@@mostimusic2616ikr. Like team Canada looks stacked until you look at the goalies. When you have Stuart Skinner as a potential goalie. It’s not looking goof
@@garrettobrien5197 I mean, Skinner was serviceable enough to get the Oilers to the final round of the playoffs. With our offense as busted as it is, we ideally won't even have to depend on goaltending all that much.
People who didn't grow up watching Crosby will never be able to appreciate just how dominant he was. While he certainly had his fantastic 1v1, 1v2, 1v4 etc highlights coming off the rush, he wasn't pretty and consistent like McDavid is now. Crosby was dominant in the corners and down low, plays that you'll rarely be able to find on highlight reels. It's a highly underappreciated area of the ice. And Crosby was better than anyone. There's a reason why he is often referred to as a "Superstar Grinder". During his prime, Crosby was nearly impossible to knock off the puck down low. It was something special to watch.
he was very consistent, he just had injuries and the NHL was slightly different back then more physical for sure. I mean his PPG was top 5 all time before Mcdavid now his is 1.25 you can't call that inconsistent at all LMAO.
I honestly think Crosby is the best grinder to ever play hockey. He might be the best two way player ever too, but I think he has competition with players like Yzerman and Fedorov. He might be the 2nd smartest player to play after Gretzky too.
@@cndngoose Love Iggy. I am obligated to hate Calgary because of the circumstance of my birth, but I can't hate Iggy. Worked hard and gave everything he had.

As a Canadian part of me wants to thank Zach Parise for tying it, sure if he didn't and Canada went on to win 2-1 it would've been awesome on its own and probably saved us a lot of stress but because the US tied it, it allowed for the creation of one of the greatest moments in Canadian hockey history and a moment and a feeling I think every Canadian watching will remember for a long time, those 2 weeks in Vancouver were special and this moment caped it off perfectly
It was quite the tournament and quite the ending for us Canadians. Props to Ryan Miller too, look at full careers he is not superior to Marty or Lou but was the most impressive goalie during this particular tournament I think, even in the loss
@@robertpeters6108 Miller won MVP of that tournament! He shut the door for the US team. It was such a minor footnote of the Canada gold that no one even knew about it

I mean Canada obviously had an absolutely legendary team in 2010, but when you look back at the team USA roster, it's comical to think they were not also considered a Gold Medal-potential team because that roster is absolutely STACKED.
@@UnhappyPensFan Stacked isnt the word Id use, but well-oiled might be arguably better.

@@UnhappyPensFan Not to the extent of team Canada, but a lot of their younger players at that time weren't really considered top players yet but were on the cusp of breaking out, like Parise, Kane, Kesler etc. No to mention Ryan Miller was at the top of his game.

"CROSBY SCORES! SIDNEY CROSBY!! THE GOLDEN GOAL!!!" is burned into my brain. Watched this game when I was 10, can still remember it years later. Was the first Olympics I watched too. I was so happy to be Canadian that year, and I still feel so blessed to have witnessed this game live. I'm terrified for 2026. US has come such a long way in terms of hockey and I wouldn't be surprised if they become the new juggernauts of the sport. But for Canada...we'll always have this.

Lol, one of the ways we cope with the fact that no Canadian team has won the Stanley Cup in over 30 years is the knowledge that the majority of each American roster is Canadian… so you’re forgiven, methinks
Great breakdown again. I'm actually so pissed that I don't even remember watching this game as a kid. I was 6 years old in New York and my parents said we were screaming so loud when Crosby scored that all the neighbours heard us. Can't believe this faded from my memory.
Same here!! I was 7 years old in Vancouver and all I remember is standing in the corner of the living room (because I was too excited to sit down) and screaming like crazy at the end
I'm an American from Chicago. Back then, my hockey team was playing in a tournament at one of the only rinks in the area with a TV in the lobby. Our game ended with about 5 mins left in this Gold Medal game. We get off the ice, the squad is all chillen, taking our time in the locker room, thinking we're about to lose to Canada. Then our coach comes back in to tell us Parise tied it up & it's bout to go to OT. We hurry it up, then head to the lobby just in time for puck drop. It's packed to the brim with people watching. Seeing Sid the Kid score that game winner was gut-wrenching. What a moment. 😔. Congrats to all the Canadians 🙏.
