"Fetisov for the Devils plays it cross-ice, into the far corner. Matteau swoops in to intercept. Matteau behind the net, swings it in front. He scores! Matteau! Matteau! Matteau! Stephane Matteau! and the Rangers have one more hill to climb, baby, and its Mount Vancouver! The Rangers are headed to the Finals!"

"The Islanders have had two penalty shots in Stanley Cup playoff history, here is number 3. Bates against Joseph ......Bates in on goal ....he shoots, He scores! Consider that for a franchise loaded with memorable postseason moments, you have just witnessed one of the most memorable. A penalty shot goal by Shawn Bates to give the Islanders a 4–3 lead with 2 minutes and 30 seconds left in regulation time."
"Swing and a fly ball to right, Green under it.....in foul ground..makes the catch!...Put it in the books!..The Mets are gonna play for the pennant!"
"Every shot Wade Dubielewicz has ever seen comes down to this confrontation, Sergei Brylin in on goal, Dubielewicz stops him! The New York Islanders are heading to the Stanley Cup Playoffs...in as dramatic a fashion as you could envision!"
"Ground ball to Gotay, throws on to first... Put it in the history books!...Tom Glavine has won his 300th game."
"Lopez wants it away, and its hit deep to left center, Andruw Jones on the run, this one has a chance... home run!, Mike Piazza!, and the Mets lead 3 to 2!"
"Streit, Okposo, Tavares, Moulson and Hunter... Hunter for Moulson, it hopped over his stick, Moulson got it back, couldnt control, then THEY SCORE! Its Tavares! John Tavares picked up the loose puck, and fires home his first National Hockey League goal! A power play goal, and the Islanders lead it 2 to 1! How about THAT for fast hands?"
