I think I remember him pulling this in a shootout before. Pretty nasty.

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

He literally does that exact move in more than half of his shootout goals

 

[MessierII]

That's a Sammy G classic. The kid does have hands. Too bad that's literally all he's got.

 

[Super Cake]

Not really that impressed honestly.

 

[ThaDevilGirl]

He's with Columbus now?

I'm gonna take your post literally and say you're wrong, he has a lot of things.

 

[Toe Pick]

Sick goal. Guy is off to a terrific start in CBJ camp. 4 points in 2 games. Hopefully it carries over.

 

[KirkOut]

is it the shootout goal of the year in the sense that there have not been any other goals? looks like a pretty standard move

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Not really that impressed honestly.

What? It's a sweet deke, absolutely undressed the goalie.

That's Gagner's classic move, sells the backhand with a backhand toe drag and a leg kick, then he goes back on the forehand to slide it in.

Not really. Bad hockey sense defensively and offensively, he's small and non physical, doesn't skate very well and isn't a brilliant passer but he can score and make plays because his hands are unbelievable. If he had a lot of other things going for him he'd easily be a consistent top 6 forward because his puck skills are elite.

I have seen much better.

Me too, but it's still one of the better attempts we've seen in a long time. The execution was perfect.

 

[Stephen]

Sam Gagner needs to find his way to Chicago.

Shootout goal of the season SO FAR maybe...

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

he always does that... he did/tried that move always in Edmonton

 

[LeafsNation149]

I wish Marner and Nylander can be like that one day.

Sick hands

 

[Philly85*]

pretty much the exact same move and goal he's scored in like 90% of the shootouts

 

[Seanaconda]

he always does that... he did/tried that move always in Edmonton

No he did the Kane move more I think

 

[punk_o_holic]

He's with Columbus now?

Yes he is. Signed a 1 year $650000 deal back in August. As a Jackets fan I like the deal. If he sucks, contract was cheap. If he's decent his contract is a steal. Columbus needed depth at center without having to force Jenner/Foligno there. Gagner felt Columbus would give him the best opportunity to have a bounce back season

Thus far yes...shootout goal of the season...not even top 15 by seasons end.

 

[5 4 Fighting]

I'd say he's definitely good for 48-55 points.

 

[Blitzago*]

I'd say he's definitely good for 48-55 points.

So a career best this year? Doubtful.

 

[barkovcanfinnish]

He's done this a few times before.

Still pretty nice.
