlemen, is why Joe Sakic was always my favourite captain of any hockey team. The epitome of a true captain, leader, friend and mentor. Anecdotally, I have never met a fan of opposing teams, including Red Wings fans, say anything negative about Joe Sakic. Same with Paul Kariya and Steve Yzerman.
Imagine winning a cup, or some kind of championship in any sport at a time where fans were allowed to run in the field/ice. I’d take the trophy and just run away with it so I don’t get tackled by a fan
I'm a caps fan grew up in dc but I remember as a kid starting to love hokey watching the avs and after 22 years ray borque is probably number 1 but I don't understand how ovi and baky aren't number 2 like ovi expression and emotion is hands down the bet loft of the cup amd washington waiting 40 years for its first cup all the shit ovi used to get for not winning one was shut down this night also Barry troops after a long carrer finnaly like so many players and from the origination who had never won one plus us fans waiting year after year I think was shown in ovi lifting the cup and then when he and backstroke hold it together and do a lap was like saying this is for all of us who have waited who have been looked down on for not achieving and for o I to know he can be in the discussion for the best to ever do it in some way shape or form because without that cup people will say can you be o e of the best if you never won it all so much hate for ovi was squashed that day never to be spoken again but can he win a cup yes he mf can he was the first capital to hold a cup he broke the curse of dc after the curse was broke we won wnba championship and then the world series. During us the district of champions. D.C. He brought us a cup he made us believe again that dc could not only be a good team or have passionate fans but also be champions. And it all started with this
Definitely for Mark Stone, one of the good guys around the league, for sure. Came awfully close with the Sens just a few short years ago...but he finally got his Cup this year with Vegas. 🙂
I think the whole hockey world was ecstatic to see Ovechkin finally get to skate with the Cup. Maybe outside of Pittsburgh that is 😉 Eh, I bet even deep down, Pens fans maybe were a bit happy for Ovi as well.
the 2018-2019 roster was almost identical to 2017-2018 and cause of that as a lifelong caps fan while i don't think it would've been possible to defend their title, I do believe they would've went to at least the third round if we had won game 7 in round 1 rather than the canes. Like the canes, we would've dusted the islanders in a 4 game sweep or defeat them in 5 and unlike the canes who got swept by them while we prolly would've lost to boston given how unbeatable they were, I think we would've put up a very tough and certainly more entertaining fight by taking the Bruins to at least 6 games 🤷♂
Every once in a while, I come back to this video just to see my Vegas golden knights hoist the cup. Truly on of the best things I have experienced in my lifetime.
Fuck Vegas. Can’t believe they put them in this list. This is for the guys like Stevie and bourque and Ovie who went through hell to get that cup + many more. The chel better fix the cap rules because it’s not deserving like it used to be.
@@thomaschisholm3958 you think it's funny? I don't think it's funny it's serious. I said Auston Matthews and the Leafs will loft the Stanley Cup in 2024 and you think it's funny?
"And after 22 years...RAYMOND BOURQUE!!"
Never gets old. Just incredible.
hearing "After 22 years... RAYMOND BORQUE!" will never not give you chills. #1 lift for eternity
The fact that Sakic didn’t raise it and immediately handed it to Bourque to lift is incredible. Chills everytime. Best lift of all time, and that’s from a Pens fan
It's surprising how many people miss that point. Joe gave the honor of being the first to lift it that year to Ray.
I am not ashamed to say that Raymond Bourque lifting the cup brings tears to my eyes every single time. And I’m not even an Avalanche fan
You don't have to be an Avs fan. Your just a fan of hockey
Ik man I wish I was alive to witness it. I got my moment as a fan in 2022 but 2001 was incredible
Bruins fans love every second of it
Ovechkin...Lanny McDonald...Teemu Selanne...Dave Andreychuk...Ray Bourque...it's always good to see some of the guys that played the longest and finally got their moment to skate with the Stanley Cup. Those are the best. 🙂
If the habs won in 2021, Price lifting it would have as beautiful as Ovi. I would have cried so hard
Fuck man, Weber too. Would have been such a great team to win the cup. Unfortunately they were unlucky to run into a Tampa team that pretty much wiped out everything in its path for three years. Habs and isles would have been an incredible series.
ovi and bourque always gets me....
My condolences to the great ones who didn't get to lift a cup 💔
Well I wanted Auston Matthews and John Tavares to lift the Stanley Cup this year, why aren't they here?
@@keeshandave8603Because it’s the Leafs.
@@keeshandave8603Sadly they play for the leafs
@@keeshandave8603Cause they stopped playing hockey after round 1.

