Favorite playoff OT goals

[Clint Eastwood]

Seems fairly inconsequential but it made the Preds go up 3-0 in a series where they were overwhelmingly not favored to win and set the tone for what would be a run to the finals that no one predicted.

Jackets beating the Bolts 2 years later kind of overshadows just how unreal this upset was to watch and the whole cup run to follow felt the same.

I believe the Preds were down 2-0 in this game too.

That Habs-Kings game was the first full NHL game I ever saw.

I was watching with a friend and his older brother who were both Kings fans. They were not happy haha.

What classic for your first NHL game.

It is the 10 year anniversary of that goal today!

Was that the series where
Krieder had already taken out Price .....and StLouis scored on a no name back up?
Then Rags went on to get smoked by the kings.

The funny thing is the Habs would have gotten smoked by the Kings if they won and Price was healthy. Besides the Rangers were a better team and had a goalie that was Price's equal. The idea that the Habs were guarenteed winning that series much less a cup if Price didn't get hurt is preposterous.

That said Price going down did take my enjoyment away from winning that series.

Then Rags went on to lose three OT games against the kings.

I agree with everything you’re saying except that Price was not Lundqvist’s equal. Henrik was better.


Always liked this one as a neutral.

There's 10 from 1993 that I have a hard time picking from ...

It's been years since I cared about the Red Wings, but this one by a fan favorite was awesome.

Agreed
Kings were far better than either team.
Still was happy to see king Henry and the Rangers go out quickly.

Wasn’t easy seeing Gaborik on a scoring roll throughout those 2014 playoffs and ultimately, the Cup Finals. (He had game tying goals against the Rangers in Games 2 and 5 that sent them to OT) Game 2 hurt since that put them down 2 games to none in the series. We all know what happened on Game 5.

Had a little bit of envy there. But then again, Rangers don’t trade Gaborik, they never get Big Game Brass. So, I guess it evens out.

Nothing else comes particularly close to this one in my mind. It was a perfect intersection of the right player doing the most beautiful thing at the ideal place and time.

That Slay the Dragon goal
Also enjoyed the one where Martinez(?) scored on King Hank, and I think Hank's reaction was what made it memorable (elation in one end, absolute sadness in the other)

Didn't the Canucks almost get reverse swept too?

Brian Skrudland in game 2 of the 1986 Finals scored the fastest playoff OT goal in history when he scored it in 9 seconds from the faceoff

 

[Pablo El Perro]

Another that won't soon be forgotten:

Chucky's waive the team off the ice vs. Carolina is up there too.

Teemu Selanne Game 5 2007 WCF. When he scored that goal I knew we were going to win the Stanley Cup.

I remember being so hyped at 16 year old. Epic game and OT winner.

When’s the last time the Pens wore those sweaters? Iconic

Certainly one of my favorite goals ever... except it was the 2nd period, not OT.
