#nhl #hockey #hockeytraining
In this video, we break down what may have been the greatest hockey game ever played between Team Canada and Team USA. Known for the Golden Goal scored by Pittsburgh Penguins Captain Sidney Crosby, we take a deeper look into how one broken play, created one of the greatest moments in hockey history.

Still gives me goosebumps 13 years later. "Sidney Crosby the GOLDEN GOAL" Will forever be an iconic line that any Canadian who got to witness it will take with them forever !

[@bobprescott]

yes it was

[@FaNGPaCT]

This is one of those games that if i could experience again for the first time i would

[@SMG2fanatic]

Still stings for me 13 years later

[@brettrossi034]

I remember this Olympics fondly. It sucked for me seeing USA lose the game, but it still was a wild finish that I can't help but respect it and admire it. Canada earned that gold and USA did walk away with silver

[@stephenross8177]

I just felt the goosebumps too

[@the1andonly759]

That call still gives me chills/ I forgot how great the rest of this game was too. The breakdown was top notch too🔥

[@hockeypsychology]

Thanks for watching!

[@mlucyk]

My mom’s cousin (Cuthbert) called that game. Best sports game or TV event of my life by far. Not because Cuthbert called it.

[@MAgo-xr2zr]

Im an Aussie that grew up not knowing what ice hockey was. I started following team Canada that year when I caught their first round game randomly, after watching this gold medal game, I’ve been a die hard hockey fan ever since. Best sport in the world !

[@Brotarv]

I was a Canadian living in Australia, I remember watching it first thing in the morning, and going out in my Canada jersey after to celebrate. All the Canadian’s were wearing there jerseys and all Australian ether cheered with us or looked at us like we were crazy. Which we were haha.

[@aberamagold7509]

I'm a Canadian living in Canada, and after that goal, you could hear people yelling from their houses and cars honking their horns. Ok, the drivers honked the horns because cars can't do that on their own. Unless the car's name is Herby, and he's a lovebug. Damn that last bit was cheesy 😂😂

[@brupic8968]

you will be smote if you say ICE hockey in canada. i've been to melbourne twice...nowhere else in oz. i lived in japan on and off for 19 years became a big sumo fan. also met a guy from melbourne who became a great friend. he was a yuge aussie rules fan. got me interested in the sport which is, i think, a great one. follow essendon. i also had a girl friend from wagga wagga.

[@woozertoo]

Iginla needs more love for that pass.

[@Sadokist]

Crosby's attention to detail is the most impressive bit. His stop, start, acceleration effort is what creates the separation. That isn't luck... That's creating space, which he does with his power - that's skill. No one else sees the ice like that, and even less can act on what they do see in this situation.

[@ryanbencze]

every canadian knows where they were when this happened. to say it was a goal of a lifetime is such an understatement. still 13 years later watching the play unfold and hearing iggy and hearing the iconic call of the goal gives me goosebumps

[@acemoneymaker8242]

I don't but I was 3 lmao. I can imagine I was with my step dad watching

[@stevencooke6451]

I do....and recall going out to the Danforth with our fourteen-month-old child to the Danforth in Toronto (Yonge St was too far away). What I also remember is not being sure for a few seconds if the golden goal rule was in place. Crosby threw his gloves up as Chris Cuthbert referred to it as being a "golden goal". I could barely hear the announcers anyway. I can't imagine having to go through an entire overtime clinging to a one-goal-lead.

[@cohengamertv6548]

Me who was like 4 months old

[@jimbeanz219]

I remember where I was, on the ice having the worst timed hockey practice in existence.

[@MandatoryFruit]

On the hardwood floor in my living room, laying right in front of the TV next to my best friend at the time. I don't remember a lot about my childhood, but I could never forget that moment.

[@hawky225]

100% a core memory. I doubt any Canadian who watched this game live has forgotten where they were when this golden moment happened.

[@andrewdouris6035]

Was at the casino in Ajax ON. watching it while i played blazing 7's lol. The big screen was right in front of me.

