Goal of The Year in the NHL

Unbelievable skill level.
I had trouble focusing on the video with your Gif flashing me, there. Geezuz.
I think goal of the year is a huge stretch. He took a shot from between the legs. That shot has been going on for years now. It's no longer a novelty. He won it in OT with 1 second left so perhaps dramatic. I think the lacrosse goal takes a lot more skill and much more of a novelty in the NHL. First time success apparently in the NHL.

Important goal too
Here's all the failed attempts. It's not easy.

Matthews tried the lacrosse goal on an open net when he had no time to go to backhand but missed

Yeah, that was Coleman with the Devils against Winnipeg October 4th.
I have no earthly idea how he did that....
Question: Player tries the lacrosse move and has his stick in the air. If opposing player swipes at his stick to knock
the puck off the blade, would that be slashing?

Yes Coleman

only recall Crosby scoring a similar type goal and his was a backhand. can't recall anyone else ever shooting one handed like that for a goal.

This makes Coleman's goal only greater:
New Jersey Devils center Blake Coleman. Midway through the second period in the Devils' season opener on Oct. 4, a teammate's stick clipped Coleman in the mouth, damaging four teeth and depositing a sandwich of fiberglass splinters that had to be extracted as a prelude to an emergency root canal. After missing just four minutes of ice time, though, Coleman returned and scored on a one-handed Frisbee-flip backhand.
I agree but he was off balance and got such a strong shot away. That being said that Blake Coleman one handed goal while lying on the ice defies logic. That is the goal of the year so far. I stand corrected.
This one may even be a better betweener since he deked out a guy skated a bit with it hounded by 2 guys. Good shot selection. Probably would have been checked if he pulled it around for conventional forhand
This goal has to be in the running. 3 in on the goalie where all 3 players actually stop in front of the goalie and each player touches the puck.
