Absolute Perfect Darts

[CupInSIX]

This goal from Jack Hughes this year came to mind.

I thought he had the worst shot in the NHL?

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

One of the most picture-perfect Kessel goals.

Goalie got a piece.

This goal from Jack Hughes this year came to mind.

Excellent comparable. A lot of posters posting amazing shots, but few had the LIMITED "space" in which to work with and nail. A shot that if they tried a thousand times might only get once.

This one comes to mind:

I thought this thread was going to be about menthols

 

[Panda Bear]

Once per game? Man oh man is that not true.

Also note how Saros is cheating and not squared at all to the shooter.

If this goal happens once a game and could be easily remedied by standing up, why do no NHL goalies do that?

Because then the shooter will see the goalie is standing up, pass it off to someone who will rip a one-time, and the goalie won't be able to have set himself in front of the shot yet because he had been too busy standing at the post.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Crosby comes to mind, on those short side shots where there's not much daylight.


Forsberg no-look

The GOAT

I'll never understand how the Devils players just backed off of Sakic like that. They needed to be in his grill.

Sad thing is the Devils absolutely dominated the first period of game 6. Determined to win the cup on home ice. But then Adam Foote came along with a harmless shot outside the blue line....

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Every once in a while Kopitar just uncorks one that makes you go “whoa please shoot much more”



And for sheer “f*** you I’m not passing” and seasonal significance here’s Stoll

 

[Alwalys]

Off Tim Peel's junk and picks the corner, all with the same shot.

Bonus points: goalie almost saved it

So, if it had ricocheted off the goalie and in, would it have counted?

not a game breaking goal, but probs one of the sickest goals ive seen.

screened backhand ripper, top corner far side from the f-o circle...

only this guy could ever do it

To be fair, it was against Antti Niemi, not exactly a paragon of positioning.

 

[Sparksrus3]

In honour of Trocheck's disgusting go ahead goal, what shots do you recall being better/similar? Or near perfect shots? Try to post ones with the goalie having almost saved it for bonus points.

Just wow.

Patrick Kane’s Stanley Cup winner ? It was so perfect that only he knew it went in....

 

[Mickey Marner]

Sundin's 500th was a perfect shot. One of those times where a guy just decides he's going to score no doubt in his mind.

Leghton also knew it went in...

 

[BruinsBtn]

I think of this one. It shows how great even a fringe NHLer can shoot. It's a laser right where the post and crossbar meet.

 

[Koivu11]

Here’s one from Laine earlier this season.

Why is he called dart guy though

Why is he called dart guy though

"Dart" is slang for a cigarette. Which he was holding in his mouth. It's an Aussie/Canadian thing
