Listening to the fan960 this morning into work and they had a fun topic. That reminds me of past sports conversations with friends/family while camping or at the bar.

These would be mine.

Game 4 1970 St Louis. Bobby Orr scores the SC winning goal in OT and goes flying into history! Orr would be named the Conn Smythe winner as well. Voted the number 1 sports moment of all time by North American sports writers!

Game 6 1989 in Montreal. Lanny McDonald comes out of the Penalty box and scores on a partial breakaway which would be his last NHL goal. The Calgary Flames in game 6 would become the only team to beat Montreal for the SC Cup on Montreal Ice!

Atlanta 1996 Donovan Baily would shock the world setting a new Olympic and World Record time winning the 100m Gold Medal and then later would help the 4x100m Canada relay team to beat the USA on American soil. Baily's 9.84 would not be broken until 2008!

1984 Superbowl XVIII Los Angeles. Marcus Allen of the LA Raiders would set 2 superbowl records the longest run in a superbowl on a broken play for a 74 yd TD and 209 total yds. The Raiders would crush the Redskins 38-9. Al Davis afterwards would give the the famous "Just Win Baby" speech!

Game 5 2004 in Boston. The NY Yankees having been up 3-0 in the series. Now going into game 5 the Red Sox winning game 4 are down 2 runs in the 8th with 2 out, they score 2 to runs to force extra innings. Boston would win a 5hr epic game in the 14th. The crowd would celebrate with "who's your Papi" chant to the NY fans. Ortiz becomes a Boston hero. Boston would later win the series in NY in 7 and then the 2004 world series vs St. Loius!
