steve yzermans famous double ot shot

[RollingStonesXx]

"Gretzky had it, lost it" gives me chills everytime. This is my childhood.

[rockeyroad71]

I guess they didn't have straight edges back then, look at that blue line!

[TheCitizenW]

I am a big Leafs fan but this goal gets me every time.

It just makes me so unbelievably happy.

[jnnvsl]

Maple Leafs fan here, favourite goal I've ever seen

[chimburn]

What if Gretzky didn't lose the puck?

[DomBellicini]

lol at the fans at 0:07 then a few seconds later stevie y...do you think that could have been good luck?

[Prankaplegic]

As a die hard Avs fan I gotta give a HUGE amount of respect to Steve Y...we had our #19 too who was pretty good. Sakic & Yzerman were and are to this day 2 of the longest serving Captains in NHL history.

[mistrbrwn]

Stevie Y...a true legend. 

[NessMencesal]

If I was older and could watch this I woulda pulled for St. Louis since DET had beaten the Jets the round before.

Go Jets!

[apxeli]

Curtis Joseph on goal?

[GrassValleyGreg]

@apxeli

I believe it would've been Mike Vernon back then

[bigleaguechew87]

@apxeli Chris Osgood was in goal for red wings and Jon Casey for the blues.

[RyderRocks73]

If I could hear Yzerman's thoughts while he was on the rush leading up to that goal, I would imagine them to be something like, "Enough of this shit."

[RpGfreak901]

I've seen plenty of his goals, but he almost NEVER shoots that far away from the net! And when he does, it's usually saved. The fact that it's so improbable just makes it even more amazing! I love it!

[tmlrlz]

i think theres always the fear that after you score a game winning goal, you're going to suffocate when your teammates jump on you like that, no really i think its pretty damn dangerous!

[MrBlemph]

Suck on that Roenick, you fuckin prick.

[n0ts0smarty]

listening to gary thorne here almost makes me forget about nhls 09 through 12

[gamester501]

lol, huge celebration! was it an important game???

[FacebookMeOnMyspace]

@gamester501 game 6 of the western semi finals...they went on to win their second straight stanley cup about 3 weeks later so yea i would say it was fairly significant

[bwayinlan]

@FacebookMeOnMyspace actually they went on to lose to the Avalanche in the semifinals. However they did come back the next year and win it.

[spitfirecs420]

WOOMPH THERE IT IS!

[magellan5811]

This is a good comments by someone who appears to be a stand up guy. Thank you for the honest comments. Yzerman is a great hockey player and he is missed greatly on the Wings. Thanks again guitarz330

[xTheAceGamer]

This gave me goosebumps.

[GreenDay1981]

This has to be one of the greatest if not THE greatest shots in NHL history. Look how far away Stevie-Y was when he shot that puck and it was an airborn shot too. The crowd is going so crazy, the camera was shaking.

[pancake449]

@Skynasty calm ur fucking dick he made a mistake in the discription

[ethanraikkonen]

Hull was like, damn I gotta join that team one day.

[Syknasty]

this didnt make steve yzerman a legend in hockey town... he was a legend way before that.. who ever posted this video is retarded... change the description stupid cunt

[checkspender]

when did this happen?

[GreenDay1981]

@checkspender 1996, I believe

[Scream42011]

@checkspender game 7 1996 Playoffs.

[alexdomenico4]

Gretzky's last moments in St. Louis... Way to fuck em over and then dip

[stevescorpio78]

My favourite playoff series ever.  If it weren't for Steve Yzerman, Gretzky, Hull, and the Blues would have won the Stanley Cup that year.

[tylerb1085]

i was 10 when this happened. maybe i'm wrong, but i think this is what made me decide stevie y was my favorite player. still gives me chills. great call by thorne, too.

[apdanglez]

yzerman>gretzky any true wings fan would understand this

[kickwagon]

Gives me chills every time.

[AriSparkfist]

Gary Thorne makes this so epic. So epic. Screw baseball, come back to hockey, Gary! The playoffs aren't the same without you!

[gM17cdgm95]

those two guys cheering, before the goal, were the"good luck charms"

[PsychoticButcher]

Woop there it is!!

[jwb864]

will never ever forget this night in my whole life

[lukeallyn]

@ 0:43 is Scotty Bowman yanking that guy off the pile?

[Scott33E]

My mother bought me a Stevie Y jersey years ago, and I still wear it with pride. I remember watching this game. GO RED WINGS!!!!

[xolkan1]

lmao Fail Gretzky,

[jazzguitar2010]

It doesn't get much more "sudden death" than that.

