1995 Stanley Cup Finals Game 4: End of Game 

I'm 15 and only got into hockey last year (I'm English, its not very popular over here). I never even heard of the Stanley Cup before last summer but now hockey is more to me than life itself. Every time I watch this I cry just as much as Peluso was doing. I hope to see a Devils Stanley Cup win now I'm a fan. To the future! LET'S GO DEVILS.

"In the last game against Detroit, the time from ten minutes left to one minute left was probably the longest nine minutes of my life. But from one to zero was probably the greatest time I've ever had. I didn't want the clock to run out. It was such a great feeling: people crying in the stands, people jumping up and down, people cheering. Guys couldn't even sit up on the bench. It was probably the best minute of my life. " - Martin Brodeur

growing up in the nyc metropolitan area I was lucky to have Doc Emerick call the devils games.

Wasn't alive when this happened. Never saw the Devils win the cup. I'm only 14, but this is my favorite hockey moment ever. Just seeing Peluso crying at the end shows that this wasn't just any game for the Devils. It shows that it meant more than THEM being a champion, but that the WHOLE TEAM were champions! Let's hope 1995 comes again, I'd love to see that fourth Stanley Cup!

At 5:38 you see a shot of Viacheslav Fetisov. He started the season with New Jersey and was traded to Detroit later that year. Ironic. Luckily for him, he would win 2 Stanley Cups with the Red Wings before retiring and pursuing a coaching career, then won another Cup as the Devils assistant coach in 2000.

My favorite memory of Lou's era! Thanks for everything, Lou!

I remember the first year when the Devils were new and had a bad team. Seeing them struggle year and year made winning this first Stanley Cup so special.

I've been a Devils fan since Chico Resch was in goal and when just getting into the playoffs was a milestone. When I watched this (especially after how the Devils lost in 94), words couldn't express just how awesome this was.

My dad told me that he went to this game and his good buddy worked with the devils in the 95 run and he brought that very cup to the Big Apple here in Bayonne NJ. Come on guys you can get back there again, you have the right pieces just put it together. LETS GO DEVILS!

This was the first hockey game I ever watched. I am still a devil's fan today, 26 years later. Wow.

That was the greatest moment ever

20 years ago!

This was hard on my little boy who loves DET. Poor kid was so upset. they were heavily favored to defeat NJ if i remember ?

I was born in Jersey, and this team made me a hockey fan. I was 15 back then and it still brings me joy and great memories. Thank you 95 Devils

Remember watching this then 15 min later hearing all my street hockey friends in the neiborhood skating down the street yelling the devils won !! What an amazing year I was so proud to be a devils fan.

21 years today !!!

I never get tired of seeing this,after watching the Devils sucking for years and that bitter loss in 1994, this was the best.

Damn, that was awesome. Brings back memories. This was when I was first getting into hockey as a kid. I think I appreciate it more now watching it then I did then. I got goosebumps as the fans started counting down the clock. It doesn't get any better than that. Let's go Devils!

I was 12 when this happened. It was so, sooooo... 😢... beautiful!

I recall watching game 1 and during introductions for Devils red wing fans were yelling "who's that". Well they found out and many of this 95 Devils were some of the biggest names in hockey and some went onto coaching jobs. GO DEVILS

"THE CHAMPIONSHIP TO NEW JERSEY! THE DEVILS WIN THE STANLEY CUP!!!!!!!!!!!"

Oh man, I can still remember not being able to sleep that night. Just totally bummed. It felt like the Wings were a lock to win that year and NJ just came in and crushed ass. I'm just glad the Wings were able to get it done two years later.

It's not hard to argue. The wings and devils have been the two best franchises for the last twenty years. So it's a highly subjective topic.

I was here too, what a night

I smiled so wide just watching this that my cheeks squeezed tears from the corners of my eyes. Section 124. Row 24. Seat 4. That was my spot.

Was 10 years old and was there. One of the greatest memories of my life

Met Peluso when I was 14 back in 95 and he was a great person and super nice. stayed till all the kids got stuff signed

Was happy to see a team with a line as tough as Peluso and McKay win it all.

Mike Peluso sobbing on the bench. Gets me every time.

Every Devil fan feels that way, too!! GO DEVILS!!

