In this video, we take a deep dive into one of the most iconic hockey games in the history of the sport. Team Canada vs Team USA. Known for the Golden Goal scored by Pittsburgh Penguins Captain & Face of the NHL in Sidney Crosby, we look at how the 2010 Winter Olympics ended up being some of the greatest 'best on best' hockey we've ever seen. - Sport
Pulled brodeur for luongo lmao what a stacked roster
It was almost unfair. I mean, the US had Miller, and Thomas in net, so they were no slouches.
Compared with the current Canadian goalies 😢
@@mostimusic2616ikr. Like team Canada looks stacked until you look at the goalies. When you have Stuart Skinner as a potential goalie. It’s not looking goof
Their 3rd goalie was Marc Andre Fleury. Nothing but hall of fame brick walls.
@@garrettobrien5197 I mean, Skinner was serviceable enough to get the Oilers to the final round of the playoffs. With our offense as busted as it is, we ideally won't even have to depend on goaltending all that much.
I mean Canada obviously had an absolutely legendary team in 2010, but when you look back at the team USA roster, it's comical to think they were not also considered a Gold Medal-potential team because that roster is absolutely STACKED.
It really wasn't though lol
@@UnhappyPensFan Stacked isnt the word Id use, but well-oiled might be arguably better. Their captain being Jamie Langenbrunner wasn't about having the best player around, it was about having a guy with a history of being big in clutch moments as he had in Dallas's 99 and NJ's 03 cup runs. A veteran leader who knew how to play when the pressure was high.
Canada had enough talent to send 2 teams in 2010.
For real, I remember looking at both these rosters and thinking that it looked like a chel GM mode roster I’d spend hours putting together lol
@@UnhappyPensFan Not to the extent of team Canada, but a lot of their younger players at that time weren't really considered top players yet but were on the cusp of breaking out, like Parise, Kane, Kesler etc. No to mention Ryan Miller was at the top of his game.
People who didn't grow up watching Crosby will never be able to appreciate just how dominant he was. While he certainly had his fantastic 1v1, 1v2, 1v4 etc highlights coming off the rush, he wasn't pretty and consistent like McDavid is now. Crosby was dominant in the corners and down low, plays that you'll rarely be able to find on highlight reels. It's a highly underappreciated area of the ice. And Crosby was better than anyone. There's a reason why he is often referred to as a "Superstar Grinder". During his prime, Crosby was nearly impossible to knock off the puck down low. It was something special to watch.
he was very consistent, he just had injuries and the NHL was slightly different back then more physical for sure. I mean his PPG was top 5 all time before Mcdavid now his is 1.25 you can't call that inconsistent at all LMAO.
Dude might not out play everyone but he will out work you. So glad i got to spent my middle school high school years watchin him in Pittsburgh
I honestly think Crosby is the best grinder to ever play hockey. He might be the best two way player ever too, but I think he has competition with players like Yzerman and Fedorov. He might be the 2nd smartest player to play after Gretzky too.
Him and iginla both the 2 most unstoppable in the corner. Watched iggy do it his entire career in Calgary as well
@@cndngoose Love Iggy. I am obligated to hate Calgary because of the circumstance of my birth, but I can't hate Iggy. Worked hard and gave everything he had.
Man, I just do not get tired of watching Crosby score that goal. One of the greatest moments of my life.
Goosebumps every time I see this replay. “Iggy!” Echoes throughout history forever…
You have a sad life.
@@BrandonSeymour-yd4gy Dare I say the most iconic yell in hockey history?
And I never get tired of watching Iggy give the Golden Pass. No Golden Pass from Iggy, no Golden Goal from Crosby. Don’t forget it.
@@JesusFriedChrist Iggy gave his all 100%
Brought tears to my eyes, all these years later. 'IGGY!'
And now his oldest son was just drafted to the NHL. Of course Utah had to draft him instead of letting Calgary take their all time franchise player’s son…..😑
I bet you can guess which state is now the #1 most hated in southern Alberta..
