Sick Goal.
I was there live when Bure scored vs Boston in pre-season where he put the puck to his skates and passed it to himself, but this Podz goal is something else and next level. Podz 1 ups Bure because he passed the puck onto the defenders skate on purpose to richoet back to himself and get the goalie confused and out of position then fires it in.. Amazing goal!
That's a... charitable interpretation. Pretty clear he was trying to thread the needle to set up a teammate streaking to the net. This play really illustrates that we're dealing with a primarily pass-first player. A shooter would have used the defender and his teammate as a screen for a shot on net. Luckily it worked out and he regained possession. Although you could tell that the goalie wishes he had that one back.
