Stanley Cup Finals:
Game 5
Fleury and Osgood both standing on their heads making impossible save after impossible save in one of the most exciting hockey game ever played.
Red Wings win in an amazing third overtime.

2008 Super Bowl
Giant defensive line totally dominates and beats down the Patriot front offensive line as the Giants upset the undefeated Patriots with a thrilling fourth quarter drive highlighted by Tyree and his athletic, acrobatic over the shoulder catch.

2008 Olympics
Michael Phelps reaches deep down as he edges a game Serbian swimmer Cavic by a fingernail.
Phelps earns his seventh gold medal in one of the most exciting races of any kind.

Interesting thread BillHill; Game 5 was a beauty, but I have to say the Superbowl.

Even though I'm a Pats fan, I'd have to say Superbowl

Super Bowl. The E. Manning/Tyree play was out of this world.

The Super Bowl, only because it 1 game event and the vast majority of games have been terrible. Had the Pit-DET game been game 7, then maybe that one.

If you ask me NYG-NE SB vs the 1994 Cup Finals Game 7. Give NYR vs VAN all day.

1994 Cup was indeed one of the best ever, but what prompted me to create this thread was me thinking this morning about how us sports fans have been treated to great events over the past calender year.
And we have.

olympics by a mile...

super bowl was a pretty boring game until all the action in the last few minutes.

Disagree with you on the SuperBowl. Most people kept waiting for NE to take it to the Giants, they never got the opportunity. There was the tension of the Giants attempting to stop NE everytime they had the ball.

Out of these it was the Super Bowl for me, but the Wimbledon finals was BY FAR the best sporting event this year IMO, and the best sporting event I have ever seen.

To be honest, and I am a huge hockey fan, the Detroit/Pitt series did absolutely nothing for me. For the most part it was just complete domination. I enjoyed watching the Dallas/Anaheim series more than any game in the Stanley Cup finals.

Damn, I was meaning to put the Fed/Nadal match in this thread as option 4.

Shit.

Penguins won the triple OT game. Wings won the Cup in Game 6.

Good catch, I was doing this from the top of my head, should have gone the extra mile and editted myself.