As a Canadian part of me wants to thank Zach Parise for tying it, sure if he didn't and Canada went on to win 2-1 it would've been awesome on its own and probably saved us a lot of stress but because the US tied it, it allowed for the creation of one of the greatest moments in Canadian hockey history and a moment and a feeling I think every Canadian watching will remember for a long time, those 2 weeks in Vancouver were special and this moment caped it off perfectly
USA fan here, and agreed... the added drama of OT was fantastic. Great for the game--I think we won some new fans that year.
@@bobfesmire9721 OT drama is always the best drama.
It was quite the tournament and quite the ending for us Canadians. Props to Ryan Miller too, look at full careers he is not superior to Marty or Lou but was the most impressive goalie during this particular tournament I think, even in the loss
After all of these years…I never realized how frequently Crosby went five hole on Miller. Adds a whole new element about the greatness of the golden goal. Great video
it's that IQ and being a fan of the game. reading all competitors
"CROSBY SCORES! SIDNEY CROSBY!! THE GOLDEN GOAL!!!" is burned into my brain. Watched this game when I was 10, can still remember it years later. Was the first Olympics I watched too. I was so happy to be Canadian that year, and I still feel so blessed to have witnessed this game live.
I'm terrified for 2026. US has come such a long way in terms of hockey and I wouldn't be surprised if they become the new juggernauts of the sport. But for Canada...we'll always have this.
I was 10 too when I watched it! Possibly the only hockey game I watched that year, and surely the one that mattered most.
Canada is still stacked, and the top-end talent for Canada is much better than the US. Matthews would be the best American player; McDavid is much better and after that we have MacKinnon and Makar who are as good if not better than Matthews.
@@IdontKnow-gm7eu But when you look at who’s in net between the two…
Like, US has plenty of options. Otter, Demko, Hellebuyck, Quick, etc
While Canada has Kuemper, Talbot, Skinner, Hill, Bennington, like a lot of goalies that are pretty good, but not the clear stacked US options
Pretty sure Sweden wins in 26.
@@ClawieArmy Sweden will certainly be in it. I wouldn’t count them out either.
I’m just worried about US cause…well, why wouldn’t we want to beat each other? XD
This one of the things I love about the summer I love these hockey history videos
I’m from Pittsburgh so I was guiltily pulling for a foreign country in this game. What an ending. What a player.
Shit as Sharks fan we had 5 players on the Canada team but I was still rooting for the US and Pavelski.
Lol, one of the ways we cope with the fact that no Canadian team has won the Stanley Cup in over 30 years is the knowledge that the majority of each American roster is Canadian… so you’re forgiven, methinks
Great breakdown again. I'm actually so pissed that I don't even remember watching this game as a kid. I was 6 years old in New York and my parents said we were screaming so loud when Crosby scored that all the neighbours heard us. Can't believe this faded from my memory.
So strange, my memory of this was faded as well yet I was 12. Amazing moment regardless
I dont blame you it was a loss for me all i remember is iggy name begin shouted by crosby
Same here!! I was 7 years old in Vancouver and all I remember is standing in the corner of the living room (because I was too excited to sit down) and screaming like crazy at the end
Sid has a chance to do it again boys. At 36 i have no doubt he still can.
The most iconic goal in Canadian hockey history
I mean. Paul Henderson?
The most iconic pass in Canadian hockey history.
No Golden Pass by Iggy = no Golden Goal
@@JesusFriedChrist The Gretzky to Lemieux pass in the 87 Canada Cup is also pretty legendary.
I was in the middle of Afghanistan listening to this game over radio broadcast. I didnt get to see the Golden Goal till much later. Will always remember the game sitting alongside my American friends. (im Canadian)
Hell yeah thanks for your service!
Thank you for your service. 😊❤
Thank your for your service. Great story
Reminds me of My dad how he was on business in salt lake city during the 2002 Olympics. He was at a restaurant watching the gold medal game surrounded by Americans.
He cheered so loud and kept giving it to them and taunting them
I love watching videos showing Vancouver from a distance during the game, all is silent and then you hear this massive roar swell up of millions of people cheering all at once. The party downtown was crazy. We danced for hours.
