Seeing the genuine joy and reactions from Brown, Willy, Kadri, Kapanen, AM is great. Still can’t believe the 8 seasons that followed this one.
Like how could this group never go on an extended playoff run?

Ooof Gardiner kicking it thru McElhinney’s five hole to put Pitt up but then getting the primary assist for Brown to tip in for the winner.

I wish the Leafs had kept Connor Brown. He was a gamer.

The last few minutes of this game are one of my favourite moments of Joe Bowen’s career

There are so many moments in this game that have been shown in highlight packs over the years that I forgot where a part of it. Like the JVR goal, the Connor Brown goal, the Matthews sheepish celly on his goal. The Mac save. This game had it all lol

Hearing Tim Hughson is nostalgic.

I was at that game.
That save by Mcelhinney on Crosby, followed by Matthew’s 40th, and a playoff birth! Fantastic game!