You did a great job scripting this memory!! I'd totally forgotten about that thumping of Russia and OV earlier in the tournament. Gold medal game, I remember being 23 and taking the GO train downtown Toronto and watching the game at Elephant and Castle on Queen St. The bar was absolutely PACKED to capacity, everyone standing shoulder to shoulder and the tension was insane. The place went absolutely nuts when Sid the Kid scored. The party poured into the streets. Happiest I've seen Toronto after a hockey game. That 2010 Team Canada roster was an absolute beast, loaded with clutch superstar players all entering or in the middle of their primes. As a Canadian hockey fan, I'm not sure another Olympics or sporting event will ever top the 2010 Vancouver games.
We’re spoiled here in Pittsburgh for sure. After being a little too young and living in a poor household, I never got to really see Mario in his prime. I’m very thankful I got to see Crosby and co do their thing. He absolutely is one of the all time greats and McDavid has a long way to go to be at the table with Crosby as Sid has accomplished so much in his career that McDavid just hasn’t done yet.
You mean team accomplishments right? Because individual accomplishments Crosby only has McDavid beat on Maurice Richard trophies(most goals). He has 2 McDavid has 1.
Hearing "Sydney Crosby! The Golden goal!" makes me tear up everytime. Truly one of the most incredible moments of an already incredible Olympics that probably will never be topped.
I’m so glad I found this channel. Incredible script writing, footage, music and story telling ability. What a channel. Can’t wait to dive deep into all your videos!
I was working on the broadcast team during the Olympics and those of us who weren't working the game were watching on the screens in BC Place before getting prepped for closing ceremonies. That moment was incredible, everyone just lost their minds. So many great memories working the Olympics but that was obviously the pinnacle of it all.
I was in the middle of Afghanistan listening to this game over radio broadcast. I didnt get to see the Golden Goal till much later. Will always remember the game sitting alongside my American friends. (im Canadian)
Reminds me of My dad how he was on business in salt lake city during the 2002 Olympics. He was at a restaurant watching the gold medal game surrounded by Americans. He cheered so loud and kept giving it to them and taunting them
I remember watching this at 7 years old. Having Crosby trading cards and jersey. Being so excited Crosby won Canada gold. Every time I revisit this game, brings a tear to my eye
I'll never forget this day. Hour drive to a late game out of town. We were listening to the game. We got to the arena about 45 minutes before the game and both teams were in the parking lot listening to the game on the radio in their own groups at teammates vehicles. When Crosby scored that goal it was about 15minutes before we had to be on the ice and we were still in the parking lot and everyone in the parking lot erupted. That game we played you could see the passion and excitement in every player. It was incredible.
I am so grateful for this video. 🙏Canada's Hockey is GREAT, Hockey is OURS, Hockey IDentifies us, let us embrace again how amazingly MAGNIFICENT Canada hockey is: Players, Coaching Teams, Management, Owners, FANS, Leagues, etc., This narration is one of the best videos I have found that will lift our pride whenever we watch it. GREAT JOB!
Man alive, this channel has taught me *so* much about this game and expanded my love for it. And the history that I missed -- what a treat to learn about and understand it now! Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Hey did you hear about the crazy weather system that’s been developing? Meteorologists have detected another weather pattern originating from the Edmonton Area that is likely to impact Calgary and the surrounding area. Torrential rainfall is expected to impact the previously mentioned areas, likely to amount anywhere between 50-100mm. The rain has been detected to mostly consist of the tears of Oilers fans, which consists of a salty and bitter complexion. Health Canada strongly advises for all contact and consumption to be met with moderation and caution, as higher doses of second hand dihydrogen copium monoxide can potentially lead to an spiked increase in laughing at people with Oilers flags on their car as they drive by.
