Dirty Dangle Flashback 2010

It's been a fun year for Dirty Dangle. Since launching our site in late October, we've had some fun times with the site. We've become a dotcom, interacted with people in hockey who we otherwise wouldn't have had the chance to, and we've made some people laugh. On the eve of a new year, we want to share with our favourite moments in hockey, as well as with the site.

Sidney Crosby's Golden Goal is easily our top moment of the year. Crosby was having a pretty bad game, but there he was in overtime, potting the tournament winner against the best goalie in the NHL. Replays still give us goosebumps, and if you look closely in the above clip, you can see just how badly Ryan Getzlaf is going bald at 0:40. We'll always remember where we were that day for the rest of our lives.

As for our favourite Dirty Dangle posts:

Mark - Boot Hockey 101

So many great posts in such a short time, but I am a fan of the sentimental posts. My favourite so far was the Boot Hockey post. So many nights were spent outside playing with old buddies and my brothers. It was a great time and every game felt like game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals.

Tobias - My Encounter With Rick Nash

This brought back some great memories from when I met him and I became his biggest fan for a few months. It also brought some hilarious shared encounters our readers have had with other NHLers. We still have some other encounters to share with you, so stay tuned for a Marc Andre Fleury piece in the new year.

I'm sure you've watched or read many Year in Review shows this week, but here are some links to some highlights from the past year we've enjoyed reading:

• Houses of Hockey has a Year in Review of the Hockey Blogosphere, we're sure they just forgot to add us, but we'll be there next year.
• Puck Daddy has the Top 10 Greatest Goals of 2010, they are pretty dirty.
• This is one of our favourite posts by Down Goes Brown of 2010, The Leafs/Kings Game Six 1993 Live Blog

Have fun tonight and remember the great year that was 2010.
