Terry Crisp won the Cup over the 2nd best team in the NHL. Beat Roy, Chelios, Lemieux. It almost feels like he’s taken for granted because of the talent on the team. But getting that talent to buy in is part of the job - and everyone was pulling the right way.
He wasn’t just riding the talent and keeping them happy either. He scratched McDonald for Fleury. The players weren’t too keen to see the captain sitting, but it injected something special into the roster late in the season.
It was a long time ago. But he was the guy who won.
