I remember this goal. I was about 18 at the time. I remember Draper getting is face crushed in the next round. I was mad as hell that entire summer. By the following season I was bloodthirsty and wanted payback.
Lidstrom vs CAR in 02. He’s playing catch with Fedorov on the PP & 1Ts a rocket straight *into* the camera.
Here’s the whole play. This is the “13 seconds Lidstrom played God” play. Right after this goal, almost right off the face off, he makes a ridiculous saucer pass into the path of a streaking Draper who scores again. Just incredible.

Lidstrom from center ice 2002 SCP v. Dan Cloutier
He had one really similar to this in the ’97 final against Philly. It wasn’t OT or anything but he clapped it right from the blue line like this.

Always appreciated Mathieu Schneider’s cannons from the point.
I remember this oh so well. Sweet times indeed.
I love those Blues jerseys, that may be an unpopular opinion but damn I thought they looked cool as a kid.
Great memories. That was a long but rewarding I always smile when Gretzky gets turned around after losing the puck .. he messed up.
None of us knew how good we had it. What an era.
