It was contested between the Los Angeles Kings and the Montreal Canadiens. It was the first appearance in the Final for the Kings and the first appearance since the 1920 Stanley Cup Final for a team based on the west coast of the United States. It was also the 34th appearance for Montreal, their first since the 1989 Stanley Cup Final. The Canadiens defeated the Kings in five games to win the team's 24th Stanley Cup. The year 1993 was the 100th anniversary of the first awarding of the Stanley Cup in 1893, and the first Finals to start in the month of June. To date, the 1993 Canadiens are the last Stanley Cup championship team to be composed solely of North American-born players, the last Canadian-based team to win the Stanley Cup, and the last Canadian team outside of Toronto to win a championship in one of the four major North American sports leagues. The series is remembered for Kings defenceman Marty McSorley's penalty late in the third period of game two for using an illegal stick, in what proved to be the turning point in the 1993 Cup Finals. When McSorley entered the penalty box, Los Angeles held a 1–0 series lead, and a 2–1 score in the contest. The Canadiens then went on to score the equalizer on the ensuing power play, won game two in overtime, and then defeated the Kings in the next three games to win the Cup. From the moment that McSorley was called for the penalty, the Kings failed to win another postseason game for the remainder of the 20th century, losing all the remaining games of the Finals, failing to qualify for the playoffs in five of the next seven seasons, and being swept out in the first round the other two times. Their next postseason win did not come until 2001, against the Detroit Red Wings. Meanwhile, the Canadiens did not appear in the Stanley Cup Final again until 2021. Paths to the Finals 1993 Stanley Cup playoffs 1992–93 Los Angeles Kings season 1992–93 Montreal Canadiens season Los Angeles Kings Los Angeles had started the season well but faltered from December to February, though they managed to rebound and clinch a playoff spot. Superstar Wayne Gretzky sat out from October to January due to injury. Los Angeles did not have home ice advantage for all four playoff rounds, and was the only club to face Canadian teams in every round. To reach the finals, Los Angeles defeated the Calgary Flames in the Smythe Division Semifinals 4–2, the Vancouver Canucks in the Smythe Division Finals 4–2, and the Toronto Maple Leafs in the Campbell Conference Finals 4–3. Montreal Canadiens Montreal defeated the Quebec Nordiques (their provincial rivals) in the Adams Division Semifinals 4–2, the Buffalo Sabres in the Adams Division Finals 4–0, and the New York Islanders in the Wales Conference Finals 4–1.Morrison 2008 142–145 The Canadiens initially lost their first two games against the Nordiques, due in part to a couple of weak goals let in by star Montreal goaltender (and Quebec City native) Patrick Roy. Afterwards, a newspaper in Roy's hometown district suggested that he be traded, while Nordiques goaltending coach Dan Bouchard proclaimed that his team had solved Roy. The Canadiens then responded by winning the next four games to eliminate the Nordiques, then swept the Sabres and took the first three games against the Islanders, tying a record of 11 consecutive playoff wins set by the Chicago Blackhawks and Pittsburgh Penguins the year before. The playoffs in both conferences saw numerous upsets, with the top teams in each conference – the Blackhawks and Penguins – being eliminated before the Conference Finals. The Campbell Conference saw the Blackhawks swept in the Norris Division Semifinals by the rival St. Louis Blues. Montreal's path to their first Cup Finals since 1989 became much easier after the Sabres swept the Canadiens' bitter rivals, the Boston Bruins, in the Adams Division Semifinals and the Islanders eliminated the two-time defending Stanley Cup champions (and the league's top regular-season team), the Pittsburgh Penguins, in the Patrick Division Finals.Sabres send Bruins packing May's OT strike completes sweep Kevin Paul Dupont Boston Globe April 25, 1993 49 The Bruins had eliminated the Canadiens in the playoffs for three straight years,The KO Punch Wesley Scores with 1:13 Left as Bruins Send Canadiens Packing Kevin Paul Dupont Boston Globe April 28, 1990 33Moog Leads Bruins Into Conference Final Yannis Alex New York Times April 30, 1991 B11Bruins bump Canadiens Rachel Shuster USA Today April 30, 1991 1CA Four-Gone Conclusion Bruins complete sweep of Montreal with shutout Kevin Paul Dupont Boston Globe May 10, 1992 49 mainly due to Boston goaltender Andy Moog, who was often referred to as the "greatest Hab killer" the Bruins ever had.https://www.espn.com/espn/print?id=3305393&type=story Canadiens-Bruins rivalry alive and well this season March 21, 2008 January 9, 2011 Jonah Keri ESPN The Kings' path through the 1993 playoffs was similarly made easier as their nemesis, the Edmonton Oilers, who had eliminated the Kings from the playoffs in 1990, 1991, and 1992, failed to qualify for the playoffs for the first time since they joined the NHL in 1979. Game summaries This was the last Stanley Cup Final series played in the Montreal Forum, and the last time Wayne Gretzky competed in the Finals. The Kings were appearing in the Finals for the first time in their 26-year history. They did not appear in the Finals again until 2012, where they faced the New Jersey Devils and won their first Stanley Cup. Montreal's victory is the most recent championship won by a Canadian team. They did not appear in the Finals again until 2021, where they lost to the Tampa Bay Lightning. Game one Los Angeles Kings Montreal Canadiens Montreal Forum June 1 4–1 1 www.nhl.com/gamecenter/lak-vs-mtl/1993/06/01/1992030411 In game one at the Montreal Forum, the Kings jumped out to a 1–0 lead on Luc Robitaille's power-play goal at 3:03 of the first period. The Canadiens tied the game late in the first on Ed Ronan's goal at 18:09 (although it was merely a pass that Wayne Gretzky accidentally deflected into his own net). Robitaille would break the 1–1 deadlock with his second power-play goal of the game at 17:41 of the second period. Jari Kurri added an insurance marker off a Patrice Brisebois turnover at 1:51 of the third, and Gretzky sealed the 4–1 win for the Kings with an empty net goal at 18:02.

