[illpucks]

From game #2. Never seen anything like it. Still the GOTY?

First one from here

Washington's goal horn is so extra. They throw a cowbell in there? I like it though.

I'd say there's been better goals though.

 

[Blackjack]

McDavid's backhand volley off his own rebound was pretty good.

Don't know if I'd call that GOTY but it is very good. Also it seems a bit strange to have another thread about this goal several months later.

 

[Maurice Del Taco]

I like it

 

[izzy]

it was cool but not that cool

 

[Oddbob]

This is in the running for GOTY? If so, it has been a dry year indeed!

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

Burns actually scored a very similar goal against Carolina and I didn't think it was anywhere near goal of the year.



(Goal at 1:45)

Henrique over Vatanen vs Devils

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

I don't think it was even the best goal scored against Montreal. Pretty cool though

It depends what you value. I value skill over flash.

I'd put this in the running if it counted.

nope

Which goal was “golf” and why?

#1 the swing

Nah. It's fun and nice, but more of a flashy slap than GOTY.

High Skill. No look shot. From distance. Perfect placement. Goalie has clear look. Goalie is best goalie in NHL.

It's a great goal against once one of the best goalies, who wasn't prepared for that. And was perfectly executed.

Still I'd like to see longer chain of masterful events for GOTY than a single swing.

Just a matter of personal taste.

Turnaround slapper is in running for the GOTY? It's all downhill from here.

 

[HanSolo]

Would easily take Henrique's goal over Vatanen or McDavid's knocked out of midair goals over this one.

It's a nice goal and all but really it was a fortuitous slapper. Not much more. Not even among Ovi's best.

LOL. Rust takes out Kinkaid with a stick and then Crosby finishes him with a puck to the head. Skill indeed

 

[LeafGrief]

That probably wasn't even the nicest goal scored on October 7th.

 

[Kcb12345]

Far from goal of the year. Not even top 10. Still pretty sick though

 

[Khomutov]

That goal from Ovechkin was better:

 

[HansonBro]

The real GOTY probably got called back

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Not even close lol.
