It never gets old. Well, unless you're American.
Six years ago Sunday, Sidney Crosby scored arguably the most significant goal of his remarkable movie-like career. He went five-hole on Ryan Miller in overtime of the gold-medal game at the 2010 Olympics, giving Canada a 3-2 win over the U.S. and victory on home soil in Vancouver.
Chills. Still. (Unless you're American.)

The rivalry between the Colorado Avalanche and Detroit Red Wings saw its latest chapter written Saturday, when the teams met outdoors at Coors Field in Denver, home of baseball's Colorado Rockies.
Detroit won 5-3, thanks to outdoorsman Brad Richards, who scored the game-winning goal in his record fifth outdoor game. The buzz, however, surrounded the temperature - it was the warmest NHL game played outside - and the fake snow pumped in to add to the ambiance.
Here are seven lasting images from the game:
A hockey hug outdoors is the ultimate hockey hug.
"Snow."
Under the lights.
Game-winner.
Roots.
Salute.

Mika Zibanejad's first career hat trick Saturday in Calgary stands as the fastest in the history of the Ottawa Senators.

His feat, which also lifted the Senators to a comeback win over the Flames, obliterates the previous mark held by Marian Hossa, who turned the trick in just a little over seven minutes back in 2003.
The natural hat trick also saw him become the first Senators players to score three straight since Jason Spezza in October of 2013.
The fastest trifecta in league history, by the way, belongs to Bill Mosienko, who scored three goals in 21 seconds in 1952.

Johnny Gaudreau doesn't appear torn to pieces by Jiri Hudler's departure.
Gaudreau scored his 24th of the season with a delicious transition snipe over the shoulder of Ottawa Senators goaltender Craig Anderson - a goal that matches his rookie scoring output from a season ago, in 20 fewer games.
Hudler, his long-time opposite winger, was sent to the Florida Panthers for a pair of draft picks earlier Saturday.
