		Alex Tanguay supplied the scoring touch with two goals and the 40-year-old Bourque, who had played a record 1,825 games without ever handling the cup, wept as he finally touched it -- ending a journey that began when he was a teen-age defenseman for Boston in the 1970s.

		For their part, the Canadiens would score two overtime goals against the Nordiques in their six-game series, three against the Buffalo Sabres in a four-game sweep, two against the New York Islanders in five games and three against the Kings in their five-game Stanley Cup final.
