Kasparaitis wins it

[HaZZmatDefender]

0:21 Is that Tigger?!?!??!

[MalkinFan25]

@HaZZmatDefender I know! i was about to say, apparently color commentators were hall of famer Mike Lange and Ed "Pillsbury Doughboy" Olczyk...

[Borough81]

man i miss mike lange on tv

[dalehartzell]

0:21  yessssssssssss.............

[FCTender34]

I was 6 when this happened and I was in bed after watching a good amount of the game. My dad comes in and wakes me up saying "The pens just won!" I asked who scored and he told me Kasparaitis and I then thought he was kidding me and the Pens lost. Of all people to school Kasper?!

[coasterfanatic6098]

Press 6 lol

[tommyboy31885]

Look at the interference right in front of the ref, gotta love pre-lockout rules (though they are getting back to old times).

Too bad they had to play the trap infested devils in the next series, they had a great team this year

[ICrosbyI15]

Lemiux is top 10 best ever idiot...

[MrVysheen]

what year is it?

[metalgear8871]

Press 6 on your keyboard.

[fudgemanofdoom]

omg i remember that. what year was that?  i know i was pretty young.

[StephanieTautkus]

Darius was a player that had such heart and went out and played every minute at 100%. Loved to watch him play. I remember that Kaspar blocked a shot in the 1st period of our win over the Devils 2001 and played the rest of the game with a broken left foot.

Lemieux is the ONLY NHL PLAYER EVER to score 5 goals 5 ways in a game (even-strength, power-play, shorthanded, penalty shot, and empty-net)

[sink275]

I wonder how many how many Pens fans nowadays are even aware of the days of Straka, Lang, Kovy, Jagr....good times. good times.

[steel5w]

@sink275 Oh, I am. You gotta love NHL 99....lol. I played that game for years!

[StephanieTautkus]

@sink275 I sure do. Have a lot of those games on DVD. Golden Age of the Penguins!

[YouGotOdenated]

@sink275 Or Milan Kraft, Morozov... Even further: Stu Barnes, Shawn McEachern, Tomas Sandstrom, Luc Robitaille...

[bern1417]

was this in 2001?

[LTHIGHTIMES]

I will never ever foprget Mario Lemieux getting PWNED by Lasperitis and the Pens loosing their series to the Ilsanders because of it...that was the day the whole world of hockey watched Proof of just how OVERRATED Lemieux realy was.

[suburbanindie]

@LTHIGHTIMES I wouldn't say Lemieux was overrated, but I sure loved Kasparaitis fearlessly taking anybody out, no matter how big a star they were.

It goes against the whole perception that Russians play "soft" hockey (which is mostly true).

[houmiss]

@suburbanindie hes not russian hes lithuanian

[bern1417]

@LTHIGHTIMES lol overrated?you might be the dumbest person with an account on here!!!

[ricculus]

@LTHIGHTIMES Funniest post ever! Good one!

[bls13thmember]

That is one thing Mario never did, get a game winning overtime goal in the playoffs. Interesting fact. Kasparaitis will always be my favorite Penguin. Too bad we couldn't get him a cup!

[yantheman72]

@bls13thmember You are right about OT goal, but Mario still had 5 GWG in 1991-92 playoffs(that's more than 25% of the team GWG if we keep in mind they won 16 games)

[bls13thmember]

@yantheman72 I wasn't saying anything against Lemieux. Mario is the best, I was simply just stating a fun fact. Overtime game winners in the playoffs are pretty rare.

[papsou]

goodbye hasek!!!

[ZzMaiLMaNzZ]

I would just like to say hi to all my fellow actual hockey fans in Pittsburgh. Who know more than just Sid and Geno

[Iamyourboo2]

@ZzMaiLMaNzZ Hey ;)

[bats87129]

Does anybody know where to find video of Straka's OT goal in game 6 of this series?

[MrAIK1970]

Welcome to A.I.K. Darius 2010-2011

[jikertjikert]

that would of been interference on jagr in todays NHL, one of Haseks softer moments

[nohelmetby]

i remember this, love kasparaitis and that celebration they do at the end.

