Darren McCarty - Spectacular Hockey Goal, 1997 SCF

[rickspinellicool]

as an 8 year old flyers fan, i will never forget screaming at my tv at janne niinimaa. Look at 1:16, look at his fucking ankles. holy shit. almost 15 years later and the only thing i do now is laugh.

[Ahmazement724]

my favorite hockey player ever i have a jersey signed by him and multiple things signed by him i even have a detroit lions season ticket holder pass signed by him :D

[howzerqwerty]

I remember watch this as a kid being a huge red wings fan being able to stay up pass my bed time sitting on the couch with my dad.

[bishoppx]

4:35 is that Bam Margera?

[BloggerMusicMan]

Definitely one of the nicer playoff goals in the history of hockey, and by a grinder too.

[oncepwnd]

Sweet mullet on Engblom. The goal wasn't too bad either.

[Temezkin47]

To that day Janne Niinimaa was actually a good defenseman. Now he's just a national joke here in Finland to be honest.

[4never93]

@Temezkin47 for absolutely no good reason.

[bishoppx]

Best celly ever.

[musicMan1445]

Dmac is still missed not be the red wings but by the nhl guys like him just don't exist any more. Its all guys like Avery and Ott running out takeing shots at people

[drbnzballa1]

My mom threw away my darren mccarty autograph while she was cleaning :(

[Vertigo2903]

One of the sickest goals I've ever seen

[MrDiogenes]

Darren McCarty - I love you!!!! Magnificent indeed.

[sonichockeyaug]

MOST. INCREDIBLE. GOAL. EVERRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!

[datsyukiandekedyou]

A MAGNIFICENT GOAL!! DARREN MCCARRRTY!

[Auriden]

The one dislike was Ron Hextall.

[vonbontee]

@Auriden Hahaha I was just going to make the same joke!

Possibly the prettiest Cup-winning goal ever

[TheRandomRedSoxGuy]

Gary Thorne goes a little Boston accent on us when he says "A MAGNIFICENT GOAL! DARREN MCCAHTY!" But then again, he is from Maine, so...

Also want to say that I hate just about everything about the Red Wings except for this one goal xD

[turtoise87]

this would be great in nhl12

[Rwingsfan7]

If I was philly's coach, as soon as this happened I would have said to Ninimaa "You've just been traded." and then sent him to the room.

[waterman9465]

It just doesn't get any better than that... The Goal by D Mac.

[Atticus9876]

hahahah holy fuck dangle sauce 

[mrfourtysevenman]

my dad got to play against darren mccarty. he stole the puck from my dad and he dropped his gloves. then mccarty dropped his gloves and they pretended to fight. it was a charity game but lucky me, i got to hang out with darren after the game.

[Jasonhuber22221]

what a play by lidstrom at the beginning of this

[mello2198]

one person disliked this video? Janne Niinimaa was probably on here. 

[ActoneSUCKA]

Poor Hexy... he deserved at least one...

GO WINGS!

[Redanimated]

oh i wish gary thorne still did NHL games.

also wish he sounded like this in NHL8-11.

[evangregoryperry]

@Redanimated If you score in the last minute to tie the game he kind of sounds like this and it reminds me of happy memories

[Crowster12781]

Poor Ron Hextall...just never could get that cup...

One of my all time favorite goals...that was a great night.

[byonkoski76]

my god i still get goose bumps and i was a little kid watching this as my 2nd nhl season ever

[Creblet5]

It's always nice to see Niinimaa fail lol... Worst defender in the finnish hockey history

[marturion1]

Darren McCarty will be forever remembered for this classic goal. This is a gutsy guy who would do anything to help his team, and he is very funny in person. If you're a Red Wings fan, you gotta miss The Grind Line....

[HuskerFanatic]

Avs fan here who remembers the old rivalry with the winged wheel, but fuck me this is an amazing goal.

oh and screw the flyers, then and now. aside from Kate Smith and Lauren Hart I have no use for them

[vpirates62]

I miss the Home Whites ...Seems like baseball is now the only sport that wears White at home ..

[Xstioph]

Chills! ^_^

[StaticLullaby91]

"You wont find McCarty's name in the hall of fame, but you will find it on the stanley cup.

[20CentPat]

Hi,

I am going to thumbs down this video only cause I am a Flyers fan. Other than that THIS IS ONE FUCKING AMAZING GOAL!

Sorry

Have a nice day!

[taranchula97]

@20CentPat YOU!!! are the only one who's ever disliked this video! Come on man, we were on a roll!

[20CentPat]

@taranchula97 SORRY MAN =( 

[Vertigo2903]

one of the best goals i've ever seen for real

[XxHxTxIxDxX]

gary thorne is the best play-by-play announcer ever.

[j12cote]

@XxHxTxIxDxX I AGREE!

