I’ll never forget watching this in real time when I was a kid. Goosebumps everytime I watch it still.
The “oh baby” timed perfectly with the arm pump is what makes this the best for me.
Most of the greatest goals in Penguin history have Mike Lange behind them, but there are a select few that resonate with someone else at the Mic. Gary Thorne calling Mario’s last goal at home before the 97 retirement “Here he comes! Hang on! You gotta love it!” And Joe Beninati calling Malkin’s “Oh my word!” hat trick goal in 2009. And this one is just perfection.
Someone find the 2002 Olympics goal Paul Kariya scored where Lemieux lifted his stick to completely fool Mike Richter.
Cole immediately recognized it in real time and called it a great play by Lemieux
