Your favorite induvidual play?

[seventieslord]

my favourite play will always be Gilmour's double OT wraparound goal.

Or the sequence where the fan who laughs at Steve Sullivan for getting cut, ends up getting cut and laughed at by Sullivan.

Big Mats, 1996 World Cup, the most talented swedish team ever, IMO.

That is just freakin ridiculous.

And Mario didn't even get a point on that play!!!!!


The play I remember is like 1993ish, when I was little. Mid way through the second period (we had tickets behind the pens bench from this nice old lady up the street) and mario's skate was untied. well he couldnt do it, the man couldn't lean down. Trainer tied his shoe and Mario couldn't even reach for the water, you could see his pain every moment. My dad said hes going to have to come out, this guy is beat up, rest him.....



He hopped over the bench, stole the puck, beat two dmen and scored. I think he got 2 goals and an assist that night, and waiting for his autograph after the man couldn't even walk right. Someone drove him home.

Greatest player I have ever seen, more talent on his little finger than 99% of the guys who play in this league.

Wish he was healthy.

Selanne's record breaking goal scored on Stephane Fiset on the Nordiques

A breakaway pass from Domi that both he and Fiset were racing to. Selanne reaches out and chips the puck past a sprawling Fiset for goal #54 on the year.

And that celebration afterwards!!! One of the greatest individual accomplishments in WINNIPEG JETS hockey history. Selanne had that old Winnipeg arena rocking


Anyone got a video clip of that moment in hockey history? It would be sweet to see on here.

Here ya go. First one that popped up on Youtube when I searched "selanne record"

-at 42 seconds and following...

-the Bruins were "shorthanded" (an oxymoron if Orr is on the ice) and Orr takes the puck behind his net, grabs a breath, and weaves around five flames and the opposing net before scoring...

 

[From The Point]

mario lemieux's first career goal, mario lemieux's goal in game 2 of the 91 finals, and mike eruzione's gw goal against the soviet union are my favorite plays in hockey...

EDIT: lemieux's faceoff goal was also one of my personal favorites...

ain't that the truth. He'd still be kicking it out there...

 

[The G Man]

Playoff game sometime in the mid-late 80's. Gretzky's Oilers vs Chicago. Gretzky has the puck near center ice (I think killing a penalty?) and he is skating along the red line towards the glass. All the while he is watching Jarri Kurri in the reflection of the glass streaking down ice on the far side ... Gretzky then make a no look backhand bullet pass to Kurri, right on his stick, who comes in all alone and scores.

Kovalev's incredible goal agains the U.S. in the WCOH.

i remember a brian leetch goal versus the flyers in the early 90's. he went coast to coast and past/around each flyer before scoring. great goal, but i can never find a video of it. anyone else remember it or have a link?

I loved that goal. Remember it like it was yesterday.

It's at 0:49

Another excellent pass by Wayne from that same year is at 1:50.

The Bob Bourne end-to-end goal is pretty sweet, too.

Peter Mahovlich's SHG versus the Russians in 1972.

Awesome goal. The Canadian players say that was the biggest goal of the series because if they lost that game they were done.

My favourite is Game 7 of that series and Henderson skates around three Soviet players and scores the game winner.

Love the reaction after he scored it.

 

[Big#D]

Not a hockey play necessarily, but I just loved when Scott Steven told the Detroit bench "You're next" after laying out Kozlov.

Here ya go. First one that popped up on Youtube when I searched "selanne record"

I did some research and I found out that the night Lemieux returned from Hodgkin's to play in Philly and score a goal was the SAME NIGHT Selanne broke Bossy's record.

the 3rd period of game six Bruins vs. Habs this past season in the playoffs. few needless whistles, the refs let the teams play, and look at the game we got as a result.

[Hawksfan2828]

This is an odd thread, I have seen alot of hockey but I have to go with John Casey nearly getting a shut out against the Hawks in the Early 90's vs the NHL leading Blackhawks on a routine save with like 23 seconds left in the 3rd or something. Casey skates out of his crease all calm like hes just stretching his legs takes his stick and starts beating the glass with it like his life is endanger.

There has to be a vid of that on youtube...Someone has to have that game on tape I wish I did.

I remember Pat Foley... He was like "here comes Casey, I dont think hes being pulled but he might have an equipment problem"....When he was beating his stick against the glass/boards/ice ect I think Tallon said something amusing I forgot what it was tho.

The real funny part was I was totally about to blow a gaskett that the Hawks were about to be shut out but little did I know that I would spend half of my teens and the majority of my 20's watching the Hawks get shut out an miss the playoffs ..

 

[Long Duk Dong]

His faceoff one was good too, since a reporter called him out on never scoring like that earlier in the day

Orr's pass to Bucyk while on his back.

Joe Sakic's 2nd goal in the 2002 gold medal game
One of the best calls in history

Sakic was a man possessed in that game. What I like about that goal is if he could have made it a two-on-one if he had stayed along the wall but the instance he got that puck, you could just tell he wasn't doing anything but taking the shot.

My all-time favorite play, though, was from the Czech Republic round robin game in that same tournament. Team Canada was playing against Hasek just like they did in 1998; that is, like they thought he was unbeatable.

Then Mario came off the bench and it was almost like he wanted to say, 'hey, this guy ain't unstoppable, I'm unstoppable' and let a wrist shot go from the faceoff circle and scored. I got chills up my spine when that puck went in. After that, Team Canada really picked it up, like Mario had let them know that, yeah, this Hasek guy is good but you guys are playing with Mario Lemieux!
