To me there are a few choices. And none of these are being a Homer I'm just going by on the entertainment of Hockey that was played.
1971 Mtl/Chi - Have to say this is one of the Greatest ever. Gone 7 games, Habs win after Henri Richard pops two goals in the last period to win 3-2. Poor Hawks, they were up 2-0 in games and then 2-0 in Game 7 before Lemaire let a dipping shot form centre go in past Esposito.
1987 Edm/Phi - Got to say this is right up there as my favourite. If you watch Game 7 of that series you'd be shocked at how wide open it is. Ron Hextall played the game of his life and still lost 3-1. It was very tight and very tense until Glenn Anderson scored with three minutes left in Game 7.
2004 TB/Cgy - This was the best final I've seen in a long time. Game 5 Iginla loses his helmet but still gets the shot off and Saprykin pops the OT winner. Clagary goes home with a 3-2 lead and then that game goes into OT. A lot happened in that game, the controversial goal by Gelinas, then the OT winner by St. Louis. Then in Game 7 a 2-1 win for TB. But who can forget Khabibulin's save on Leopold late in the game to preserve the Cup.
1994 Van/NYR - No one can forget this one. Vancouver wins in OT in Game 1 seconds after Leetch hits the post, then New York wins the next three followed by that wacky Game 5 which Vancouver wins 6-3. On to Game seven and all that separated them was a post hit by Lafayette. Rangers win!
