So far, or all time? For the latter, I'd say it hasn't been scored yet. For the former... I can't really decide, altho I'm partial to the Foligno OT GWG.

Wait a few weeks and my answer will probably change. It's very close for me between three choices: Adams' first GWG, Nash's playoff clincher and Calvert's playoff winner. Today, my answer is Nash.

After an first thought of there hasn't been one , I'll go with Nash's goal to get us into the playoffs.

Dubi's GTG should be on the list

Voted Calvert but it was a toss up between that and Foligno's with Nash's clincher not too far behind

This is a really tough one!

The first goal in club history is very important. But I'm torn between these three:

Rick Nash - Playoff Clinching Goal
Calvert's goal in Pittsburgh - First Playoff Win
Foligno's goal in Columbus - First Playoff Win at home

Right now I think it's Calvert's GWG. Prior to that I think it was Nash's playoff clinch. But the goal that has the most potential is Foligno's. It is the one that really raised him up a notch. If, years from now, He ends up in the Hall of Fame then that will be the most important to him and only behind the Stanley Cup winning goals.

Foligno's goal in Columbus - First Playoff Win at home

These, for me, have to be the top 3. The main reason we care and watch this game so much centers around the playoffs, either getting in or winning.

While I think the goal that got us in that first time was important, I'm leaning more towards the first playoff win and Calverts goal in double OT in game 2 of the series with the Pens.

I can't wait for it to be replaced this coming season with Boone's series clincher in SC Finals to raise the cup! :)

Had to go with Nash's playoff clincher as the most important.

As for the most exciting/entertaining it would probably be Calvert or Foligno.

Calvert's game-winner in Pittsburgh. Buddy convinced me around lunch time that day to drive over to Pittsburgh and go to the game. Got a couple tickets about twenty rows from the ice on the blueline and it happened to be on the end where Matty scored. Unreal night.

A lot of the goals on the list, while important, are also goals that were bound to happen. I guess that's true of all of the goals on the list but many of the milestone goals were bound to happen in the first season. Nash's is different, and would carry more weight with me if we hadn't gotten swept in our first trip to the playoffs.

So I have to go with Matty's. What an amazing feeling! So was the feeling after both Dubi's and Nick's, but Matty's just launched my spirits and sense of confidence in that team and changed that series in a lot of ways.
