Nathan LaFayette hit the post in Game 7 of the 1994 Stanley Cup Finals .

The Vancouver Canucks were trailing the New York Rangers 3 -2 at Madison Square Garden .

The Rangers won the series 4-3 in the final game, clinching the Stanley Cup in 1994 .

The Canucks won the Cup in 1995 , but didn't win it that night.

LaFayette spent four seasons with the Los Angeles Kings , getting into 94 games over that time.

He was traded to the New York Rangers in a seven -player swap in March 1996 , going to the Kings along with centres Ray Ferraro and Ian Laperriere and defencemen Mattias Norstrom in return for wingers Jari Kurri and Shane Churla and defenceman Marty McSorley .

He played just 17 games with the big club in his two-season stint there.

Jyrki Lumme was the most highly rated and he was underrated.

Pavel Bure was never a distraction during the 1994 playoffs.

The Canucks defence was "just so miserable to play against," he says.
