10. Have another waffle, Toronto!
While losing to an NHL team that doesn't even exist anymore, a Leafs fan decided that it would be amusing to throw waffles onto the ice...during the game. That also made every hockey blogger's life much easier.
9. You want Gerbe, you get double Gerbe.
Trailing 4-0 to the Islanders, Buffalo's Nathan Gerbe decided he'd cut the deficit in less time than it takes for Brian Rolston to take one shot.
8. No goaltender required
Steven Stamkos is an elite goal scorer, but one night in Pittsburgh, things didn't go his way, especially when he was awarded a penalty shot.

The downfall of Sidney Crosby's season began at the Winter Classic, when David Steckel knocked him out, leaving Crosby shaken up.

5. Finding top gear
Okay, so I'm a little bias, but here's one that Devils fans probably won't forget for a long time, as Ilya Kovalchuk continued to pile up game-winning goals. This one would be the only one of the night for either team.

2. Stanley Cup Champions
Can you believe the Bruins had the nerve to go into Vancouver and indirectly cause riots??!
1. Saving the best for last
Okay, this one's a bit of a joke, but I couldn't resist. Brett Lebda scored a goal in Montreal this year, and the world shook. Don't believe me? Well, a) I was there, so I can tell you and b) here's video proof.
