Gretzky even at this point in his career was amazing.

[@JohnSmith-4U]

I almost forgot Luc Robitaille played for the Rangers.....The Rangers had a stacked team that year

[@knightrdrx]

Lindros with that last minute goal was a killer

[@dumpybear8664]

Gretzky's wife sitting next to a Panthers fan...lol. What a shot (and lack of defensive effort)

[@ENTERTAINMENT35]

His hat trick goal is just like the 4-4 game tying goal against Philadelphia In 98 on Sunday night hockey where we needed to win and we lost in OT with Sjon Podein goal

[@RickJohnson-bl7ni]

Sjon podein.. man I’m getting old lol

[@ENGlishJELLo-yk7up]

Surprise the Rangers didn't go all the way this season (Curse the Penguins). They had a great team with Gretzky, Messier, Leetch, Graves, Robitaille and Richter!

[@jakubvotypka3746]

That's some pretty terrible defending and goaltending on the first two goals.

[@seveglider8406]

The first 2 goals were great shots which NO goalie would have stopped!

[@WYBsilon]

What should Beezer have done on the first goal? Positioning himself towards #99 so that Leetch could score?