I fuckin love Brindamore just picking it up without Bettman giving it to him.
especially considering how much of a coward bettman is as of recently, it makes me so happy just seeing this.
Brind'Amour just couldn't wait for his moment, just grabbed the Cup & gave it a big ol' smooch before finally skating around with the Cup. So awesome. 🙂

What I love about this sport. No matter who’s the team you’re cheering for. Nothing beats seeing that cup lifted at the end of the day.

As a canes fan, I love Brind’amours. It was so fantastic and magical. Raymond Bourque’s was good too. Thanks for the great content, and keep it up.
Thanks Carson!
1:29 will always be my favorite, so much class
All the Great lifts! Gretzky, Messier, Yzerman, Bourque, Andreychuk, Stevens, Selanne, Chara, Brind’amour, Ovi! Always Memorable especially when Won on home Ice!
Dave Andreychuk's raise is underrated. I loved when everyone pointed at him to skate with it
I think I can safely say that the whole hockey world was cheering ovechkin on during the finals, even some crosby fans.
Lanny mcdonald will have the most iconic stanley cup pic ever.
It isn’t the fact that Ray Bourque finally got to lift the cup, it’s the fact that Joe Sakic just handed it to him instead of taking his skate
He already had his though
ovechkins is so awesome. definitely my favourite
I totally cried when Ovi lifted the Cup. But Oshie with his father broke me. I'm glad I got to watch him lift it with his father Tim. That's one memory I'm sure the late, great Tim Oshie never forgot.
I'm a Pens fan and I teared up when Ovi lifted that cup
It’s always a great time when you win the Stanley Cup and You Hoist it above your head
My School brought the stanley cup to the school and I got a photo with it
Ovi, Bourque and Vladi.. those three cup moments are legendary.
Also, it’s fun to see how the celebrations have evolved over the years. Really dull and weird in the old days up until the 90’s, just a small table and and grab the cup with no build up. 😄

Yzerman and Konstantinov ❤️

Whole lotta Sidney Crosby 🐐
That first clip is heart-warming intense
love the croud singing along to we are the champions when the kings won
The best trophy in sports
Sakic's best assist
Ovi getting his is for sure the best, had they not won it that year he would be cupless
Yes, Ovi has the greatest Stanley Cup lift of all time. No competition idc.
Ray Bourque would like a word
You’re gonna get some replies about Bourque and Konstantinov!
the pure emotion in ovi's face, the music in the background, and the crowd screaming with him definitely makes it the best one
How about Rod ripping the cup from Bettman's hands
@@DeltaHighlights i dont care. Ovi's lift is the greatest.
6:38 Is that the Indiana Jones theme song?? 😂
Yea😂
Ovechkin best cup hoist of all time
Congrats to the Florida panthers

Thank you so much and of course!

Nope Landy was better. We actually had to experience pain. Vegas fans don’t deserve shit
The first clip is me when my friends wife lets him hang out
Bro Delta what’s good bro I was in the chat with u and Daily CT last week or whatever
Hey man I gotta join another live! Was chill hanging out with you guys

Yzerman in '97 is much greater than Ovie or Crosby.
We have the best trophy
ovi the best one
Bourque and Konstantinov will always be 1A/1B in this regard
Every once in a while, I come back to this video just to see my Vegas golden knights hoist the cup. Truly on of the best things I have experienced in my lifetime.
Nobody did it like ovi. He proved to the entire world that he was never the problem and the hate he was given was unjustified
I hope that the Oilers will hoist the cup this year. Let's Go Oilers!
I'm afraid mcdavid never lift Stanley Cup
How come you didnt show the Buffalo Sabres? Oh wait,, my bad

Take away your personal bias for things and look at it for how it is, Vegas has been historical and deserves to be here.
