last quarter, rogers canada center, leaves vs penguines, leaves leading 4-3, 14 seconds to go, illegal body check, penalty-call made, game continued, already thrilled by sydney crosby’s performance, penalty-call ignored, game goes on, one pass, slipped by the penguines’ attacker, re-attempt, and scoredddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd with only 4 seconds remaining..
** and 4 rows up from the penalty box, somebody from audience gets a heart-attack**, game goes to over-time, and gets halted because of WHAT A SENSATION!!!
sighz during overtime period, leaves scored first and won the game, maybe will go all the way to the atlantic-conference’s final..
but oh well.. certain events’ sensations dont go away.. i was mighty young to remember the FEELING of the javed miandad’s last ball’s six.. and after more than a decade, whenever i watch that last delivery, i get goosebumps at the thought of the situation of that time, the crowd, the score, the nail-biting moments…
semi final of 1992 world cup… that was another one ..
1988, starting of waqar younis, watched this rookie taking up entire spotlight in sharjah, and then west indies visited pakistan.. i remember going to national stadium, to watch two people. . bishop and waqar younis playing different sides.. and i gotta tell ya.. when waqar used to take the run-up, crowd used to go wild..
wish i could’ve been in that SO FAMOUS “oval match” that put fazal mehmood on spotlight…
wish i could be present on october 8, 1956, detroit dodgers vs yankees.. or the 1980 olympics win of united states over russia in hockey..
after michael jordan’s FINAL retirement, i re-dugged his entire career’s highlight.. and was stunned in the end, when chicago bulls retired jersey#23.. it was one of the most emotional moments in sports history..
1998 my team won a canadian national title (on highschool level) of robotics by like 2-3 seconds margin … and some memories stick to u forever..
