Might be on a personal basis, or just in general, what in your opinion is the greatest game you've ever witnessed?
Game Two of the Canada/Russia final in the 1987 Canada Cup quite possibly the most purely enertaining game ever
Game Three of the Canada/Russia series in 1987. Gretz to Mario, Canada's comeback, etc.
The semi final between Canada/Russia in overtime in the 1984 Canada Cup
Game Three of the 1996 World Cup even if the US did win
Game Six of the Pens/Caps series in 2009 from a purely neutral point of view that would have been epic (although I was rooting for the Pens)
Game Seven of the 2009 Cup final. Didn't pick up until the 3rd but man, oh man, it was the most nailbiting finish in Cup history
Game Seven between the Flyers/Caps 2008
Semi final match between Can/Czech in the 2004 World Cup
Gold Medal game between Canada and USA in 2002 Olympics
You and I are one in the same, my friend. That's pretty much my exact list. With game 2 of the 87' Canada Cup being far and away my favourite.
I would also put game 6 of this years final into that category. Staal with a huge shorty, the 3 or 4 saves by Scuderi to finish the game. Probably the best game 6 and 7 I've ever seen in a 7 game play-off series.
Yes the 1987 Canada Cup Game #2 is the best of all time without a second thought with me as well.
Hmmm, Game #6 of the 2009 finals. Now I know Staal got the classic shorthanded goal in Game #4 on that end to end rush but was his goal in Game #6 a shortie as well on the two-on-one? I can't find the boxscore for that. But yes, Scuderi's foot save in the crease at the end (which got him a HUGE contract in LA) and don't forget Fleury's breakaway save on Cleary with a minute left too. Come to think of it, Game #6 had be tense as well, lol
Yep, come to think of it, you are right. His goal in game 6 was the one where the rebound came right back out to him off the initial shot and he buried it. Game 4 holds it's own in that series though. The short handed goal was great, it was also a see-saw battle for a while and the Kunitz, Crosby, Kennedy tic-tac-toe play finished it off.
March 5, 2004 .. Flyers 5, Senators 3 ... The clubs combined to set a few NHL records that night .. .the 3rd period box score.