I remember being away on a hockey tournament that day as a kid, and I’ve never heard a hotel bounce and move so much when Crosby scored the game winner. It was electric
What a trip down memory lane. Those Olympics were such a huge thing at that time in my life, especially being from the lower mainland. I was only 9 and had mostly forgotten that game other than how it ended. Thats the only clip you ever see and its tainted by a horible goaltending play. Adding in the lead up is the only way to properly appreciate it and you've done that fantastically as always! 👏
I was 17 years old while Vancouver 2010 happened and I watch every sport, but this moment was the golden highlight of any Olympic Gold medal I have ever watched. This and probably Shawn White winning Olympic medals was spectacular. Best moments 🇨🇦
Your style of narration and overall quality is so unbelievably good man. Your videos were the reason I got into hockey this past NHL season. Keep up the great work! Much love from Germany
My school played this game in the auditorium. The entire school came down to watch. It was one of the most amazing sports moments of my life. I truly felt so much pride in Canada after this goal.
I remember watching this game in '10, it was just incredible. My whole family watched together and it was a spectacular moment, one i'll always remember :)
That goal made me feel like the little kid I was when Gretzky and Lemieux did their thing in the 87 Canada Cup. Can't forget Hawerchuk's faceoff win and Dan Kelly in the booth, my fav moment in Hockey. This was right up there!
I pat myself on the back when I remember telling my father-in-law and wife when O.T started, matter-of-factly, "Crosby is going to score in OT". It wasn't even a question in my mind. Some guys just have it in them to rise to the occasion when it matters and they are always the safe picks. Whether quietly or with swagger it doesn't matter, you just know they are going to get it done.
Yeah one time the Vikings shanked like a 35 yard field goal to lose and I remember watching it standing up and a good five seconds before the snap I said out loud "he's going to shank it" and then HE DID
Every time I watch this moment it gives me chills. My brothers, my dad and I all went nuts! "SIDNEY CROSBY, THE GOLDEN GOAL! AND CANADA HAS ONCE IN A LIFETIME OLYMPIC GOLD!" I hadn't liked Crosby since he came into the league, thought he was overrated, but this moment changed my mind. Beautiful pass. Beautiful goal. Beautiful moment.
This was my favourite game in all of hockey history. It may be the only time i really saw all of Canada come together as one and i don’t think ill ever see that again. This game and that golden goal is so dear to my heart. I literally almost tear up watching it
I was 16! That Olympics is one of the coolest times in my life as a Canadian sports fan. And this win was really the icing on the cake! So many good wins that year
I will never forget sitting at home with my dad watching this game. It was absolutely INSANE how stacked Canada was. When Crosby scored our drinks and food went everywhere but it was awesome.
Amazing breakdown as always. That clip gives me chills. BTW, really like your editing style of talking about the play, then clip in fullness as it was originally.
Such a vivid memory for me, I was 11 years old when I watched this game with my 18 year old brother at the time and his girlfriend. My brother said to me before overtime, "If Canada wins, we're going to get ice cream." We went nuts when Crosby scored and went immediately to McDonalds for ice cream. I guess two miracles happened that night, this goal and the ice cream machine was working.
This game is my fondest hockey memory (as a watcher) whole extended family packed downstairs and watching the game on a projector, still remember everyone jumping around and screaming the moment the puck went in the back of the net like it was yesterday
I saw a comment talking about the US and the miracle game and how traffic stopped and people honked. Well folks this game was the same for me in 2010, i remembered leaving a ski hill with the game going into the 3rd and having to listen to the rest on am radio. When we scored and won it trucks and cars were blairing horns waiving to each other and were so amped. Love how this game brings nations together... god i love hockey
I love these kinds of videos. The Olympics prior to this so 2006 also had a rivalry in the finals between Sweden and Finland. Would it be possible to make a similar breakdown of that game?