I'm an American from Chicago. Back then, my hockey team was playing in a tournament at one of the only rinks in the area with a TV in the lobby. Our game ended with about 5 mins left in this Gold Medal game. We get off the ice, the squad is all chillen, taking our time in the locker room, thinking we're about to lose to Canada. Then our coach comes back in to tell us Parise tied it up & it's bout to go to OT. We hurry it up, then head to the lobby just in time for puck drop. It's packed to the brim with people watching. Seeing Sid the Kid score that game winner was gut-wrenching. What a moment. 😔. Congrats to all the Canadians 🙏.
We’re spoiled here in Pittsburgh for sure. After being a little too young and living in a poor household, I never got to really see Mario in his prime. I’m very thankful I got to see Crosby and co do their thing. He absolutely is one of the all time greats and McDavid has a long way to go to be at the table with Crosby as Sid has accomplished so much in his career that McDavid just hasn’t done yet.
Hearing "Sydney Crosby! The Golden goal!" makes me tear up everytime. Truly one of the most incredible moments of an already incredible Olympics that probably will never be topped.
Very cool to see which players are still playing in the nhl
This upload feels therapeutic after the recent Oilers loss.
Hey did you hear about the crazy weather system that’s been developing? Meteorologists have detected another weather pattern originating from the Edmonton Area that is likely to impact Calgary and the surrounding area. Torrential rainfall is expected to impact the previously mentioned areas, likely to amount anywhere between 50-100mm. The rain has been detected to mostly consist of the tears of Oilers fans, which consists of a salty and bitter complexion. Health Canada strongly advises for all contact and consumption to be met with moderation and caution, as higher doses of second hand dihydrogen copium monoxide can potentially lead to an spiked increase in laughing at people with Oilers flags on their car as they drive by.
Nah, the Oilers loss was also a great Canadian moment for everyone outside of Edmonton.
I’m so glad I found this channel. Incredible script writing, footage, music and story telling ability. What a channel. Can’t wait to dive deep into all your videos!
Please do more of these history pieces!
I’ll never forget watching this live. My whole family was gathered around the TV and it was incredible!
These vids are AWESOME!❤
My school played this game in the auditorium. The entire school came down to watch. It was one of the most amazing sports moments of my life. I truly felt so much pride in Canada after this goal.
I still get chills from that game
Brings tears to my eyes every single time I relive this game... the 2010 Olympics were incredible and this moment will live on forever.
Watching this game live was of the flashbulb moments in my life. I watch the clip of the "golden goal" every few years to relive it.
I was 17 years old while Vancouver 2010 happened and I watch every sport, but this moment was the golden highlight of any Olympic Gold medal I have ever watched. This and probably Shawn White winning Olympic medals was spectacular.
Best moments 🇨🇦
holy shit man.. watching back all these angles, its insane how close that play is multiple times..
First sid with the poke to iggy which is like .2 seconds from being blocked. then as he is covered by a man and falling down, iggy barely threads the needle past a recovering Rafalski's stick, only to pass it kind of behind sid.. but not only does sid recover the puck, he then goes on to beat miller (and a still valiantly trying Rafalski) in close at an awkward angle..
what an amazing play, topped off of course by the legendary call of sir Chris Cuthbert
The golden goal. Legendary moment. I had my red team canada Crosby on as he scores that
You did a great job scripting this memory!! I'd totally forgotten about that thumping of Russia and OV earlier in the tournament. Gold medal game, I remember being 23 and taking the GO train downtown Toronto and watching the game at Elephant and Castle on Queen St. The bar was absolutely PACKED to capacity, everyone standing shoulder to shoulder and the tension was insane. The place went absolutely nuts when Sid the Kid scored. The party poured into the streets. Happiest I've seen Toronto after a hockey game. That 2010 Team Canada roster was an absolute beast, loaded with clutch superstar players all entering or in the middle of their primes. As a Canadian hockey fan, I'm not sure another Olympics or sporting event will ever top the 2010 Vancouver games.
I've seen snippets of this game so many times over the last 14 years and it still gives me goosebumps. "IGGY!!" Is iconic.
