Top Ten Famous Goals of the Stanley Cup Playoffs

Here are the top ten most famous goals in Stanley Cup history.

10. Theo Fleury vs. Edmonton, 1991 - That impromptu celebration continues to make Alexander Ovechkin jealous.

9. Pat LaFontaine vs. Washington, 1987 - It was not the longest game ever, but one of the most famous due to the dramatics of game seven. A young Pat Lafontaine makes Washington goalie Bob Mason famous.

8. Wayne Gretzky vs. Calgary, 1988 - For a guy who scored more goals than everybody, there is no real signature Gretzky goal. This is probably as close as they come.

7. Wayne Gretzky vs. Toronto, 1993 - Leafs fans will forever think of this goal when they think The Great One.

6. Mario Lemieux vs. Minnesota, 1991 - Super Mario could score more ways than anyone. But this is his most famous signature goal.

5. Guy LaFleur vs. Boston, 1979 - Lafleur's goal forced overtime and triggered a come from behind win for Montreal over Boston. This goal made Don Cherry famous.

4. Steve Smith vs. Edmonton, 1986 - Okay, actually it was Perry Berezan who got credit for this goal, knocking off Gretzky's Oilers in a gruelling seven game series against Calgary. In terms of fame, or more accurately infamy, few goals are better known.

3. Brett Hull vs. Buffalo, 1999 - Speaking of infamous goals, Dallas OT Cup clincher in 1999 may be the most controversial goal in the history of hockey.

2. Bobby Baun vs. Detroit, 1964 - Baun scored this Stanley Cup winning goal while with a broken
leg. This moment gave the Leafs the Cup, and gave Baun Stanley Cup immortality.

1. Bobby Orr vs. St. Louis, 1970 - Orr scores the Stanley Cup winning goal in overtime, and then flies through the air like Superman. This could be the most famous goal in the history of the sport.