[meds613]

0:06 gretzky u lazy fu*k

[Shamgar560]

I'm not a hockey fan... But I seriously jumped and screamed when I saw that fucking amazing shot... Go my home team :3 (Lives 45 minutes from Detroit)

[sdrawkcabforwards]

i don't remember the blue line being wavy :s

[jacobmcgowan]

best goal ever scored

[guitarz330]

im not a detroit fan. i really don't like the wings but im not gonna say they suck cause they clearly dont. they are the most successful franchise in the NHL. YES THE RED WINGS... not the gay montreal canadiens cause they 24 cups or whatever. im not a red wing fan and i honestly don't like them at all but steve yzerman is one of the best ever and i fully respect this franchise

[kuvaajapoika]

I think that everybody remembers those jumping guys at 0:07 (?)

[dayiansw9]

i guess i am a hater... of some things but i am not a hater of NHL,WHL,Everett Silvertips Washington Capitals,Vancouver Cunucks,Video games, reptiles,computers,PS3's,xboxs­......i think you get the point

[ChuckMAST3R]

@dayiansw9 No, No guessing, you are a hater flat out. Saying the Red Wings suck... with nothing to back it up with...

[Jschwan1]

@dayiansw9 oh ok so your just a douche

[dayiansw9]

redwings suck :)

[ChuckMAST3R]

@dayiansw9

Right.... 11 Stanley Cups, and have have been in the playoffs consecutively the past 19 (about to be 20) years.

You're clearly just a hater.

[Redwingsaretite]

@dayiansw9 hey how about you go FUCK YOURSELF

[templetonbob]

Whoop There it is, what a great 90's Song. Don't look so sad Brett, you'll be on that winning team in '02

[costalot0]

did the wings go on to win this year?

[iwankov4]

@costalot0  I think so.

[ogrebattle22763]

Steve Yzerman was definitely one of the greatest players to ever play the game period.... I'm a Devils fan.......

[hockeyplar]

what was the importance of this goal?? its couldnt be the cup because its versus a west team

[xXLightSpeedXx]

@hockeyplar

1996 Western Conference Semifinals, Game 7. Yzerman's goal in double overtime pushed the red wings into the Western Conference Finals where they would lose to the eventual Stanley Cup Champions, the Colorado Avalanche.

[goalie1131]

Bar-down

[brockskate]

I played at Joe Louis arena as a second year squirt and got autographs from all the wings and Canadian players besides two...a player named Daniel shank and steve yzerman. All the other players were happy to sign for the young players as part of the deal to play at the Joe. I remember watching shank and yzerman walk through a side door to avoid 24 youth players. Thanks for the memories Stevie Y!!

[pkoerner6]

I still get chills watching this every time.

[Jeff6851]

SCORE! STEVE YZERMAN! DETROIT WINS!

[NessMencesal]

0:44 MATTEAU! MATTEAU!

jk rangers suck

[lolNutUpOrShutup]

"GRETZKY HAD IT, LOST IT, YZERMAN PICKS IT UP!!!!"

[sc083127]

No doubt a great goal, but how about Gary Thorn?!! He lulls me into it the goal everytime

[jrmenard630]

whoop, der it is

[D3TROITR0CKC1TY313]

glad to say he was the captain of my home team

[Shucklesmoose]

"Gretzky had it, lost it..."

You could write a 5 page essay on that line alone.

[danglerAS13]

0:52 Brett Hull

[searchengines4fun]

He's my childhood hero:) the reason why all of my sports numbers are 19

[doneintheD16]

@searchengines4fun same, ive been picking 19 every time

[mmeweb3411]

anyone else notice how curvy the blue line is at 0:11?

[zer014]

Fuck one piece sticks, I'm going back to a twig

[unclesam49788]

Haha!!!! Look at the two idiots waving!! There like "everyone watch us miss the greatest goal in NHL history" ('cept maybe Bobby Ore one where he takes the dive) I would have killed to watch that live. I remember my dad let me stay up wayyy too late to watch that, n us screaming at the tv when stevie let that rip, N my mom, screaming at us to shut up, and telling me to go to bed.... I miss ya dad... RIP :")

[TommyyyG]

that place was fucking rocking!

[RNEWMAN19]

Bullet.

[ARMYFUCKER]

When Yzerman let that rip, the great one was skating around like he lost his contacts. LETS GO RED WINGS!

[meds613]

if Wayne didnt fumble that puck it never would have happened.

[gun4hire]

Gretzky turns it over then does a shitty job backchecking. Atta boy, Wayne!

[kamosko99]

"Gretzky had it, lost it"

[StJoesRams09]

Bob Cole's call of the goal was better!

[spitfirecs420]

WOOP THERE IT IS!

[saggster20]

what a clapper

[skilletcrazy]

This STILL breaks my heart.