[@jimknox8720]

I was on a snowmobile trip with my big bro and some pals in the kawarthas, we stayed an extra nite so we wouldn’t miss the game!!!❤❤❤😊

[@yourlocalbi9811]

12 years old, watching in the basement with my dad. My mom had left the room because she was so nervous. A favourite childhood memory for sure!

[@DJFlozone]

The audio recording of Vancouver's ambient sound from that moment is incredible.

[@tyt5603]

Ive been blessed enough to watch Sid whip his gloves off in excitement FOUR DIFFERENT TIMES. I am a lucky fan.

[@ronfroehlich4697]

Same here, plus, one time I saw him whip off his gloves and fight Brandon Dubinski while I was at a game in Pittsburgh

[@randoir1863]

This game was the best players from both countries. NHL team mate vs team mate all over the place. As it's been said, " Don't go where the puck is , go to where it's going to be ."

[@stevetobias9097]

Current Canuck goalie vs future Canuck goalie in their home Canuck arena!

[@amadeoman]

This whole olympic run for team Canada is a core memory

[@sup4303]

yeah, not even just hockey

[@stephenwakeman9889]

Still gives me chills every single time I hear that call. Maybe some watery eyes too

[@hockeypsychology]

Greatest call.

[@drewmoff]

I was in downtown Vancouver a few blocks from the Arena when this went down! It was an amazing scene. Everyone chanting GO CANADA GO! Giving each other high fives and hugging. I lost my voice for 2 days from the celebration 🍾

[@campion04]

What a place to be in dt van that night. The celebrations afterwards have been unmatched, only topped by when the Canucks won the cup the next year.

[@Goperslop]

@@campion04 Won the cup?

[@campion04]

@@Goperslop yeah. Everyone knows it. We won in 2011. We did. Don’t believe the news. We did. 100%. No need to reply if you believe in fake news. We did. We did I tell you.

[@drewmoff]

Canucks are trash 🗑

[@GettingHyphy]

Goosebumps and even tearing up seeing this. Great throwback breakdown

[@Bubbles_Bubbles_Bubbles]

I remember watching and feeling the almost overwhelming excitement when we tied it up with seconds left in regulation. I also remember the deflation that came with Sid sending this one home. That Crosby sure is good at hockey.

[@DogoodPOG]

Got to watch this with my Dad and family , sadly dad pasted away later in the year but was able to spend this day with him and see how happy he was !! I will hold this memory close still gives me goose bumps when i here "The Golden Goal". Thanks for making this @Hockey Psychology brought me back to a good moment in my life.

[@scottbrowne7488]

The Golden Goal! What a line that was. Not sure if he just came up with that on the spot or what, but it was epic! Great breakdown man!

[@hockeypsychology]

Thanks Scotty!

[@EbikingViking992]

Pretty sure he didn't, unfortunately, it's a term I've mostly heard in soccer the winning goal in sudden death OT is referred to as the Golden Goal

[@MidnightScout]

I’m gonna be 60 years old, this goal will be half a century old, and I’ll still be telling where I was, who I was with, and how it felt. Canadians who watched will never forget. Because, by God, it was THE Golden Goal.

[@yesmccauky748]

I remember hearing Luongo himself say that he was actually going to freeze the puck prior to giving it to Niedermayer. Niedermayer called for it and then passed it to Crosby and the rest is history!

[@benjaminmiller788]

I don't 'Like' too many KZbin videos but this is one of my favorites

[@st0rmchild]

That was one of the greatest games I've ever seen. I was in Vancouver. My entire neighborhood erupted after the goal, and shortly after that there were mobs of people wandering around the streets cheering for hours. What a great day for Canada, and therefore the world.

[@vancguy9204]

I was going through the outdoor security for the closing ceremonies. Suddenly, the security guards started cheering, people on condo balconies started cheering, and we knew we had gold! Inside BC Place the audience - us- rehearsed for the closing ceremonies. Once complete, they announced there was time to show the overtime for gold. 80,000 went nuts when they saw Crosby's arms go up! Pure joy!