Watching this when it happened was truly satisfying. I was a lone Devils fan living in Texas, just after the Stars came to Dallas, and there were hockey fans in the city and most seemed to be Detroit fans before the Stars really established themselves. When sports bars were playing the Stanley Cup, most fans were in Detroit gear. When I saw Stevens destroy Kozlov early in the series, I swear you could see it in the Redwings' faces... Their confidence was stolen. Fear and doubt crept in... Then my underdog Devils sweep! One of the best sports watching experiences of my life.

Great memories that year. When i saw game 3 and the AZZ Whoopin the Devils inflicted on the heavily favorite Red Wings, i was convinced the got the cup. Still brings tears of joy whenever i think of their cup run.

Sweeps in the Finals are so interesting. It's amazing how often the team that gets swept just demolished the competition before hand and the team that did the sweeping got to the final ok but didn't sweep anybody else.

And the Devils just kept on winning after this. 5 Stanley Cups appearances, and 3 cups in still less then 20 years now.

I was a Devils fan and we celebrated with confetti when New Jersey won the 1995 Stanley Cup

This was such a great moment in sports history. Love this team 😃

So weird how the 90's just played themselves out so perfectly for almost every team involved... this was such a legitimately great team..

I remember watching this series when I was 5 years old. This series was what introduced me to hockey. This series is what made me a Devils fan. This series is why I played hockey for 15 years.

first time i ever watched hockey, the memories! Been a fan of this true sport ever since, the only sport worth being called a sport.

I was there and spent the last five minutes in a catatonic state. I couldn’t believe I was there for the final game. Definitely the best moment of the 11 years I had season tix to the Devils. The call “Last minute of play, one minute” will ring in my ears forever.

I was 5 when this happened... so I really don't have the same memories that most of you do. Yet the sheer magnitude of this moment gives me chills. Simply amazing.

@Rvd420WHAT : Have to agree with you on that Mike Emrick is truly great. I love Peter Maher since I am a Calgary Flames fan but Mike is something else. He is like the Wayne Gretzky of sports announcing, he alwas deliveres.

I was very spoiled during the Devils 5 Cup appearances and 3 wins from 1995 to 2012-. Hopefully, those days will be back soon, because there is no guarantee that it will ever happen again like this.

whenever i see videos of all 3 cups i want to cry. lets do it one more time NJ 08!!!

The first of 3! The first is always special. I love this team ❤️

"The Championship to New Jersey!!!!! DEVILS WIN THE STANLEY CUP!!!!!"

Best moment ever. This never gets old.

I remember this like it was yesterday

Props to the Devils for what they accomplished last season. Totally didn't expect it. I think they surprised a lot of people.

i get goosebumps when doc says "the championship to new jersey"

The first memory I have as a redwings fan. I was 7 years old watching this game I remember it well bc it was the first time I seen my dad really angry turning off the tv. The following 20 years I would be spoiled as a wings fan. I’m 31 now

Doc is the GOAT

Some good footage in this video, great video.

It was a great joy what the devil's was in the early 80s I stuffed from I was a rookiesvfan before they were devil's

Hell yeah, man... You gotta love the Crash Line. :)

Oh man were headed to the conference finals!! Man if we make it to the Cup finals and win it, would be amazing to hear Doc say those most awesome words again!!

25 years, wow. I remember it like it was yesterday.

thats why i like nj, thier players are all great to watch

24 years ago - man, time flies when you're watching this again and again and again and again - ok, off to "Henrique its over" video -- GO DEVILS and please Draft HUGHES in a few weeks -

i want even born when this happen. NJD's BIGGEST FAN SINCE FEBRUARY 24 1996!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those devil teams from 94/95 to 02/03 were so much fun to watch

I want vengence, damn, I want a Wings vs. Devils Cup Final again. Hopefully with some of the players on the 95 team left over. Obviously Brodeur's the only one left but the Wings have several guys who remember 95.

As a Wings fan it ripped my heart out. Devils, and Avs had our number.

Great moment for the Devils but also one of Doc Emrick's finest hours as a play-by-play guy. The best in the business by far; hockey's answer to Vin Scully.