Syd was my favorite player growing up and I'll always remember watching this go down while roller blading, sliding on the concrete basement floor with my knee pads, pretending like I was playing. When he scored that I remember the delay between the basement and upstairs tv, i started freaking out then the house began to shake with all the laughter and jumping a few seconds later. what a time.
I am an American who played hockey and in 2010 my hockey career was essentially over I was 19 and decided to pursue higher education and I was in Xi'an, China for an exchange program and I watched the gold medal game by the 2,000 year old city wall, it was a magical feeling and I knew the game of hockey was in good hands when Crosby scored the game winner. I ended up playing ice hockey in China but man I will never forget that moment.
I remember watching this game, 8 years old, in the living room with all my family on the edge of our seats. Only other time there was this much excitement watching hockey was 2023 World Juniors with Bedard.
This is a core memory as a hockey fan in Canada from the East Coast. Didn't even notice it was in for 2 seconds then freaked with my family. Will always stick with me.
Literally as an American I'll always love our neighbors..still best friends with a Canadian I served with on deployment...but we both agree that Team USA was special...and that gold medal game was an absolutely beautiful showcase of competitiveness
I was 23 when this took place. Me and my girlfriend watched it in my living room by ourselves. She knew absolutely NOTHING about hockey but that game was just so intense that even she was yelling and screaming at the TV. One of my best memories ever.
This was such a fun time to be a young hockey fan. 2010 World Juniors in Saskatoon was a great buildup to the Olympics with the 2 teams facing off in prelims and then a legendary gold medal game. I remember being so hyped for the Olympics coming just a few weeks later. As an American who was in 8th grade at the time AND a Sabres fan, it was the coolest thing to see our best player in Ryan Miller steal the show at the tournament. Remember thinking, "wow they really have a chance of winning this thing" after USA won the prelim game. Got home from a bantam playoff game just in time to turn this one on with my dad, was an incredible game. While USA didn't get the win like we were hoping for, I still feel lucky to have watched this game and remember it vividly.
2010 was good, but the 2002 gold was the one that’s cemented in my memory forever. That 5-2 thrashing after all the shit talk from the Us before was poetic
Sid was so good so young so fast, younger & faster than anyone in NHL history not named Gretzky. And he got there with unprecedented hype, expectation and pressure in which he not only met but surpassed.
holy shit man.. watching back all these angles, its insane how close that play is multiple times.. First sid with the poke to iggy which is like .2 seconds from being blocked. then as he is covered by a man and falling down, iggy barely threads the needle past a recovering Rafalski's stick, only to pass it kind of behind sid.. but not only does sid recover the puck, he then goes on to beat miller (and a still valiantly trying Rafalski) in close at an awkward angle.. what an amazing play, topped off of course by the legendary call of sir Chris Cuthbert
People outside of Canada don't realize how many of us watched that game. Roads and highways were empty. We all were in front of a screen, and when Crosby scored the OT winner, I swear if you were outside you would have heard those screams of joy everywhere!!
I remember I was a teenager working in the electronics department at Superstore during this game. We put the game on all the display TVs, all the customers in the store at the time acme to watch overtime with their shopping carts and everything. Place erupted when Sid scored, was epic
that first goal by Canada is pure poetry of their game. checking, skill after the turnover. just bang bang bang goal. i had a great feeling with that goal. they were swarming
Pulled brodeur for luongo lmao what a stacked roster
It was almost unfair. I mean, the US had Miller, and Thomas in net, so they were no slouches.
Compared with the current Canadian goalies 😢

Shit as Sharks fan we had 5 players on the Canada team but I was still rooting for the US and Pavelski.
Lol, one of the ways we cope with the fact that no Canadian team has won the Stanley Cup in over 30 years is the knowledge that the majority of each American roster is Canadian… so you’re forgiven, methinks
@@JesterRace139 5 players isn't one Crosby though.
as most of us did! I still cheer for canada to this day only in hockey! Just cant go against my favorite players!
Great breakdown again. I'm actually so pissed that I don't even remember watching this game as a kid. I was 6 years old in New York and my parents said we were screaming so loud when Crosby scored that all the neighbours heard us. Can't believe this faded from my memory.
