I think Kuzy's OT goal against the Pens was one of the biggest goals in recent times. It exercised a significant amount of the Caps' demons and gave them the momentum to exercise the remaining demons with a Cup. The fact that it came in OT and in Game 6 adds to the drama and legend. If the Caps lose that game, there is good chance they lose Game 7 and add more to what seemed like an insurmountable mountain for OV and the team to climb.
If you agree with this, what goal would have been the biggest before that? One that came at a memorable time or moment in a key part of the game?
Kane's Game 6 OT winner in 2010?
Crosby's Golden goal? Possibly the most pressured filled moment from purely a hockey standpoint.
Something more recent?
My candidates for momentous goals before that are:
- Kovalchuk's OT winner at the 2008 WHC's (Russia's first gold since 1993 won on Canadian soil against a strong Canadian team in the IIHF's 100th anniversary)
- Jeeeoooo Sakic! Clinched Canada's first Olympic Gold in 50 years and stopped Canada's best-on-best losing streak of two.
- Matteau! Matteau! Matteau!
- Mario's 1987 Canada Cup game winner. Quite possibly the highest level of hockey ever played.
- Smith's own goal aganst the Flames in 1986.
- Nystrom's OT Cup winner in 1980
- Lafleur's game tying goal against the Bruins
- Henderson
