off a stick, off a head and nothing but net

Clap bomb howitzer top cheese

more like cartoon fluky I gotta say the way it kinda accelerated cuz the spin off of Fleury's helmet is pretty epic

2 sticks I think. Pretty sure it hit Kunitz stick then oleksy's

Pitt should've tried challenging IMO

Edit. Nevermind they did

They did.

It didn't work.

Don't watch the videos, it was a t drag through 3 guys, forehand backhand off the bar and in.

No way

It was a kessel-esque wrist shot snipe from behind his own goal line

Mitch Marner's mom missed it. She was in the bathroom.

 

[izzy]

That was a weird one

 

[Deen]

That goal rooked me out of 250 bones.

Meanwhile im sitting here wondering how the hell the spotlight comes on so quickly...

Half clapper top cheddar. Best euro rookie in the league to not score on his own net and celly.

 

[Canada4Gold]

About time he got one. I've been waiting for a while. Not a criticism(it might sound like it), just I've been anticipating his first NHL goal now for a while.

Babcock puts him on 1st PP over Rielly and this is his 1st goal? Ok

 

[DonskoiDonscored]

Not a single player or person in that building seemed to be excited...

What a weird goal. Congrats though, I'm sure he'll take it.

 

[Cursed Lemon]

You could say he...sniped it.

I don't see a problem with it. Its part of Rielly's development...

They want Rielly to become a well-rounded No1 dman and part of that is playing more in other situations (eg. SHTOI, defensive zone time).

Without overworking him, you have to cut ice-time from somewhere.

 

[KingTux]

Congrats

So who sucks, Babcock, Reilly, or Zaitsev?
lol jk

 

[Jyrki]

He's got a deceptive shot! Wow! Fleury never saw it coming.

 

[Filatov2Kovalev2Bonk]

Bill Muckalt level release, congrats to the young man on moving forward with the Leafs.

It's all a lie my friend. Still waiting for the matrix to wake me up.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

The only thing I thought that was interesting about this goal was Simpson calling him a young rookie. He's 25 and has been playing in now his 8th pro season.
