SabreSpace 2019 Goal of the Year

[Stoner]

No choices or YouTube videos this year. Interest in this contest has never been high enough to justify the amount of work it takes. Also, I am old, weak and discouraged.

But it would be nice to continue having a Goal of the Year. Let's crowd source this and come up with a consensus. I've got nothing really. I honestly don't recall a lot of incredible goals this year. Maybe one of Olofsson's early snipes? Eichel against Nashville at home this season?

To review:

2016 — Eichel's last second OT goal

2017 — Eichel's overtime goal in Nashville

2018 — Risto's inside out move and parasol twirler vs. SJ

2019 — ???

Are we talking the calendar year 2019? Or just this season?

Having said that, Eichels end to end Against the habs was a thing of beauty.

But Skinner's first against Florida back in January was nice.

I take Skinner’s of the two nominated so far

[apuszczalowski]

So few to chose from.......

The only goal is the playoffs, and they continue to fall short.

Yup.  Without big moments the little moments don't matter.

maybe its sour grapes after a loss, but that goal doesn’t move me anymore.

It moved me and still does.  Why the rest of the team screwed up is another question.

This gets my vote as best goal of the year, at least so far.

I can't think of any off hand that would be better.  

It had that Bobby Orr look to it, like it's ridiculously easy to score and every player should be doing things like this all the time.

Not many guys--even at this level--can score a goal in that manner.

Yeah, this is the one.

It is decreed. That was easy. Thanks, Jack. Mods can unpin. Thanks, mods.

I'd go with the sour grapes.  When a team gets you down you gotta find the joy where you can and cling to it.  Keep yourself sane. ?

Well, that de-escalated quickly.

It was still an awesome goal.  (Even the Loafs fan behind us was impressed by it.)
