Baseball - N/A

 

Football - Oakland vs Tampa Bay (I LOVED watching Oakland get their sorry asses handed to them. It shut those Raider-Nation scumbags up, and it was glorious) and college, I gotta go with Miami vs Ohio State.

 

Basketball - Sacramento vs Dallas - 2nd regular season meeting in Dallas.

 

Hockey - Too many to list. I have a lot of favorites from this year, most of which were from the playoffs.

Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals (1-0 Ducks in 2OT)

Game 7 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals (Minnesota wins in OT)

Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals (emotional night for Paul Kariya)

 

Pretty much the entire Marlins v. Giants NLDS series.

I personally loved the Yankees/Cubs series back in June. Specifically the Wood v. Clemens game, where Roger got denied his 300th win. Great stuff.

 

Cubs/Marlins Game 1 is great, even though the Cubbies lost.

Cubs/Marlins Game 3 is even better, for obvious reasons.

Game 6 between Leafs and Flyers.

 

I was there up in the cheap seats and watched an emotionally draining game that saw overtime periods that had me living and dying by every shot. (All the chances Toronto got in the first OT, the penalty they had to kill) until they finally were able to light the lamp in the second OT.

 

I agree with all the other hockey games listed and I'd like to add-

 

Leafs v. Flyers Game 3 (Yea I was there too)

Detroit v. Anaheim Game 1

MLB - Boston/Philadelphia - 13th inning Todd Pratt walk off.

 

Spring Darlington (Busch and Winston Cup) were great.

 

Hockey - Flyers/Leafs Game 7 (I realize this isn't the best, but it is a personal fave, I was there, and the Flyers need some love in this thread)

Dallas/Anaheim 5 OT game

 

I stayed up for the whole game and went to bed right when it ended at 2am, and woke up a half hour later because I had a plane to catch.

 

Lets just say, that was a long but fun day

NBA - Houston vs Los Angeles Lakers. Yao vs Shaq for the first time ever. Yao blocks Shaq 3 times in a row, the game goes to overtime and Yao clinches it with a dunk. Steve Francis also played the best game of his life that night.

 

And an honorable mention to the Lakers vs Spurs playoff game where the Lakers almost make a huge comeback in the 4th quarter but just miss when Robert Horry's 3-Pointer goes in and out.

 

NCAA Basketball - Syracuse vs Kansas for the NCAA Championship.

The last 3 games of the A's/Boston series were all INCREDIBLE, INCREDIBLE games, and Game 1 was badass as well (even though the Red Sox lost). With the exception of Game 2, all the games were SUPERB, and this might have been the best postseason series I've ever seen.

 

Besides that, I'd have to go with the Bucs/Colts game from MNF a week or two ago, which was superb. I'll let the hockey fans handle their sport, and I know I'm forgetting a really good NBA game from earlier this year. However, my pick for current GOTY is....

 

Maryland's first-round game in the NCAA tournament against UNC-Wilmington. Maryland's guy hitting the running 3 while falling out of bounds as time expires to win it....god, what a great, great fucking game. I hate Maryland, so I was pissed when they won, but GODDAMN, that was a good game.
