It's wonderful that the leafs beat Calgary 5-4 in overtime tonight, everyone needs to watch the sports highlights tonight or tomorrow because Mats Sundins goal was SCARY..
and I'll tell you why....
In 1988 the Calgary Flames were playing the Edmonton Oilers in the playoffs. The game was tied 4-4 and it was overtime. The Oilers were shorthanded.
Wayne Gretzky came flying down the left wing and fired a slapshot over the left glove of Mike Vernon - winning the game.. on a shorthanded goal - 5-4 for the oilers.
Watch the highlights of Sundins goal - Which was his 3rd of the night for a hat trick and the 500th of his career. It was also in overtime, against the Calgary Flames with the game tied 4-4. The Leafs were also shorthanded - and Sundin came flying down the left wing, fired a slapshop over the left glove of Mikka Kiprusoff to win the game.
Here is a link to the video of Gretzky's Goal in '88: Goal
Granted he is a little more to the left and the shot is from closer in - but the similarities are SCARY!!!!!!!!!!
Most of you will not care - but anyone who is a hockey fan (and especially a leafs fan) will find this really interesting
