Yeah, I'm sorry but there is nothing about that goal that is forgettable. Granted, I think he had a little luck to make contact with the puck at the right time to get it to go in. I don't think many other players could even think about putting that puck in the net in that situation.

Here's a few more...



Calling the shot on Hasek....awesome


and finally can't forget about my man Pavel

Anze's gonna be a really great player.

I mean, he already is...but he's only in his second year.

Such a great flood of awesome talent coming into the league in the past few years.
