Kamloops Blazers Win Our Hearts With “NHL ’94″ Celebration
Of all the sports celebrations I’ve ever seen, the Kamloops Blazers paying tribute to hall of fame video game “NHL ’94″ takes first prize by a good margin. Blazers goaltender and Super Nintendo enthusiast, Cam Lanigan explains:
“I was playing on my old console [Super Nintendo] one day and I scored a spectacular goal,” said Lanigan. “Everyone just stopped and threw their sticks over their heads and I thought it was the funniest thing ever.”
Have to agree with Lanigan here. I always found it impressive that it took less than a second for each player, clearly in the midst of pissing intensity, to instantly switch gears to such a soothing, unified celebration upon scoring a goal or winning a game. Bonus points to Lanigan for describing his goal as spectacular. He’s definitely a “replay guy.”
Here’s video of the Blazers bringing the celebration to life:
Just a phenomenal idea by Lanigan. Though truth be told, it would have been far more impressive had he scored that spectacular goal on a Sega Genesis console using a controller with an uncooperative ‘C’ button that kept popping out.

The only thing missing is a guy that’s called for a penalty getting checked into to the box right after the whistle, only to get out, open the door and properly enter and sit down.

Not a fan of the Genesis. SNES for this guy. I did enjoy the Sonic series and a game called Bonanza Brothers though on Sega. Friend of mine even had the Sega Channel.
I just couldn’t give up the Zelda series or Final Fantasy when I was a kid that’s why I stuck with the Nintendo products.

Yes, it actually had blood and guts and such. The SegaCD version sadly was terrible, as there was load time every time that the final boss changed form.

This was released on Playstation. What a fucking awesome fighting game.
January 27th, 2011 at 4:04 PM
Also Ocarina of Time as greatest Zelda game ever? Yes.
Final Fantasy 3 (North American numbering).
Ya I fucked that up. A Link to the Past is the best Zelda game, FF3 is the best game.

The one concern I had with Elevator Action was that there wasn’t much action.
January 27th, 2011 at 4:06 PM
I’d wager a guess that when Marvel vs Capcom 3 is released there might be a new contender for best fighting game ever.
January 27th, 2011 at 4:06 PM
The original Pokemon for Game Boy was fun. I’m not ashamed to admit it.
January 27th, 2011 at 4:06 PM
Dang, I wanted to say false but just looked it up and Tekken first came out in 1994 while Soul Edge/Blade first came out in 1996

If that game came out today it would have been titled “Tower of Death”.

Not campy. Cool as shit when you got access to the Yakuza crime family. I played that game for months.

I’ve been searching my memory banks on the Ninja Gaiden thing and it’s killing me. I can’t for the life of me remember the ending but I was so sure I beat it. Hmmm. All I keep coming up with is the explod Hitler guy at the end of Bionic Commando

Pokemon will always hold a special place in my heart because it was the first game I ever put 100+ hours based on in-game timer into..though figure out how much time I spent playing sports in my youth, no idea how I played Video Games like I did
/literally did Catch/Train them all

I remember going over to my friend’s place to fuck around and play soem Madden and he’s plkaying some 3rd person game and hopping in cars and shit. I say “What’s that?” He goes “Some game, Grand Theft Auto” My mind was blown. Did not know they brought it to a console and no idea that they were making it shit loads of awesome. The wait for Vice City was one of the longest waits of my entire life.

oh, no it’s not…i just read that wrong.

Anyone ever play Vagrant Story for the Playstation? SC and I were discussing it the other day, one of Square’s greatest games.
January 27th, 2011 at 4:13 PM
i once saw a guy win 67 tekken matches in-a-row in the arcade. there was a line of people waiting to waist their 50 cents against him.
January 27th, 2011 at 4:15 PM
and wrestlefest was one of the greatest arcade games ever made.
January 27th, 2011 at 4:16 PM
This was one of the best things about arcades, like a turf war. Who wants to step up to get beat down!
January 27th, 2011 at 4:16 PM
sounds like a gay bathhouse, if you ask me.
January 27th, 2011 at 4:16 PM
Love them both. But I’m taking FF3.

Grandma’s Boy
January 27th, 2011 at 4:18 PM
That game was worth it just for the “Roundball Rock” theme song alone.
January 27th, 2011 at 4:18 PM

been a long day.
January 27th, 2011 at 4:19 PM

Just listening to the radio stations was a great time killer.
