first of all, kudos to big phil for this thread. it's great that this isnt a top 5 or top 10. no one is saying "xxy and it's not even close" or "LOLwut, no xyy? disgrace." we're just remembering great moments that meant something to us.

i can't remember who this was or what the specifics were, but recently in the playoffs (i think) someone broke his ankle (i think) blocking a shot on the PK, but play went on. guy crawls along the ice until he is in front of the net and the ref has to stop the play. i think cherry ended up showing this a few times on coach's corner.

"You don't know this, but Trevor Linden had cracked ribs and torn rib cartilage for the last four games of the 1994 Stanley Cup Final," Cliff Ronning said. "You can't imagine what it's like to hear your captain, in a room down the hall, screaming at the top of his lungs as they injected the needle into his rib cage. Knowing him, he probably thought we couldn't hear. He would then walk into our dressing room like nothing had happened. That was inspirational."