So strange, my memory of this was faded as well yet I was 12. Amazing moment regardless
I dont blame you it was a loss for me all i remember is iggy name begin shouted by crosby
Same here!! I was 7 years old in Vancouver and all I remember is standing in the corner of the living room (because I was too excited to sit down) and screaming like crazy at the end
I was 6 aswell, parents said we watched it but I don't remember unfortunately
Way too long a breakdown
I'm an American from Chicago. Back then, my hockey team was playing in a tournament at one of the only rinks in the area with a TV in the lobby. Our game ended with about 5 mins left in this Gold Medal game. We get off the ice, the squad is all chillen, taking our time in the locker room, thinking we're about to lose to Canada. Then our coach comes back in to tell us Parise tied it up & it's bout to go to OT. We hurry it up, then head to the lobby just in time for puck drop. It's packed to the brim with people watching. Seeing Sid the Kid score that game winner was gut-wrenching. What a moment. 😔. Congrats to all the Canadians 🙏.
You did a great job scripting this memory!! I'd totally forgotten about that thumping of Russia and OV earlier in the tournament. Gold medal game, I remember being 23 and taking the GO train downtown Toronto and watching the game at Elephant and Castle on Queen St. The bar was absolutely PACKED to capacity, everyone standing shoulder to shoulder and the tension was insane. The place went absolutely nuts when Sid the Kid scored. The party poured into the streets. Happiest I've seen Toronto after a hockey game. That 2010 Team Canada roster was an absolute beast, loaded with clutch superstar players all entering or in the middle of their primes. As a Canadian hockey fan, I'm not sure another Olympics or sporting event will ever top the 2010 Vancouver games.
We’re spoiled here in Pittsburgh for sure. After being a little too young and living in a poor household, I never got to really see Mario in his prime. I’m very thankful I got to see Crosby and co do their thing. He absolutely is one of the all time greats and McDavid has a long way to go to be at the table with Crosby as Sid has accomplished so much in his career that McDavid just hasn’t done yet.
You mean team accomplishments right? Because individual accomplishments Crosby only has McDavid beat on Maurice Richard trophies(most goals). He has 2 McDavid has 1.
@@lAmCanad1an Hockey is a team game.
Hearing "Sydney Crosby! The Golden goal!" makes me tear up everytime. Truly one of the most incredible moments of an already incredible Olympics that probably will never be topped.
14 years later and it still gives me chills. Best game I’ve ever watched in my life.
The most iconic goal in Canadian hockey history
I mean. Paul Henderson?
The most iconic pass in Canadian hockey history.
No Golden Pass by Iggy = no Golden Goal
@@JesusFriedChrist The Gretzky to Lemieux pass in the 87 Canada Cup is also pretty legendary.
Top 3 i'd say.
@@JackBirdbath Mario's finish on that one wasn't too bad either ; )
I've seen snippets of this game so many times over the last 14 years and it still gives me goosebumps. "IGGY!!" Is iconic.
I’m so glad I found this channel. Incredible script writing, footage, music and story telling ability. What a channel. Can’t wait to dive deep into all your videos!
These vids are AWESOME!❤
Watching this game live was of the flashbulb moments in my life. I watch the clip of the "golden goal" every few years to relive it.
I was working on the broadcast team during the Olympics and those of us who weren't working the game were watching on the screens in BC Place before getting prepped for closing ceremonies. That moment was incredible, everyone just lost their minds. So many great memories working the Olympics but that was obviously the pinnacle of it all.
I was in the middle of Afghanistan listening to this game over radio broadcast. I didnt get to see the Golden Goal till much later. Will always remember the game sitting alongside my American friends. (im Canadian)
Hell yeah thanks for your service!
Thank you for your service. 😊❤
Thank your for your service. Great story
Reminds me of My dad how he was on business in salt lake city during the 2002 Olympics. He was at a restaurant watching the gold medal game surrounded by Americans.
He cheered so loud and kept giving it to them and taunting them
Glad you highlighted the work Iggy put in.
