Sonny Milano Goal Of The Year Candidate. Stars broadcast: "You're gonna see that goal forever"

[Hammettf2b]

If I had such a video of that particular event, I would. It's metaphorical. By dismissing this as "yawn, another between-the-legs goal", you're overlooking the bit that makes it actually impressive.

I am? Thank you for telling me how I feel. Please, let me know how I should feel about Blashill playing Glendening on the second line because God knows I don't have my own opinion on the matter.

In my considered opinion, what you should be feeling is deep shame for assuming I was dictating feelings in the first place.

That was a description of an action taken, based on what I can directly observe. You responded to a post dismissing this as Yet Another Between The Legs Goal with that Xgames backflip metaphor. That implies that the only thing you paid attention to was "it's a between-the-legs goal" rather than, y'know, everything else about it.

Or, now wait for it... Maybe...just maybe... I actually didn't think it was anything very special including the "everything else about it" part.

OK. So if an Xgames performer did manage a motorcycle backflip without any upward momentum off a ramp or anything like that, it wouldn't be anything very special to you? Because it's just another motorcycle backflip at the Xgames?

Who is #26 who got embarrassed?

 

[jetsforever]

Funny how every day there's a new GOTY candidate
It is a great goal though

 

[Elias GOATtersson]

Might be the best between the legs goal I've ever seen. Wow!

idk, I would have to see it first. Thinking it and actually witnessing it are totally different things for me. That's besides the point though. My point is, I don't see anything completely special about this goal. There is nothing you or anyone else can say to change my mind. Either deal with it and move on or go try to convince someone else.

99% of the time these "Goal of the Year" threads are a disappointment. This one is not. Wowzers what a goal!

 

[Choralone]

Lots of jaded squirrels in this thread who need a player to be on fire and busking when they score in order to be impressed.

 

[fsanford]

Applause for actually nominating an actual play worth GOTY.

It isn't anything special. There's several players over past few years that have already done it.

So thousands of goals scored, the last 20 years and what done maybe 20 or 30 times. Nothing special?

Tough crowd

20-30 times vs 0 times for the true GOTY from Coleman which was never done before

Meh... I only like goals where the puck is finally shoveled in on the third or fourth rebound, or a point shot is deflected by the skates/legs/butts of multiple players before beating a partially screened goalie... Now that's hockey!!!

Seriously though... Between the leg shots aren't that common, how can anyone honestly be "bored" of them.

Its like seeing a back flip on a motorcycle at the Xgames. Meh

Normally, when you see a back flip on a motorcycle at the Xgames, that motorcycle has just gone up a ramp.

Imagine it happening when that motorcycle is on a straightaway. Just all of a sudden, the rider flings their motorcycle up into the air and flips, without any other upward momentum.

Still "meh"?

Somewhere in California Carey Hart’s ears just perked up and he has no idea why.

On topic given the circumstances this is a ridiculous goal. Good to see Milano might finally be putting things together.

Usually only ever see it when the player has space and is just in a one on one with the goalie.

He only played 8 minutes.

 

[Socks]

He only played 8 minutes.

... dude you honestly took umbrage with me saying I’m glad a player looks improved? Really? Shit like this is why I don’t post here much anymore.

Fine. In the 8 minutes he played I’m glad he was productive and I hope he keeps it up.

Apologies I didn't mean it to sound like a smart ass response. The point I didn't make very well was that he was only given 8 minutes on the night, not exactly
a heavy work load. No offence meant to you or to him.

there's one thing consistent in all three of these plays

the goalie is the only defense within 50 feet

Milano makes a sweet between the D man's legs at the blue line to get into the zone...
then has 2 players stick checking him while he scores.................night and day comparison
