Andrew Brunette Game 7 OT Winner vs Avalanche

[hockey6408]

I was laying in bed sick, and when this goal was scored, my dad came running in screaming, "They won! They won!" For about 10 minutes, I didn't feel like shit.

[hockey6408]

This whole playoff run was definitely the high point for me as a Wild fan. Goddamn was this awesome.

[slapshot445]

this announcer is terrible...same goal call as in game 6. literally the same call, he just switched the names

[damienmetalwind]

I watched this game back in the day. I'm a Minnesota native, and hard-core Avs hater (during this era).

When the goal went in, I jumped so much that I thought my downstairs neighbors were gonna call the cops.

[countrygentleman10]

Look at how slowly the forwards for the Avs are on the back check! Holy tits!! All three glide into the zone in GAME SEVEN of the first round of the playoffs.

[Yourvidssuckhairyass]

Fuckkk, I was at this game. Shitty announcer, so I'm glad I went to it lol

[weready2323]

@Yourvidssuckhairyass you're an idiot. Steve Levy is an awesome announcer. Must be a sore looser. Learn to loose as a man and not a wimp

[anaheimducks90]

Steve Levy is a good announcer! :D

[weready2323]

@anaheimducks90 yes he is. Awesome one.

[Rippinkitten18]

I was happy when Wild defeated the Avs.

[Julian24151]

it would be nice if i could actually see the celebration!!

[willfucker]

Steve Levy SUCKS MAJOR BALLS calling that play; Gary Thorne would have turned that moment legendary with his passionate commentary.

[Darknessking81]

@willfucker His obviously fake passion? Maybe you didn't watch any of the frozen four when he called it...he doesn't have passion for the sport. He's a dreadful commentator.

[weready2323]

@Darknessking81 you are an idiot. Steve levy is a great announcer. Just stop talking.

[Darknessking81]

@weready2323 I was referring to Thorne. He's insanely terrible. Levy's not bad. Thorne...well, to call a game right you gotta pronounce names right.

[weready2323]

@willfucker you're an idiot. Steve levy is awesome. Gary thorne is great too. But in no way does levy suck. Get a brain and get off youtube

[chimaira1069]

Last goal ever scored on Patrick Roy. A beauty indeed. What a great memory. Now if we could just forget about the 09-10 season.

[RE74580]

Zholtok!!!!!

[jjb2122]

This highlight still gives me chills.

[jjb2122]

This highlight still gives me chills.

[Mrgadzilna]

i miss Zholtok :(

[spiked200]

@Mrgadzilna I agree RIP Sergei Zholtok!

[Woggletar9012]

i remember exactly where i was when this happened! i was in 4th grade it was about 11:30 at night everyone else when to bed because they said the wild couldnt win... but i never gave up on them! and look at what happened

[norjak71]

as a wings fan i remember praying for minnesota, when that went in i was going crazy.

[tmoore4075]

I remember watching this in my dorm room in 03. I never saw it coming. I was shocked. Even more shocked that Roy would retire after this. figured he try and come back in 04 not wanting to go out like that.

[JDisawe]

this was amazing as a Wild fan to watch a team in their third season defeat Roy, one of the greats

[Giua1973]

this was one of the most shocking hockey moments of all time

[ActoneSUCKA]

This was Roy's last game...

[allisgreatownz]

I lived in MN back then, what a wonderful playoff it was!

[Woggletar9012]

mn was a crazy place that season in the playoffs

[SENORhamburglar]

what a post season. I remember screaming my lungs out when andy put it in past roy!

[anaheimducks90]

I like Steve Levys way to announce a goal.

[tjax9]

yes

[KirbyPuckettrocks34]

RIP Zholtok

[pandasharks]

Amen.

[Lettuce1012]

watch how all three of the avalanche forwards just coast into the zone and none of them skate hard to try and stop brunette. lol

[KirbyPuckettrocks34]

Wild ROCK!

[mnsports1]

avs suck

[Segasmith]

That goal was the final nail in the coffin for Roy's career and the Avs as a powerhouse. Ever since his statue of liberty fuck up against the Wings in the WCF in '02 the Avs have never been the same.

[chubbyjenks]

GO WILD

[Woggletar9012]

If it was up to me fucking canada wouldn't be in the fucking nhl... they would be in a canadian legue were they belong. but no one would watch them because no one cares about canada..............ah?

[AndyVanHalen]

fuck you ps3 gamer this is one of the best sports memories of my entire life... fuck you and the canucks.

[ps3gamer1993]

fuck you minnesota wild fan you guys got very lucky in 2003 playoffs you guys been my team the vancouver canucks in the round 2 game 7 that game was fucking bullshit!!!! minnesota wild sucks donkey balls !!! go canucks go!! this is our year to bring back the cup in canada!!!!!

