I remember those days like it was yesterday. Whenever Burr and Kes were on the ice on the penalty kill, they were always a threat to score shorthanded.

The goal that saved Alain Vigneault’s job.

His forehand, backhand, was money. I don’t know why he stopped doing that.

This was the moment that sealed my fandom. I grew up in Manitoba, cheered for the Habs but had been living in Vancouver for a few years at this point. I remember the game was so high stakes, and I absolutely lost it when he scored.

This was a defining moment of this entire generation imo. People who weren’t paying attention at the time will never understand the significance this goal had. I remember watching it in person and there was a collective sigh of relief, I believe they went on a bit of a run after that as well

For those who don’t remember: the Canucks had gone through an absolutely horrendous stretch right before this goal. Luongo had been hurt and struggled coming back, sundin started very slow when he joined the team in the new year. They had lost something like 10 straight at home. I remember being at a couple of them and it was rough.
**This goal changed everything** you could say they went on a 10 game or so heater after this, but another way of looking at it is that this goal sent this group to another level where they would stay for the next three ish years.
What a moment. This was so fucking fun

God, I remember being at that game. Canucks had lost eight in a row, and nine in a row at home, and had blown a 2-0 lead earlier in the game. They were something like 3-13 in their last 16.
Utter mayhem when that goal was scored. People are talking about it saving Vigneault’s job, and they aren’t exaggerating, bearing in mind they’d missed the playoffs the season before.

This was insane when it happened. We were hitting rock bottom. The mood was sooo bad. We were trying so hard but just failing failing failing. Then this desperate spark of life.

The was insane pressure on Gillis from Aqua and his shills in the media to fire AV but he did not buckle.

One of the most important goals of the last 20 years and it wasn’t even his most important goal.