These olympics broke my heart as a Team USA fan but as a hockey fan it was terrific.
I remember watching this at 7 years old. Having Crosby trading cards and jersey. Being so excited Crosby won Canada gold. Every time I revisit this game, brings a tear to my eye
Very cool to see which players are still playing in the nhl
I will never forget this game. Edge of my seat the entire time. I damn near jumped through the roof when Crosby scored that goal.
I’ll never forget watching this live. My whole family was gathered around the TV and it was incredible!
Brings tears to my eyes every single time I relive this game... the 2010 Olympics were incredible and this moment will live on forever.
Please do more of these history pieces!
I'll never forget this day. Hour drive to a late game out of town. We were listening to the game. We got to the arena about 45 minutes before the game and both teams were in the parking lot listening to the game on the radio in their own groups at teammates vehicles. When Crosby scored that goal it was about 15minutes before we had to be on the ice and we were still in the parking lot and everyone in the parking lot erupted. That game we played you could see the passion and excitement in every player. It was incredible.
I am so grateful for this video. 🙏Canada's Hockey is GREAT, Hockey is OURS, Hockey IDentifies us, let us embrace again how amazingly MAGNIFICENT Canada hockey is: Players, Coaching Teams, Management, Owners, FANS, Leagues, etc., This narration is one of the best videos I have found that will lift our pride whenever we watch it. GREAT JOB!
Growing up watching Sidney play gave me such pride as a Canadian. Such amazing moments and brought so much glory to Canadian fans
Man alive, this channel has taught me *so* much about this game and expanded my love for it. And the history that I missed -- what a treat to learn about and understand it now! Thank you, thank you, thank you.
This upload feels therapeutic after the recent Oilers loss.
Hey did you hear about the crazy weather system that’s been developing? Meteorologists have detected another weather pattern originating from the Edmonton Area that is likely to impact Calgary and the surrounding area. Torrential rainfall is expected to impact the previously mentioned areas, likely to amount anywhere between 50-100mm. The rain has been detected to mostly consist of the tears of Oilers fans, which consists of a salty and bitter complexion. Health Canada strongly advises for all contact and consumption to be met with moderation and caution, as higher doses of second hand dihydrogen copium monoxide can potentially lead to an spiked increase in laughing at people with Oilers flags on their car as they drive by.
Nah, the Oilers loss was also a great Canadian moment for everyone outside of Edmonton.
Always makes me teary eyed. I watched this with my dad at 11yo and when the buzzer went off his picked me up and swung me around the room. Core memory
One of the most iconic games of hockey ever.
I really enjoy the storytelling in these vids. Keep it up!
I remember being away on a hockey tournament that day as a kid, and I’ve never heard a hotel bounce and move so much when Crosby scored the game winner. It was electric
What a trip down memory lane. Those Olympics were such a huge thing at that time in my life, especially being from the lower mainland. I was only 9 and had mostly forgotten that game other than how it ended. Thats the only clip you ever see and its tainted by a horible goaltending play. Adding in the lead up is the only way to properly appreciate it and you've done that fantastically as always! 👏
I was 17 years old while Vancouver 2010 happened and I watch every sport, but this moment was the golden highlight of any Olympic Gold medal I have ever watched. This and probably Shawn White winning Olympic medals was spectacular.
Best moments 🇨🇦
Your style of narration and overall quality is so unbelievably good man. Your videos were the reason I got into hockey this past NHL season. Keep up the great work! Much love from Germany
I still get chills from that game
Man. Years later, and i still get chills and tear up a bit.
My school played this game in the auditorium. The entire school came down to watch. It was one of the most amazing sports moments of my life. I truly felt so much pride in Canada after this goal.
On a Sunday?
This content is what's going to get me through the off season. Keep up the great work.
