This blog topic is a little different. I wanted to talk about the past shootout goals that became some of the best goals in NHL history.
For anybody that does not know, a shootout occurs after overtime if no winner has been proven. When it takes places, each player goes head to head against the opposing team's goalie. This is interesting to see what skill the individual player has by himself.
A shootout is one of the best things, in my opinion, about hockey in general. I always enjoy watching a shootout take place at the end of the game. Unless it is one of the 3 hour long games that goes on and on, but I still enjoy it regardless.
Shootouts have changed over the years. Compared to years and years ago, goalies now are required to wear much more padding, this makes it much harder for a shooter to score a goal, resulting in a lot less points in a shoot out. This also adds to the skill it now takes to score those points.
Here are the top 10 shootout goals according to ESPN. You be the judge. Personally, the second best goal by Datysuk is my favorite.
For some extra fun, I think this goal scored by Alex Ovechkin is absolutely amazing! Ovechkin is from the Washington Capitals.
CHECK THIS OUT!! What a goal!!
Definitely my favorite goal of all time