[LunchboxEater43]

I hate when people call it Ice Hockey... It's fucking hockey

[alilja4ever]

@LunchboxEater43 Good point.

[slimspidy]

@LunchboxEater43

what about field hockey, roller hockey, ball hockey, floor hockey???

[LunchboxEater43]

@slimspidy then call them fucking field hockey and etc... ice hockey is just HOCKEY... get it right.. fuck sakes

[slimspidy]

@LunchboxEater43

Sorry to offend you Mr Betman...

LOL

[LunchboxEater43]

@slimspidy LOL pretty sure bettman's a dumbass pig dog american who has no play near hockey. And that aint me brotha

[NapalmHipster]

@LunchboxEater43

More people play and watch field hockey than ice hockey, so to an overwhelming percentage of the world's population, the word "hockey" refers to field hockey.

[LunchboxEater43]

@NapalmHipster LMAO, prove it faggot.. That's gotta be the biggest bullshit claim ive ever heard.

[andrewsswilson99]

@NapalmHipster whats field hockey?? some kinda roller hockey??

[hampzuz]

@LunchboxEater43 Ye and i hate when people call it soccer when its called football, same shit different names.

[ACDC392333]

@LunchboxEater43 BUT there is roller hockey, floor hockey, and field hockey (which was around first)

[LunchboxEater43]

@ACDC392333 pretty sure you can call them roller hockey, floor hockey, and field hockey... you can call 'ice hockey' hockey.. It's not hard

[byonkoski76]

@LunchboxEater43 i might not u to get confused with gay man tonsil hockey

[LunchboxEater43]

@byonkoski76 Try learning the english language before trying to beak at someone.. K bye

[wenger1972]

@LunchboxEater43 Agree totally. But over here in the UK we have to call it Ice Hockey otherwise if you talk about Hockey, people will think you are referring to Field Hockey.

[DarkKitten878]

A MAGNIFICENT GOAL!!!

[villageboyak]

I'm a diehard Avs fan, but this was terrific by McCarty. If I didn't know who it was, I woulda thought Yzerman or Fedorov, but McCarty? That was a great moment.

[imnotwildsteve]

Gary Thorne come back to hockey pleaseeeeeeeee....Sounds corny but nobody makes great plays feel even greater like you did.

[dtdhough]

Gary Thorne is what made this goal even better. Gotta love his commentary.

[20003606]

iv never really watched hockey back then i do now it really looks like the leauge babied stuff up. i saw like two penalties in the short video that would have been called today.

[ZacAttackFeelsGood]

One of my all-time favorite goals by my all-time favorite player!

[as2421]

"Once in a while they go in, I guess"

excellent.

[jameshaultain]

the crowd was chanting woot there it is.....gotta love those silly 90's hits :)

[autopilotoff3323]

his 2nd goal in the '04 finals game 7? amazing haha

[JuggernautG24]

1:02 you can just tell the game was over by their faces

[nickmordo]

BEST TEAM IN THE NHL!!!!!

[aus199699]

whose that announcer hes good

[MullyFilm]

Gary Thorne

[Darkstar19779]

That goal and Steve Yzerman's OT goal in 1996 were Gary Thorne's best calls

[MullyFilm]

Paul Kariya

[ActoneSUCKA]

4:27...

best moment of my life ever. Mike Vernon with another Stanley :)

[jbb563]

i like how darren mccarty stands up for his teamate

[trippster1107]

McCarty draws! mcCarty in! McCarty SCOOOOOOORES!!! I want that for a ring tone! can't hear that enough!

[meth4ever]

@trippster1107 thats my ringtone :)

@Auriden or Niinnima :)

[downwithdragracing3]

@trippster1107 lmao hell yeah!

[StFidjnr]

@ 1.15 move over mario here I come.

[StFidjnr]

life is (os)good

[lad420]

this was one of the best goals in red wings history

[TNR902]

I love this goal and will always love and respect Darren McCarty

[superwildman100]

Probally the most famous goal of his career.

[Younkit]

sooo many memories

[e5k1m0]

älä mene sinne janne

[ActoneSUCKA]

You've got to feel bad for Ron Hextall. His team sucked, haha.

[ou812scott]

have a great retirment Darren! Thanks for bring home the cup!!!

[StFidjnr]

life is good for a red wing fan.

[hoosierlooker]

He beat Hextall like a rented mule.

[jwb864]

i remeber this whole night like it was yesterday!! what fun!

[motleyollinirvana]

david perron made a nicer goal but with the pretty much same move:P

[scshockeygirl19]

amazing (: go wings!!! and i think its been a while since hockey has been on EPSN... lol

[charlie2007123]

I was at cedar point when this happen had security come to our room we were so loud!!!!!!

[ActoneSUCKA]

We love you Mac!

[mircody1]

Love Darren!!

