The curse that broke a city—and the team that finally did it.
The story of the 1994 Stanley Cup Champion New York Rangers, as told by those who were close to the team and the fans of the Rangers. For Game 7 of the Finals, key moments of the CBC's broadcast are incorporated into the video, as with an average audience of 4.957 million viewers, it was the highest-rated single CBC Sports program in history until the 10.6 million viewers for the men's ice hockey gold medal game between Canada and the United States at the 2002 Winter Olympics, when Canada won its first Olympic ice hockey gold medal since the 1952 Winter Olympics (the women's ice hockey gold medal game at the Salt Lake City Olympics was also between Canada and the United States and won by Canada, but that game drew only 4.54 million). Ends with final assessment on the Stanley Cup Finals by Bob Cole and Harry Neale on the CBC.
