What is the greatest ‘miracle moment’ in hockey history?

The Wednesday Night Hockey crew discuss the most miraculous moments in the history of hockey, including Canada’s comeback to win gold at the 2014 Olympics and the Los Angeles Kings’ double OT victory to clinch the Stanley Cup.

If there’s one thing you can’t do with these Los Angeles Dodgers, it’s give them extra opportunities.

However, on Wednesday night, with a 5-0 lead in the fifth inning of Game 5 of the World Series, that’s exactly what the New York Yankees did.

After Kiké Hernández led off the inning with a single against Yankees ace Gerrit Cole, the defensive mistakes started to pile up.

First, Tommy Edman reached on a dropped line drive by centre fielder Aaron Judge. Then, with runners on first and second, Will Smith hit a ground ball to shortstop Anthony Volpe, who bounced a throw, trying to get the lead runner and third base — loading the bases with the top of the Dodgers order looming and still no outs.

But Cole picked up his defence. The reigning AL Cy Young winner struck out Gavin Lux and Shohei Ohtani, moving one out away from Houdini-ing his way out of the inning before he made a sloppy mistake of his own.

Cole forced Mookie Betts to hit a spinning ground ball to first baseman Anthony Rizzo, but instead of running to cover the base, the right-hander started heading towards the dugout, allowing Betts to reach and a run to score.

From there, the Dodgers made New York pay.

Freddie Freeman lined a two-strike fastball into centre field, driving in Edman and Smith, making the score 5-3.

Teoscar Hernández provided the decisive blow of the inning, doubling on a fly ball off the wall in centre to clear the bases and even the score at five, silencing the Yankee Stadium crowd.

Cole would eventually escape the inning, forcing Kiké Hernández to ground out to short.
