Crosby GOTY?

[jetsforever]

This is why he's the best.

 

[TMLeafer]

What a terrific goal.

 

[North Cole]

Matt Bennings was nicer imo

 

[RASHBEEP]

it is easily the goty

 

[wingnutks]

Only player in the world who can score like that

LOL, someone literally just posted Tavares doing the exact same thing like 3 posts up

Something like this is exactly why Sid has grown on me over the years and I now respect him and admire his hard work. He probably could not have done this years ago. And he realized it. So he likely identified this as a skill he wanted to be better at and worked his ass off at it until he can do stuff like this. Beauty.

Funny year for Sid. Looks lifeless for extended streaks, then does this.

If GOTY means 2017-2018 season why no one say Orlov?

Ovechkin scored this in 2014 and it is GOTY


Orlov does this in December


And this thread is quiet about it

Sids got Orlov pretty easy here

Why? Orlov pretty much did what Ovi did in 2014 and this goal by Sid isn't close to that.

L-O-f***ing-L at people saying "meh" in this thread.

On topic, I still like Kucherov's goal a littttttle bit better b/c I think it took a little more moxy to pull it off, but Sid's goal was insane

Ovie did what Orlov did on the backhand. Completely different goals.

I disagree. Kuch's is a great goal, but this goal by Crosby is significantly more difficult to pull off given this goal is basically instinct, raw skill, nerve, and surgical hand eye. Kuch had time to plan his and had practiced it many times. This goal is on a different level.

I agree with you, sorry if I misworded it. I was just talking about Kucherovs goal itself- Crosby's was infinitely more impressive.

 

[WTFMAN99]

I don't want to go into the whole GOY over someone else who has scored a great goal this year....HOWEVER...amazing goal by Crosby.

 

[Bizz]

Kevin Labanc scored a goal like that earlier this year.

 

[HanSolo]

Definitely up there.

The best one so far IMO is the Kucherov "no-move" goal on Holtby

Henrique's and Crosby's were both better. This was very clever but not the highest skill move performed this year.

 

[illpucks]

How bout MacKinnon?

 

[The Crypto Guy]

It was on Price tho...meh.

 

[PattyLafontaine]

Great goal but it’s being massively overrated.

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

How bout MacKinnon?

Nice goal and he should probably win the Hart, but no.

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

Tavares scored a similar goal about 13 seconds into this video.

^^ Impressive goal to be sure.

The thing that people are missing with these juggling-comparison videos, is that Crosby's first juggle essentially acts as a deke (only in mid-air) on a goalie facing the puck. That's why it's a cut above. It's a double-tap AND a change of direction on a goaltender who is able to make a save. It's not just that he hit an already bouncing puck twice in mid-air. He changes the angle to go around Price, but it's all done without the puck ever hitting the ice.

The ridiculousness is in the details.

 

[A4T1L6]

Kucherov’s one was very creative, but a lot of players could do it. Crosby’s one was just pure talent and skills.

You can literally say the same thing about both lmao

 

[illpucks]

No mention of this goal which is similar

 

[illpucks]

Matt Bennings was nicer imo

Yup. That is harder to do. The puck is in the air longer.
