Hi there. Only rule is that a moment can't be a whole season. It's got to be a play or maybe a game.
I am absolutely positive I will think of 10 more after I hit SUBMIT TOPIC I have 4 and then 50 honorable mentions.
So, in no particular order
Kirk Gibson's Game 5 Home Run in 1984. A lot of people think that was a walk-off or that it gave us the lead. I know almost all of you know the team was leading 5-4. That HR just clinched it. It was the first Detroit championship in my memory (I was 3 in 1968)
Vinnie Johnson :00.7 (Because I can't remember one single moment from their first title the year before). I was living in Florida at the time, so not around a bunch of Piston fans. But I was watching with my roommate and the Pistons were losing that game by something like 7 points with less than 2 minutes and they called a timeout and I said "they're gonna win this thing tonight". There was just something about the look on their faces during that timeout.
Red Wings vs. Avs March 26, 1997. REVENGE! Not only did McCarty destroy Lemieux, he scored the winner on OT. That was the night the Wings really won the Stanley Cup. There was no stopping them after that.
Magglio's Walk-Off Pennant-Clinching game. After 19 years of pretty dismal baseball, all the disappointment went poof in one moment. All he needed was a single, but where's the drama in that?
