Hockey makes the top 10...did pigs start flying? Just kidding. Dunks are so over rated know a days. Might get some angry basketball comments now. :)

ESPN always makes some lame slam dunk as the #1 play. It's ridicules.

This is the 2nd time I can remember DU hockey in the top 10 though.

Memorable goal in an otherwise dull and ponderous game that seemed to take forever....

agree on game taking forever. That 2nd period felt like it lasted 2 hours. I know it didn't, but man that was felt long.

EVERY goalie, if he plays long enough, will give up a goal like that, somewhere, somehow. Here's another, but Makowski's was longer..

It was debated on ESPN's Around the Horn. They debated to blame Genoe or credit Makowski.

I heard it was on Pardon the Interuption as well.

I'll keep looking for links, but if you find it first, post the links here.