[bballplaya3454]

some one make a "history will be made" video out of this! I remember this it was freaking great!

[YouLikeBosch]

I miss Kasparitis.

[tommyboy31885]

Probably the most competitive series I can remember for the pens, even more then the detroit and washington series last year. C'mon three straight ots including game 7, can't get much better closer then that

[BuzzsawtheHedgehog]

KASPAR FTW!!

[jfdhjgdh2010]

they all had cocks and fucked each other on that pile.

[pandala420]

i loved this moment!!! there was a while when i thought that this was the last moment i would have to cheer as a pens fan. this play actually held me through during our dark days :-)

[ToshiSabriVideos]

the whole team is ass fucking each other

[PITTSBURGHESE86]

It's cool because I have Lithuanian blood, and people used to not really know what the hell that was. And when the Pens got Kasparitis, everyone was all of a sudden like, "Ohhhh, Lithuanian like Darius Kasparitis, cool!" lol

[tuttskifruttski]

That's because Americans are stupid. They don't know anything.

[ssssssspps]

interference in front of the net.

[untexan]

Like that ever got called back then.If it did, those pre-lockout Sabres teams might have never even made the playoffs.

[PlankSCO]

Lithuanians owns sooo hard!!! Yeah baby! Love it. Proud to be Lithuanian!

[milleniumfalcon79]

ну и что? он за Россию играл всю жизнь

[PlankSCO]

Can you talk like a normal people. Hate those crappy russian letters

[milleniumfalcon79]

who is normal? you? read the books, kid

Абецеле жемайтишкай-лѣтувишка. Вильно, 1864

[Gaubuchon02]

@milleniumfalcon79 English is normal, because this site is called youtube not идиот-tube.  So speak fucking english on here.

[nomineman2]

Kasparaitis plays now in St.Petersburgh in Russia

[vadimzdonutube]

doug gilmour is #93 for the sabres

[pens90]

that was like kaspar's only goal of the season too!

[hockeyfan7125]

i remember they interviewed the players after the game they all said "he can't even score a goal at practice!" i still get goosebumps from this game

[illicitstill]

Kaspar rocks, I wish he was still playing.

[ofka8D]

kasparaitis is lithuanian, proud to be lithuanian 8D

[steel5w]

I remember when this happened. The sabers had just beat the flyers in the round before this.

[ubbecykelkedja]

"... the most, least likely..." Lol, wth.

[ashlandhockey62]

dude he use to be my favorite player. ha i remember that slide on the ice! Does anybody remember Kasparaitis pickles????????

[bls13thmember]

I had a few jar of the Kasparaitis Krunchers hahaha! I completely forgot about that! And Kaspy was my fave too. Still have the jersey.

[ashlandhockey62]

haha yea dude and remember jaromir jagr peanut butter???? i used to have that too!

[cupcomingtobuffalo]

Aaargh. This was a heartbreaking series. We had the series all but in the bag in game 6. To  lose on that crazy play by Lemeiux and then on this goal by Kasparaitis of all people... ouch. Great series though and Barnes' OT goal will always be remembered here.

[PureLtFan]

Elvis has left the building!

[expertpensfan58]

kasparaitis has no power on his shot. All hasek right there

LETS GO PENS

[Britelilstartaur]

I get the chills every time I watch this.

EPIC.

[PenFan444]

<3 Ed Olcyk's little whihihihooooooo

[pittfan1827]

That is a moment in Penguins history that I will NEVER forget! That was incredible!

[tjthegiant]

orgy much

[bigair1433]

haha he slid like a penguin

[NYHOCKEY123]

i liked kasparaitis when he plaed for the rangers.I just cant believe he scored on hasek + mike langes call made it even better.

[brlegend]

it's a shot hasek should have easily saved

[FoxGoalie]

Elvis has left? I think he means "Hasek has just left the building!" ^^

[Egghead83]

wtf is that laugh?