I remember watching this game in '10, it was just incredible. My whole family watched together and it was a spectacular moment, one i'll always remember :)
The golden goal. Legendary moment. I had my red team canada Crosby on as he scores that
That goal made me feel like the little kid I was when Gretzky and Lemieux did their thing in the 87 Canada Cup. Can't forget Hawerchuk's faceoff win and Dan Kelly in the booth, my fav moment in Hockey. This was right up there!
I pat myself on the back when I remember telling my father-in-law and wife when O.T started, matter-of-factly, "Crosby is going to score in OT". It wasn't even a question in my mind. Some guys just have it in them to rise to the occasion when it matters and they are always the safe picks. Whether quietly or with swagger it doesn't matter, you just know they are going to get it done.
Yeah one time the Vikings shanked like a 35 yard field goal to lose and I remember watching it standing up and a good five seconds before the snap I said out loud "he's going to shank it" and then HE DID
Thanks for the great insights! Best analysis of this game I’ve ever come across.
Every time I watch this moment it gives me chills. My brothers, my dad and I all went nuts! "SIDNEY CROSBY, THE GOLDEN GOAL! AND CANADA HAS ONCE IN A LIFETIME OLYMPIC GOLD!" I hadn't liked Crosby since he came into the league, thought he was overrated, but this moment changed my mind. Beautiful pass. Beautiful goal. Beautiful moment.
This was my favourite game in all of hockey history. It may be the only time i really saw all of Canada come together as one and i don’t think ill ever see that again. This game and that golden goal is so dear to my heart. I literally almost tear up watching it
I remember watching this game and I will never forget this goal. Great video!!
It will forever be a “where we’re you” moment for Canadians. I was watching in Mexico!
Fantastic video, can’t go wrong with the format.
I was 16! That Olympics is one of the coolest times in my life as a Canadian sports fan. And this win was really the icing on the cake! So many good wins that year
Amazing video yet again. Amazing storytelling all around in every video. Best hockey UA-camr of all time
I will never forget sitting at home with my dad watching this game. It was absolutely INSANE how stacked Canada was. When Crosby scored our drinks and food went everywhere but it was awesome.
Thanks for this awesome video man. I never realized how complex that goal was but I do remember how clutch and swift it felt. Really good breakdown.
I was outside watching the game in Vancouver that day, and still, this video gave me chills like that day back in February2010.... Well said, sir!
Amazing breakdown as always. That clip gives me chills.
BTW, really like your editing style of talking about the play, then clip in fullness as it was originally.
Such a vivid memory for me, I was 11 years old when I watched this game with my 18 year old brother at the time and his girlfriend. My brother said to me before overtime, "If Canada wins, we're going to get ice cream." We went nuts when Crosby scored and went immediately to McDonalds for ice cream. I guess two miracles happened that night, this goal and the ice cream machine was working.
This gave me goosebumps. I was 11 when it happened and still remember this like it was yesterday. What a legend
This game is my fondest hockey memory (as a watcher) whole extended family packed downstairs and watching the game on a projector, still remember everyone jumping around and screaming the moment the puck went in the back of the net like it was yesterday
What a wonderful trip down memory lane! I always get chills when I hear Chris Cuthbert calling a play too!
I still get chills. I was 10 when this happened. I remember it so thoroughly.
I saw a comment talking about the US and the miracle game and how traffic stopped and people honked. Well folks this game was the same for me in 2010, i remembered leaving a ski hill with the game going into the 3rd and having to listen to the rest on am radio. When we scored and won it trucks and cars were blairing horns waiving to each other and were so amped. Love how this game brings nations together... god i love hockey
Being a NFL fan never really watching hockey, this was the game that turned me on to watching hockey till this day. What a amazing game.
Brilliant video. One of the ultimate sporting moments of history.
I'll never forget watching this game. I was in grade 12 and the following day alot kids wore their team canada jerseys. It was epic
I love these kinds of videos. The Olympics prior to this so 2006 also had a rivalry in the finals between Sweden and Finland. Would it be possible to make a similar breakdown of that game?
your videos are so well made!
you have really re ignited my love for hockey. thanks
your videos are so appreciated, best hockey analyzer page on yt!