This is how great it is to watch the Stanley Cup Playoffs; even a badass grinder like Peluso can break down in emotions knowing that he was getting his 1st( & only )Stanley Cup:-)

It's interesting to see a Finals where one team dominated on their way to the finals losing only once or twice and sweeping at least once with the other doing well on the way to the Finals but not sweeping anybody and having *that* team do the sweeping. The 1983 Finals was like that. It must be so hard to not just lose in the Finals but lose more games there (and not win one) than the rest of your playoffs combined. From the Devils POV, they don't sweep anybody until the Finals and sweep the President Trophy winners who also dominated the playoffs.

He's thinking "there's no way they are going to break through our defense and beat Brodeur 3 times in the next 180 seconds" *cries*

Always makes me Grin

I remember that day what a great game

Neal Broten has the unique destinction of being the only American to win a Stanley Cup and an Olympic Gold Medal. Broten was on the 1980 Olympic Miracle on Ice team. I think he was the most succesful member of that team, very few made it to the NHL let alone had succesful NHL careers. Broten did.

The best part and the part that matters most about competition is head to head and when the wings met the devils the wings got SWEPT!!! Go Devils

This is grade-A commentary. Doc Emerick truly is one of the greatest play-by-play announcers ever

Happiest thing I've ever seen

I just wish Fetisov was on our team...he deserved a ring, thankfully he got it with us as a coach in 2000.

new jersey devils for life.

I was at Disney world when this game aired. Saw last 5 min in a cafeteria.

@norjak71 Actually, yes, they did. As a matter of fact, all three of the Devils' Stanley Cup victories were won while the Digital Versatile Disc (DVD) was in development. DVD's were introduced in 1995. Look it up.

That Jersey team was big, strong and fast.

I was 14 when I saw this. Its my favorite 1 of the 3. Those were fun days. Hockey was a lot different then. More defensive. goalies were amazing in these times. They created the trapezoid bc of Marty and his stick handling. He was like having a 3rd dman back there. In those days the goalies had to know how to handle the puck. This isn't so in todays hockey and that is bc of the trapezoid. IMO get ride of the Marty trap.

mt dad was there. i wasnt born tl about 8 months later. :( lol. i wish i could have been there with him and my grandpa. i got to my first SCF game this year. game 1. didint go well. lol LETS GO DEVILS!!!!!

Scotty Stevens pumped up in the celebration!

The only Devils Stanley Cup championship that Doc Emerick would ever call (at least right now). The 2000 and 2003 cup wins were on ABC. The Devils made it to the Finals in 2012, but lost to the Los Angeles Kings, who were a really surprising team that season by the way. If the Devils ever win another Stanley Cup, Doc Emerick will most likely call it as the NHL is currently in the hands of NBC Sports and Emerick is their lead play-by-play.

I know I said this on the "Heaven" video, but it applies specifically to this game! June 24th, 1995 - I finished my High School graduation ceremony and went to Tully's Sports Bar in NY and watched them win Game 4 and sweep for the cup. Best day of my life before marriage/parenthood!

devils all the way 2012 stanley cup playoffs congrats on the cup DEVILS!!!!!!

Sweeping a really good Detroit team was awesome

...and I was there.

Jacques Lemaire vs Scotty Bowman... that was classic in itself

@Rvd420WHAT No kidding! Mike Emrick is the greatest. I still get chills from his call on the Tim Thomas save on Steve Downie in Game 5 of the 2011 Eastern Conference Finals.

mike emerick says the words the devils fans are waiting to hear.

We've got a few games to get back on track and get on a bit of a roll before the playoffs start. Better now than wiping out in the playoffs like we did in one of the first two rounds each of the past three years. We have a good team this year.. if they get their confidence back... look out

Between 1995 and 2003, The devils had more success than any other team winning cups. Nowadays.... not so much. They can't seem to win a game.

This is 1000x Better

Beginning of a dominating period where we won 3 cups in 9 years.

That's an amazing tale. But you WERE there...spiritually!

Oh, and you've gotta love Brylin! Still with the team!

This is the only time that the Stanley Cup was won on Fox

let’s go devils baby!

Here from 2023 waiting for the devils to win this year

chills.

I remember watching this; it was during the shortened season in '95 & the Devils completely embarrassed the heavily-favoured Red Wings in a 4-game sweep. At the time, nobody could've envisioned the Devils ever winning the Cup until it actually happened & the way they did was a shocker to many. Although that Cup Final was a letdown for me, I still watched the whole Cup celebration afterward, it was kinda neat watching the Devils finally winning a Cup after 13 years of futility....