[TheT4xid3rmist]

It is excitement at an intense level.

[Egghead83]

lol

[TheGoldenArcher]

Eddie Olczyk giggling like a school girl. I guess hiring him as our color guy was our gift to hockey. Jeez.

[Egghead83]

lol

[dechm4af]

I remember that game, that series...it was awesome...I want the video from game 6, when 66 scored with less then 2 min left to go to OT and win it

[dervit]

well, 27 carreer NHL goals...........

[blondsarehoties]

interference on the sabers defence in the slot

[OKSIRYDOC]

wow I agree I never noticed that that shouldn't have counted wow...

[dechm4af]

This was 8 years ago, still question about the play...dude

[ruff3651]

Not interference, Straka had established his position, just because the defenseman tries to go through Straka does not make it interference.

[BoatsByGeorge]

Anyone see the interference on the Sabres' defenseman in the slot? He couldn't get in the shot lane because of it.

[ladderbelt66]

I went to this game in Buff.. The crowd was nearly 40% Pens fans. It was awesome

[Onquadrillion]

when kasparaitis scored all the penguin's players had gay sex...just look at that pile.

[ournationsanswer]

am i the only 1 missin the pens player hauling down the sabre player b4 he shoots? like wtf?

[TC163]

wow..the Sabres fail again, hmmmm

[grimetime55]

no doubt hasek was an all-time great, but when it came to pens, he could never solve them

[NOHornetsBaronDavis]

lmao it kills me watching this that was like Darius' only playof goal of his career. Geez out of all the people!

[abatch12]

gary thorne's call with this goal is a lot better

[Kronwall]

Ive only heard that call once, is it on here?

[abatch12]

no its not

[spongedom96]

fukin dog pile

[stonerrockrocks]

Kasparaitis is my favorite player of all time...I still wear his jersey to Pens games...and I remember staying up until 2:30 in the morning watching this game and waking my wife up because I was yelling so loud after he scored. Wish he was still around.

[funker107]

I was a big fan of him back in the day. loved "moose". this was a really good playoff year to watch.

[klauspoppenhaus]

Kaspar rules, Mike lange is the shizzle. Bob Errey blows.

[pens90]

all i typed in was...darius..kasparitis..goal into the search engine..and found this highlight that was looking for. i miss kaspar with the pens and i will always remember this goal. one of the proudest penguins moments i've witnessed.

[pittibergh08]

you know whats funny? kasper is one of the worst shooters and yet he was the only one that he scored in overtime, and not lemuiex or jagr or kovie.

[jmiller006]

i like how the color guy waited for his 2 seconds of time to make whatever gay noise that was...i like passionate announcers, but i don't like ones who clearly show they're more fans of one certain team than level headed brains.

[kurd12345]

Why not? If you deny it then you're just hiding your bias. You want them to not be excited when their team wins?

[jmiller006]

i want him to control himself enough not to sound like mickey mouse.

[oppression51]

I remember Edzo (eddie olczyk) did this in the previous series, where pens also won in OT. But it was a louder "woo hoo hooo" thing. Later on, Mike Lange made a general reminder that he wanted viewers to know they intended to be neutral while announcing.

But I have no idea how do I remember that

[crosbyfanatic]

HEEEEE SHOOOTS AND SCORES. Fsn needs to get MIke Lange back.

[brlegend]

wow the announcers were both complete homos. fuck this clip

[token223]

omh did u see the gay pile at the end?!

[jar5136]

what a brutal way to call an overtime series clinching goal..no excitement

[chesney13]

You are joking right? That's Mike Lange ...

[jar5136]

i know who it is kenny...im just sayin he doesn't sound the least bit excited

[xoclown]

are you special? this is a serious question so please reply.