[bobster231]

this series should of been Winnipeg vs St.Louis

[SpaceGhost76]

that video NEVER!!!!!!!! EVER GETS OLD!

[Metal4Life198821]

best slapshot ever!!

[TheGamegangsta2]

wow the shot heard around the world!!!

[Goblues1980]

*sigh* still hurts watching this :(

[Joemangy1919]

I love this player and love this goal! Not many other goals beat this one. Oh and does anyone else know who turns the puck over to him on this play? yes thats right wayen Gretzky thats who. -1 in a 1-0 game lol

[ben829]

this is (one of the multiple) shot(s) that made steve yzerman a legend

[jokerit911]

The real captain...Yzerman->LEGEND

[milkandmeat]

nice shot, but that should never go in. as soft as goals get right there

[packers256]

@milkandmeat No goalie could have stopped that shot =)

[allstreetproductions]

idiots should wave at the camera more often.

[ronin241703]

He is a hero in hockey town with or without this goal!

[svt32vdohc]

The best goal that I can remember right here!!!

[Jawz4devils]

I think that's the shot that made hockeytown!

[fuji9991]

fucking hated when they played that song. woop there it is, whoop there it is. Waned to fucking murder the DJ at the joe.

[Karmakanuck]

@fuji9991 yeah i dont know eh, no music would have been much better lol just a great moment

[HockeyMX]

my favorite red wings goal ever!! fucking what a shot by stevie Y to win it

[Infeld7]

@HockeyMX

Lidstrom, Stevie Y, Holmstrom, Datsyuk, Zetterberg

Sounds pretty much like a dream team right?

Oh wait, they all played together ON THE RED WINGS.

[HockeyMX]

@Infeld7 haha hell yeah!

[joeyadler2266]

i love how after yzerman makes the shot u never see him in the rest of the video lol

everyone just engulfs him

[metallicaman1000]

just the fact its off gretzky makes it so much better

[MUredhawkshockey]

that still to this day has to be the best slapshot i've ever seen. from that distance, he tucked it right into that corner. Gary thornes voice makes it even better, hes 100 times better than no brains-melrose. Yzerman>crosby Thorne>melrose.

[Rmg478]

I can listen to Gary Thorne say that line all day.

[ripits247]

gary thorne needs to be back doing hockey asap

[PocketHercules99]

That shit was labeled!

[thewhitewhale11]

yzerman was a legend as soon as he put on a wings jersey

[ColdDish1]

Nice effort by Wayne Gretzky

Gives the puck away and doesn't check Stevie Y afterwards LOL

[jordin22rules]

One of the best goals ever scored.

[CanadaBoy123]

I've probably watched this video at least 100 times.

BEST TEAM IN THE NHL!

LET'S GO WINGS!

[rrp1984]

@CanadaBoy123 LOVE YZERMAN, THE WAY HE PLAYED FOR SO MANY YEARS. I WAS LUCKY TO SEE HIM FOR SO MANY YEARS CARRY THIS TEAM. THEN HE GOT HELP AROUND HIM AN THEN HISTORY . WHAT CLASS STEVE HAD .THE WINGS STILL CARRY IT ON NOW EVEN WITHOUT HIM HERE

[AbbathGS]

Unstoppable. One of the best single slapshots of all time! He put some extra oomph on that one for sure!

[Neriyae]

What a beautiful goal...

[zacrampold]

same here, man. this goal was worse than the field goal in 2001.

[nikebauer1993]

love the fact that Gretzky, of all people, gave the puck away to Yzerman, who scored. haha

[IzzyDedjet]

Funny how, not long after this, Hull was wearing the winged wheel on his chest.

[ChrisHortonStL]

i remember this game, im a blues fan, born and raised and this was an incredible game. i still cant believe thats how we lost! gotta love stevie y though, even though i do hate the red wings that guy was incredible.

[Jingling83]

Whooop! There it is!

[Peglash]

great shot ... but Grant Fuhr had a habit of giving up bad goals. The only reason he ever was good was because he had the best offensive line in the history of the game in front of him. Overrated goalie

[lucidatheist]

@Peglash

You really talk a lot for someone who doesn't even know that the goalie in net was Jon Casey and not Grant Fuhr.

[thannigan29]

HAHAHA

[Peglash]

@lucidatheist My bad. But statement about Fuhr stands

[willi2209]

best clapper ever

[CaliSurferzz]

I remember that goal like it was yesterday

Thanks for the great memories Stevie!

[EastSideLetzRide315]

i remember being up till like 2am watching this game! It was the most nerve wrecking time of my life!! GO WINGS!

[shaunspence1]

i also remember this game quite vividly...i was only 8 at the time but my dad was ready to take the blame had my mom been pissed for me missing school the next day just because he knew what an important event it was...and in the end, she wasn't mad because she knew how important it was too.

