Your Favourite goal of all time

[Sergei Bure]

What is your favourite goal of all time? Please put video if possible...

 

[Staniowski]

It's not my favourite, but the most memorable goal for me is the Soviet Union's 3rd goal in Game 1 of the '72 Summit Series. Kharlamov skates around Awrey and beats Dryden to put the Soviets ahead 3 to 2.

I don't have just a single favourite, but one of them is this shorthanded goal from Game 1 of the finals of the '87 Canada Cup.

Makarov (Krutov).

My favourite Kharlamov goal...

 

[The Panther]

Well, if I had to pick one, it's probably this one:


This goal effectively won the 1988 Stanley Cup for Edmonton (in the second round). Once this went in to make it 2-0 Edmonton, everybody knew they were beating the Flames. And with that, everybody knew they were winning the Cup.

But there are others...

Just on the aesthetic level, another favorite is Mario vs. the Bruins on April 3rd, 1994. I love this one because I have never seen any goal like it before or since:


The patience and poise of Lemieux is crazy, and then he just casually steps in front of the goalie and snaps it top corner like it was effortless... it's insane.

 

[Staniowski]

My favourite Kharlamov goal...

That's a very memorable goal too. Beauty.

 

[The Panther]

Speaking of Gretkzy, this is a nice one too (poor Al MacInnis!):


(Sentimental choice because I was at this game!)

Makarov (Krutov).

The shorthanded goal in game 2 was way better. Likely the best shorthanded goal ever given the lineup it was against.

Speaking of Gretkzy, this is a nice one too (poor Al MacInnis!):


(Sentimental choice because I was at this game!)

I like how he made him drop with minimal effort and made him look as if he couldn't play the sport at all. Reminds me of Messi.

One of my under radar favourite goals of all time is Bure's SH goal against the St. Louis Blues in game seven of the 1995 SCPs first round series, to make the game 2-0. Him and Geoff Courtnall's brother are circling the high end of the d-zone, making Blues D panicking, the puck gets momentarily lost between Al MacInnis and Bill Houlder, and Bure just flies away and dekes out Curtis Joseph.

I was also relieved, because on the bench after the goal Bure removes his helmet and he's finally cut his hair short again. I was worried after the 93–94 season that he would go all out Jagr.

 

[solidmotion]

i love this goal. pure desperation. short-handed, game-tying goal in the dying minutes of regulation in game 7. overlooked because the hawks promptly blew it in OT.

[MadLuke]

Was still a fan of the Avs in 2001 and the Bourque run felt special.

That Sakic goal (and people know which one already), that did seal the cup:


Bourque creating a bit of chaos in front of Brodeur net, Sakic shooting between Scott Stevens legs, just involved a lot of legends on the ice (Roy in the other net)

 

[frisco]

Watch how he intercepts the clearing attempt right at the start of the sequence.

Ovi's actual most impressive goal:

 

[Summer Rose]

Perfect storm of the combination of factors involving an incident earlier in the game, it coming in the finals, for the home team, by one of my favorite non-Coyotes of that era, the emotion of Gary Thorne's call, and so on and so forth, etc...

"OFF THE FLOOR, ON THE BOARD! PAUL KARIYA!"

 

[Brodeur]

Not sure if it's my favorite goal, but it made never fails to make me laugh.

Goal itself was nice with Patrik Elias letting the centering pass go through to Adam Larsson. But the cherry on top was Elias avoiding celebrating with his buddy Petr Sykora who ends up falling on the ice. Elias laughing about it at the end of the clip is great.

A few of my favourites.

Pete Mahovlich in Game # 2 of the ‘72 Summit Series:



Gordie Howe’s final NHL goal — a 52 foot backhand by a 52 year-old legend.

 

[Sergei Bure]

Yeah, my favourite Lemieux goal...

 

[Sergei Bure]

Ovi's actual most impressive goal:

My favourite Ovechkin goal...

Pete Mahovlich in Game # 2 of the ‘72 Summit Series:

Great goal but i prefer Henderson winning goal of Game 7

 

[Austerlitz]

The McDavid goal against the Rangers combined aesthetic beauty with pure hockey adrenaline with did-you-just-see-that bafflement better than any other Ive seen.
