Subban scores from Centre Ice

[Frank Drebin]

Its actually a very good play to try once and a while, when a guy can shoot it 90+MPH that puck comes at you remarkably quick if you're not quite ready for it.

Come on Nilsson, just play it safe and get the body in front of it.

Worst part was it was going wide until it hit his glove.

Or if the goalie is just expecting a dump in.

Norris lock.

I’m having flashbacks.

He got a penalty right after scoring the goal because he shoved a Columbus player during his celly, lol

Wish players did that more, but not everyone has a shot like Subban. He actually does this play a lot more frequently than it looks.

Dan Cloutier is our goaltending coach, which makes this even more hilarious.

 

[SenzZen]

You can’t just let him walk in like that.

Canucks had a good start to the season but seems like they're reverting to what was predicted of them, scoring from centre ice is never good.

Did VAN trade for Scott Darling?

I'm actually surprised this isn't tried more often. Goaltenders are getting better it seems at handling the puck. Those speedy, bouncing pucks do some strange things.

I'd like to see more faking like it's going to be a rimmer but instead shoot on goal to keep the goalies honest. I remember Cory Stillman scoring a goal on that and I am sure there were others.

I feel like Subban scores at least one center ice goal per season. Shoot at the net and things might happen. Bad play by Nilsson though, put the body in front of it... or if it's going wide maybe don't try to glove it?

Jordin Tootoo did this probably 7 or 8 years ago. Haven't seen any Pred do it since until now.

I stand corrected. Who is that guy, Dubnyk? Never heard of him.

Hope the Canucks get the 1st overall. With Horvat they are an OK team that can work hard and gut out some wins. Without Horvat they are kind of the worst team in the NHL.

This is, what, the third time Subban has scored from center? I seem to remember him doing it with the Canadiens in '13 or '14.
Also, his other goal was pretty strange too.
