Early Goal of the Year Candidate??

[Big Johnny69]

With all due respect to McCabe's OT winner the other night , I think Jonathan Toews goal last night is the early season winner so far.



Anyways, I can't get a link to post, but go to TSN.ca and click on NHL and then click on the "Kane...." headline and click on the highlight link. It's the first goal you see. A real beauty.

Here's the TSN page, just click on the highlight link.

Brilliant goal. He looks like an amazing talent.

If he and Kane can peak at the same time in a few years, the Hawks will have a deadly one/two punch up front.

LOL!!! I just find the goal so incredible because of the level of speed he does it at. Very few can actually make moves and pull them off at full tilt.

Especially with Havlat there to show them the ropes....

Lesson 1: Go on a huge scoring spree and look spectacular doing it.
Lesson 2: Kick a player on the opposing team in the nuts.
Lesson 3: Get a hang nail, go on IR for 5 months.
Lesson 4: Come back for the playoffs, struggle to get in game shape, then light it up the last few games before your team exits early, leaving the impression of what could've been.
Lesson 5: Repeat
Lesson 6: Repeat again until frustration causes your GM to trade you for 5 cents on the dollar...

Methinks that there should also be a lesson covering how to throw your shoulder out on command

My Brother In Law is the Equipment Manager for the London Knights, so he saw Pat Kane in action close up last season.
What he told me is this "He never has to look at where the puck is on his stick. He knows where it is at all times. So he can look the defenders in the eye, go around them and be looking at the goalie and the open spots in the net"
That is why he tore it up as a Rookie last year in the OHL. The coach for the Guelph Storm said in the newspaper "He is the only kid at that age that I have witnessed who can handle the puck like he does"
Last season with the Knights
GP 58 Goals 62, Assists 83 Points 145, +- 42 PIM 52
The future looks quite bright for Pat Kane.

Ahem BOB, read post #4. Is that not PAT KANE who is mentioned there also????? Plus Kane's goal was not exactly a garbage goal either. If you saw it I am sure you would agree.


Jeeez, I am sorrry I offered a little bit of insight on the #1 Draft Pick. I will withhold any further comments.
