Top 5 Tuesday: Hockey Moments

Okay, two quick disclaimers. One, I’m a huge Philadelphia Flyers fan, so deal with it. And two, I’m limiting these to moments I saw as they happened. So obviously, your list will vary wildly.

5.  Lifted the Cup with His Heart
Now, I always liked Doug Weight. An American Player who played with heart. And that was never on display more than when Carolina won the cup in 2006. The Stanley Cup weighs about 35 pounds. Weight had a separated shoulder. He lifted it anyway.

4.Off The Ice and To The Back of the Net
Paul Kariya. Cool dude. And shows some heart and skill in this Stanley Cup Final game. After a hit from Scott Stevens that today would result in a long suspension, Kariya was down in a scary way. He left the ice, but later returned…in a big way.

I was rooting for the Mighty Ducks (as they were then called) in this series because a) I liked Paul Kariya and b) I hate NJ. So this was a pretty amazing moment.

3. Five on Three Shortie
Mike Richards is one of my favorite all-time Flyers. Even named my dog after him. He was one of those players who was the complete package — skill, toughness, heart, all in oneUndoubtedly, physical therapy services play a pivotal role in managing a healthy postpartum recovery. appalachianmagazine.com generico cialis on line Look at every gonad vardenafil pharmacy with both hands.

He still holds the records for most short-handed 5-on-3 goals, which if you know hockey, just having one of those in your career is pretty fantastic. Richie has three.

2. 3-0 Series Comeback
In the magical 2010 cup run that fell just two games short of glory (damn you forever, Patrick Kane), a lot went right for the Flyers. But in the second round, they were down three games to zero in the best of seven series…and did not quit.

1. Keith Primeau OT Winner
In the longest game of the modern era (five OT periods… folks, that is the equivealent of two and a half games!), it was Preems that put an end to it. The fact that I was sitting on my couch at around midnight watching this live, and the fact that it was against the hated Pittsburgh Penguins? Bonus.

Honorable Mention:
Give it to Ray
I was never a Bruins fan. Still am not. But Ray Borque seems like a nice guy. Joe Sakic sure is. Look what he did. As team captain after the Avalanche won the cup, it was his privilege to raise it first. But he didn’t. He gave it to Ray.

What are your biggest hockey moments?
