I’m going to try now, even though it’s been a decade since I last thought about it.
I believe he had 4 goals, 4 assists that playoff run.
Goals.
The outwaiting Cujo in tight for our second in 18 seconds against Wings.
The no look shot on a two on one, against the Sharks I believe.
Assists
The spinorama assist to give Chris Clarke a tap to tie game 6 against TB.
The one touch tap back pass to a streaking Donovan for a breakaway goal against Sharks.
Oh another goal, he like took it from the boards near the blueline, and like drove the net from the outside, protected the puck and pulled it across the crease with him to tuck it around the goalie. Forget who that was against.
And not a point, but of course he took out cujo at the end of game 4 to earn a game suspension but get in the heads of the Wings.
So I can still recall 5, but I know for a while I could recount all 8, they were all memorable in some way.
He was one hell of a player.

He scored a heckuva a goal against the Sens down the stretch - which sounds like the goal you described. Blew the lid off the Dome - I was at the game and it was the loudest I had heard the dome....and a taste of what was to come in the playoffs.
