[@user-no4fq3ng2p]

i was the cameraman for that handheld replay and that was my favorite moment ever!!

[@Faaz22]

Really?

[@lukeconverse6632]

Of course I remember. I jumped out of my seat. Was crazy when he scored. One of the greatest ot winners ever

[@tmoore4075]

One of the most historic Red Wings goals and they lost in the next round. The Dave Strader call is how I remember it. Thanks for including it. RIP Dave.

[@111voodoo]

Same here, although Gary Thornes call pretty much takes the cake

[@albundy7239]

I was so tired the next day at work

[@crazyralph6386]

That behind-the-net shot was incredible

[@JP18729]

That team in the 90s was like a family, living in Detroit we felt like part of that family. Those few years were emotional to watch here in Detroit.

[@BMWWolf]

100 percent

[@matthewcarlton5693]

Truth.

[@rededd0196]

I woke everyone that night yelling when the goal was scored! In Steve we trust!

[@cmushocker]

I remember my dad made me go to bed after the 1st OT was over because I had school the next day. 20 minutes later, I hear him going ballistic downstairs after the goal. I raced down the steps to watch the replay, it was like Christmas morning!

[@CertifiedClapaholic]

Oof, poor parenting.

[@d.scottjohnstone6813]

Let me start by saying I was at that game and I STILL get tears welling up when I watch that replay! Being from Detroit and spending all the years as a youth watching a pretty dismal Detroit Red Wings team circling the ice THAT remarkable goal was really the beginning of it all! THANK YOU STEVIE "Y"!!!

[@ryanhorvath4476]

I was in middle school at that time growing up in metro Detroit. I remember jumping out of bed late at night running around my house screaming, and celebrating with my dad and younger brother. It’s one of my favorite goals and I feel the same as you do. GO WINGS!!

[@lesevesel2898]

I had just moved to Las Vegas and we had a big 64-inch plasma TV that we just purchased about a month before this game. We didn't any family room furniture yet so all I had was a kitchenette chair for a seat. I barely sat down on it. It was a tense game and Casey was a stone wall coldly shutting down the Wings' best players and shooters. He had the game of his life. So Yzerman jumped the wall for his shift, I quietly said, "Come on, Stevie. Do something, baby." When Gretzky couldn't play the puck and Yzerman picked it up, skated just past the blue line, and fired the puck onto Casey that went in, I was running back and forth in the hallway of my new home, shouting, yelling, cheering on the most memorable goal I've ever seen. I couldn't stop cheering. To me, the only other goal that could possibly rival Yzerman's goal here is McCarty's SCGWG against the Flyers in 1997.

[@MH3GL]

I know Gretzky is "The Great One," but I don't think there has ever been a better Captain than Stevie Y. That man gave everything he had for everyone around him, oozed red and white from his soul, and did everything he could to will his guys to win. There are far more talented Captains that have played, but pound for pound, I don't think that there has ever been a better guy you'd want next to you on the ice when it was time for battle....

[@mangrove]

As Stevie is celebrating, Murray Baron skates by and taps him on the arm. That was classy.

[@synyster__2120]

At 3:32 it looks like he just doesn't realize he's coming and pulls his hand back to avoid hitting him. Not to try to take away from the other guy.

Bob cole was the best at calling games! I remember watching this game…yzerman became one of my favourite players after this 1.

[@B_uttcrumbs]

I was a kid in Michigan at this time, and I thought life was just going to be dope like this for ever. The 90s Red Wings were truly a vibe that can only be understood in their context.

[@matthewcarlton5693]

I was sitting in my crappy studio apartment in an uncomfortable wooden chair (I had no furniture) about 6 inches from the screen, The greatest moment of hockey relief I have ever felt.

[@j.ramsey8863]

What an absolute shot.

[@jameshamele495]

To me, this was the most iconic goal of his career. Loved Stevie y here in hockeytown

[@carlbuchin8331]

Bob Cole’s call was absolutely electric!!!

[@avieus]

This is the mother of all replays

[@wilseph1]

I remember him jumping up and down after scoring. Impressive jumping that high on skates. Mike Foligno was probably hatin'!

[@billythekid22220]

This might be the most perfect shot of all time

[@michaelzilkowsky2936]

It is above the accuracy of the shot Gretzky put over Vernon's shoulder simply due to it being from the point vs the faceoff circle. Gretzky's was good to look at, too, from the behind-Vernon camera...the spot he hit was literally the only spot he could have put it, Vernon was well out and cut down the angle nearly perfectly. Having thus given due credit to both of these shots / goals, there is a similar Mike Bossy against Boston goal with a nearly perfect camera angle from behind Bossy as he tucked one of his half windup slappers between Pete Peeters' arm and body, also literally the only spot he could have put it because Peeters was well out . kzbin.info/www/bejne/fV6ze5SBh9lgmJo Also Bossy's goal against Vancouver in the 82 final, having had his legs pulled out from under him much like Bobby Orr's famous flying goal in 70 (also against St Louis, scored against my best friend's uncle, Glenn Hall, we all hailing from Humboldt... :-) ). Also Bossy's Vancouver goal with 2 seconds left, Snepts inexplicably trying to clear the puck, period, rather than ragging it for the remaining 2 seconds. This is perhaps the single best example of what Bossy did for a living -- score goals. He saw that Snepts was going to clear it up the middle but remained along the boards, lulling Snepts into thinking Bossy couldn't or wouldn't go for a clearing attempt, until Snepts shot..then darted out to stop the pass, rearrange his hands and feet and put one behind Brodeur, who did a very good job of reacting to the turnover and moving out to cut down the angle, but the shot was just too precise. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oKaUeJmXlNKol80& [full disclosure, Bossy is my favorite player....lol] But yes, the Yzerman goal was a thing of beauty.

