So sick how he just bats the puck down like it's nothing.

Arguably the greatest goal in the history of hockey.

I'll always be impressed by NHL players' ability to knock down high velocity passes or shots. This isn't one of the goals of the year but it's a very nice play nonetheless.

Arguably the greatest goal in the history of hockey.

I don't even think it's arguable when you consider the situation. Goals do not get any bigger than in a non-conference, mid-season game.

On a Monday night no less.
I don't usually throw around the term monumental but I'm having a hard time not doing it here.

I love Geno as much as the next guy but .. this deserves a thread?

The best part of this thread is the guy saying Geno is in the matrix.

Fail.

 

[jimstark]

Yes this deserves a thread and glad you are involved and posting. It,s like Geno says " Oh there,s the puck might aswell knock it down and put it into the goal " That was sick he is the best with Kucherov now.

Shades of Barkov in this kid

Okay.....that was pretty.

Malkin is locked and loaded right now. He's been terrorizing the league from the turn of the year.

Since January 1st:
27 GP - 23 Goals - 23 Assists - 46 points.

18 Even Strength Goals
5 Powerplay goals

Shooting at an astronomical 27.7%.

Malkin wishes. Barkov would put up 200 points if he put any of his power level into offense.

Malkin is disgusting right now, he's been surging so far and the biggest reason Pens came back to life after a pretty dissapointing first half.
I wouldnt even be mad if he "stole" Kucherovs Art Ross.

At this point Malkin is getting both the Art Ross and Hart.

 

[Big McLargehuge]

That was a nice display of what Geno is capable of. When I saw that the first time I thought that was one of my goalie nightmares taking place (bad bounce on a clearing attempt leading to goal), but that was all Geno.

Arguably the greatest goal in the history of hockey.

But... is it AINEC?

 

[Spirit of 67]

But... is it AINEC?

I think you could argue that. I had it more of a generational type goal. But AINEC is certainly worth discussing.

Malkin really is an amazing player, he's having quite the run as of late. Will be interesting to see if he can keep it up.

Bob Errey is such a moron

I love seeing goalies pay for waiting til the last second to move the puck, knowing they cannot be hit.

I don't think any part of the play was that great, it's just how casually he knocks the puck down and handles that bouncing puck to the net at full speed

 

[EdJovanovski]

Well that was anticlimactic

Yeah, we should have waited until he had a groundbreaking four point game before making the thread.

Why wait. Make one for a 3 point game.

Not bad for the 101st greatest player in NHL history.
