Happy Monday!
This week on 15 Minutes of Fame, we look at the drama leading up to the first overall pick 2012 NHL Entry Draft and a couple of big trades that happened on draft day. As well: a look ahead to game one of the CFL season, the latest on the NFL’s bounty program, some Euro 2012 controversy and a look at some boxing news.
In the GABBYs: The Miami Heat, Evgeni Malkin, R.A. Dickey, David Nalbandian, Nicklas Bendtner & Joel Peralta. The Punchline this week is LeBron James!
Things are heating up around the NHL as the trade deadline approaches, but don’t worry folks – I’ve got a No Movement Clause!
This week on the GOTW, we’ve got a beautiful shorthanded goal from one of the Staal brothers, a monumental goal from a long-time Duck, a strangely awesome overtime winner, a last-second GWG and a wicked breakaway goal from one of the league’s rising stars.
Let’s go!
5. Eric Staal
Carolina Hurricanes captain Eric Staal made the Habs look foolish last week with this shorthanded goal around Tomas Kaberle. He drives right around him, cuts to the net and then jams a slow-roller past Carey Price.
(AFTER THE JUMP: The rest of the Top 5!)
The NHL is finally back, and what an opening week it was!
Sure, it’s too early in the season to get a good read on how your team is going to do and who is going to run away with all of the individual awards, but at least we can now sit back and watch the multitude of early season dangles!
Throughout the year, I’ll be counting down the top five goals each week ending each Sunday. I’ll also be trying to track down the “What the Puck” moment of each and every week of the NHL season, which you’ll find after the number one gino.
Here we go!
5. Jiri Hudler
Detroit Red Wings forward Jiri Hudler gets us started this week, taking a nice feed from Pavel Datsyuk before making a deposit into the bank of shelf with a sick backhander! If I had to caption Craig Anderson’s post-goal response, it would probably read: C’mon Man! VIDEO AFTER THE JUMP! (more…)
