Top 16 Goals of the 2009-10 Year

You’ll know you’re seeing the corrected version of Part 2 if Kane “cuts the music” (you’ll know what I mean). Also, the quality of the 2nd video will be bad for about the first 30 minutes that it is posted until YouTube does the final processing of the conversion.

And of course – REC’D! Ha!

Sharp’s goal to make it 3-3 in Game 1 of the SCF.

I mean, duh.

But I voted Bolland because I figure no one else would :p

why Kopecky is a forward.

this totally made demers look bad haha

So many people have said to me “Wow, that must have been a great game to be at!” They get disappointed when I tell them it was one of the most boring games I’ve been to in the past few years, until Buff’s goal in OT.

to Belmont transfer, if it’d mess up the poll. I forgot about McClure’s awesome nickname for that one.

I was at that game too. Couldn’t believe that shot. That kid is sick.

Can’t wait to see the video. Damn my IT department!

He checks the ref to see if it actually went in.

Most goals the player had to get around a few D or juke the goalie….Kanes was pure skill, nothing a goalie can do there, pure snipage….great vid guys! really helpin make this offseason bearable!!

rec’d sight unseen. Will enjoy and vote tonight.

So many goals and so few votes. Kaner’s goal against MN is my number 1. That was just a work of art. My second most favorite was Brouwer’s goal.

Hack and CNS – This was awesome! Truly excellent work! Thanks!!!

1. of goals in the top 16

Kane 4, Sharp 3

Barker, Hossa, Toews, Versteeg, Bolland, Brouwer, Byfuglien, Eager, and Hendry at 1 a piece

You’re right though, I think #10 Kane and #11 Kane are both underrated goals. I think I might move them before #8 Kane, but I’m not sure yet.

Also, I might post some youtube game links (with time of goal(s)) for some honorable mentions. There were about 15-20 goals, in addition to the 16, that I shortlisted.

seems like them and vancouver, two really great teams, we just seem to play a style that goes against theirs. At least in the sharks case…vancouver i have no idea why they shit the bed whenever we play em.

is that the D-man he undresses in front of the net is none other than Dan Hamhuis, the guy the ‘Nucks fans are high on as one of the reasons they’re going to totally pwn us this year. Apparently.

but Hossa still gets my vote.

Hossa’s goal was unreal, but he didn’t really “create” it. I’m not disputing the level of skill and hand/eye coordination, but the puck came right to him.

Toews, Kane, and Versteeg all created their own shots on their goals. I think that has to factor into the equation, especially on Kaner’s Belmont Transfer, where he stripped the puck from a D-man, held it behind the net, then pulled off that ridiculous carousel move.

but I think Hossa’s goal involved the most luck of the three. It was great hand eye coordination to whack it out of mid air and get it on net, but the fact that it went in was pretty lucky. I doubt Hoss was aiming at a particular spot. I can’t find a link, but I think that even Hoss said it was lucky in his postgame interview (granted, Hoss is pretty ‘aww shucks’ humble). There was a degree of luck in Kane’s goal as well, but not quite as much.

I was talking about this with a friend last night, he said Hossa’s was better than Kane’s, and I disagreed (obviously).

Like the other comments have said, Hossa’s had a true element of luck. But in addition to that I think that there was an element of shock — I don’t think the Lightning goalie could quite believe what he was seeing, and I certainly don’t think he was expecting Hossa to strike the puck dead on into the goal, which takes incredible hand-eye coordination, which Hossa has, but there’s something about that just seems absurd, it almost seems as if the goalie is admiring it before realizing that the puck is heading for his crease. Not only that, the goalie had a wide-open field to be able to catch the puck.

On the flip side, Kaner’s goal came through a clusterfuck of traffic and even within that traffic, Backstrom knew exactly where Kane was with the puck. Hossa pretty much had the entire goal to shoot at, whereas Kaner had a tiny little circle right above Backstrom’s right shoulder that was about the size of a pea, and he Belmont Transfer’d it in and out of the goal, so fast that it looked like it could have pinged off the crossbar, and Preacher (in reply to my other post above) did point out that Kane actually did look to the referee to make sure that it went in.

Like I said earlier, just an absolutely filthy goal by Kane and one that I still wasn’t sure that had gone in… actually I think I might have been more sure that Kane scored the Cup winning goal originally than scoring that one back in October. No discredit to Hossbollah of course, but I think Kane’s for the reasons listed above is the reason why it should be (and according to hackerar) is #1

sort of like toews…they get some pretty ones, but most of them are grinding it out, and sniping…look at all of toews and hossa’s shootout goals…all of em are just skating up, picking a spot and burying it.
  I want to see you guys to the top 16 assists of the year now…probably see more hossa and toews there.

of Eager and Toews jumping off the ice together in-sync right after that goal? It was like little school girls playing jump rope.

Want to know who can afford season tickets there.

checking everyone’s profile

I don’t remeber this Versteeg game 6 business.

not sure of the track, but that theme shows up multiple times in the soundtrack

he did that twice, once against vancouver (in the same game as hendry’s goal) and beat luongo high glove side, and he also did it in game 5 of the SC finals and beat leighton on the stick side. Which one of the two were you thinking of?

Also, which goal do you propose that it should replace?

I enjoy seeing you put in writing that my videos are higher quality than yours. That’s what you meant, right?

Here, I’ll even save you time and write it for you: ASSHOLE!

Thing about the mid-air attack is that Hossa later admitted that the puck hit the ice. Still a nice goal but he didn’t bat it out of the air.

they’ve been doing nothing but pimp out the poll to Hawks fans.

Hossa’s “skiillez” still cracks me up!

“Damen Madison” sounds like a porn name. Which isn’t such a bad thing around here.

You’re right, that was great work by Bolland.
Lou didn’t give up a rebound!
