Biggest Goal per Team
- Thread starter saskriders
- Start date
If memory serves, the Red Wings are the only team to have won the Cup in OT of Game 7, doing it in both 1950 (Pete Babando, 2OT) and 1954 (Tony Leswick). The '50 Wings also defeated Toronto in Game 7 OT a couple weeks earlier. Those are some pretty huge goals.

The Devils won the 1995 Cup so easily, I think that whatever goal happened to be the winner isn't that important.
There are two choices:
1. John MacLean's goal in OT in the last game of the 1988 regular season to get the Devils into the playoffs for the first time ever.
2. Jason Arnott's cup winning goal in OT of Game 6 in 2000.
There's even an article on this (as there probably are for several teams):

depends on what you mean by "biggest."
if we can stretch this thread beyond the game winning goal that got the team the farthest they went, some most legendary goals might be:
anaheim - kariya's goal after the stevens hit to put the game out of reach and force game 7.
new jersey - arnott in OT.
vancouver - bure's breakaway OT game 7 goal.
EDIT: man, i take a few minutes to think about this and two of my choices are already posted. great minds, i guess.
For the Canadiens, I'd recommend the Guy Lafleur goal after the Too Many Men on the Ice penalty to tie the CF against Boston in Game 7. Just a ridiculous reaction from the crowd.
From a personal standpoint, I'd say the Senators is Steve Duchesne's goal to send the Senators to the playoffs for the first time in the final regular season game against Buffalo in '97.

Sharks is definitely last year's second round winner. Much more pressure, much higher expectations after the goal is scored.

I hope we can.
Gotta agree - that goal is such an iconic moment in the sport, it can't be overlooked.
Agreed - if Alfie doesn't score that goal in 2007, they still have two more cracks at taking down the Sabres. Compare that to the win-and-you're-in-or-lose-and-go-home scenario from 1997 which capped off an improbable 9-3-2 run (they were 22-33-13 before running the table at the end) and set the stage for one of the greatest playoff series in my lifetime.

The LA Kings biggest goal has to be Darryl Evans "the Miracle on Manchester " goal against Edmonton.
Did the embedding for youtube but it didn't seem to work.

For the Devils there is no other option than Jason Arnott´s cup winning goal in overtime of 2000 SCF.
Most remarkable moment of the 1995 was not any goal but Steven´s hit on Kozlov, which change - or better - keep the momentum of series on Devils´ side.

Wild's biggest goal is Andrew Brunette retiring Patrick Roy and the Avs in 03 first round.
Cool topic though.

I'd also mention Sakic 3-0 goal in 2001 Game 7 (bigger than Tanguay's open net 2-0 goal IMO).
Sakic's triple OT goal against Chicago in '96 stands out as well.
... I should probably preface this by saying that I've been a fan of the Kings since 1984, although I DID see the Kings/Oilers series in 1982 as well.
For my money, the biggest goal in Kings' history was Gary Shuchuk's OT goal in game 5 of the Kings/Canucks DF series in 1993. It's at about 6:05 of the video.
The goal put the Kings up 3-2 in that series, and the Kings won game 6 at home to close it out.
The Kings had never ventured past the second round of the playoffs before, and without Shuchuk's goal it would have been another year of ... almost, but not quite.

For Detroit I would say Babando 1950. If there was a defining goal in 1997 it would certainly be in the running.

For the Hurricanes, the cup winner in 06 wasn't that big a goal. There was a lot of game played after it, and I would say that the most important goal in that game was Justin William's empty netter following Cam Ward's huge save on Pisani that kept it from being tied.
Biggest goal in that playoff run probably goes to Staal's goal against the Devils.
Of course, the entirely different option is Francis's OT goal in game 1 of the 2002 final that really legitimized the franchise, even if they wound up losing the series.

Another possibility would be Gelinas' goal against the Maple Leafs in the 2002 ECF to send the Hurricanes to the Finals for the first time. The Detroit goal is right around that same level of importance.

Here are some of the biggest goals I have ever seen since 1979-80 season
Bruins: Cam Neely scoring in 1988 against Montreal and lifting the Bruins past the Canadiens for the first time in a long time. Gave the Bruins a lift knowing that finally they could beat the Canadiens
Sabres: The "May Day" goal The sabres finally get past the first round on one of the best calls ever for a goal
Canadiens: Eric Desjardins goal after the infamous stick measurement. If he doesn't score Montreal goes down 2-0 and maybe the KIngs win the cup
Senators: Daniel Alfredsson against the Leafs in 2002 when he boarded Tucker and then scored the goal. It was then that Alfredsson became the face of the Senators in my opinion
Maple Leafs: Borchevsky's goal against the Red Wings in 1993
Devils: Claude Lemieux against the Flyers game six to get the Devils to the finals in 1995.
Islanders: Nystrom's Stanley cup winning goal
Rangers: Either Messier's Stanley cup winning goal to end the 54 year old drought or Matteau's game 7 goal against the Devils
Flyers: J. J Daigneault to get the Flyers to game seven against the powerful Edmonton Oilers in 1987
Penguins: Mario's goal in the finals against the North Stars 1991
Hurricanes: Gelinas goal in 2002 to beat the leafs and get them to the finals
Lightning: Martin St Louis overtime goal game 6 of the finals against Calgary to force a game 7
Capitals: Joe Juneau in 1998 overtime goal to get the Capitals to the finals for the first time against the Sabres
Blackhawks no question Patrick Kane's goal last year
Red Wings: Darren McCarty's Stanley cup winning goal in 1997 one the prettiest goals ever in the Stanley cup finals
Blues: Doug Wickenheiser game 6 against the Flames in 1986 to force a game 7
Ducks: Dustin Penner game winning goal in 2007 game 4 vs the Senators. It looked the Senaotrs might make it a series but his goal gave the ducks a commanding 3-1 lead
Kings: Wayne Gretzky game 6 vs the Leafs in 1993 Gets the Kings to game 7 on one of the most talked about goals ever especially to leafs fans
Stars: No question it is Brett Hull's Stanley cup winning goal in 1999
Flames: Joel Otto's goal game 7 vs the Canucks in 1989 No Stanley cup run if he doesn't score that goal and Vernon stands on his head to beat the surprising canucks
Avalanche: 1982 Dale Hunter game 5 against the Canadiens to beat the Canadiens in a best of 5 series
Canucks: Pavel Bure game 7 vs Calgary in 1994 what a breakaway goal
Oilers: Mark Messier Game 3 vs the Islanders 1984 the biggest goal in Oiler Histor