[LookGnarly]

He's my Cousin no lie

[Zackypuffsnurple]

Without a doubt the greatest moment in Detroit sport history

[TheRandomRedSoxGuy]

It's a great goal but I don't really see why that is. I mean, consider the circumstances--it was Game 4, Detroit was up 3 games, it was the 2nd period, they had the lead, Philly wasn't showing any threats at that point--there wouldn't have been a lot of tension at a point like that is all I'm saying.

[HollyzChannel]

jannee viiä ku pässiä narussa

[JoDerus66]

WE MISS YOU MAC ATTACK!!! GO WINGS!!!

[theproducerspart2]

One of the greatest goals in Wings history! GO WINGS!

[jaipaul68]

heaven in hockey town .... no one from windsor/detroit forgets this nite i still got hte offical hat buttons and mini poster from the detroit free press ahahhaa

[chechak01]

lol billy clement-Move over mario lemieux

[kewlnsimpguy]

gary thorne is so good omg

[poopyfacemcgee9]

diggin the mullet

[malteserule]

i remember that goal pretty well McCarty's goal of his career and i like the guy's hair who was interviewing McCarty hahahahahahahaha what is that a mullet hahahahaha

[WarrenMI48091]

I think the goal of his career was the overtime goal from Shanny and Igor the night he beat up Claudia. But this one for me is a VERY close second.

[wristshot84]

i get chills when i watch this

[SPORTSGUY9933]

thank you red wings for beating the flyers and helping the rangers fans emotions out too!!

[Coasterrider210]

never will see a goal like that again

[wolverines1001]

hahahaa mcarty guarnteed he never does that again

[madmike81]

Great Team. Great Game. Great Play. Great Call.

[myspace4343]

Life is good. =)

[Stefanyk101]

Daumm!

[ThreeThirteenSoul]

Great days..

[ffscantfindausername]

Awesome vid I love Darren McCarty he is a inspiration and how hot does he look at 2:56!!!!!!

[giannitodaro]

what is the commentaors name?

[SquadUp5FDP]

The play-by-play is Gary Thorne and the color commentator is Bill Clement

[HuskerFanatic]

WE need Gary and Bill back with the NHL on ESPN!

[darkknight91]

Got that right. Not those useless hacks on NBC and VS.

[guilmon223]

wow great goal

[StFidjnr]

Hextall got OWNED and PWNED.

[kenanhoss]

wow get owned

[nogoal4u01]

Sickest goal ever scored. remember this was before the featherlight skates n everything, and he was supposed to be an enforcer.. miss these days.

[LiberatorEbola]

Fucking love Mac. Glad he made it back.

I miss Gary Thorne as well.

[ABCD3561]

Yeah. I think he was the best lead commentator for NHL on ESPN/ABC in the U.S. Sorry we have to put up with Mike Emerick, Eddie Olczyk and Pierre Mcguire between the benches on both NBC and TSN here in Canada. It sucks but we have to live with it.

[janis445]

the commentary in this is simply amazing

[bamz0r19]

Agreed. I like how they let the fans revel in the moment for a bit.

[jboidaman99]

i don't watch vs. simply becasue the commentary is a joke

[triplexxxsatyr]

One of the best goals I've ever seen.  Complete rapeage of the Flyers defenseman Niiniimaa.

Also, it's good to hear Gary Thornton again. What a hockey voice.

[sccrdd483]

absolutely incredible! gives me chills every time i watch it! and darren's comeback last year makes it feel even more special :D

[llSgtScopell]

EVERY time I watch this I get chills. Listen to that crowd, the good old days....

[Miles3227]

what a beast!!!!

[IknowDannyToo]

just like he scored em in belleville

[DRW2008YTMix]

Great goal by Mac. I wish someone would make a collection of Lidstrom's defensive plays like that stick play early in the clip.  It probably wouldn't be that entertaining, but it's plays like those that show Nick's supreme hockey sense.

[llSgtScopell]

@DRW2008YTMix Theres a reason Lidstrom is never on Sportscenter. Because hes not "Flashy" enough. Or sells like like that punk Lebron. But if someone ever did try to make a collection of his defensive plays they would need a full length feature movie just to cover half of his career.

[19duhart]

nice move dmac

[LegendofDelzaLol]

This is the goal that would seal his legacy.

[djkrik]

they dont give him enough credit

[letsgoredwings19]

A great year for McCarty... Beat up Lemieux, scored the Stanley Cup Winner, and Beat up Lemieux again!

[banques19]

Darren McCarty is fuckin amazing

[hockey0733]

Best goal in the history of Hockey

[lkada]

Move over, Mario, here I come!

[RedWings4Life87]

Niinimaa got raped

so did Hextall

and the whole Flyers team

[Qsafm5]

Gary Thorne's call is priceless.

[jh012]

whats the name of that song at 3:23?

[dftns19]

I think this goal might have coincided with my first orgasm.

[aus199699]

nice!!!!

[Ycnagnnisssz]

Beautiful!
