Every Sens fan remembers this one. At the 16 minute mark, Alfie steps onto the ice and deflects a shot from Wade Redden. The puck goes in and the Senators go on to win the game. Alfie’s goal allowed the Senators to be part of their first (and only, to-date) Stantley Cup Final game victory.
Alfie scores the overtime goal and also the series winner against the Sabres in the Eastern Conference Finals. It’s no surprise that the first and only time that the Sens were able to make it to the Stanley Cup Finals was because of a goal by Daniel Alfredsson. He was an offensive machine.
Alfie runs over Darcy Tucker, a forward for the Leafs, causing him to turn the puck over. Alfie recovered the puck and ended up scoring the game-winning goal on the same play.
Alfie returns home to the Nation’s Capital and participates in the Sen’s warmup skate. He gives a speech afterwards and thanks Ottawa for the many years of success and support. The cheers roared throughout the entire arena, as Alfie had once and for all come home. It was truly an emotional night for all.
Alfie scores not only the first shootout winner for the Senators, but he actually scores the NHL’s first ever shootout winner. Quite the milestone for an impressive player like Alfredsson!
