Well Carlson sold the pass really well. Didn't look at the goaltender at all while taking the shot and kept him from committing to him.

The way he reacted it looked as if he wasn't expecting the shot at all. That's partly due to Carlson looking pass the whole way, but he was still cheating on the play.

An an american, I would say its a chippy goal.... 3 on 1?? he did the right thing by shooting but it wasn't a great goal. Another reason why 4-4 OT is the way to go. Unpredictable!!

to me it was a great goal. Not goal of the year. But to have enough skill to not ONCE look tp the net is very impressive. If I am a goalie I am playing shooter, and if he looks to the pass with a shoulder or head move I am still playing shooter. BUT, if the man with thepuck not ONCE looks at me the entire time inside the blueline, and he is a defensemen I am going to start cheating for the pass. Its exactly what makes this a great goal.
Yeah people look pass and shoot all the time. But on a fast speed rush from the blueline in, to not Once look at the goal? Ive actually never seen that. And Ive watched thousands of nhl games.

Coming from a huge Carlson/Caps homer, this was a 'great' goal, but not 'goal of the year' or anything remotely close to it.

Great Dane! Love that Eller feller.
2 goal game for Carlson along with the GWG in OT.
Back to back GWGs.
Caps fans are sure excited. Trading Eminger and a 3rd round pick to Philly in order to draft him 27th overall. Absolute steal
He is having a great first season in the AHL as well.
Can't wait until he's up with the Caps full time.

Huge goal in terms of importance but thats a shot the goalie has to have. You cannot let a player score short side coming down the wing with an inside shot, that should be an automatic save, and it wasn't even roofed. Good shot and play by Carlson but the misplay by the goalie stood out more to me.

2 is better than one
ESPN actually gave the game a fair amount of pub. Barry Melrose was given some face time to wax poetic about the WJC's.
It was a pretty nice goal since he made it look like he was going to pass, but it probably won't be a top 100 goal by the end of the year. Let's not confuse clutch and best.

What I find funny is that this goal was scored directly after Campbell made a big save on a Canadian odd-man rush. Rebound comes to Ramage who head mans it to the late back-checking forward... no wait... that's... Carlson? WTF was Carlson doing while the Canadians were making their offensive play? I understand that 4 on 4 is more free flowing, but man was he behind the play/out of position.
This is nitpicky, I know, and I am pumped that he scored that goal, but if Campbell doesn't make the save on the preceding odd man rush we'd all be talking about the fact that Carlson was nowehere to be found in the defensive zone.

I believe it was a crap goal. Probably one of the worst i've ever seen.
Oh, and Allen woulda stopped it.

Yes I noticed what a great play that was by Carlson. Did you watch the game on the Canadian TSN feed? Because those 2 announcers are very biased towards Canada. If Ellis...or Pieterangelo...scored the winner(like Carlson did)...they would have been gushing about what a phenomenally great play that was...and replayed that 10 times to explain it to you...and tell you what an extremely special player "he" is. Anyways. The Americans....as a whole....are not only fast.....by very talented. How many 2 on 1's did the Americans have in this tournament....where they came flying in...and looked to the passer ...only to rip it with deadly accuracy shortside. Remember.....these guys are breaking in...and scoring these skill shot goals......at top speed. Not easy to do. I'm Canadian.....but I really like watching these Americans play...and I.....for one....am definitely aware of their talent.
Froze the goalie perfectly by looking pass all the way.
But goal of the year? Nah, I don't ... wait, we're only 6 days into 2010? Sure, goal of the year!

Carlson was deep covering his man, he stepped up to Pietrangelo, Stephan was the late man coming off the bench for a gassed Schroeder.
