Top 15 Shootout Goals in NHL history | NBC Sports

[@cameronpowell6778]

Everything about Malik’s goal is amazing. The set up, the announcers, the move/goal, the humble celly. Perfect.

[@andrewbennett7610]

The coolest thing is the way he just skates off like it was nothing, like "Yeah I made that move and scored, what news??"

[@xboxrules8472]

Hardly # 1 though

[@bardownsky9792]

@xbox rules yeah I agree

[@ryanskindastrong]

My dad works for the team and talked to Malik after the game. He jokingly said “oh yeah I practice the move all the time in practice”

[@6rathe]

man that celly is amazing haha, man just skates it off like "yall like that?"

[@recchi51]

I see a few comments that #1 (Malik) wasn't the best goal. I think context is super important to understand why it tops the list. It was the first year of the shootout and still early in the season. We weren't quite sure what to expect and some fans hadn't watched one yet. This was the first legendary moment that put shootouts on the map in the NHL. This was in the FIFTEENTH round, which stood as the longest shootout for quite some time. And since it was so many rounds deep, up steps MAREK MALIK, who ended his career with 33 goals in 691 games. For that player to pull that move at that moment was unbelievable. That's why it's a much-deserving #1.

[@judybooty77]

And no one thought he was goin go score

[@kurtisbrumbaugh6081]

Exactly, he was the fifteenth guy out, no one expected him to pull off a crazy move like that

[@JanosXyn]

Thanks for the context. That makes an already impressive goal even better!

[@kevinstull8552]

And the shot was taken between the legs as well. Beautiful goal for a big man.

[@andrewhogan6533]

As a Rangers fan it was amazing because of that, and I believe this was the season after the lockout so it was a bit of a magical season because of Jagr and a bunch of blue collar guys that really brought respectability back to the Rangers.

I'm not a hockey fan, and I never played the sport. But the most beautiful to me was #11, Pavel Datsyuk.

The goalie was completely lost, he barely appear in the footage. Amazing move.

@Justin Roberts - The last time I missed a player as much as I miss Pavel Datsyuk, was in 1971, when Gordie Howe retired after 25 yrs. As Gordie was tops in his time, so Pavel was in mine. I was only old enough to catch the last 7 years of Howe, and all 14 for Datsyuk. {A tremendous bonus was having Yzerman, Lidström, Zetterberg, and a few more epic players join the memories} I've always considered myself blessed to have had 21 years of watching two phenomenal players do their thing, for my team; and the myriad of exceptional players that made my 2nd group of players, as memorable as the first.

Context is important. It was the first game Crosby played against his former childhood team the Canadians. The pens actually had high expectations for themselves that year. Although the season still wasn’t great, this is earlier on in the season and they hadn’t had a win in some time, they take the game to OT and it comes down to sid. His first shootout against his old favorite team, last shooter in the final round, he could end it if he scores. Rookie phenom with all the weight on his shoulders. He makes the move and in the process launches the water bottle off the net.. you also gotta remember how easy crosby makes everything look, the head movement and fake leg kick are so subtle but he fakes them at the perfect to take it backhand top shelf, had the goalie on a string and Mellon arena erupted.. it was so loud I’ve never heard it once like that at the new ppg paints arena.

Datsyuk has to be one of the most underrated hockey player of all time maybe due to the fact that he was a very low profile character. Datsyuk has in my opinion one of the highest hockey IQ and the greatest hands in the sport. He was never caught in the box for stupid penalties and was super reliable defensively. I used to watch Detroit games on TV even though I am a hardcore HABS fan just to see Pavel Datsyuk maneuver the puck in between skates and sticks without getting touched. He has to figure among the GOAT of this sport IMO.

[@vangelis7]

I agree completely. Just cause he didnt put up 100+ point seasons (he could have if he wanted to) . In my opinion the best player in the league for a good 7 year stretch. The NHLs first internet viral star. The best 2-way player ive ever seen and the best hands Ive ever seen. Like you mentioned too his IQ was off the charts.

Not the best goal scorer but best all round player

Best goal scorer of all time? In terms of scoring goals, Ovechkin is king

[@isarealboy359]

@@Howlingburd19 Datsyuk has 2 highlights in this reel. How many does Ovi have? Again, stats don't reflect it, but Pavel is the greatest goal scorer. Ovi is a one trick pony.

@@isarealboy359 highlight reals doesn’t mean you’re the “best of the the best of the best”. I’m talking about goal scoring in general; if it was shoot-out, than absolutely Datsyuk would win, he’s a monster O.o Am I saying Ovechkin is a better player than Datsyuk? No, not at all, I’m saying in terms of “goal-scoring” and the era the player was in (remember, it was MUCH easier to score in the past), Ovechkin is the best. Also, I don’t really see how Ovechkin is a “one-trick pony”, but okay...

You didn't disappoint!! I was thinking of all the gifted scorers there were, that Malik goal had to be number one!!
