Each one has a unique storyline besides the obvious drama of the timing of each goal.
1972 - Wins the Series as the Soviets were going to claim victory on having the better GF and GA but the overwhelming political overtones and the tension of Game 8 make the goal so much more than the game of hockey or saving Canada's pride.
1987 - quite possibly the greatest hockey matchup in hockey history. The KLM line vs. two GOATs, three nail-biting 6-5 games. If Canada lost this, there could be no excuses.
2010 - You could not script a bigger stage - the Olympics, on home ice, in the home of hockey against a rival who may be a bigger threat to Canada's hockey supremacy than the Russians ever were. IMO, Crosby faced the most pressure of any hockey player in history to deliver in that OT. He would have 100% blamed if they lost given he hadn't put up a point since the round robin and failed to seal the Gold Medal game with a missed breakaway with 3 minutes left.
