2002 Winter Olympics Men's Ice Hockey Final CAN vs USA Goal Summary

[@philippelheureux4]

Due to an error when editing, the Iginla goal is missing. My apologies...

[@Jordanmb]

You had one job

[@tinyGiraffasaurus]

don’t matter ‘CAUSE WE STILL WON, BABY! lol

[@KristenHammerback-pk5wy]

It''s ok. We all saw it in other docs and I was fortunate enough to see it in SLC. Thank you so much for posting this!

[@Shawn199816]

Blm

[@yes2208]

Well you better fix it And also add IGGY S assist on the golden goal in 2010 🇨🇦

[@edwardgohl8275]

Don't really ever post comments but honestly the Mario 'non-assist' on the Kariya goal is my favourite moment ever from my favourite player ever. Not sure anyone else in the world makes that play in that spot.

[@ibopwebop]

Its pure genius!!!

[@juliansmith4295]

It's the only time I've ever seen it in hockey.

[@africaRBG]

Marleau made a similar play in 2010 for cory perry's goal

[@memoranda1]

you can really tell Richter froze for a second when he thought Lemieux was the recipient of the pass; but by the time he realized it wasn't Kariya already shot the puck and dove too late. What instincts Mario Lemieiux had........ amazing player. I always thought he was the best player in hockey not Gretzky.....

[@mikehudson6566]

Agree. Smartest hockey play I've seen in 40 years of watching.

[@sayinbruce734]

Jeeeeeeoooooeeeeeee SAKIC!!!! Still gives me goosebumps

[@EarAche123]

Iginla did not get nearly enough credit for this game. He scored twice and was involved in both of Sakic's goals. But he was always humble. What a player.

[@ericlaus4417]

I remember Yzerman always praised Iginla during his playing years.

[@kevinbudzinski9576]

This was the year Iginla became the first player to win the Art Ross Trophy and Rocket Richard Trophy in the same season

[@africaRBG]

Not to mention his assist on crosbys goal in 2010. The guy was just a stud. Plain and simple

[@tchevrier]

Sakic, Yzerman, Iginla. Not a bad line. Not quite Gretzky, Lemieux, Hawerchuk, but a good pretty darn good.

[@ThisIsSiege]

Both announcers never mentioned his name during both goals called him the shooter lol

[@rogerthat309]

That is amazing hockey intelligence letting that puck go through his legs on the Kariya goal. This was a great game.

[@armypea6032]

Completely underrated play

[@thewayfinder9537]

These 2 teams are unreal. So many legends

[@Classicrocker6119]

“Surely that’s gotta be it!” One of the most iconic calls from the legend that is Bob Cole.

[@otaviofrnazario]

Yes... he had great calls for pretty much all the canadian teams, called the Cup Final in Canada for 28 years, but he did not had an iconic moment with the national team yet. After calling the heartbreak of the shootout in Nagano, he deserved that moment.

[@lachlanmclean6752]

One of the greatest games ever played

[@phoenixup9620]

Sakic, lemieux, kariya, yzerman, iginla, etc etc, what a team

[@africaRBG]

Definitely gotta be one of the greatest ever assembled

[@dr.aisaitl7439]

The team with 13 Hall of Fame players with 2 that are borderline, plus very good players like Smyth, Foote, Jovo, etc... Probably best team if they are all in their prime

[@CantdoitWontdoit]

The Canadian dream team!!!!!! 💯

[@Paulman2]

Plus Gretzky in the front office

[@kevinbudzinski9576]

You also had Brodeur in net and Pronger, MacInnis, Blake, Niedermayer, and Foote on the back end along with Nieuwendyk, Shanahan, Peca, Owen Nolan, and Eric Lindros as some of the great forwards too!

[@jupiterjones2005]

Wayne Gretzky was jumping up and down with excitement at the third goal. That’s why we love him.

[@skullcandy005]

He said in his head I wish I was able to be on ice again...

[@shawnhughes4192]

@@skullcandy005 we would have won gold in 1998 if Canada would have let the greatest of all time take a shootout shot. Lindross hit the crossbar and Gretzky would have buried it.

[@tinyGiraffasaurus]

i miss seeing all these guys playing hockey :/ this line-up was godly.

[@siriusleigh24]

Game that saved my life once! Means a lot!