[BigTenFrenzy]

look at any of sakic's 8 playoff overtime goals, clearly the best clutch player of his era!

[Y2Jalert]

I'm a Blues fan, and this was the worst day of my life. :(

[hockey6tx]

haha gretzky fucked that up he coughed it in the neutral zone

[NathanCharles7]

One Hell of A shot !!!!!! I miss Stevie Y

[nuklz]

what a freakin' shot! the only thing better than the crowd cheering is hearing rubber off the post (for a goal)

[PirateIt]

Who is a faggot? Gretzky :)

[worldwide1504]

Who lost the puck to Yzerman? Gretzky :)

[Ketarhero]

Why do you think Stevie Wonder was and still is the NHL's longest serving captain? His stats tell us he is amazing, but his leadership and putting the team before himself speaks for itself. Hall of Fame, you have accepted the best.

[spongedom96]

the shot heard around detroit

[Beaupre911]

around the WORLD!

[duolcoiram]

lmfao I love the idiots @ :07

[SquadUp5FDP]

LOL they're so famous for doing that at just the right time too! Well not famous, but on this video they've been seen over 120,000 times and on the other ones just as much hahaha classic goal too

[hazemalsaadi]

wow

[dragonnite1212]

funny how he stole it from gretzky

[GarageDoorMan55]

why does nobody have the bob cole HNIC version? its just as classic

[Glonito]

Bill Clement and ESPN hockey....those were the days

[untexan]

0:53 - What were we as a nation thinking when we made 'Whoomp! There It Is" popular? Good God.

[relam13]

Yzerman would still be a legend if he wasn't the hero for this game... Something tells me that almost 20 years as captain would make anyone a legend.

[shithawkguy]

fuck ya. stevies one of if not the best captain the game has ever seen

[khav11]

yes

yzerman is one pf the greatest

but damn howe is so legend too

[jimih64]

@relam13 20 years exactly. Longest stint as captain in major sports history.

[Showmeyourtitties]

@relam13 21 years. He holds the record for most professional sports.

[RedWings1835]

I get goosebumps every single time i watch that shot. Absolutely unreal.

[habsmtl]

most unreal slap shot of all time

[cooneyiscooler]

@habsmtl paul kariyas against nj after being knocked out is pretty close but this ones definitely the best

[reilly1288]

@cooneyiscooler TRUTH!! That shot was absurd

[lmhglam]

This actually costs us the cup...Yzerman F'd his groin up when he jumped up to celebrate....still what a shot

[cronic2001]

actually it was the celebtration and tackling of his team mates

[lmhglam]

yeah him celebrating....if you watch right when he gets back into picture he already started jumping around thats when he did it

[madkiller2death]

even thought i hate the red wings and flyers for life, i think the top 3 are yzerman, gretzky and lemuiex.... GO PENS!

[kingnat2]

Gretzky's a bitch.

[adikillah]

This was Game 7 of the Western Conference Semi Final Match between Detroit and St.Louis in 1996. Amazing shot. One of the greatest OT goals I've ever seen. The announcer did a fantastic job as well.

[1982youthanasia]

I remember this game when it was live. I'll never forget it as long as I live.

[13PDatsyuk]

Yzerman more clutch than gretzky

[hailtothemachine]

um no, 894 goals and 1963 assists might be a little more clutch

[msalyers19]

tht has nothing to do with clutch

he never said yzermans better than gretsky, hes just a better clutch performer.

[msalyers19]

one more thing about gretsky and clutch.

look who coughed up the puck at center ice about 7 seconds in.

[13PDatsyuk]

ummm yes, points and goals isnt clutch as getting ot wins.

[FoxGoalie]

I've seen this like 1000 times and NOW I figured that Gretzky lost the puck in neutral zone... :D

BTW: I think the "sound" of this goal is the best ever.... it's like the announcer and the crowd don't expect anything, SY shoots and the "pling" of the post is like a startsignal to freak out :D

[EIsaacs92]

hahaha yeah if the Pens still had Lemieux, Jagr, Coffey, etc Theyd be unstoppable too! Or what about if the Habs still had Richard, Lafleur, Dryden, Robinson, Mahovlich, and like a million other of their star players? Wow how exceptionally pointless it is to say Oh if we still had such and such?

[UnfixedSNIPERJ]

Ya, and if the Avs still had Sakic, Forsberg, Tanguay, Bourque, Blake, Roy, Kariya, Selanne, they would be unstoppable too.

[bojIM4201]

the aves arent even on the same level as the wings.

u guys fuckd us up in 96 with all those cheap shots..but we got our revenge on 3-26-97

hah
