2. Martin St. Louis 2OT Winner, Game Six 2004
Equally iconic as Fedotenko’s two goals in game seven is Marty St. Louis’ game winner in double overtime in game six in Calgary. 33 seconds into the second extra period, St. Louis sent the series back across the continent and made the wishes for game seven a reality for the Lightning.
Calgary was a goal away from their second Stanley Cup in franchise history. Some would say they did get it, but an infamous no-goal call in the third period of game six left the door open just a crack for the Lightning to hang around.
After an entire overtime period with the cup ready to come out of its box, the second overtime’s quick ending thanks to St. Louis goes down as one of the most iconic goals in Lightning history, by one of the most beloved players in Lightning history.