Syd was my favorite player growing up and I'll always remember watching this go down while roller blading, sliding on the concrete basement floor with my knee pads, pretending like I was playing. When he scored that I remember the delay between the basement and upstairs tv, i started freaking out then the house began to shake with all the laughter and jumping a few seconds later. what a time.
Great little film. Deep Rewind vibes. I would love more hockey history in this style
I am an American who played hockey and in 2010 my hockey career was essentially over I was 19 and decided to pursue higher education and I was in Xi'an, China for an exchange program and I watched the gold medal game by the 2,000 year old city wall, it was a magical feeling and I knew the game of hockey was in good hands when Crosby scored the game winner. I ended up playing ice hockey in China but man I will never forget that moment.
I remember watching this game, 8 years old, in the living room with all my family on the edge of our seats. Only other time there was this much excitement watching hockey was 2023 World Juniors with Bedard.
This is a core memory as a hockey fan in Canada from the East Coast. Didn't even notice it was in for 2 seconds then freaked with my family. Will always stick with me.
Literally as an American I'll always love our neighbors..still best friends with a Canadian I served with on deployment...but we both agree that Team USA was special...and that gold medal game was an absolutely beautiful showcase of competitiveness
I was 23 when this took place. Me and my girlfriend watched it in my living room by ourselves. She knew absolutely NOTHING about hockey but that game was just so intense that even she was yelling and screaming at the TV. One of my best memories ever.
Love these types of videos and breakdowns! Keep it up!! 👏
Very good video. Great Content.
This was such a fun time to be a young hockey fan. 2010 World Juniors in Saskatoon was a great buildup to the Olympics with the 2 teams facing off in prelims and then a legendary gold medal game. I remember being so hyped for the Olympics coming just a few weeks later. As an American who was in 8th grade at the time AND a Sabres fan, it was the coolest thing to see our best player in Ryan Miller steal the show at the tournament. Remember thinking, "wow they really have a chance of winning this thing" after USA won the prelim game. Got home from a bantam playoff game just in time to turn this one on with my dad, was an incredible game. While USA didn't get the win like we were hoping for, I still feel lucky to have watched this game and remember it vividly.
2010 was good, but the 2002 gold was the one that’s cemented in my memory forever. That 5-2 thrashing after all the shit talk from the Us before was poetic
Sid was so good so young so fast, younger & faster than anyone in NHL history not named Gretzky.
And he got there with unprecedented hype, expectation and pressure in which he not only met but surpassed.
Sidney Crosby, the kid who lived up to all the hype. a forever canadian legend. THE GREATEST junior prospect in hockey history
holy shit man.. watching back all these angles, its insane how close that play is multiple times..
First sid with the poke to iggy which is like .2 seconds from being blocked. then as he is covered by a man and falling down, iggy barely threads the needle past a recovering Rafalski's stick, only to pass it kind of behind sid.. but not only does sid recover the puck, he then goes on to beat miller (and a still valiantly trying Rafalski) in close at an awkward angle..
what an amazing play, topped off of course by the legendary call of sir Chris Cuthbert
People outside of Canada don't realize how many of us watched that game. Roads and highways were empty. We all were in front of a screen, and when Crosby scored the OT winner, I swear if you were outside you would have heard those screams of joy everywhere!!
Thanks for putting some hockey history, love to learn
Great breakdown of this epic moment of hockey history
Extremely well done. Loved the breakdowns
I was 14 when this happened! I'm so happy I got to witness such a Canadian historical time. Especially since I'm also from Nova Scotia!
I remember I was a teenager working in the electronics department at Superstore during this game. We put the game on all the display TVs, all the customers in the store at the time acme to watch overtime with their shopping carts and everything. Place erupted when Sid scored, was epic
I’m so glad someone finally took what secret base does and put a focus on hockey. Great videos
Such good video, great job.
that first goal by Canada is pure poetry of their game. checking, skill after the turnover. just bang bang bang goal. i had a great feeling with that goal. they were swarming
I freaking love this channel, man.