[@BKHockeyTalk]

American, watched this game at the dining hall at my university. Was 18 and a freshman, such a shitty result from my perspective. But I have lifelong friends I made sitting there watching these Olympics. One of my buddies is a Florida panthers season ticket holder now with me and wasn’t a hockey fan before this Olympic tourney in 2010… NHL is fumbling so hard not allowing us to have this best v best every four years. They’ll continuously shoot themselves in the foot marketing wise… 🥴

[@hockeypsychology]

That’s awesome to hear! You are bang on about the NHL… they are fumbling it hard…. Lol

[@kevinalexander6812]

Yeah. The NHL can't pour pee out of a boot with instructions written under the heel.

[@my3dviews]

As long as Russia is banned from all sports competitions, we still won't get a best on best tournament, even if the NHL allows it. Canada and Russia were for the most part the top two countries in hockey for the last several decades. Without them, it wouldn't be the same.

[@michaelb7491]

The NHL has been doing that for over a hundred years.

[@nonokayakjack]

​​@@my3dviewsussia would not make it to a best on best now. That is Canada vs USA territory. And at age 55 I remember the days when all the American players in the NHL could be counted on both hands!! No joke.

[@TayR0C]

I member that I had to work and I thought I was going to miss the end, but Crosby scored five minutes before I had to leave for work. Got to watch history with my parents. A quick celebration, then off to work.

[@tapartacus]

What a great break down of an unbelievable goal! I remember it like it was yesterday and yet I was still nervous with anticipation by your commentary

[@erwinschrodinger7116]

I remember pacing in my living room as soon as overtime started - as I do when a game really matters to me. I still recall raising both arms and hooting when I saw Sid score... and I am not usually that vocal watching a game. Awesome memory! On a related note, I remember I was travelling in Florida during the Salt Lake Olympics (2002) and was at Epcot during the gold medal game. I was trying to find somewhere to watch it, and asked a few people. If they were American they typically said "what gold medal game?" or "is USA playing?". Eventually I found it... at the Canadian pavilion of course. :)

[@32whyte]

The salt Lake city game was the big one for me, with Waynes press conference to build everything up. You should do a video on that one next.

[@zeebaa6]

This is probably one of your best videos. Def one of my favorite. Excellent

[@norvanman6125]

I was at the airport when the game was on talking to Mike Gillis. Trevor, Stan and John Weisbrod were there too. We were on the same flight to Chicago. Weisbrod (an American) was streaming it on the plane until he was told to shut it down just after the US tied it up. Much to Weisbrod's joy. We were in the air when the golden goal was scored and the Pilot announced it. The cheers were deafening.

[@23mylo60]

I remember being in high school watching the game live with the entire school, was in the cafeteria on a projector, everyone got out of class to watch live, the school erupted when he scored the goal, it was absolutely amazing and one of the best hockey memories, hopefully we’ll get another chance to witness something like this agaib

[@RolandKaufmann]

I was in the living room at my dad’s place. When the puck went in it was pandemonium. Remember sprinting outside cause of the adrenaline. Everyone one was going nuts. Cars were honking in the streets for a good hour. Having that moment and then the Canucks 2011 run were the 2 greatest years of my hockey viewing life.

[@kantstenchonthemel5641]

I discovered hockey on french TV in 1980 Olympics (famous "miracle on ice") and have been hoocked to the game ever since. in 2010 I was rooting for Canada because of players like Bergeron and Crosby... and because I'm french of course (we always have a soft spot for Canada... and moreover I'm a Leafs fan.)

[@dirtymunny]

Thanks man. Was good to re-live this moment.

[@markgaudet3606]

Greatest hockey day of my life. We watched it in our family room between the semi-final and gold medal game of my Son's Atom hockey tournament and I was coach. We left shortly after to play the GMG and won the tournament. My greatest hockey memory ever.

[@Jraw72]

Nice breakdown bro! This is hands down, my favorite sports moment of all-time. Still gives me chills, even after 13 years!