[YoNumberOneStunna]

Still talking shit kid... Get a life fatass. Get over it! This was like 5-6 years ago... And guess what! Canucks still suck ass! Go WILDS!

[RedWingsFan2010]

@YoNumberOneStunna so do the Wild. hahah.!! GO WINGS!!

[Repik8000]

@YoNumberOneStunna LOL wild suck ass GO CANUCKS. I mean Canucks finish 3rd and u finish like 12th or sum shit. Minniesota sucks dude. Canucks 2011 i'd like to see ur team make the playoffs! W000000000000000t RAPED BITCH!

[YoNumberOneStunna]

@Repik8000 HAHAHA! You can talk all you want but I'll let the Wilds do all the walking.

[Repik8000]

@YoNumberOneStunna Walking...Yeah right. Wild suck ass dumb fuckers. lets see if u can even make the playoffs in 2011 dumb fucker.

[Jsouthwell2006]

@Repik8000 do you really need to swear? you dont even know the guy and your swearin at him, why?

[alextheyankeehater]

@YoNumberOneStunna How come 2 Straight Division Titles and an Olympic Gold Medal Winner and Minnesota missing the Playoffs in the past 2 years makes Minnesota better?

[DanSaw23]

That series of the canucks losing made me a huge wild fan and you have no idea..hahaha fuck the canucks

[bbmnaics]

My Favorite player of all time ends the carrer of my favorite Goalie

[dacrimespot23]

rip zholtok

[KirbyPuckettrocks34]

RIP Zholtok

[journeythruthepast]

Patrick Roy's last moments in the NHL... not quite going out like the champ he was but oh well.

[MNallday1]

actually he was a law-breaking loser...and thanks for Brunette!

[StarBoy62]

Brunette came back to Minnesota!!!! GO WILD!!!!

[DennieLemeux]

I'm not a big fan of the Wild's uniforms, but the green was better than the red they wear now.

[StarBoy62]

I didn't really like the green jerseys. I just like the red ones. :)

[dylanmarchegiano]

we'll miss you roy..

the last goal he ever let in..

kind of a softy.but

hes allowed after all those great

years..

[bipin5547]

i cried when i watched that biggest upset that year

[blueliner89]

Bruno's back in Minny wooo!! :D So are Zidlicky, Weller, Miettinen!! Too bad Rolston left though

[countrygentleman10]

Bruno's back in Minny!

[Shorak04]

R u kidding me?! Did they really trade him back?! I hope to god you know this for a fact...

[countrygentleman10]

Yes. The Wild signed him yesterday during the first day of free agency.

[stpaulhockeytown]

ahh yes sir. best moment ever in wild history in my opinion. I wish Zholtov was still here.... GO WILD!!!!

[topher057]

this is probably my favorite goal of all time.

i remember watching this late at night with my dad, both of us screamin' and shouting so loud we woke up everyone in the house, and we couldnt get my dog to shut up for like a half hour.

good times, good times :)

[jaymster790]

i want to see the hilights of all the games of the series ame 1 to 7

[donovan1117]

Does anyone else here hate the Ducks? I do they are cheap and someone should get May back for what he did to Johnsson.

[giver123]

I'll never forget this. Colorados revenge starts tonight.

[cmoney1860]

wild are gonna pwn you

[nova2006champs]

This was a top five sports moment of all-time for me. I think I woke up the whole neighborhood when this happened. I'm ready for round 1 to start on Wednesday. It's just too bad that the hero now has to play for the enemy. GO WILD!!!

[msumj]

Me too, still remember staying up until 1 (I was in middle school so being up that late was unheard of.) GO WILD!

[shishiodun]

I hated this goal, but I remember thinking throughout the series that Brunette looked good. I am so glad he is wearing the Avs jursey now... man I can't wait for game one.

[BrightOranje]

Don't like Minnesota.....HATE Colorado, though. Still, the playoff rematch is coming and as a hockey fan I must say it's going to be a great series. Go Minny!

[ToivoLappi]

What's funny about this? Andrew Brunette ended Roy's career with this goal...and now plays for the Avalanche.

Hehe~

[Patronum21]

yep, i rememeber this goal probably wont forget it. i went nuts

-miss those green jerseys

[wildtymez]

Greatest goal in Wild history! I remember it like it was yesterday.

[Cstrawn05]

By far best moment so far for the Wild I remember being up till like 1 in the morning watching this game when I was 13, hopefully we have another moment like this.

[samumiller]

haha i remember being the only one up in the house, and screaming when they scored this goal....waking everyone up in the process haha

good times

NORTHWEST CHAMPS! i think we could make a run this year!

[youhurtmycheese]

best Wild goal ever...

i was in 5th grade and dont remember much but i wish i did

[tigermark64]

How unfortunate that Andrew Brunette would be traded, ironically to Colorado. This was just the start of a great playoff run by the Wild.

[DennieLemeux]

He wasn't traded.

