nfreeman Posted November 28, 2018 Report Posted November 28, 2018 It's up to PA, of course, but maybe there should be a separate category for SO goals? In any case, there are tons of contenders this year. Risto's masterpiece last night has a strong claim for the #1 seed. Quote
Drunkard Posted November 28, 2018 Report Posted November 28, 2018 Ristolainen's goal last night is certainly the front runner for me. Skinner may be team mvp, but Risto's goal was just gnarly. Quote
Randall Flagg Posted November 28, 2018 Report Posted November 28, 2018 Nobody will beat Risto between now and New Year's. Jack's cup winner will take the cake as goal of the season, but that will of course happen in 2019. Quote

GASabresIUFAN Posted November 28, 2018 Report Posted November 28, 2018 On “On the Fly” last night they showed the guys from Hockey Tonight’s reaction to Risto’s goal as it happened. Hilarious. The guys were out of their seats in shock as Risto undressed Burns. Would make a great MasterCard add. 1 Quote

Sabres Fan in NS Posted November 28, 2018 Report Posted November 28, 2018 (edited) I'm not going to vote yet. I am hoping for a spectacular goal sometime in mid-June. Edited November 28, 2018 by New Scotland (NS) 2019 Quote
GASabresIUFAN Posted November 28, 2018 Report Posted November 28, 2018 I thought Casey's Shoot Out Goal was nominated? If not, I hereby nominate it. https://www.nhl.com/sabres/video/mittelstadts-shootout-goal/t-277437090/c-62790003 Quote
Randall Flagg Posted November 28, 2018 Report Posted November 28, 2018 Shootout goals aren't interesting enough to deserve votes IMO. Casey and Tage and Sam had pretty ones, but it's one of like six events that happens to build up to a single game winning goal (3 shots/saves for each team). Since we have lots of epic game tying and game winning goals this year, I don't see how any shootout goal can stand up to them. Quote

It's almost like a grad student or someone should start a "Shootout Goal of the Year" thread or something like that. Quote

Ottosmagic13 Posted November 28, 2018 Report Posted November 28, 2018 If dahlin had buried that chance after dancing through the other team instead of hitting the crossbar the other night. Alas, Tage's rocket and Risto leaving Burns' jock at the top of circle are the front runners for me. Mitts SO goal where he is smiling the whole damn time is the special category winner. Risto's cellies are a thing of beauty. Quote
Randall Flagg Posted November 28, 2018 Report Posted November 28, 2018 (edited) My ranking: Risto's goal last night. Eichel OT winner in Pittsburgh. Eichel to Jason to Jeff in Anaheim to get our winning record back. Mitts tying the Pittsburgh game. Skinner off the faceoff to tie the game in MTL. Sam tying the Vancouver game. This is when good feelings started turning into "this might be something special." Skinner tying the most recent Montreal game. Kyle winning the other Montreal game. McCabe from Dahlin in Minny - streak moves to 6, Dahlin breakout game, special play. Risto winning the game in MTL. Epic, but no style points, Price just ate ****. Eichel OT winner in Calgary last January. Love and miss those one-timers. Tage blast. It would move up if closer to the dying moments in the 3rd, or if from behind. Skinner winning the Montreal game. Ugly goal, still deserves a spot. Mitts' first NHL goal. That game was fun and a glimpse at what we're seeing this year. I remember us posting in that GDT and starting to see sun and feel hopeful, even though we lost. Edited November 28, 2018 by Randall Flagg Quote

Stoner Posted December 15, 2018 Author Report Posted December 15, 2018 As per above, only current season goals will be considered. I can't imagine any goal from the second half of last season surpassing the best of this season, given the new element this season of importance. Original format is scrapped and we'll maybe go with eight nominations. Quote
nfreeman Posted December 15, 2018 Report Posted December 15, 2018 I've been meaning to say this for a couple of days: Zemgus' goal vs AZ is a dark-horse contender IMHO: https://www.nhl.com/sabres/video/girgensons-roofs-wrist-shot/t-277437090/c-63854103 Quote

GASabresIUFAN Posted December 16, 2018 Report Posted December 16, 2018 Today 1st goal by the Sabres should be nominated. Jack finding Skinner from behind the net while skating the opposite direction was just an incredible play. 1 Quote