[jar5136]

if you're tryin to imply me having a mental disorder than no..im not special

mike lange is not good..not as bad as rj in buffalo or any versus commentator..but at least they bring an excited voice to the table

[wamsmo]

do u realize hes inducted to bothe the penguins hall of fame and the NHL hall of fame if u think he suck than you have idea how he is....have u ever heard any of his catch phrases???? he might be one of the most distinguished hocky commentators of all time

[jar5136]

i've heard the god awful "elvis has just left the building"...thats all i need to hear to pass judgement...keep elvis out of hockey

[wamsmo]

so him bein a hall of famer doesnt mean anything at all to u does it??? well i might have that opinon if i too were a lousy devils fan

[jar5136]

why would i care what other people think of him? i'm an individual that has is own opinions, so to answer your question..no i dont give a shit that he's in either hall of fame...if i were a devils fan i would shoot myself..i dont know where you get off accusing me of that

[maksim82tallin]

commentator sucked

[crosbyfanatic]

Mike Lange next to Don Cherry is the best announcer in all of sports.

[WVUsax27]

I remember watching this...I was on a class trip and I got hotel security called on me. GO PENS!

[drp1zza]

I remember watching this live, i was marking out so bad. lol

[bfsab61]

wow that playbyplay announcere was god-awfl no lie

[fromthepgh]

you fucking idiot.. that 'announcer'(spelled properly) is Mike Lange who happens to be a hall of fame broadcaster who has been announcing for the penguins for over 30 years.

[denna128]

you suck. mike lange doesn't. period.

[dorianzive1230]

Get in the Fast lane Grandma.

The bingo game is ready to roll!!!

[KariyaFan9]

elvis has left the building.....what the hell

[chesney13]

You must not be a big Pens fan, huh? Mike Lange is a commentator for the Pittsburgh Penguins. He does radio now but I wish he would come back to TV.

Kaspar owns Domink Hasek.

[prepssuck23]

elvis has left the building? come on god damn it

[beansandcornbread]

The Winter Classic was great this year too. Go Pens!

[prepssuck23]

go buffalo

[afinebalance]

Wow, what terrible commentary.

[fromthepgh]

go fuck yourself faggot.. if you dont know him then you dont know shit about hockey so go jerkoff to some gay nigger porn videos or something ya faggot

[bfsab61]

yeah his cliches are terrible he sucks

[josatinho]

great player...One of my idols

[lawrence142002]

I remember that...

[rinaelizabethv]

shit!

i miss Kasparaitis..

):

[osku95]

pittsburgh rules !

[EnjoiFLiP412]

oh hoo hoo hooo!!

[boygenius88]

Oh man I remember that one! The Sabres had 2-1 leads in games 6 and 7 and blew them BOTH! If Lemieux hadn't scored that GT-goal in game 6, the Sabres woulda won the series...

[Jarrzzy]

Bring Kaspar back to the Pens!

[magnifique66]

this was awesome! i picked kasper to score before ot started... believe it or not

they lost to the devils the next round though :(

[purelebo84]

this is my favorite goal ever

lets go pens

[umbergerstew]

This Is Retarded

Cause I'm A Sabres Fan

[Runeshape4]

hasek is still the 2nd best goalie ALL HAIL KING HENRIK LUNDQUIST

[MosquitoTheRapist]

WELCOME HOME

WELCOME TO SKA KASPAR

[grimetime55]

its sad there had to be a loser in this series. hasek never could solve the penguins though

[sabresgirl]

this depressed me for weeks, and haunted the team for years.

[whymfrost]

thanks so much for the post.

[mdiddy86]

Dude I was so pumped after that goal. It was pretty sweet.

[kevbo67]

I didn't know whinny the pooh was a color analyst.

[Pat12151215]

C'mon, man. You can't diss Edzo.

[sprocketman14]

Actually he sounded more like Tigger than Pooh.

[Eaglezfan5]

What year was this?

[mastere77]

This was in 2001. Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semi-Final. There's nothing more nerve-recking than a game 7 in overtime.

[Eaglezfan5]

Yeah i definetly can see how nervous it was. Are you a Penguins fan? Thats so cool

[Canuck204]

Game 6 Buffalo blew it big time, they were up by one goal with 2 minutes left until Pittsburgh tied it forcing overtime. Buffalo blew it that game and blew it this game...

