Top 10 Goals of All Time

[Staniowski]

Peter copied this great move from Kent Nilsson, who pulled it off beautifully at the '89 World Championships. Kent, who was 32-years-old at the time, did it on a breakaway.

Who was defending Lemieux on that Nordiques goal?

EDIT: Tried looking it up, was it Fortier?

some memorable one-off goals by non-star players:

tuomo ruutu



the mad max goal



back around the lockout, i remember having high hopes for those two, and in the same breath ribeiro, connolly, and datsyuk. funny how things turn out.

you should not be able to do this at 6'9...

physically impressive goals for me dont get much better than Chara doing a spin-o-rama into a forehand to backhand deke and finishing with a low angle backhand flip over the shoulder.

I have never seen Datsyuk' lateral move performed by anybody else. But then again, I think his highlight goal-scoring is rivaled only by Lemiuex.

Yep, the Datsyuk toe drag goals are among the best ever because of how smooth he makes it look. The breakaway one is probably the "best" because he did it during game play rather than during a shootout:

In the NHL, no. Every breakaway drill ol’ quoipourquoi was in for the 4 years that followed, yeah.

That’s the sign of a really good goal: the ones you can’t get away from at practice. Forsberg/Nilsson, Legg, Datsyuk. Couldn’t get away from those moves.

Kharlamov scored a lot of beautiful goals like this...

This is 1974, with his great linemates Boris Mikhailov (#13) and Vladimir Petrov (#16) congratulating him after the goal.
