(Yes, I'm being homerish, but you can't deny the "Another one by Orpik!")

Answer 1

THE MOST series changing shift was Kronwall breaking Malones nose (open ice hit). The PENS went scoreless for 6 periods after that hit. Hard for me to find anything in the playoffs (when it mattered) that was more series changing.

Answer 2

That was a sweet shift

Answer 4

No question.

Willie Mitchell's shift in Dallas. The one where he took a shot of the ankle and nose and stayed on the ice bleeding.

Answer 5

Please excuse my homerness.

Zetterberg's defensive play on the 5-on-3 against Pittsburgh in Game 4.

Answer 6

This year, not sure which one, but Lidstrom definitely had the best shift.  He can dominate a game, and most people watching won't even notice him.   Forget Yzerman and Zetterburg - Lidstrom is the one constant force in the Wings last 10 years and the reason they have had the success they have.   Nick was as perfect this season as usual too.

All time...probably Bobby Orr's flying goal

Answer 7

It was a GREAT shift...question...was his last hit not a boarding? I think everyone was so caught up in what a fantastic shift he was having...that they overlooked the last hit. Might have been boarderline boarding?

Answer 8

Answer 9

I agree with you, Orpik was unbelievable!!!!

Also, when Gonchar was injured during Game 5 when he came back out for the powerplay, and assisted on Sykora's game winner, was outstanding.

Answer 10