I was 23 when this took place. Me and my girlfriend watched it in my living room by ourselves. She knew absolutely NOTHING about hockey but that game was just so intense that even she was yelling and screaming at the TV. One of my best memories ever.
14 years later and it still gives me chills. Best game I’ve ever watched in my life.
I was working on the broadcast team during the Olympics and those of us who weren't working the game were watching on the screens in BC Place before getting prepped for closing ceremonies. That moment was incredible, everyone just lost their minds. So many great memories working the Olympics but that was obviously the pinnacle of it all.
Man alive, this channel has taught me *so* much about this game and expanded my love for it. And the history that I missed -- what a treat to learn about and understand it now! Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I remember watching this game in '10, it was just incredible. My whole family watched together and it was a spectacular moment, one i'll always remember :)
This game is my fondest hockey memory (as a watcher) whole extended family packed downstairs and watching the game on a projector, still remember everyone jumping around and screaming the moment the puck went in the back of the net like it was yesterday
This is a core memory as a hockey fan in Canada from the East Coast. Didn't even notice it was in for 2 seconds then freaked with my family. Will always stick with me.
Man. Years later, and i still get chills and tear up a bit.
I remember watching this game, 8 years old, in the living room with all my family on the edge of our seats. Only other time there was this much excitement watching hockey was 2023 World Juniors with Bedard.
I pat myself on the back when I remember telling my father-in-law and wife when O.T started, matter-of-factly, "Crosby is going to score in OT". It wasn't even a question in my mind. Some guys just have it in them to rise to the occasion when it matters and they are always the safe picks. Whether quietly or with swagger it doesn't matter, you just know they are going to get it done.
Fantastic video, can’t go wrong with the format.
I am so grateful for this video. 🙏Canada's Hockey is GREAT, Hockey is OURS, Hockey IDentifies us, let us embrace again how amazingly MAGNIFICENT Canada hockey is: Players, Coaching Teams, Management, Owners, FANS, Leagues, etc., This narration is one of the best videos I have found that will lift our pride whenever we watch it. GREAT JOB!
This gave me goosebumps. I was 11 when it happened and still remember this like it was yesterday. What a legend
This game was the peak of Olympic hockey history
Thanks for the great insights! Best analysis of this game I’ve ever come across.
This content is what's going to get me through the off season. Keep up the great work.
I remember I was a teenager working in the electronics department at Superstore during this game. We put the game on all the display TVs, all the customers in the store at the time acme to watch overtime with their shopping carts and everything. Place erupted when Sid scored, was epic
What a wonderful trip down memory lane! I always get chills when I hear Chris Cuthbert calling a play too!
I was outside watching the game in Vancouver that day, and still, this video gave me chills like that day back in February2010.... Well said, sir!
Sidney Crosby, the kid who lived up to all the hype. a forever canadian legend. THE GREATEST junior prospect in hockey history
I remember watching this game and I will never forget this goal. Great video!!
Sid was so good so young so fast, younger & faster than anyone in NHL history not named Gretzky.
And he got there with unprecedented hype, expectation and pressure in which he not only met but surpassed.
needed this vid ty
this game was insane to watch live, the tying goal to force OT really ramped up the anxiety
Your style of narration and overall quality is so unbelievably good man. Your videos were the reason I got into hockey this past NHL season. Keep up the great work! Much love from Germany
I remember watching this as a kid with my family and going absolutely bonkers at this goal. The tension throughout OT was palpable and we all wanted the boys to bring the gold so bad
I didnt expect to get emotional. Wow. Good video
When this happened they paused classes and everyone gathered around TVs in school to watch, it was amazing
I remember it being a Sunday night.
Now they stop class to teach weird gender shit 😂
I can still remember sitting in my basement watching Crosby score that goal. I don’t think that memory will ever fade 🇨🇦
Thanks for putting some hockey history, love to learn
you have really re ignited my love for hockey. thanks
One of the most iconic games of hockey ever.
I really enjoy the storytelling in these vids. Keep it up!
I was 14 when this happened! I'm so happy I got to witness such a Canadian historical time. Especially since I'm also from Nova Scotia!