[@philippelheureux4]

How did it save your life? :O

Both absolute beasts during that tournament

[@KalleLagerlof]

I remember this game. Sakic was an absolute god

[@canbest7668]

5:30 Iginla taps the ice faking being a US player, causing a blind pass that led to Sakic's goal

[@F10MTL]

O_o I never even noticed that move, smart player.

... Thank-you ... Iggy was always there so apologies are unnecessary ... truly a incredible game !!! ... crazy day for me ... was to be a day off - no, had to work in the retail pharmacy ... was a clinical pharmacist (hospital) but always on-call in the community ... but that day all the retail pharmacists were "sick" - so I am #1 - RATS - there goes the game !!! ... got to the pharmacy & found a very old clock radio in the stock room - amazingly it worked - even more amazingly I found the pre-game only in FRENCH !!! ... a true MIRACLE because I am French fluent ... was not very busy because everyone was at home watching the game ... the few customers who came joined me as I translated the play ... again, an incredible scene ... but I did not know who the commentators were ... does anyone know ??? ... of-course the commentary was brilliant ... wonderful memories !!! .... likely the best hockey team ever !!!

[@kevinjohnson6685]

Probably the greatest hockey team ever assembled. lemieux, sakic, yzerman, pronger, mcinnis, iginla and the list goes on. What a game, still gives me chills!

[@davidstegne3036]

Its close, that 87 Canada Cup with Gretz and Super Mario was pretty special too.

[@September2004]

That Kariya goal. What a time for Lemieux to debut that move.

[@mikea3273]

Where's the Iginla goal?

[@vinnykurri17]

Lol Smyth just bawling at the end of the video! Gotta love him! I cant believe the last time the best on best tourney was in 2016! Bettman robbing us of watching McDavid and Crosby together on Team Canada. What a tournament this was hilited by Waynes press conference and of course finally winning the Gold medal. Beating the US on their own ice was a nice added bonus! :)

[@otaviofrnazario]

man, I really hope Crosby can hang on for two more years... We can still get him and McDavid. I know he might be not in his best, but still... Crosby is Crosby. We all know his greatness. And McDavid will be there too, God forbidding anything serious.

[@teacheraaron26]

I’m red white and blue all the way, but seeing my favorite player ever Paul Kariya score and win gold somewhat eased my sadness.

.... Mario's brilliance - does not need to touch the puck to influence the game (were you watching Wayne) ... would have enjoyed seeing what Mario would have accomplished with Mark, Yari, Glenn, Paul, etc ... he did not have or need a bodyguard - did not YAP then RUN AWAY ... played like a Super Star & won Stanley Cups wearing a huge "bullseye" ... saw him play 5 times - the "moves" in confined space while slashed/hooked/grabbed was something to behold !!!

I remember when Joe scored his first of this game. The honking and cheers that rung from my neighbourhood were intense

[@awesomematthews349]

"Sakic and Yzerman! What about this duo?" What a great call by Cole

[@otaviofrnazario]

I'll say what about it: two captains, two leaders, two men that led their teams through intense years of rivalry and were, for that moment, united for y'all in Canada. And of course, two techinically great players. In the final especially, Sakic was the uncovered energy wire regarding impact.

[@philojudaeusofalexandria9556]

Joe Sakic is the only member of the "octuple gold" club. He's the only player in hockey history to win all of: 1) World Junior Championship 2) World Championship 3) Summit Series/Canada Cup/World Cup 4) Stanley Cup 5) Olympic Gold 6) President's Trophy (NHL Regular Season Champion) 7) Conn Smythe Trophy (NHL Playoff MVP) 8) Hart Trophy (NHL MVP) The closest is Jonathan Toews; who is only missing the Hart Trophy. Viacheslav Fetisov, Igor Larionov, and Patrice Bergeron have 6; all missing Conn Smythe and Hart trophies. Alexander Ovechkin also has 6, missing Olympic Gold and SS/CC/WC.

[@gymguy25]

The 2 players with the most 100 pt seasons are Gretzky and Lemieux, not surprisingly, next in the list is Dionne with 8 and he did that playing his entire career on mediocre teams, the most Iginla ever got was 98, true, Dionne played in a higher scoring era but Thornton scored over 100 three times while playing in the same era as Iginla.
