Brett Hull scores a controversial Cup-winning goal at
14:51 of the third overtime
. His foot is in the crease when he puts a rebound past Sabres goaltender
Dominik Hasek
, but the goal stands under NHL rules because he's deemed to be in possession of the puck.
To Hull, it's the most important of his 844 combined goals in the regular season and Stanley Cup Playoffs.
"It ranks No. 1 to me," he says in 2012. "To go to Dallas and be the missing piece of the puzzle that's going to help them win their Cup, and then to go out and score the goal in overtime; who hasn't sat as a kid on the ice with his buddies and dreamt or pretended that's the goal they've scored? To do it in real life was something special."
It's the first Stanley Cup championship in the history of the Stars franchise, a two-time loser in the Final (1981, 1991) as the Minnesota North Stars before relocating to Dallas in 1993.