[@joshewert13]

Lived in Vancouver during 2010 Olympic’s. We were 20 of us watching live. Best memory to date. Afterwards we went downtown and everyone, I mean everyone was full of joy and for a day we all felt connected. Best Canadian moment we all felt.

[@leonardoaugusto5159]

I'm from Brazil and started to watch hockey in the middle of the pandemic. Even trough i'm 32 there is so much iconic moments that i were not able to follow and even just to saw this goal were never enough to make me feel why were a big deal. But i loved your video, the buildup to reach the moment of the goal was amazing, i would love a series of moments like these and the breakdown, it's helps me to see the flow of the game and the little details that as a newbie following the sports, i'm just not aware of. Thx for your work, love from Brazil.

[@Chonny_Boy]

1987 Canada Cup Winning Goal - Gretzky to Lemieux - the most memorable goal for me!

[@Andykevin29]

Two superstars connecting for an iconic goal. What a pass by iggy while falling to get that to crosby and beauty finish.

[@23mylo60]

McDavid deserves a chance to compete in a setting like this in his prime🙄

[@hockeypsychology]

Agreed

[@st0rmchild]

Damn right. It's a crime against humanity that we don't have the best hockey players in the world at the Olympics anymore.

[@TheKaffin8ed]

I wish i had these videos as a kid as I never played organized hockey. The analysis helps point out the otherwise unnoticeable things that good and great players do that make things happen.

[@tytn9978]

Thank You for this trip down memory lane! I watched this game with friends at their home, and I remember it as a game of fast-changing emotions, from joy to despair to hope, and then WOW! To quote a great snooker commentator: "You couldn't have made it up!"

[@modernwarfaremaniac12]

I usually watch every video but this one was your best. Do more of these!

[@hockeypsychology]

Thank you! What would you like to see?

[@jackhanley8174]

wonderful job man. this video reminds me a lot of the Secret Base "Rewinder" series, which is some of my favorite content on KZbin. Keep it up!! Would love to see more just like this.

[@guillaumepelletier2658]

It definitely has some inspiration but it really lives up to the standards. Great video, great memories.

[@kiriyamathelama1809]

Keep up the good work really like this format / video style. "Moment in hockey history" how we got there and what came from it .

[@zakomama6430]

Gives me goosebumps every single time I see it. I lived 1 hour drive from where this took place at the time and still to this day, it is the greatest goal i've ever seen in my life.

[@jaidenstowers8314]

watching this vid gave me chills. i was 7 and remember enjoying the mario and sonic olympic games and wasn’t much of a fan of hockey but ik how high the stakes were. looking back, international hockey needs to return to this. super teams facing off in gold medal games

[@Mirrale]

I was about ten rows up from where Crosby scored. One of the best moments of my life.

[@jimknox8720]

That’s amazing man! Great you were there! I was at the juniors gold win in Edmonton against the Finn’s last summer! Nothing like being at a great gold game!

[@chrislewis1749]

As a sports fan this was the best moment for Canada and the Olympics. To have Sidney Crosby score the winner was priceless. The kid at the time was calm and cool boom

[@AnthonyD1986]

Great video, for sure one of the most iconic hockey moments of all time.

[@colintapping261]

Watched this in North Vancouver with my buddy. Immediately jumped on the seabus after. The scenes we saw in the streets of Vancouver 30 minutes later were something I will never forget. Such and amazing moment

[@andrewgremlich]

This olympics got me into hockey!!!

[@hockeypsychology]

That’s awesome!

[@romainlavoie1526]

VERY VERY WELL DONE ! Indeed what a fantastic moment in sports. And that gold medal sealed the deal for Canada to finish first in the medal standings. I was with my spouse both watching the game and we jumped in joy when Sid The Kid made magic for Canada ! Many thanks also to Jerome's efforts on the play . Remarkable !!!

[@cherylbilney3128]

Still makes my heart race. I was In my family room and was so excited. I almost fell into the wood stove. I am from Cole Harbour, and we love Sid. In my office for many years was the team pictures of both the Men and Women's Gold Metal Team Photos. So.proud to be a Canadian!!

