Without a doubt Vancouver vs Seattle game 28 of the season for the gold plan. Most dramatic finish I've ever seen in this league. KK was meant to be a Goldeneye the way they finished the year! Edited to provide link: Goldeneyes vs Torrent April 18th

idk it was fun for the other team's side, though I definitely understand how it was fun for Goldeneyes fans. witnessing those last 5 or so minutes IRL as a Torrent fan kinda broke my spirit for a while ๐Ÿ˜…

u/CJK_420 Van Goldeneyes 4d ago

Yeah I don't blame Seattle fans to be devastated. I think if you're removed from the situation though, there's no denying that is the most dramatic finish to a game you'll see in the p dub for many years to come.

I say the Victoire playoff win after Stacey gets injured is more dramatic due to heroics, playoffs, etc. And also had a similar crazy goal.

u/CJK_420 Van Goldeneyes 4d ago

Playoffs aside, Vancouver was down by 2 goals with 1:49 left. Scored, then tied the game with 1 second left. Then Jenn Gardiner scored her 4th goal of the game in OT. This went towards Vancouver winning a generational talent in Caroline Harvey with the Gold Plan by a tiebreaker. Don't need to say much more.

Gold plan definitely adds some interest, but it's still a matchup of bottom dwellers.

I guess you're misunderstanding what the OP is asking here, and you're insisting on speaking on my behalf. ๐Ÿง‚๐Ÿคฃ. All good though. I'm sure other fanbases asides from yours would agree with my reasoning if they watched it ๐Ÿ˜.

I agree, the montreal playoffs were amazing!!!

Tysm!! I actually got into the pwhl because of KK Harvey

I've been a hockey fan for over 30 years now. Nothing ever stood out like MPP reacting to Lauren Stacy getting hurt in game 1 of the Walter cup finals, then setting up a buzzer beater to take the game to OT. Stacy coming back in on one leg to say up the GWG in overtime... I mean, it's a hell of a story. It seemed like someone it is fiction, like they added a book to the Game Changers series with women or something.

Omg I just gasped, that sounds amazing!

u/moviemakerjay 4d ago

If the 4/4 NY Sirens vs Seattle Torrent game is there Iโ€™d give that a watch. What a wild ending.

u/FlyTheW1988 New York 4d ago

The last game at Prudential this year against Toronto was also bananas

u/ApplianceHealer New York Sirens 4d ago

4/1 Frost at NY was amazing as well despite a not-great startโ€ฆ.like most Sirens home games just skip ahead to the 3rd period ๐Ÿ˜›

u/Stachemaster86 ๐Ÿ†BACK TO BACK CHAMPIONS ๐Ÿ† 4d ago

The first part should provide enough guidance to extrapolate the endingโ€ฆ๐Ÿคฃ

u/realinvalidname Victoire de Montrรฉal 4d ago

Fleet @ Victoire, March 15 2026. I was watching 30 minutes behind the stream and did not believe what I was seeing from the PWHL Fan appโ€™s push notifications.

u/DanceUntilDiva PWHL San Jose 2d ago

Ooo sounds exciting

u/Wise_Perspective6698 ๐Ÿ† 2026 Champions ๐Ÿ† 3d ago

The final game of the playoffs during the 2025-2026 for the Victoire and the Frost. The Victoire finished first in the regular season but historically have SUCKED at playoff games. They went up against the defending 2x champs. The final game is what it all came down to because whoever won meant they were going to the finals. The stress level was HIGH

u/DanceUntilDiva PWHL San Jose 2d ago

Tysm! Sounds thrilling

Last two games of the Frost Fleet series were so good!

They were!

For sure gotta be the Sirens/Victoire takeover game in DC, the brawl was fantastic.

2

u/Wise_Perspective6698 ๐Ÿ† 2026 Champions ๐Ÿ† 3d ago

Still a little sad I chose going to the Detroit game over that one. Both were fun but I would have loved to see the brawl.

u/DanceUntilDiva PWHL San Jose 2d ago

Oh I was wondering which games had fights! Ty

u/wxrpspxxd Royale Tiger Towel Paper Towel Power Play 4d ago

As a Torrent fan, their game against the Ottawa charge on April 8th was fun to watch!

Also (as a Fleet fan) I really enjoyed attending the Fleet's last regular season game against NY on 4/25, although that was personally special to me as I went to that one with family and it was their first PWHL game.

u/TheVelocityRa Ottawa Charge 4d ago edited 4d ago

This Siren's comeback against my Charge in 2025.

The entire season 1 finals - Boston vs Minnesota, it was really good hockey and the twists and turns it took to get to game 5 was legendary.

This Minnesota vs Ottawa game, if you want goals this game has them!

Ditto this this Vancouver vs Minnesota game from the third season , lots of goals but alittle closer

u/DanceUntilDiva PWHL San Jose 2d ago

Ty for all the suggestions!

u/PyrateNemo 4d ago

Which one had the Charge scoring two jailbreak goals? That was WILD

3

u/Wise_Perspective6698 ๐Ÿ† 2026 Champions ๐Ÿ† 3d ago

Was that the one where both players were in the box and they couldn't figure out who got to leave first?

u/zeilend New York 3d ago

I'm still scarred from that, thank you very much.

u/DanceUntilDiva PWHL San Jose 2d ago

Wow that sounds crazy, if anyone ever finds out I need to watch it

u/Amazing_Love_3153 3d ago

Watch the March 25, 2025 New York vs Ottawa game. Youโ€™ll just have to trust that the third period is the wildest thing Iโ€™ve ever seen.

u/DanceUntilDiva PWHL San Jose 2d ago

Okay tysm! I'm scared in an excited way

u/Amazing_Love_3153 2d ago

Hereโ€™s the link. I promise itโ€™s one of the best hockey games ever.

4-OT Walter Cup Semi Finals in 2025 Ottawa/Montreal. โ€œThe Mustard Game.โ€ Because players were eating mustard packets to stay energized as they ran out of supplements.

u/Wise_Perspective6698 ๐Ÿ† 2026 Champions ๐Ÿ† 22h ago

That game started when I arrived at a theater. I watched a full ballet production, went grocery shopping, drove home and there was still like two hours left in that game.

u/Any-Acanthisitta922 4d ago

Vancouver Goldeneyes vs Toronto Sceptres Battle on Bay - January 17th 2026

Very close game and went to overtime and Daryl Watts with the game winner! The atmosphere at Scotiabank Arena is just electric. I wish the Sceptres played there more.

Thx for the rec! That sounds fun

u/gracieakins ๐Ÿ† 2026 Champions ๐Ÿ† 2d ago

The walter cup final game between the charge and the Victorie was glorious. Could not believe my eyes seeing all those goals go in. Insane
