Most Memorable Canuck Goals


McIlhargey the Lesser

Recommended Posts

I was looking through the Burrows thread and I realized that in my lifetime of watching the Canucks his 'Slaying the Dragon' goal is the one that is the most memorable for me; one that I can best recall in the most detail.  It got me thinking about goals I remember distinctly or that for some reason really stick out for me.  Some are big goals that took us to new heights and some were just interesting or wild.  What are the goals you most remember from watching them as they happened? Post them here.

 

Here are my top five in ascending order:

 

5. Mason Raymond's second goal of his first career hat trick:

 

4. Alex Burrows' short against The Hurricanes that turned around the 08-09 season:

 

3. Daniel's third goal of a hat trick, between the legs, against the Flames that helped Henrik win the Art Ross trophy:

 

2. Bieksa's game 5 OT goal against the Sharks to take us to the finals:

 

And of course...
1. Alex Burrows slays the gosh-darn dragon!!!

Shorty's call on that last one gives me chills every time.

So many...

 

-Pavel in game 7

-Greg ADAMS! GREG ADAMS!

-Jim Nil vs Hawks in '82

-Tiger's Cowboy celebration :^)

Pavel's goal in game 7 is the reason I'm a life long Canucks fan. April 10th, 1994, is one of the greatest days of my life.

For me..it put to rest a half-decade of bitterness towards the Flamin' Flamers, after Otto-Ogre got as dirty as Diego Maradona.("Hand of Gawd" became "foot of filth!")

 

Soccer fans have NO idea what's important in this world!

While most my favourites have been covered by others already, there's another that sticks out to me, only because I was there and it was kind of comical.

 

It was the playoffs (I can't remember which year) against the Jets at the old Pacific Coliseum.  Ronning put one the went over the net, hit the glass, hit Essensa in the back and went in.  Except nobody saw it go in.  There was this weird pause while people were looking up for the puck and it was already in the net.  

 

Good times!