[@boots_33]

What about the 1996 World Cup of Hockey? 😏 I remember this game vividly. Bummer that we lost, but you couldn't ask for better quality hockey. One of the best tournaments of all time.

[@my3dviews]

The world cup of hockey never got the same status as the Olympics. Outside of Canada, no one really seemed to care about that tournament. Even in Canada I don't recall a lot of enthusiasm for it or talk about it after it was over. Nothing compared to the summit series in 72, or the three Olympic gold that Canada won in the last twenty plus years. Then in the last world cup, they made two all star teams, one for Europe and one for North America. That to me was a mistake, especially with the N.A. team. Who in Canada or U.S. wanted N.A. to win? McDavid wasn't happy playing for N.A. and said that he wouldn't do it again if there was another W.C. with N.A.. It was a bit more understandable for Europe to allow good players from smaller European countries to be in the tournament, but no reason for the N.A. team.

[@fluffyscruffy]

Great video. man! Def has vibes of rewind series by SB nation. Well done.

[@hockeypsychology]

Thank you!

[@CaptainBoban]

Not the most iconic goal in hockey history, but might be top 5!

[@sup4303]

what would be your top 5?

[@CaptainBoban]

@@sup4303 There are many great iconic goals, I'm not sure about the order, but I think these would be my top 5 if the importance of the goal is taken into consideration. Otherwise goals like the Ovi behind his back while sliding away from the goal, definitely would make the list. The Crosby winner in 2010 The Brett Hull stanley cup winning goal The Bobby Orr stanley cup winning goal The Forsberg penalty in the 1994 olympics The Lidstrom Winner 2006 Olympics This is from the top of my head maybe I'm overlooking a goal or two...

[@dawnsempire8510]

i was watching this game in my family's living room. we all were. i was so devastated (again!! Red Wings fan) by Crosby that i completely forgot about all the other details that led up to this moment, especially Parise tying it up late. you awakened some deep memories because i had flashbacks when you recapped the rest of the game. 😂

[@AdrianWan]

incredible storytelling and breakdown, thank you!

[@ElyseGiroux]

I remember being a Crosby fan girl at the time and everyone was all for Ove and "Crosby as a fluke, not strong enough, too fragile, etc". That moment changed everything, Crosby scoring the winning goal for our country PLUS he had a broken ankle at the time if I remember correctly. Suddenly, everyone around me where a Crosby's fan.

[@hockeypsychology]

Sid had a knack for proving everyone wrong

[@MGSDude01]

I was almost 16 back then. Detroit native watching the game so obviously the 09 finals still stung a bit on top of this one. Then to think Fairy Dettman won’t even allow NHL players to compete in the Olympics anymore for “protection” sake. Game for the ages but one of the biggest heartbreaks in my lifetime.

[@donaldmacgregor2545]

Old Canuck living DownUnder here. I was in Nelson, New Zealand in a heritage house we lived in for a while near The Brook. Though we're in Aussie now, we still have that house and I can see/smell the room in my mind, all kauri wood and high ceilings, heavy curtains and drafty as old Kiwi houses tend to be. The TV signal was crap and I only had sound. Early in the game, upon observing the intensity of the game, an announcer from England remarked "see here, these lads are out to hurt each other" Yup. Despite every level of interference on the airwaves, I heard Crosby yell "Iggy" and the rest they say is history. But I'm old enough to remember Paul Henderson's goal in Russia in the first Canada Cup decider. I was in the library at my junior high school in Parksville BC and the whole school was watching a grainy small black and white TV with the sound cranked to distortion. Both times, this crusty Canadian teared up. Just a game? I now hope to live long enough for a Canadian team to win the Stanley Cup

[@raylucas4281]

Absolutely loved how you broke that down and I do remember...but being a much older man late 50's would love to see how you break down Paul Henderson's goal in the summit series. Great job!!

