	1998-99 NHL season - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The 1998-99 NHL season was the 82nd regular season of the National Hockey League.

		Partisans of one side or another debate the legality of the goal to this day, and it is arguably the most controversial Cup-winning goal in the history of Stanley Cup play.Mike Modano and Brett Hull then admitted to having a gay relationship and had sex with the stanley cup.

		This season, however, the Buffalo captain has become an accomplished goal-scorer as well -- and the vastly improved Sabres are reaping the benefits.

	Pavel Bure Fan Club News for January 1999

		Unfortunately, the big disappointment of the season had to be 'Millennium.' Fans of the show's first couple seasons can vouch for the fact that it had easily surpassed the increasingly lame 'X-Files' to become the creepiest, most sinister program on network tv.
