Darren McCarty 1997 Stanley Cup Goal (60 FPS download link)

[Goblues1980]

And he goes from this to working at a pawn shop.....sad

[Jeremy6663]

choose between this goal or Yzerman's goal in 1996 are you kidding me?! Can;t do it, although Yzermans goal won a series.

[ajohnston0207]

why can't the stadium be this full for every game?? they need to reduce the prices.. its sad to watch on tv, and theres no one there

Stanley*

[curc649]

2 people are flyers fans

[amorningofsleep]

The only two dislikes are Niinimaa and Hextall.

[CoreyPerrySucks]

Ok Wings fans, If you had to choose, which goal was better

This one which ended up being the game winner or Stevies 1996 Game 7 double ot goal against the Blues.

[cursedlemon]

@CoreyPerrySucks Don't make me choose. =( Can't we just agree that Corey Perry is a waste of life?

[CoreyPerrySucks]

@cursedlemon

yea, we can both definately agree on that :)

[CoreyPerrySucks]

Niinimaa and Hextall are now McCarty's bitch after this and forever

[LeamingtonLiberators]

Born and bred in Leamington, Ontario. 

[hockyjocky4]

McCarty better dangle if he's coming in at 8mpg. Hell of a goal.

[xKalamity]

what the shit was hextall doing on that

[jehennem]

I'll never forget that night!... incidentally... my wife just told me today, as a matter of fact, that Darren McCarty just took a job a local Pawn Shop. Serious as shit.... He now works at American Jewelry and Loan on Greenfield and 8 mile road in Detroit. I think I just might go up there and have Darren McCarty sell me a guitar amp '; )

[leafyutube]

Hextall blows.

[MW2QUICKSCOPER156]

the flyers goalie disliked this video

[RKRJ30]

Janne Niinimaa dislikes this video!

[TheDorikin86]

This wasn't even an overtime goal, but Gary Thorne has the ability to make it feel like one :D

[NJDevils914]

Janne Niinimaa, the human traffic cone.

[sean077797900]

This and Datsyuk's breakaway/shootout goals are the best the Wings have had

[dandandamattressman]

Poor. Fucking. Janne Niinima. He got fucking shit on by McCarty...

[dandandamattressman]

I have always wondered this...what does gary thorn say at 0:10...i cant understand exactly what he is saying...sounds like "payback moments ago" but that doesnt really make any sense

[cursedlemon]

@dandandamattressman "A magnificent goal, Darren McCarty!" ;)

[dandandamattressman]

@cursedlemon lol woow i am an idiot

[GOODPLAYA20]

@dandandamattressman he said "a magnificent goal"

[Jasonhuber22221]

@dandandamattressman a magnificent goal!

[houthoofd13]

McCarty draws...McCarty in....McCarty SCOOOOOOORES!!!!....best commentary for the goal

[xDanglesx]

Hextall watched this

[1021247365]

D-Mac deked Hextall out the NHL

[TonyMontanaa1689]

00:29 "Are you serious..?"

[Lwojcik77]

I get the craziest chills when I see this McCarty is a beast

[zjprohouse]

disgusting, sick move by a grinder

[Jammonstrald]

My vote for best goal ever. And I'm a Pens fan.

[kishman999]

pussy defenseman couldnt even break his twig

[ActoneSUCKA]

Poor Ron Hextall.... haha.

[doneintheD16]

Havent seen Crosby do anything close to that the SCF.

[PG487]

Remember it like it was yesterday... Still leaves me speechless

"You can note that with 6:58 left to go in the second period, the celebration has officially begun. Rightly or wrongly, it has begun."

Love it

[conservativeco]

Compare this with the goal a few nights ago by Datsyuk against the Sharks on 11/30/10. It's eerily similar to D Mac's incredible goal here.

[isohockey92]

IT'S SHOW TIME AT THE JOE!

[dtownlove10]

So my buddy calls me the other night so I answer and he is completely drunk. He says he is with someone who wants to talk to me and he hands to phone to someone and its Darren McCarty. Most Bizzare phone call ever.....

[taranchula97]

Why couldn't he sound like this in NHL 11?

[mnieswender]

This is a moment in Red Wing History I will never forget.

[swalte6325]

Miss the days when ESPN called NHL games.  Best announcers by far

[2Gauth]

@swalte6325

Totally agree...Gary Thorne on this call is a big part of why it's still great today.

[aaronthemoose94]

i miss that team.. they were such a dynasty.. the wings are great now and I'll always stand by my team but with Yzerman, Fedorov, Shanahan, McCarty, Lidstrom, Kozlov, Konstantinov, Larionov... we were good. Love the Wings!

[dennyb097]

I remember the late 80's surge to the cambell finals and the heart breaking game 7 losses and sweeps in the early 90's and of course 95, but when Darren scored that goal all that was like it never happened. I was 19 and I associate that goal with some of the best times in my youth. Thanks for putting this on I still get teary eye every time i watch it. GO WINGS

[eskimoenge9797]

I don't know what's better...The goal, or Gary Thorne's commentary for it!

[xKyble]

I remember watching this goal when I was 4 years old. Thanks for the upload.