This was such a fun time to be a young hockey fan. 2010 World Juniors in Saskatoon was a great buildup to the Olympics with the 2 teams facing off in prelims and then a legendary gold medal game. I remember being so hyped for the Olympics coming just a few weeks later. As an American who was in 8th grade at the time AND a Sabres fan, it was the coolest thing to see our best player in Ryan Miller steal the show at the tournament. Remember thinking, "wow they really have a chance of winning this thing" after USA won the prelim game. Got home from a bantam playoff game just in time to turn this one on with my dad, was an incredible game. While USA didn't get the win like we were hoping for, I still feel lucky to have watched this game and remember it vividly.
I will never forget sitting at home with my dad watching this game. It was absolutely INSANE how stacked Canada was. When Crosby scored our drinks and food went everywhere but it was awesome.
that first goal by Canada is pure poetry of their game. checking, skill after the turnover. just bang bang bang goal. i had a great feeling with that goal. they were swarming
Amazing video yet again. Amazing storytelling all around in every video. Best hockey CZcamsr of all time
Great little film. Deep Rewind vibes. I would love more hockey history in this style
Great breakdown of this epic moment of hockey history
Love your vids. Extremely well made and entertaining.
What a trip down memory lane. Those Olympics were such a huge thing at that time in my life, especially being from the lower mainland. I was only 9 and had mostly forgotten that game other than how it ended. Thats the only clip you ever see and its tainted by a horible goaltending play. Adding in the lead up is the only way to properly appreciate it and you've done that fantastically as always! 👏
Very cool retrospective!
As a Sabres and Ryan Miller fan, I was conflicted about whether or not I wanted to watch this video. I was at the Winter Classic when Crosby beat Ryan to win it. When he did it again for gold, it was another gut punch. Thanks for letting me relive both moments.
Brilliant video. One of the ultimate sporting moments of history.
I remember watching this game in an apartment in Vancouver, the roar from the goal could be heard throughout the city.
Awesome video, felt like I was watching it again
You should do a long video on the 72 summit series. Full breakdown. People need to know.
your videos are so well made!
your videos are so appreciated, best hockey analyzer page on yt!
Literally as an American I'll always love our neighbors..still best friends with a Canadian I served with on deployment...but we both agree that Team USA was special...and that gold medal game was an absolutely beautiful showcase of competitiveness
God, those days were good. Props to Jerome Iginla for being such a stud throughout the year in Hockey. Hoping his son will take the torch and succeed even further.
Amazing breakdown as always. That clip gives me chills.
BTW, really like your editing style of talking about the play, then clip in fullness as it was originally.
I'll never forget watching this game. I was in grade 12 and the following day alot kids wore their team canada jerseys. It was epic
I’ve never really appreciated how good of a pass that is from Iginla, awesome stuff!
I'll never forget where I was when this happened... 146 east 29th street, North Vancouver. Everyone we passed afterwards was honking
The golden goal will forever be sealed in my memory as one of my favourite hockey moments.
This Olympics also had another historic gold medal game in women’s hockey, which Canada won as well. 2010 was a great time to be a Canadian hockey fan.
It will forever be a “where we’re you” moment for Canadians. I was watching in Mexico!
Man, I was 9 years old when I witnessed Sidney Crosby's golden goal.
My favorite game ever, have watched the ending so many times what a great call "the golden goal"
Crosby was so clutch at such a young age. First Stanley cup was when he was either 20 or 21 I can’t remember which one. And then golden goal as a 22 year old. Sid doesn’t get enough respect and recognition for how insane he was in his early 20s. Put 20 year old Crosby against 20 year McDavid in a playoff series and it wouldn’t even be close, pens would steam roll them.
This was a great video.
As an American kid, I was devastated but now I can appreciate this in the context of Sidney Crosby’s career. It’s been fun watching this guys greatness over the years.
Also what a mistake to not let NHL players play in the Olympics the last few years. Just think of how many great matchups hockey was robbed of
I was 6 and I remember this. Absolutely legendary
Really a fantastic video
might be the most stacked tournament ever. Every team had an insane roster.
I was 9 years old and that game is a core memory for me
Legendary content as usual
