They're relentless
Hey everyone! How you doing? With this year's Cup Finals about to wrap up on the 19th, I just wanted to come on and get a one-question survey (if you could call it that) going with all of you hockey lovers. What I'm doing is trying to get numerous opinions from you on what your TEN favorite Stanley Cup moments are. From there, once I've gotten plenty/enough choices, I'm going to compare and compile the choices you gave and sometime in the not-too-distant future hopefully get back to all of you with a list of the 50 best S.C. moments in another thread called "Greatest S.C. Playoff Moments". Basically, I'm looking for moments that occured during playoff games only, not significance surrounding the cup winners or specific players who won the Cup. For example, I would count Mud Brunetau's 6-OT game winning goal of the 1936 semis but not the Wings winning their first Cup that same year. The only reason I'd count the significance of players winning their first or last Cup (even if it was their first Cup during their last year of playing [a la Ray Bourque]) is if the player had played exceptionally well or fantastic in more than one series including the Cup Finals. To start you off and guide you along, I'll provide you with my own top ten:
1. Brett Hull's goal in crease (1999)
2. The Bruin's "Too Many Men" incident and it's results (1979)
3. Yzerman's blue line goal in 2-OT (1996)
4. Orr's post-goal flight (1970)
5. Lester Patrick serving as a goalie sub (1928)
6. Lemieux's through-the-legs goals (1991)
7. Gretzky's game 6 OT winner (1993)
8. Darren McCarty's swerving game winner (1997)
9. The Miracle on Manchester (1982)
10. Pete Babando's game 7 OT winner (1950)
Sorry if it's a bit Wing-sided, but yeah I am a Wings fan. Please understand, when I get around to putting up the final list, that it is meant to be opinion-based and is up for debate. But if you could, please feel free to post your top ten S.C. moments lists on this thread so that I can get an idea of what your favorites are. Also feel free to include moments from this year's playoffs.
