How does that Laine goal compare to some other amazing CBJ goals?

[koteka]

That Laine goal last night was one of the most amazing goals in the team’s history. But how does it rank vs some other goals?

Laine against the Devils


Milano between the legs vs Dallas


Duclair falls but gets up and scores vs Philadelphia


Wennberg beats Shattenkirk in the playoffs vs Tampa Bay

Recency bias has Laine right at the top. But I still love Zherdev’s end to end goal against the Blackhawks the final 30 seconds to win the game.

 

[JacketFanInFL]

Nash goal, then Zherdev are the top two in a class of their own. Both goals were hero-ball end to end goals with the game on the line.
I even think the Nash between the legs goal is better than some of these in the poll.

 

[Dumais]

Really was an incredible toe-drag. Even more impressive considering he's 6'5" iirc and somehow slipped between the two defenders. But IMO Nash's goal had everything. luck, skill, creativity, athleticism, overcoming odds. just timeless; going to be hard to beat that one.

 

[Viqsi]

For me, Nash's goal still wins strictly because of context.

 

[DJA]

Nash goal will never be topped

 

[Monstershockey]

I don't even think that was Laine's best goal here. I thought his end to end goal against Chicago last year was more impressive.

 

[pled]

I kinda was expecting to be disappointed.
Yall actually like Nash goal too, that's great.

Laine goal was great but not that great.

Duclair would be my 2nd

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Nash for sure but Sonny’s is real good. He had two in like a 3-game stretch…

This one needs to be in here just because…

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Here’s Sonny’s other one, which is worth watching for Torts’ reaction if nothing else.

 

[5th Line Fanatic]

The Nash goal is my favorite hockey goal of all time. The Zherdev goal is my favorite goal that I've seen live. I was sitting in that corner that night and I'll never forget seeing him coming right at me at full speed before making that move. I still get excited just thinking about it.

 

[VT]

I think Miláno versus Stars was the best.

 

[stevo61]

Nash for me.

Panarin's OT goal vs Washington is up there too. The way he kept the puck from the D until the last possible second and picking his spot with that kind of power off of a slight flick of the wrist was unreal

Zherdev
Nash
Milano
Duclair

Although, most incredible should have Dubinsky vs Pitt in the conversation, right?

 

[NotCommitted]

The Laine goal was made particularly nice by deceptively liquid move to avoid the (overcommitting) D-man trying to hit him, that made me go wow and chuckle a bit, it seemed a pretty nice move for a guy his size, but in the end it was just a nice goal, gamewinner as it might have been. That Nash goal is just ridiculous, it's one of those goals where time seems to slow down as he somehow threads through the d-men, dekes the goalie and then finally scores the goal. Even at that point he takes the time to turn and shoot it, clearly in a different tier to any of the others.

 

[Viqsi]

Nash for sure but Sonny’s is real good. He had two in like a 3-game stretch…

This one needs to be in here just because…

I was really really hoping you'd found decent footage of his "tennis backhand", but that one's good, too, I guess...


EDIT: This is the best (read: only) video I can find of that one:


Always had a place in my heart because that's NICKLAS LIDSTROM defending him and DOMINIK HASEK in net.

 

[Viqsi]

Here’s Sonny’s other one, which is worth watching for Torts’ reaction if nothing else.

That one has a nice redemption arc and is a pretty goal. Nash's has a similar redemption arc and is league-wide legendary.

 

[ClevelandJacketFan]

I was a casual fan until I saw the Nash goal leading sportscenter.

I got hooked after it. Goal literally has it all, two amazing deeks, amazing puck control and a beautiful finish.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Nash’s is the undisputed #1. The rest can be debated but Laine’s is pretty low on the list of goals we’ve seen in this thread. Although that doesn’t mean it wasn’t sick

 

[OldGoaltender]

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Although, most incredible should have Dubinsky vs Pitt in the conversation, right?

I thought about this and decided that’s a different category than what we’re talking about.

Danny Gare going nuts on that call with Rimer is one of my favorite parts of the video

 

[cslebn]

Savard walking Hedman is a favorite of mine
