OT - All-Time Best Games in Sports

[bcbgcbrcb]

Here are my top 3 in order (watched all three games in their entirety on TV):

1. USA vs. USSR (1980 Lake Placid Olympics Hockey Game) - When the USA team went ahead in the 3rd period with nearly 10 minutes to go, that had to be the longest 10 minutes of my life. The countdown seemed to go on forever, minute by minute..........

2. 1994 Stanley Cup Semi-Finals Game 7 (NY Rangers vs. NJ Devils) - The whole Rangers mystique of 1954 being their last Stanley Cup - holding a one goal lead as the clock ticked down under 10 seconds in the 3rd period, you just knew they would find a way to lose and, sure enough, the Devils scored with 8 seconds left sending the game into overtime. I recall the Devils having a breakaway in the first overtime and the shot on goal beat the Rangers goalie and hit the crossbar and bounced away from the net, again nearly a loss for the Rangers. Of course, we all know how it ended in the second overtime with the Matteau goal...........

3. 1985 NCAA Men's Basketball Championship Game (Georgetown vs. Villanova) - Georgetown was so dominant that year and so much better than Villanova that a miraculous shooting night by Villanova, 89% from the floor in the second half and 78% for the game was only good enough to squeak out a 2 point win and the National Championship over Patrick Ewing and the Hoyas.........

Anyway, those are my top three, how about yours?