[Frie7144]

Best moment in Wild history!!! Thank you Andrew Brunette!!! GO WILD!!!

[FinalQUEST990]

i remeber throwing my remote cause i was pissed. Fuckin roy just fell and that eneded it.

[vikingsguy7]

Avs SUCK!!

[bs932]

I remember watching this game with my parents. I couldn't believe it, especially after Richard Park basically saved them in game 6 from elimination. the Avs payroll was like, 3 times the Wild's at that point in time.

[avs1337]

and he is now an av...

[Shabby610]

He's also a pimp. This goal is epic shit.

[JerichoBeach]

Yes, the end of Roy on that goal, from that point the Avs slowly fell apart, no longer being a dominat team. Now the Powerhouses in the West are the Wings & Ducks. I love Minny for destroying Colorado, in the years to come they lost forsberg, blake, foote, tanguay. In a way it was sad to see a cup favorite get eliminated by a virtually unknown underdog team, in the FIRST round in overtime, on home ice...

[landrykkb]

@JerichoBeach Colorado had at least reached the Final 4 for 4 straight seasons prior to this,if not the Cup every year,so the fatigue definitely had caught up to them.

[jimmypop33]

My favorite sports moment EVER!!! Not only were they a "Cinderella Team", they battled back from being down 1-3 in the series, and then have to travel to CO and face Sacik, Foresberg, Roy, etc. And then score in that amazing overtime! This win effectively ended Roy's career, as well as put the Wild on the NHL map in their 1st playoffs in franchise history!

Ironic that Brunette ended up playing for the AVs huh?

[boygenius88]

I think what's more surprising is that the Wild AGAIN came back from a 1-3 deficit against the Canucks, and somehow managed to win that series.

I still can't believe JS Giguere allowed only ONE goal to the Wild in the Finals. That was kinda bull, but Giguere was one heck of a goalie.

[landrykkb]

@jimmypop33 As impressive as that 2003 run was and especially rallying twice from 3-1 deficits against both Colorado & Vancouver,they have failed to follow this up ever since.Todd Richards' emphasis on offence should help bring them back torespectability,however.Espec­ially considering in 2010 that the game is not conducive to the trap.

[jimmypop33]

what??? r u on pot on what?

dude let's just see here...the very same playoffs the Wild beat hated Vancuver in game 7 after again falling behind 1-3 in the series...Gophers win back 2 back nation titles ('02, '03)...Marion Gaborick scores 5 goals in a game (12/20/2007 vs. NY Rangers), Wild earn NHL's "Hockey Town USA" title from Detroit for, among other achievements, having sold out EVERY GAME in franchise history (inagural season 2000)...

[Barnmol]

...then there was that time when Gaborik scored 5 goals in regulation. THAT was pretty glorious...

[Lettuce1012]

amazing goal...watch the backchecking of the Av's forwards, it's brutal

[toddykay]

RIP Sergei Zholtok

[jimmypop33]

amen brother! my favorite Wild player. great playmaker, goalscorer, unbelievable hands, and from all accounts an awesome person...plus he wore my number, er i guess I WORE HIS NUMBER!

33

[boygenius88]

And your youtube username has the number 33 on it.

Yeah Zholtok was the key player who made Brunette's goal possible. Sucks that he died in 2004 during a game in Belarus. He'll be missed not only by the Wild, but also by the NHL.

[bbmnaics]

Bruno Rocks!!!!

[Wildfan170]

best play in wild history i tiped the coach over when that happened and broke a lamp

[jimmypop33]

ditto! except i spilled my beer on my buddy's couch but no one freaking cared! my favorite sports moment of all time!

[weathered2586]

A-V-S- AVS AVS AVS

[hockey6408]

i was watching this game, then got really sick and had to go to bed. my dad proceeded to wake me up screaming, "brunette scored! brunette scored!" I then went down and watched the replay roughly 15,000 times.

[vikingsguy7]

haha avs suck

[boygenius88]

whoops I meant I thought MIN was going to lose when I left...

[boygenius88]

I was looking for this clip too! Thanks for posting it!

I left early when COL was up 2-1 and, knowing Roy was hard to beat, thought MIN was down. When I checked about a half hour later, the game was over and I thought I was right, but nope. MIN won!

They also came back from a 3-1 series deficit against the Canucks.

Too bad no more Sergei Zholtok =(

[achsdu17]

Andrew Brunette... the player that ended Roy's career, now one of the Avs best assets.

[MNSOHLEDNGG]

oh my god yes!!! finally now i can watch this when ever i want to!!i love this clip, proud to be a wild fan!

[GardnerDylan]

THANKS FOR POSTING IT!!!

Ive been looking all over!

[Bneezy]

After that, the Avs were drolling for Brunette.

[mgaborik10]

FINALLY THANK YOU!!!

[mnwild15]

I have been looking for this clip forever. THANK YOU!
