Goal of the Year. No Question. Disgusting.

We need to talk about the Quinton Byfield goal which is about to take the internet by storm. All that and more on today's NHL hockey video as we look at the Los Angeles Kings vs the Columbus Blue Jackets.

[@EckHockey]

i didn't even note that he also hits Werenski's stick out of the way. 🤢

[@brandonstriegel3461]

I was coming here to comment this😂😂 absolutely my goal of the season. Only a lil biased as a kings fan lol

It's the current contender for GOTY for sure

Eck can you cover 2/20 Boston vs Dallas it was an insane game

[@brooksybaby03]

Tbf you didn't finish your last sentence of the video.

[@Alex-js5lg]

Yeah, that's like four separate moves that would each be impressive if a player did them before scoring, and he strung them together like Christmas lights.

[@zillatattoo]

what? ok, sure, lol

[@Alex-js5lg]

@@zillatattoo What do you mean, "what?" Byfield: 1. Steals the puck after Columbus wins the draw in the LA zone to go end-to-end on a 1 v 3. 2. Puts the puck through through a defender's legs to take it to the slot. 3. Has his stick knocked loose and so kicks the puck up ice to himself. 4. Stick lifts one defender (though I think that was a shot attempt) while being tripped by the other (looks like the stick blade contacted Byfield's right skate). 5. *From one knee,* goes forehand -> backhand -> top shelf, leaving the goalie sprawling.

[@TheCityOfAngelsSports]

After that January slump the Kings had, goals like this one from Byfield and the one from Clarke against the Bruins have really shown the confidence that the young guys can bring to this team. I'm enjoying every moment of it, and I'm happy QB is a King. Also, yes. Goal of the year no question for me. All the little things that Byfield did in this play was incredible. The control, the stick lift, the kick of the puck ahead to his stick, and then elevating that puck while on one knee. Just pure filth.

[@fadedfather4958]

more than half the fans in the league call a rookie a bust after his first year if he’s not immediately dominant. It takes some time to adapt to the best league in the world take a look at jack hughes he was labeled as a bust after his first year its an absolute joke.

[@TophFu]

So much going on in such a short span.

[@grimetone]

Absolutely disgusting. The knock on Werenskis stick as well. So much awareness.

[@realcade]

It’d be impressive for anyone to score this goal but somebody at 6’5 to do this is even more insane

[@drebk]

Lol that stick lift was fully gratuitous... but when you're on, you're on!

[@maekoh]

Yeah this is a no brainer for me, easily goal of the year. Having to regain control of his stick, pull the puck towards him, perfectly lift the defenders stick and backhand it while on his knees. Individually those moves look crazy, but put together in the same sequence, all while at high speed, is UNREAL.

[@aisthefisherman]

This was some NEXT LEVEL shiiii!!! I’ve never gotten so hyped for a goal before

[@therockieshockeypodcast]

Crazy goal but the league wont let it win because its not McDavid

[@abovewater6918]

The league doesn't even vote for Goal of the Year so I'm not sure what you mean. If you mean by most fans and media thinking Mcdavid had the goal of the year 2 years ago when he went through 4 New York Rangers player before scoring, it was objectively the best goal of that year. Mcdavid hasn't really scored a goal of that caliber this year, and no one is even thinking Mcdavid is in the discussion (except one random commenter haha)

[@therockieshockeypodcast]

@@abovewater6918 Yeah I know what you mean, I was being sarcastic and taking a jab at the NHL and media for a lot of it's marketing and attention surrounding McDavid and hyping up everything he does...

I was at this game and the stadium went CRAZY with that opening goal. Byfield looked amazed with himself that he pulled it off. And that little 'f-u' shove from one of the Blue Jackets afterwards is just the icing on top. Clarke is looking very hungry after that last OT goal, and PL is FINALLY awake. Let's clinch a playoff spot boys.

That reminds me of when the A.I would rubberband in the NHL games - no matter what you did, or who had the puck, they were gonna score and unless you took a tripping penalty, there was no stopping it.

[@AllPayNoPal]

Crazy how with almost any player who enters the league younger than 20 is 9/10 times written off as a bust before that 21-23 age range. The NHL is a men's league, no wonder a kid fresh off his draft is going to "struggle", they've gone from playing against kids to the absolute best men in the world at the sport. However these prospects are typically insanely skilled at the game, it just takes time to adjust their game to the level the NHL and gain some confidence. Good on Byfield for keeping his head up cause the kid has stepped it up tremendously despite the pressure of being a "Bust 2nd overall pick"
