it was vs. edmonton, i believe. he was one-on-one against lowe (i think) and the oil had pulled their goalie. yzerman skated over the red line and flipped the puck over lowe, who went to the ice to block the shot, into the empty net.

i know I've seen this, but i can't find the video anywhere.

help?

I remember seeing an interview with Kevin Lowe regarding this play many years after the fact - it might have even been for Yzerman's retirement. Anyways, Lowe said that after this game, Yzerman sought out Lowe outside the dressing rooms and apologized, saying that it was a cocky play and claiming he shouldn't have done it. Shows what a complete class act Steve Yzerman is.
