Not in the conversation for best goal ever by any means but a more obscure semi-recent Leafs one I enjoyed:



Knocked down by the ref, kneed in the back of the head, puck hits him in the face, gets pissed off and turns into Jagr.

Sundin's 500th might be the best "on paper" goal: a shorthanded, OT-winning hat trick goal and #500 in his career. Also a laser from the blue line.

As for my actual favourite goal ever.... I have no earthly idea. Maybe that one Datsyuk goal on Turco.

 

[Lays]

Nash undressing the Yotes

 

[Shakey Rustie]

GOAT:

 

[Falco Lombardi]

 

[66871]

 

[McDrailers]

This is the one in recent memory that made me say, Jesus. How the hell.

Dougie Gilmour's Double OT Goal against the blues in '93

[sobrien]

Nash undressing the Yotes

Came to say this. Still the best goal I've ever seen considering the circumstances...

Absolutely ridiculous goal. Keeps sight of the puck the whole time while spinning, threading it through his legs, not to mention beating the defender beforehand.

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

Laine completing the hattrick against Toronto in overtime. Can't post it from work, but it couldn't have happened any better. Laine's tying goal with under a minute left with a beautiful setup from Ehlers was a gem, too.

Drouin clowning the Avs by himself was another notable this year.

Historically, I haven't seen the clip in years, but Zhamnov 1-on-5 and scoring was amazing.

 

[Anksun]

Lemieux with Bourque on his back from his own blue Line.

 

[SnoopDogg]

Everyone's seen this goal but it's just perfect.

 

[SenzZen]

GOAT:

Belfour looks pissed.

 

[HHHH]

Not a great goal, but it sealed the Cup and I could finally feel good about celebrating!!

 

[HandshakeLine]

Lemieux with Bourque on his back from his own blue Line.

Yeah, that's my favorite Lemeiux goal of all time, and there's a lot to love.

And then there's this beastly Jágr goal from his rookie season that should be right up there.

 

[StupidGenius]

Todd Marchant scores on a breakaway against the Dallas Stars on Game 7 of the 1997 Western Conference Finals.



I remember having my ear pasted to the speaker on the clock radio, hoping to God my Mom wouldnt hear my listening to the game past my bedtime; I'd already been caught twice sticking my head out the door trying to see the TV. When Marchant scored, I was so excited I yelled loudly enough to wake my sister, who began crying. In that moment, I knew two things: I was grounded for sure, and I was going to be a hockey fan for life. I was nine years old, and this will never not be my favourite goal.

 

[molsonoilers]

It might not be the highest skill play ever, but it'll always be my favourite! Doug Weight vs. Calgary in 1997.

 

[sharkhawk]

Kane OT winner vs philly obviously

But this was the loudest I ever heard the old stadium. And it's my favorite because I was there

 

[CanadianSniper]

Paul Kariya. OFF THE FLOOR ON THE BOARD!

This **** still gives me goosebumps.

 

[VoynovsParoleOfficer]

One of my recent favorites..reminds me of Sedin magic in OP

Came to say this. Still the best goal I've ever seen considering the circumstances...

Same thing for me

 

[VoynovsParoleOfficer]

does anyone have the link to Ovi's behind the back, backhanded laser deflection...that needs to be in here

 

[Trap Jesus]

Not a great goal, but it sealed the Cup and I could finally feel good about celebrating!!

Yeah, for an "important goal" it's this one for me as well (how did Bergeron not get credited with an assist on that goal BTW?). HM to Bergeron's tying and winning goal against the Leafs in Game 7.

For favorite goal without considering importance at all:



It's been like 15 years or something since it happened and I still don't understand how he was able to pull it off.
