I’m still curious how him slapping at a puck, while his foot is in the crease, has been spun into “he had control.” I must’ve been watching a different game/highlight.
@@RYMAN1321 People forget that the NHL sent out a memo during the 98-99 season clarifying this rule in a way that would in fact mean Hull's goal was legal
I've seen bits and clips of Ruff whining about this for years, but has anyone ever actually pressed him on that aspect? I've never seen one clip of Ruff talking about this goal that's longer than 8 seconds. Not once have I seen someone ask him about that.
But he had 0 control other than standing in the crease. I think the lone Sabres player came rushing across and the puck skiddered off him to Hull's stick and shoved in.
@@kevinwilliams1367, he kicks the puck up to his stick which is a controlled move. His foot comes down in the crease and he swipes it in. Hulk made a move to gain possession, then entered the crease, then scored. Good goal.
they were calling dudes for being in the crease all season, regardless of posession. And then there was some memo passed around that nobody read. Idk. I was a huge buffalo fan during this era, yeah holzinger knocked the puck out of haseks glove its just as much his fault. But, they were calling this all season. Go watch games from the 99 season if you dont beleive me.
@@Gammera2000well if he made it from a foot back it would’ve been a goal. But the rule wasn’t “well since he probably would’ve made it anyway it’s a goal” it was supposed to be “he’s clearly in the crease so no goal”
The ONE thing that had been consistent that WHOLE season was if an offensive player’s skate was in the crease it was NO GOAL. Earlier in the playoffs the Bruins had a game winner nullified against the Sabres in game 6 of their series, or who knows it might’ve been the Bruins in the finals
Hull shot. SCORE SCORE SCORE, THE DALLAS STARS, BRETT HULL, THEY'VE WON THE STANLEY CUP! DEEP IN THE HEART OF TEXAS, THE STARS, ARE SHINING! Gary Thorne
It was a good goal according to rule 78(b). You were allowed to be in the crease if the puck was there. You are not allowed to stand in the crease while another member of your team shot at the goalie. That was the purpose of the rule. Hall shot the puck, there was a rebound, incidental contact against him forced him to stand where he was, then he shot the puck in. That is a good goal. Absolutely nothing controversial about it.
I’m a Stars fan, and I also was at time, but if they have any bitterness, I can’t blame them. Still one of the most memorable moments of my life as a sports fan.
I'm a Sabres fan and AM still a little bitter... at how bad the rule was written. I hope you enjoyed seeing your team get the Cup. Any sane set of rules calls that a goal.
@@SquallLionhart409 I was glad the Stars won, but even as a minor, I saw the other side pretty quickly. I like what one fan said about the goal several years ago: Brett Hull had about as much control of that puck as I have over the weather.
In the crease or not that goal should not have counted for an even more basic reason. If you look closely Hull’s skate is interfering with Hasek’s stick and since Dominik likes to poke check the puck away that definitely caused issues with him stopping the puck.

I was a huge buffalo fan during this era, yeah holzinger knocked the puck out of haseks glove sort of, but the puck was never under haseks glove, holzinger might of thought it was tho and came to try to get hull away from the goalie but ended up hitting the puck and it drifted to the perfect spot for hull to just shoot an easy goal. But, they were calling this all season. Go watch games from the 99 season if you dont beleive me.
No it wasnt. It was used but social media killed the depth and meaning of the word. In fact, social media has killed almost all words (at least in the English language) and their meanings
dude made a play in restricted area knowingly cheating most actual players instinctively dont it and whoever that is that made the shot should be ashamed and im not even a fan of hockey but watching worst cheats in sports video this easily one of the worst ive seen up there with lance armstrong and others
I'm a Blues fan, and I remember watching this. Really wanted Hull to win a Cup. But that should have been NO GOAL.
Didn’t the rules change after this though ?
@@RYMAN1321 Yes, the very next season they did away with that stupid rule. After the firestorm that erupted after this play.
I’m still curious how him slapping at a puck, while his foot is in the crease, has been spun into “he had control.” I must’ve been watching a different game/highlight.
Was watching same and that was not a goal. I do think Stara win the Cup but they should never end it like that.
@@RYMAN1321 People forget that the NHL sent out a memo during the 98-99 season clarifying this rule in a way that would in fact mean Hull's goal was legal
Im still sitting in my seat section row 19 seat 6 waiting for the refs to say no goal!!
My 90s nostalgia kicked in and when ruff says i got two words for yea....instantly went to DX, we all know what those two words were! Lol
NHL had said earlier in the season that if a player is in control of the puck A FOOT IN THE CREASE IS ACCEPTABLE!!!! Dang it's been 25 years!!
I've seen bits and clips of Ruff whining about this for years, but has anyone ever actually pressed him on that aspect? I've never seen one clip of Ruff talking about this goal that's longer than 8 seconds. Not once have I seen someone ask him about that.
@@joshuaneal7552there’s a lengthy interview from a couple years ago, where he talks about it.
He didn’t have control. He saw the puck get kicked out and shot it. I can’t find any angle that shows him even touching the puck until he shoots it.
But he had 0 control other than standing in the crease. I think the lone Sabres player came rushing across and the puck skiddered off him to Hull's stick and shoved in.