[@bob644]

Historically the 1972 summit series (Canada vs USSR) was more monumental

[@JohnNonnyMusic]

Great video 🔥 was living in my mother’s basement at the time watching on a live stream & never screamed so loud when that goal when in, jumping with elation, still a great memory 🇨🇦🥇

[@urgrandmascar]

I tear up whenever I watch these golden goal replays.

[@patrickdavies8430]

I remember this like it was yesterday watching it from my seat in the rink it was an experience I’ll never forget.

[@whynarwhal]

This is a great breakdown. I would also love a more in-depth background into Crosby's playing the rest of the tournament and why it was such a big deal that he scored the goal after going pointless in two games. It just made it even more momentous that he pulled it off

[@carlberryman2665]

As much as I love the World Junior's, I'll never forget watching this at the MTS Centre on the Jumbotron here in Winnipeg. Still get goosebumps watching it. Thanks for the amazing vids, bro. You're making me love hockey again!

[@hrd2imagin]

I remember watching this game at a restaurant/ bar in the North Hills of Pittsburgh. I had just taken my 5yo daughter ice skating for the first time. We stopped for a bite to eat and got to watch Sid score the golden goal. The whole place was so excited Sid won it. What a great day!

[@scooter29]

This feels like yesterday. Blew the roof off my house. Sids legend status grew to new heights this day. A great Canadian.

[@dudeisgame]

A Canadian “Where were you when moments?” Sidney Crosby the Golden Goal still gives me the hockey chills when I hear it.

[@emperoralvis6559]

I watched this game when I was 9 years old. Pure nostalgia.

[@AlekWheeler]

Paul Henderson in 72, Mario Lemieux in 87 and Sidney Crosby in 2010…a trifecta of perfect goals for Canada.

[@timhawkins4956]

This was second only to my generational goal for Canada. The 87 Canada Cup. I watched this and knew it would be Sid. A generational moment cementing the bond we have for our country's Sport.

[@emperorggs3248]

Still makes me all misty eyed. One of the best moments in hockey history

[@jacknone1564]

Watched this game at a pub in Busch Gardens on vacation. Deep in enemy territory. The barbs from the rest of the crowd couldn’t dampen the excitement. Great moment.

[@thefinaldispatch]

Yzerman’s double OT game winner against the Blues was also a broken play. When it happened I was crushed because I was cheering for the Blues. The next day at school we were that was the craziest goal I’ve ever seen. Now it’s my favorite goal ever scored. Off a broken play

[@thehistorybehind1858]

I love the vid, love the analysis leading up and everything. I'm no pro, but I do with you would have showed a few replays with different angles. Great vid tho

[@wongfamily4584]

My son and I were at the game... 2nd row, centre ice, beside Canada's penalty box. We were given two tickets because at the time he was a 7 year old kid with cancer... and he looked it... bald, feeding tube in his nose, etc. The timekeeper gave us the puck from the 2nd period.... we still have it. I like to think that Sid's Golden Goal and the entire Canadian team helped give my son the strength to fight his health battle because, 13 years later, my son is a healthy young adult who has put cancer behind him. So, for me, this was the best game I have ever been to... period.

[@curtisder]

I remember I was at work - I'm not sure if I went there just to watch it or it was after actual work. It was at a recreation facility and I was at the bar/lounge. There were just a couple co-workers there. When Crosby scored, I never jumped up so fast. I threw my hands up in the air in celebration. The goal was so fast in real-time that this was the only reaction that I was a bit surprised this turned out to be a goal. Bartender then brings everyone shots haha Like a lot of others, I get the chills thinking about this.

[@unclebitchie]

I’m old enough to (barely) remember Paul Henderson’s goal against Russia in the ‘72 Summit Series, and I definitely remember Gretzky’s pass to Lemieux to win the Canada Cup in ‘87. Both of those goals were as big for Canadian hockey fans as this-some older fans might say even bigger. That being said, however, I’ll never forget how great it felt watching Sid score this one. Such a great game and great moment in hockey history.

