I had no idea what this even referenced. Ten seconds googling, ten seconds torrenting, and I'm downloading it. I'll put it in the queue. Looks like another Bruce Willis tossoff, but whatever ... light entertainment for a rainy night.

At Sochi Olympics, Team Canada woman's catching up at the last period and winning against Team USA. I can't recall the score, think it was like 3-1 for the USA and our team managed to win 4-1 within the last half of the 3rd period or something. I remember being in the office and we were all watching the game and figured it was over and then they caught up.

Wow I remember watching that. Definitley one of the great moments in football.

Here is another I will remember. This was the biggest bullshit play to win a game ever.
Antonio Freeman MNF OT Shoulder Catch

Wow I like the comment the announcer made... you couldn't make that better in a movie or something along those lines. Wow.


Wow what a terrible punt, and to further it, it looks like it was intentional?


Haha, NFL will not allow the embedded video to play. Also you linked the same Yzerman goal I did 8^), but looks like much better quality!

Mario Lemieux splits the defenders and scores on his back against the North Stars in the Stanley Cup Finals

https://youtu.be/pEdgiPEDa8w

Lemieux has an 8pt night and scores 5 goals every way possible.
https://youtu.be/XDUKvV6v5qw

This is my personal favorite play involving Lemieux - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XT2_gWl9ysQ (Gould was my favorite player growing up)

And let us not forget the glory that was the Mark Sanchez butt fumble - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82RIfy-gRa4

That Colts fake punt fail reminded me of this gem that I will never forget from the Zorn era.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-tqLG__Al4

What that video doesn't show either, is that RIGHT before that, the Redskins did the same play but the Giants called a time out once they saw a fake was coming. And then they did it again after the time out lol.

OP I remember that Yzerman goal as well. Was a Wings fan until we finally got a local team (Predators). I was lucky enough to attend the 3OT game vs. the Sharks this past post season and I just don't see how it ever gets more exciting than going 2,3, etc. OT in playoff hockey.

Anyway, I'm sure they've been posted but my two greatest non-hockey sports memories are Duke/Kentucky 1992 NCAA playoff (entire game, but the last shot is what makes it magic) and Kirk Gibson's HR in the 1998 world series. Both are timeless.