[@nevilleneville6518]

"Gretzky had it, lost it..."

Yzerman picks it up. Yzerman moving, blue line chance..SCOOORRRRESS STEVE YZERMAN DETROIT WINS

[@pondababa4197]

I love how this is what everybody loves to quote, yet Gretzky barely every really had it. He was intercepting a pass it touched his stick for a millisecond. gtfo

[@matthewcarlton5693]

I had forgotten Gretzky was out there on the ice, makes it even more legendary.

[@stevecormier1514]

You can tell by the angle from behind Casey that he was screened by the shin pads of the left defence man. By the time Casey saw the puck it was too late to react. Amazing

[@smichaels10]

What a rocket!!!

[@andrewgrignon826]

I'll never forget that goal. Uncle Stevie put a charge into that shot. I didn't remember who coughed up the puck until now.. the so-called " great one" was at fault there. He didn't even back check and try and take the puck away from The Captain. As a life-long Detroiter and Wing's fan, this is my top 3 all time favorite Wings memory. This is #2, my #1 is March 26th 1997, "D-Day in Detroit" when Big Mac got even on Claude Lemeiux and all hell broke loose

[@lukeconverse6632]

Gota love Stevie y. And that’s y he is a top 15 player all time

[@kylestevenson2237]

7th all time

[@jamesmonroe7903]

Yes I UNFORTUATELY remember this as a DIE-HARD Blues fan! I’ve gotten over this-cause in 2019 WE WON THE CUP!!!

[@kalebthompson8303]

How about you let Wings fans enjoy this instead of ruining it for them!

[@nutronik9]

I miss that filter remix of Hey man nice shot with the wings clips spliced in.......I can't find it any more

[@anthonykamps2802]

If they ever make a statue of Yzerman at the arena, and I hope they do, I hope its of him pulling back for that shot

[@jamespolnick5302]

i remember being 12 years old and watching this game with my mom, and when they lost to the avs in the next round it hurt so much, we thought our years of pain were over, nope.

[@connorearegood3680]

Watch Gretzky glide after Yzerman. No effort. No challenging the shooter. D-men just standing there too. What a beaut from the Captain though. Legendary!

[@MarioCartMaster112]

What a shot.

[@GSP1999]

CLANK!!!

This was a feel good time for all Red Wings fans

[@kalebthompson8303]

Now it's just turned awful but that is how teams are going to be at times

[@thewaterwarrior9817]

Hell yeah

[@Hull9]

Devastating still. Blues fan here… obviously. I hated Stevie Y for a long time. Always respected his play, but that was a dagger. Ended up really appreciating him when Hull went to Detroit. Much respect, unfortunately in every series one teams gotta win and one teams gotta lose

[@damienchance2622]

I remember Gary Thorne called the game on ESPN I can hear him yell because of crowd.. but it was a good game tho

[@kingirl3901]

This hurts my soul....only took another 20+ years to win the cup finally.

[@bobtwo3948]

I know it's a Canadian based broadcast but still disappointing to see no props given to the best call for that goal. "Gretzky had it, lost it . . ." Gary Thorne blew everyone else out of the water when he was doing the playoffs.

[@mikekole]

Gary Thorne's call is a million times better than this one.

[@zekearmstrong3342]

Well said and 110% agree, that call was better than this one

[@CertifiedClapaholic]

Gary Thorne was the GOAT. Miss his electricity. So bummed he's not calling NHL games anymore.

[@atticablack]

Detroy it!

[@kennywilson5422]

Yeah because it's constantly played everywhere and people going "remember this"

[@MetalDetroit]

What ???! That’s the definition of a highlight reel goal !

[@stevedamien638]

This ain't being mentioned nowhere,, this happened on May 16, 1996 for those who don't and/or weren't born probably.

Notice he didnt go to a full wind up, I think he surprised Casey, regardless what a perfect blast.

Is this the most accurate shot of all time??

[@kftc1980]

If you factor in the distance, maybe. Most goals scored from that distance are soft goals, this one wasn’t.

[@woodsie22]

Yeah, as a Blues fan, not a fan of the clip. We had that shoved down our throats in every single playoff video package since 1996. It would be equivalent to Leafs fans having to see the Gretzky high stick or Sabres fans seeing Hull's skate in the crease every year since. A year and a day ago, I don't know that I would've watched that clip.

[@udhoop]

I know how you feel. For fans of Detroit sports I guess it would be equivalent to Bird stealing Isaiah Thomas' inbound pass during the '87 NBA playoffs. It gets shown over and over and over again! Lol
