  1. Good picks. But how can you leave out the winter classic?
    I have to say that is better than Sid netting a shootout goal and winning the first shootout ever for the pens.

  2. why have they not included the Mario 5 goal- 5 different ways game yet? (i know it was NYE, but i cant remember what year.)

    i have it on VHS, but…i mean, really, its VHS.