[grafs707]

awesome celebration

[Mordecai016]

Hasek really blew it there

[Maxie1111]

That was his last yr as a saber, maybe that was why he just wanted to leave the team so bad.

[Mordecai016]

Doesn't really make any sense to do that. You only get so many shots at the cup. And the sabres were close to going back to the ecf. Any sensable person would play their best in that situation. Unfortunatly he couldn't stop a fairly average wrist shot.

[Maxie1111]

Hey Hasek won the cup the yr after and he could beat Mario Lemieux when it mattered in game six.

[Mordecai016]

You're not looking at this the right way.

When a hockey player has a chance to get closer to the stanley cup he wouldn't just throw it away just like that.

And Hasek didn't know that he was gonna win the stanley cup the year after.

When you're a player in that position you don't blow chances like that cause you may never get a chance again.

[MMemorial]

Darius is so fucking idiot. Hi is medium player, maybe even good, but really hi is asshole. He doesn't think game, hi think fight.

[beansandcornbread]

You are a moron.

[greeneyedprincess2]

First, use spell check because YOU are a fucking idiot and don't even read your post before posting.

Second, Darius is THE NICEST person to meet. Many times he stood outside the arena signing autographs when other players ran to their vehicles because it was so cold. One night he came out to sign and it was REALLY cold, he said, "Go home, it's cold. You're crazy!" but then he signed anyway! If he is an asshole, what does that make you?

[MMemorial]

First, my native language is Finnish, and i am studied English now three years, so i am happy you even understand what i wrote. Second, i don't know what kind of he is outside of hockey (seemingly nice) but on the ice towards adversary he is fighter and i don't like him. It was just my opinion.

[greeneyedprincess2]

So sorry-I didn't realize English isn't your native language! You'd be surprised how many people here have worse grammer than you!! LOL! Actually, he wasn't that much of a fighter on the ice either-he would fight when it was needed, but mostly he just pounded the competition with solid checks. We all are entitled to our opinion and even though I disagree, I respect yours. Let's remember that the media can portray someone a certain way and that is all everyone gets to see.

[MMemorial]

Yep, i respect yours opinion too. Maybe he is OK. Actually, he did something in -06 Olympic in Torino and that is reason, why i thought he is asshole. Now it's difficult say, how he play, because in Finland i don't see games except NHL's website.

[PinballWizard976]

I had my portable radio under my pillow when this happend. Wow, that was one of those modern classics. Of ALL people who would of made that shot I would not guess Kasper. Don't foget the Pens had Mario, Jaga, Lang and Kevin Stevens. What a goal, Mike Lange has not changed a bit

P.S. The Pens are not going to Kansas City or any where else! Lol

[chrislauer]

Nice vid. Check my page for more old school Pens action.

[magoo31187]

greatest goal ever... i was up till' 1:00 watchin this game on a school night... made my dad mad when i screamed at the top of my lungs

[Sarcasm24]

The Pens can go to hell....or to KC lol

[LaraAnn06]

you can to hell...

[Sarcasm24]

Jeeze, lighten up...it was only a joke. My name isn't Sarcasm for no reason

[jhuerbin88]

What a great moment!

[steelers724309]

lets go pens !!!

[Ct6666]

haha tim connoly, tried to jump over his hip check....cleanest hit ive ever seen, if you knew anything about hockey youd agree....you NEVER jump over a hip check.

[Kronwall]

Tim Connolly wasnt with Buffalo then, he got traded to Buffalo before the 2001 draft for Mike Peca

[Flyers12FROM21]

hells no haha, you go a flyin and a flippin, knee/head/neck injures follow

[alz2kewl]

worst announcer ever ROFL

[ts15210]

You can't be from Pittsburgh. That was Mike Lang. You just wouldn't understand.

[gridster8]

Robert Lang.

[Redhairmarya]

Mike Lang was the announcer calling the game on Fox Sports Pittsburgh. Robert Lang is the hockey player number 20 on the ice. Robert Lang now plays for Detroit.
