FIVE Worst Blunders in NHL History (Bleacher Report)

[rinkrat]

1. Los Angeles Kings VS Montreal Canadiens, Stanley Cup Final, Game Two, 1993

Marty McSorely (sic) had a great post-season in 1993 with the Los Angeles Kings, but that is definitely not what he is remembered for. The Kings were very close to taking a 2-0 series lead against the Montreal Canadiens in the Stanley Cup finals when McSorely got an unnecessary penalty.

With the Kings up by a goal, Canadiens coach Jacques Demers called the referees over and told them to take a measurement of McSorely's stick. The stick proved to be illegal and McSorely was sent off with a two minute penalty. Eric Desjardins scored on the power play and in overtime to give the Canadiens a very important victory. The Canadiens would win the next three games and be crowned champions for the 24th time in franchise history.

I hope "1" means first runner up, with Kelly Hrudey's gaping five-hole being the grand-prize winner.

WHAT???

I believe the signing of Dan Cloutier to a pro contract should rank high up there...

The Bleacher Report isn't a legit news website, and the stuff posted there isn't "articles" -- it's no different than anything posted on LGK, because anyone can post "articles" there. They don't even check them for spelling, grammar or accuracy. It's literally a bulletin board disguised as a news site.
