I thought it would be fun to look at my sports teams and count down the 60 greatest games of the decade for my teams. Teams include: Red Sox, Brewers, Lightning, Magic, Badgers football and Basketball, and Packers. Eligible games are from January 1st 2010 through December 31st 2019. Lets start with number 60.
April 7th 2012: Lightning Vs Jets: Stamkos Scores 60th goal of the season.
Funny enough, the 60th greatest sports game of the decade is the game where Steven Stamkos scored his 60th goal of the season. It was the final game of the season and Stamkos was sitting on 59 goals. With the Lightning out of the playoff picture the only drama was whether or not Stammer could net one more and put him at 60. He did so halfway through the second period becoming just the second player in the last 35 years to score 60 goals in a single season. This is the only game on the countdown that focuses more on an individual accomplishment, and also the only game where my team lost as the Lightning did end up losing this game, but it was too hard to leave out what is definitely the single greatest individual accomplishment from any of my teams players this decade.
