@@artursfilipovs1722 This goal here was the biggest goal in franchise history hands down imo. Once they got through Pittsburgh I knew it was over. They were destined to win it all. I would put obviously Eller's goal 2nd and Smith-Pelly's goal to tie it just before that in game 5 at 3rd. That early goal in game 7 was huge though, for sure.

Looking back years later, as a die-hard Pittsburgh Penguins fan, I'm glad it was you guys who dethroned us, if it was going to happen. Not only that, I have a ton of respect for the fact that you kept it going all the way to raising the Stanley Cup after beating us. Alex Ovechkin is quite honestly too damn good to have never raised one in his career. When this goal happened, first it was shock, followed by a little bit of sadness, followed by "go get 'em, Caps." Which they did in 2018. Rivalry aside, I have a ton of respect for your team and fanbase. We should all be blessed to have watched the amazing careers of both Crosby and Ovechkin.
