ICYMI: Thomas Vanek Scored the Best Goal of the NHL Season
By Rob Perez
Let’s be honest: the NHL doesn’t get a whole lot of love from “mainstream” sports fans until the playoffs start. Myself included. However, if there are going to be goals scored like this one by Thomas Vanek of the Minnesota Wild last night — you can sure as hell bet i’ll be tuning in more often.
Now, in real-time: the goal doesn’t look that impressive — but, if you slow it down and zoom in…
Holy moly… Top shelf, top class. Gonna take one hell of a goal to beat this magical display of skill and athleticism.