With the Kings leading by a score of 2–1, Canadiens head coach Jacques Demers called for a measurement of the curve of Kings defenceman Marty McSorley's stick. The stick was deemed illegal and McSorley was given a two-minute minor penalty for illegal equipment. As it was late in the game and Montreal was facing the prospect of going to Los Angeles down two games to none, Demers pulled goalie Patrick Roy, producing a 6-on-4 advantage for the Canadiens. Montreal's Eric Desjardins scored from the point to tie the game at two and force overtime. Desjardins then scored his third goal of the game 51 seconds into overtime to give Montreal the win and the momentum heading toward games three and four at the Great Western Forum. Desjardins is the first and only defenceman to score a hat trick in the Cup Finals. Reports suggested Canadiens head coach Jacques Demers knew which of the Kings' hockey sticks to challenge, thanks to a Montreal Forum employee assigned to the Kings' locker room who temporarily moved the Kings' portable stick rack to the Montreal's locker room. Demers has denied this and credited captain Guy Carbonneau with spotting McSorley's illegal stick.http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/sports/hockey/nhl/kings/story/2012-05-27/marty-mcsorley-illegal-stick-curse/55238940/1 USA Today Most Popular E-mail Newsletter May 27, 2012https://www.latimes.com/sports/la-xpm-2012-may-28-la-sp-kings-mcsorley-stick-20120529-story.html Los Angeles Times Chris Foster Kings fans can't forget stick incident in 1993, but there's more to the picture May 28, 2012McSorley hopes Kings overcome stick curse http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/marty-mcsorley-los-angeles-kings-illegal-stick-curse/ May 27, 2012 Sportsnet.ca July 31, 2019 Scoring summary Period Team Goal Assist(s) Time Score 1st MTL Eric Desjardins (2) Vincent Damphousse (10) and Stéphan Lebeau (2) 18:31 1–0 MTL 2nd LAK Dave Taylor (3) Unassisted 05:12 1–1 3rd LAK Pat Conacher (6) Dave Taylor (5) and Tony Granato (10) 08:32 2–1 LAK MTL Eric Desjardins (3) Vincent Damphousse (11) and Mathieu Schneider (2) 18:47 2–2 OT MTL Eric Desjardins (4) Benoit Brunet (8) and Ed Ronan (3) 00:51 3–2 MTL Penalty summary 1st MTL Lyle Odelein Roughing 05:57 2:00 LAK Luc Robitaille Hooking 06:40 2:00 MTL Patrice Brisebois Roughing 07:05 2:00 LAK Rob Blake Tripping 10:25 2:00 MTL Patrick Roy High-sticking 10:38 2:00 LAK Tim Watters Holding 13:01 2:00 MTL Kirk Muller Tripping 13:01 2:00 LAK Darryl Sydor Holding 14:44 2:00 MTL Mathieu Schneider High-sticking 17:02 2:00 LAK Tony Granato Holding 17:53 2:00 2nd MTL Kirk Muller Cross-checking 00:35 2:00 LAK Charlie Huddy Cross-checking 04:20 2:00 LAK Marty McSorley Roughing 09:43 2:00 MTL Vincent Damphousse Roughing 09:43 2:00 LAK Luc Robitaille Roughing 16:02 2:00 MTL Gilbert Dionne Roughing 16:02 2:00 3rd MTL Benoit Brunet Slashing 01:31 2:00 MTL Vincent Damphousse Cross-checking 02:30 2:00 LAK Alexei Zhitnik Tripping 04:17 2:00 LAK Dave Taylor Goaltender interference 11:56 2:00 MTL Patrice Brisebois Cross-checking 13:16 2:00 LAK Marty McSorley Illegal equipment 18:15 2:00 OT LAK Rob Blake Misconduct 00:51 10:00 Shots by period Team 1 2 3 OT Total Los Angeles 5 9 9 1 24 Montreal 16 12 11 2 41 Game three Montreal Canadiens Los Angeles Kings Great Western Forum June 5 4–3 1 1 www.nhl.com/gamecenter/mtl-vs-lak/1993/06/05/1992030413 In game three in Los Angeles, the Canadiens jumped out to a 1–0 first period lead on a tip-in goal by Brian Bellows at 10:26, and Gilbert Dionne and Mathieu Schneider increased that lead to 3–0 at 2:41 and 3:02 of the second period. After a memorable check by long-time Kings defenceman Mark Hardy on Montreal's Mike Keane, the Kings fired back to tie the game in the second period on goals by Robitaille, Tony Granato and Gretzky. With time running out in the