Zegras does it again

[TaLoN]

The most impressive part of this wasn't the lacrosse goal itself, it was the pure skill displayed on a combination of two scoring chances... the between the legs shot into the lacrosse goal. Skill plays come so naturally and instinctively due to his extremely high confidence in his skills.

Yep, that’s exactly it and it’s why these posts about how he could have just as easily scored with a simple play miss the point - it’s just a regular move in his arsenal that he doesn’t worry about not being able to execute. Minor things like the puck being slightly on edge are enough to make this the easiest solution to him.

We're entering the generation of players where going behind the legs for a shot or doing a lacrosse move is as instinctual as performing a basic pass or deke.

I'm glad Z is ruining the sport. Lmao

What a move from the Calder winner

Seider should win it, dude is a beast, but Zegras is clearly the runner up. I am fine with that. Need this kid to be the Ducks 1C and has to learn to play a full 200 foot game.

Cue incoming failed Michigan attempt by Matthews.

He leads the league in goals and also in failed Michigan attempts. I think there's a correlation between the timing of a successful lacrosse-style goal followed by one of his attempts. Let's see if he goes for one on Saturday night...

Jesus H. Wow

That’s awesome.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Very nice

 

[Sun God Nika]

This guy clearly has elite hands, can see some 100pt seasons from him for sure

 

[JediOrderPizza]

So clean, so nice to have such a good class of rookies this year.

 

[Quack Shot]

I take credit for the goal, Zegras must have known I was wearing my “DUDE” shirt today so he knew I was expecting a lacrosse goal.

 

[Quack Shot]

The dude is amazing on and off the ice, just says what he’s feeling without the script that most other players use. Such a nice change of pace.

 

[KickHisAssZegrass]

Goalies and Boomers hate him, find out how Z ruins hockey with this one simple trick

 

[abo9]

Ah, so goalies became too good at dmcovering the wrap-around type of goals and players are adapting? We'll need eyes behind our masks soon lol!

What a beauty of a sequence. Just so natural for Zegras. The league can only benefit from this!

 

[EichHart]

Insane

 

[Gunnersaurus Rex]

Still hate those goals and think they should be disallowed. Player shouldn't be able to carry the puck on his stick, in his hand or anywhere.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Yea but thats a lot different what last time

this time he had like 80% of the net open

He could have scored more easily with a normal wrap around lol

Yeah because most of the net was empty

 

[Dotter]

Anaheim should change their name back to the Mighty Ducks.

Lol oh wow. Please elaborate on what your tule would be, how it would be enforced, etc

What do you mean? Defending players can knock him on his ass anytime when he does that. Not his fault there wasn't a defender around him or not willing to take the body.

It's the way he picked up the puck in one touch behind the net without interrupting his skating that blows my mind. It's what makes this a goal. He got around to the net before most guys figured out he had the puck.

Barry Trotz, is that you?

 

[Heldig]

Fun talent to watch for sure.

If the Ducks ever make the playoffs it will be interesting to see how he handles playoff style intensity / defense.
