We lead this list off with a surprise appearance from a guy who most Canadian hockey fans likely consider the most surprising Olympian since NHL players started participating in 1998. It's Rob Zamuner with some help from two Canadian legends.

Canada pummelled the Swiss en route to winning Olympic gold in 2010. Marie-Philip Poulin put Canada up 8-1 with one of the nastiest dangles you'll see. 

3. Mario lets one through for Kariya

Team Canada pulled even with USA in the 2002 gold medal game when Mario Lemieux let a pass from Chris Pronger slide through his legs to an open Paul Kariya. No assist for Mario, but a great non-play. 

2. Joe Sakic buries America in 2002

Joe Sakic put Canada up by three in the 2002 gold medal game.