[@m7blitzcrank70]

Great video I think you should do more videos like these especially for the world juniors

[@killmesoft64]

being in downtown Vancouver when this goal was scored was absolutely amazing, the atmosphere was electric! the whole 2010 Winter Olympics was unbelieveable.

[@lauriharjula]

Absolutely EXCELLENT commentary. In every video. Including this one. Thank you!

[@lauriharjula]

ps. I was a five years old at the time of this legendary game and maybe I watched a bit of it, maybe not. I don't have much memories from that period of time. I loved every kind of sports since my first breath so it is a great possibility that I watched this game, or at least a part of it.

[@kartikrajsingh1895]

I was 6 about to be 7. I don't know why but my dad who was never really into hockey was keen to watch this game. I got into it and there began my hockey journey.

[@kirk2859]

Excellent job. 1987 Canada Cup. Canada down 5-3 to the USSR. We tie it up. Less than 2 minutes left and the score is 5-5. Gretzky to Lemieux. 6-5 That was pretty epic as well! 🎊🌟🎶🎉💥😄

[@JackArctic]

Awesome video! reminds me of those rewind videos about football. It'd be sick if you could do this for Bedard's goal in the WJC.

[@hockeypsychology]

Love that idea. On the list

[@dana102083]

Watching this brought tears to my eyes again, just as it did back then. Sid the Kid, that goal will be remembered by Canadian hockey fans eternally!! ❤

[@mafmaf6417]

I remember this like it was yesterday. I still get goosebumps watching this.

[@jomac841]

I literally screamed when Crosby scored. Drove everyone else nuts. But damn this was such an amazing moment to witness! ❤🇨🇦

[@MarocTreasure]

I was in Australia…watching about 9am on Monday morning. Never forget it

[@ryukiT3]

I have such good memories of this game. Life long hockey fan, and professional dancer. I was performing in the closing ceremony of the Olympics right next door at BC which was set to happen right after this game. So we were doing dress/tech rehearsals. But they played this game on the jumbo Tron of BC place. The entire closing ceremony staff was watching this game inside BC place. It was a blast.

[@daviswinkelman7705]

Great video. Keep it up

[@drugsmadilla]

As a 17 year old American I remember watching this at home, so pumped when Parise scored to being absolutely demoralizing with my heart in my stomach when Crosby scored that goal 😢

[@NeilEvery]

I was at a hockey party in an apartment in Vancouver's Gastown neighbourhood. The party was silenced when the US tied the game and forced OT. Everyone was sooo stressed! Then the Golden Goal... What I will always remember will be what came after. All you could hear across the city was screaming and cheering. We went up to the roof of the building and that sound- it was incredible. Then everyone erupted onto the streets. I've never had so many high-fives and hugs from random strangers. I never expected to see people doing "keg-stands" in the middle of the street. I never expected to see one of the city's busiest intersections shut down by a game of spontaneous street hockey. Incredible once in a lifetime memories of the game and the entire Olympics. I personally got to see Team Canada play one of the qualifying matches with Germany as well as the womens' semi-final game.

[@kota3233]

Was cheering for team USA. Me and dad jumped from the couch when Parise got the goal. I wasn't a pens fan so by default not a crosy fan so him scoring put a little extra salt in the wound. Best game still I ever watched on TV.

[@horilka96]

I remember this goal, not live but I remember it for very unfortunate reasons. I was in Bantam, our team lost an important game and our coaches scheduled a practice right in the middle of the Canada vs USA game for a bagskate. Told us if one person didn’t show up, the rest of the team would be doing the J-drill the whole practice. Of course, one teammate didn’t show up and we were bagskated. Coach was looking at highlights on his phone and gave us the news that Crosby scored and we cheered but we were pissed off that we missed it for a lousy bagskate. I’ll always resent our coaches for that, seeing it live was so special for everyone and my teammates and I had to watch a highlight later that day.

[@ramcgowda]

Excellent analysis. Thank you.

[@broadstreet21]

I didn't think this goal was more iconic than the Henderson goal - but then again, it was something else when you break it all down.
