What is your favorite type of goal?

[EdJovanovski]

No one said wrap around? Am I the only one who played NHL 92?

There was an NHL 92???

You are correct sir.

I was referring to NHL 94... year of Roenick and the wrap around.

Slapshot on a pure breakaway. I've so seldom seen it. Just Gretzky one time.

No deke or anything fancy. Just ripping one while skating at full speed, in all alone.

How about The Kakko where the scorer comes out of the corner with the puck, drives across the crease, and scores far side. I am not even sure if Kakko has done that in the NHL but that's what i'm waiting for.

Can't decide between coast to coast and the 5-man tic tac toe (every player touches the puck) goal.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

A snipe goal. So usually that is a quick snap shot somewhere in the slot.

 

[NYSPORTS]

Lax goals always make me laugh

 

[notwolfy]

One that isn’t under review.

 

[bernmeister]

good thread OP
one you overlooked was via penalty shot

it is comparable to breakaway, and while slower and perhaps not as exciting in that regard, there is usually an element of strategy on a penalty shot that, being slowed down, is visible and thus easier appreciated.

The best goals are our own game winners.
Everything else as to style is pure preference.

Chef's Kiss. That's exactly the type of goal that's my favorite.

No bullshit, no mind games, no dekes, player to goalie: "let's see if you can stop my hardest shot."

Don't get me wrong, I love great dekes and moves too. But there's something so pure and rare about this particular type of goal on a break away that just makes it so memorable.

Trouba's first goal for the Rangers, gets the pass at the blue line, glides in 10 feet and BOMB, bar down. Sexy. Love when the down ice cam captures a good look of it too. Just look at the rolling puck about to nip the bar and fly straight down with just enough of an angle to go behind the line and not in front.

When they shoot it and it rattles around the posts and you're like "was that in?" but they call no goal on the ice but then 35 seconds later the horn goes off to stop play and you know it was a goal.

How is that not winning?

That happens alot with the back post too, but not as cool

Off multiple posts and in or crossbar and trickling over the goal line.
