Opie 308 Report post Posted June 17, 2008 Valdy being wheeled with the cup is #1 #2 1997 cup #3 1998 cup #4 2008 cup #5 seeing Yzerman return from knee replacement (only player in any sport to have such extensive surgery and return). Dude, I am not trying to correct you, just bring some emphasis to your point, he is the only person under the age of 60 I believe to have this surgery, most people have this surgery with the intent that they will walk normally, not skate normally and definitely not skate NHL caliber Stanley cup leading level. This man is the reason I am a hockey fan and is my number one hockey memory. Some of that has to due with the person that I watched the games with but a lot of that has to due with the fact of how hard the guy played the game. The Vladdy wheel cheer although sad is my number 2. But the career of Steve Yzerman even up until the end where it he takes the puck to the face. This man's career was a testament to testicular fortitude, he easily could have walked away and nobody thought less of him many times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PaVel DaTsYuK fan13 0 Report post Posted June 18, 2008 mine are pretty obviously biased, but I'll give them anyways. BTW, these are specific moments, obviously my favorite 4 would be the cups.

Doug Brown sends game 2 of the 98 finals to OT 1. Macarty's game 4 winner against Philly in 97 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C-TownWing 0 Report post Posted June 18, 2008 I'll exclude Wings stuff, since it's mostly the obvious stuff already cited. Here's my highly personal non-Wings top 5: Kings over Leafs in the 1993 conference final. I had a friend at the time who was from TO and kind of a prick about the Leafs beating the Wings that year. So I enjoyed it immensely when the Kings turned the tables on his team. Rangers winning the Cup in 1994. I was still in my age of innocence as a fan, when I'd be happy about long droughts ending. Admittedly, I'd probably root against them today. Fun team to watch though. Whalers trade Pronger for Shanahan. At the time, Pronger was sort of looking like a flop, although he had shown flashes of being a douchenozzle. Shanahan was one of my favorite players, so as a fan of the Whale, that was a happy day for me. Game 6, Stars vs. Sabres, 1999. My brother is a Stars fan, and I was rooting against him. We came to blows a couple times before I decided to watch the game upstairs while he stayed downstairs. After Hull's goal/no goal (depending on what side you take), I just went downstairs, said "congratulations," and left. Penguins winning the lottery and drafting Crosby. I like the Pens, and obviously this was a major piece of the resurrection of the franchise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
