Owen Nolan's called shot for sure. Also, Evgeni Nabokov robbing Ilya Kovalchuk blind twice in the first period.
The 2009 game and weekend in Montreal was the most fun I've ever had at a hockey event but I was wearing a journo tag so it probably doesn't count for the purposes of this competition.
In 1993, when I was still allowed to be a partisan, the Stanley Cup celebrated its centennial and the All-Star Game was in Montreal.
Wandering towards my train one mid-afternoon in an abandoned Windsor Station, I noticed some big glass showcases and decided to take a closer look since there was still a half hour to train time.
Turns out it was a travelling HHoF exhibit. Sitting all by his lonesome at a table was a dumpy little older fellow who played a bit of hockey in his younger days.
Got my picture taken with the Stanley Cup for a five dollar donation to amateur hockey and chatted for a while with Gump Worsley.
A couple years later when my son was about four years old I showed him the photo of me and the silverware.
His eyes got real wide and he exclaimed, in wonder (although it may have been sheer surprise) "You won the Stanley Cup?"
I rarely amaze my son these days but he'd look goood in the swag.
Without a doubt it was Mark Messier going four for four at the 1996 All Star Skills Competition in Boston. It was the second time he did it. The first time was in 1991.
Has to be the 2000 AllStar game in Toronto--I was a volunteer at the NHL FanFest held in conjunction with the game---met a lot of people and had a great time--one of my best hockey memories ever
The American anthem in Chicago when the original Gulf War broke out.
Wayne Gretzky putting on a show at the All Star game in Edmonton just months after being traded.
Mario's 6 points in 1988
Being a Leaf fan , it had to be Damphousse's unexpected 4 goal game.

Don't forget to leave your email folks. you can't win if I can't contact you!
Least favourite? As a Vancouver Canucks fan, Gretzky scoring 4 goals in 1983.
Favourites? How about 1975's game? It truly was an All-Star game when I was a kid - Dryden, Orr, Esposito, Clarke, Sittler, Lafleur, Dionne, Mikita, Martin, etc.
Of course, there was also 1971 - when a Canuck first played. Look at that team - Orr, Espo, Howe, Bucyk, Cournoyer, Park, Perreault, Ratelle, Mahovlichs and others vs. Hulls, Tony O, Clarke, Mikita, Stapleton, White. A good gathering of players that made up Team Canada '72.
I'm not Canadian enough to qualify, but there was nothing like the ovation at the Joe when Gordie Howe skated out for the Wales Conference in 1980. Here was a 50-year-old man playing against a 19-year-old kid named Gretzky in his first NHL all-star game. It was even better than that because I went with my father, who grew up with Gordie as his idol. So when Gordie goes into the corner and gets a loose puck, throws a behind-the-back pass to Real Cloutier in front of the net for an easy goal, I thought we were going to have a riot when the press ignored our MVP chants.
