While doing absolutely everything in my power to not work on my school project that's due in 4 days, I was thinking about the most exciting goals the Habs have scored since the lockout. And by exciting I do not mean beautiful or jaw-dropping, I mean the level of excitment that came from the goal, aka the best moments we, habs fans, have had the chance to watch in the last few years. I sorted my choices into a top 5, feel free to disagree with my picks and add goals that you think were more exciting, so we can take a look back at some bright moments we all enjoyed 
Honorable mentions :
1) Lapierre's goal in game 6 against the Pens in 2010. Capped off a game 6 win in Montreal where Pittsburgh had all the momentum in the world during the 3rd period. Paved the way to a game 7 win, and gave us the feeling that we had what it took to beat that Pens team. Beautiful goal too
2) Markov's goal against the Ducks in 2010. Not a meaningful game by any means, but completed what was a nice 3-goal comeback, where two goals were scored in the last 2 minutes to tie the game. We won that one on a weird shootout call (if anyone remember, Hiller stopped Gionta's shot to win the game for Anaheim, kept it for a few seconds then proceeded to drop the puck in the net. Refs called it a good goal and Plekanec scored afterwards)
(5:25 into the video)
3) Moen's goal in game 7 against Pittsburgh. Not the most exciting goal but when Fleury let in that softie, you could feel the game was won. Thought it was worth an horonable mention.
TOP 5 :
5) Subban double-overtime goal against Boston. What better feeling than beating the President's Trophy winners at home, in double overtime ?
4) Desharnais' game-tying goal against Ottawa. I remember screaming of joy when Davey scored that goal, from a beautiful pass by Subban. The greatest comeback I witnessed from the Habs (I was not following the team in 2008).
3) Kovalev's goal against the Rangers. Do I need to say more ?

2) Subban's goal in game 7 against Boston, 2011. Although we ultimately lost that game, I can't forget the feeling I had when P.K. scored that goal... waw. Pure happiness. I really believed we would get through those **** Bruins after that goal.
1) Moore's goal against Washington in 2010. I don't think anything is ever gonna top this. Halak playing over his head for the last three games, the Habs hanging on for dear life at Bergeron's goal back in the first period, two disallowed goals in the third, and then the upset was almost set in stone... I still get chills whenever I'm watching that goal.
What's yours ?