third period, Montreal captain Guy Carbonneau appeared to cover the puck in the goal crease, which with such little time remaining (12 seconds) would have resulted in a penalty shot for Los Angeles. But the referee ruled that the puck had been shot by a Kings player into Carbonneau's equipment, and so the period remained scoreless. After the series, the referee admitted that he had made a mistake on the call. The game went into overtime and Montreal's John LeClair scored the winner just 34 seconds into the extra period, giving the Canadiens their ninth consecutive overtime playoff victory.

Montreal bolted out to an early 2–0 lead, but the Kings fought back in the second period with goals by Mike Donnelly at 6:33 and McSorley on a power play at 19:56. As was the case in game three, the third period in game four ended up scoreless. Once again, it was John LeClair who was the hero for Montreal as he netted the overtime winner 14:37 into the extra period, banking the puck off the leg of sliding Los Angeles defenceman Darryl Sydor. In doing so, he became the first player since Montreal legend Maurice "Rocket" Richard in 1951 to score playoff overtime goals in consecutive games, and giving Montreal an NHL-record ten consecutive overtime wins in the 1993 playoffs.

After Paul DiPietro gave Montreal a 1–0 lead with a goal at 15:10 of the first period, McSorley tied the game for the Kings at 2:40 of the second period. The Canadiens' response was swift as Kirk Muller scored just 71 seconds later, and then Stephane Lebeau scored a power-play goal at 11:31 to give the Canadiens a 3–1 lead after two periods. DiPietro scored again at 12:06 to give Montreal a 4–1 lead. That ended up being the final score, with Muller's goal turning out to be the game winner. Gretzky did not manage a shot on net during the entire game. With the win, the Canadiens won the series four games to one and clinched their 24th Stanley Cup championship. Montreal goaltender Patrick Roy won the Conn Smythe Trophy as the most valuable player of the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the second time in his career (he won it for the first time in 1986). Along with the Toronto Blue Jays repeating as World Series champions, 1993 marked the first (and to date, only) year in which at least two championships of the four major North American sports leagues were won by Canadian teams.

His name was included on the cup even though he did not qualify. #6 Oleg Petrov (RW) played nine regular-season games and one playoff game but was left off the cup and team picture. He spent the rest of the season in the minors. Montreal did not include Aldo Giampaolo, Fred Steer, Bernard Brisset (Vice Presidents), and Claude Ruel (Director-Player Development) on the Stanley Cup, even though there was more than enough room. In 1986, Montreal included three of their four vice presidents and Director-Player Development on the Cup. All members were awarded Stanley Cup Rings, along with scouts and other non-playing members. In 1992-1993, the NHL had a third Stanley Cup made: the Replica Stanley Cup. It is almost identical to the Presentation Stanley Cup. This Stanley Cup stays at the Hockey Hall of Fame and does not travel. It has no dents like the Presentation Stanley Cup. Most spelling mistakes were fixed, but a couple of new mistakes did appear on the Stanley Cup (See 1969 Stanley Cup Final, and 1973 Stanley Cup Final.) Many non-playing positions were spelled differently. 2 names were left off the Replica Stanley Cup 1954 Detroit: Hugh Colfin (See 1952 Stanley Cup Final), because he never played for Detroit; 1984 XXX'd Basil Pocklington because he was not a member of the Edmonton Oilers. Also, a new ring was made with the winners from 1979 to 1991 to exclude Basil Pocklington (See 1984 Stanley Cup Final), and 1981 Stanley Cup Final for a new mistake.
