1. Jean-Gabriel Pageau – 2017 Second Round, Game 2 vs. New York Rangers (2OT) 6/10, 10/10, 7/10, 23/30

Importance: The Sens took Game 1 of their second-round series to the Rangers at home, but facing a very good New York that actually finished ahead of Ottawa in the standings, a 2-0 lead was huge. 6/10

Quality: A brilliant individual effort by Pageau, who skates the length of the ice before beating Lundqvist on a 2-on-1. All of the bonus points awarded for everything surrounding this goal including Pageau’s cult following among Sens fans, the fact that he closed his eyes on the shot, and oh yeah, this was his fourth goal of the game that capped of a crazy comeback where he scored two in the last five minutes just to force overtime! 10/10

The next step: For many Sens fans, this was the moment where it started to feel like the 2017 team could be for real. They went on the beat New York in six before being on the receiving end of a double-overtime backbreaker in Game 7 of the Conference Finals against the defending and eventual Cup champion Penguins. As you probably know, the franchise went off the rails on and off the ice afterwards, but the memories of the 2017 run are still fresh in many Sens fans’ minds. 7/10

Final Score: There was really no question who would take this spot. I was so confident that I included it as the header before I even checked to see what the other ones were. Is that biased? Yeah probably, but it’s also right because the Pageau goal is the best multi-overtime goal in Sens history, hands down. 23/30
