That was inches...inches away from ending it, and we'd all be getting off at the re-named Marcus Nilson/Stampede Station 10 years later, to go to games.
I was sitting on the goal line, that split second of a confused goalie looking for the puck, the whistle not yet blown, just waiting for that to drop behind, as Khabibulin had no idea. The ABC commentators (Davidson) was shocked it didn't.
Outside of the Gelinas goal (IMO, it went in, barely, but no actual proof...the Sun cover picture 1-1000th of a second later may have confirmed it), that was the best chance to win the Cup.
Donovan got hurt that game, and he was a big loss for Game 7. Game 7 never looked like it was in the cards from the drop of the puck, of course the save on Leopold with 5 mins to go was the final nail there.
