and 1993 for Montreal yet even he said he wasn’t the story “Right now I’m just think- ing about Ray" Roy said When NHL commissioner Gary Bettman handed the cup to Sakic the Colorado captain he quickly shoved it into Bourque’s hands For the first time Bourque finally showed emotion smiling kissing the cup emphatically and lifting to the sky before a victory lap he once draught he might never take “It’s unbelievable" Bourque said “It’s really emotional It’s tough to keep it ' together I couldn’t let it go until the end” He also took it on h second lap and athird as if to remind himself it truly was happening Call it an omen calf it destiny but Bourque’s number finally came up — No 77 in Game 7 — and the Stanley Cup is his “ft’s great to be on a team that wins the cup for Ray Bourque” said Sakic who scored a goal after being shut out since Game 2 “It’s great to be on this team’ Asked if he might retire now that he has the cup Bourque i would wait two or three weeks to decide “In our hearts and our lives we woe playing for Ray Bourque" said coach Bob Hartley a forma: windshield installer who never played pro hockey and didn’t begin his coaching career until he was 27 “I’m remember coaching Ray Bourque until I close my little eyes” As Bourque’s streak ended so did Devils coach Larry Robinson’s run of never lbsing the cup despite his pregame prediction that New Jersey would ruin Denver’s prematurely announced plans foraparade Robinson had been 0 in the finals as a player assistant coach and head coach but that streak ended as Colorado — which had lost Game 7s to Dallas in the Western race finals the previous two seasons — won its second cup in six seasons They also won in 1996 die season they moved from Quebec “I felt very confident going into this game very confi- dent"
