Hello again hockey fans. I interrupt our usual, expertly done, 100% factual reporting on events around the hockey world to bring some video awesomeness into your world. It’s only 18 days into 2010, yet I’ve seen three plays so far that should end up on most of the year-in-review highlights 12 months from now. Two of these goals are similar, as Marian Hossa of the Chicago Blackhawks and Robbie Schremp of the New York Islanders appear to have taken batting practice during the off-season. I’ll argue that Hossa’s was more difficult, as he pulled the trick off while skating. Here’s the two videos, so you can decide for yourself.
Hossa:
Schremp:
Now, the following play isn’t from NHL competition but, rather, the ECHL. The goal itself is not the most spectacular part of the sequence. Rather, it’s just the icing on the cake of a series of dangles that honestly makes the defensive team look like a bunch of 10-year olds flailing helplessly as Sidney Crosby toys with them. Here’s the video (recommendation – follow the whole vid through for some typically classic Onrait-O’Toole bantering following the Highlight of the Night portion):
Hope you enjoyed these beauties. If you come across anything else you feel worthy so far in 2010, post the link in the comments.