I agree with it no goal, 1999 I forgot all about it.
His foot was in the crease. They were calling everything back all year. Stars bench cleared fans were jumping up. Refs were like" meh lets go home"
Yeah, his foot was in the crease, but only because #19 pushed it into the crease.
Yeah, it's technically illegal, but it doesn't matter. He still would have made the shot if he was back another foot.

Lindy Ruff was by far the best Sabres coach
Foot in the crease no goal per 1999 rules.
The goal that changed the rules.
"Mike Modano, with Dennis uh Brett Hull
And the Stanley Cup has been won"
Worst call ever
Hull shot. SCORE SCORE SCORE, THE DALLAS STARS, BRETT HULL, THEY'VE WON THE STANLEY CUP! DEEP IN THE HEART OF TEXAS, THE STARS, ARE SHINING! Gary Thorne
We find ways to loose championships in the most heartbreaking fashions ever!!!
Greetings from Buffalo New York
Son of a B. So I rmbr they only got there bc of a bills eff up. I mean sabres
Yeah, the Bills by losing 4 in a row. Plus Scott Norwood in the first one...
sadly, this. - a bills fan
From buffalo to my friend
Yep. Just be glad the Kansas City Scouts lost their franchise. LOL. City of losers.

If it wasn’t for the absolute brilliance of Domink Hassek this would of been a 4 game sweep.

Eddie couldn't do it for my Blackhawks, but he did it for the Stars!! Eddie the Eagle!!!!
Well the fortunate thing is that the whole foot in the crease rule doesn't exist anymore, alongside two line pass lol.
Brett Hull never celebrates a goal???
it was a stupid, stupid rule and this goal showed how stupid it was...
No goal
Clearly in the crease
If he's in control...oh well.
Get over it.
Y'all have lost every championship to Dallas...
GOOD GOAL.
NO GOAL PERIOD

They called it on us in this series. I think it was even this game in the 1st ot they waved it off
Sabres have had 2 stanley cups stolen from them n ppl think sports leagues arnt rigged
luckily hockey karma exists because they lost to NJ right after then TB down the road and may the continue to lose anytime they get to the SCF.
Even if it wasn’t a goal, the gm would hav continued in OT n u still had gm 7 in Dallas had they won. This wouldn’t hav garinteed them a cup
😂😂😂😂😂😂
@slapshot68 we scored earlier in the game and they called it no goal... wouldn't of been a 2nd or 3rd ot.
When was the 2nd one? Considering they've only been in one Cup Final before
Weird rule it had no effect on the goalie
No goal.
My dad was so happy
"epic" wasn't overrused before 1999?
No it wasnt. It was used but social media killed the depth and meaning of the word. In fact, social media has killed almost all words (at least in the English language) and their meanings
this was an easy one for prejudice to call. Golden Brett v Dominator. the narrative is clear. favourable scripts must be written.
The real tragedy is that Minnesota should have stayed home to the NORTH STARS!
it was a good goal
Hasek likely forgave Hull in 2002.
Buffalo, NY… the city of broken dreams
NO GOAL
Goal!!!!!!!!!
No goal no goal no goal
You lost you lost you lost!😂
A memo went out😂. Ya, ok. If you knew the rules, you knew it wasn’t a goal
dude made a play in restricted area knowingly cheating most actual players instinctively dont it and whoever that is that made the shot should be ashamed and im not even a fan of hockey but watching worst cheats in sports video this easily one of the worst ive seen up there with lance armstrong and others
One day we will win another.
We're gonna win it this year
Yeah wild a giant metropolis had the fix in....
Wow, I was only 4 when'd this happend
Eddie!
No Goal… crease rule was still a rule… NO GOAL!!!
0:14 1:36
Boom
Buffalo Sabres fans still crying??!?? Well Dallas Stars have the banner to prove it... 😂
It was a no goal that ended series . Complete BS not sure much to compare with how bad that was . Crying would be if it was legit goal it was not
@@shockerdcr i agree with you 100%
"Controversial" lol
Eh buffalo will get over it
Cheaters
Go stars!!!
Раньше хороший хоккей был,не то что сейчас
Memo lol
BAD GOAL
Dallas is not a true Champion!!
The bather is here!!
They have a tainted championship and they know it
@@jerry9535 I would wipe my rear end with that banner. It’s a tainted banner and you know it.
Dallas owns Buffalo in sports. lol
20+ years and you’re still salty. If you’re a Sabres fan, then you’ll be suffering for eternity.
No goal!
Eddie "THE EAGLE" BELFLOUR
no goal
Oh I scored 😏
No goal
