Claude Giroux Scores A Shootout Beauty (Video)
With 25 goals and 80 points in 64 games this season, Claude Giroux has solidified his spot amongst the top ten most skilled players in the NHL these days. And he may have bumped his name up a few more spots on that list following his performance in the shootout during Saturday’s game against the [...]

Devin Setoguchi Blows A Tire During Shootout FAIL! (Video)
Being friends with several fans of the Montreal Canadiens, I have been afforded the privilege of watching that inept team embarrass themselves on the ice game in and game out this season. It has been quite entertaining at times, however, in a rather unusual turn of events, it wasn’t the Habs embarrassing themselves last night. [...]

Oliver Wahlstrom Scores Another Amazing Lacrosse-Style Shootout Goal (Video)
The last time we saw young hockey prodigy Oliver Wahlstrom in action, he was dazzling us with him impressive lacrosse-style shootout move during intermission of a Boston Bruins game over two years ago. It appears as though he has been working on some new moves during his two-year hiatus, and all of that practice paid [...]

Vladimir Tarasenko Scores An Amazing Shootout Goal During The KHL Skills Competition (Video)
You may have heard someone in the game of hockey use the saying, “he had the puck on a string” at some point in your life. Of course, no one has ever actually had the puck on a string (I believe that would be illegal in the game of hockey), until now! During the KHL [...]

With just under two minutes remaining in overtime during last night’s game between the New York Rangers and the Phoenix Coyotes at Madison Square Gardens, Rangers forwards Marian Gaborik was sent in alone on a break-away before being hooked from behind by Coyotes defenseman Adrian Aucoin.

Leafs’ Colton Orr Was Tebowing Following A Shootout Goal (Video)
With only 11 goals and 20 points throughout his seven-year NHL career, Toronto Maple Leafs enforcer Colton Orr hasn’t had plenty of opportunities to show off his goal celebrations. He was afforded that opportunity during the Leafs Nation Fan Night at the Air Canada Center last night, and he took full advantage by getting down [...]

Patrick Kane Scores An Incredible Shootout Goal (Video)
Patrick Kane is accustomed to using his blazing speed and accurate shot in order to score goals, but he didn’t need either to beat Minnesota Wild goaltender Niklas Backstrom during last night’s shootout. Moving towards the goal at a snail’s pace, all that the Blackhawks’ All-Star forward needed was some wicked stickhandling in order to [...]

Todd Bertuzzi Scores A Shootout Doozie (Video)
When we bring you shootout highlights from a Detroit Red Wings game, there tends to be a good chance that they will feature Pavel Datsyuk mesmerizing a goalie with one of his Datsyukian dekes. However, Datsyuk isn’t the only member of the Red Wings with some rather remarkable hands. Todd Bertuzzi proved that his hands [...]

For all you hockey fans out there who have been feeling a little deprived due to the lack of on-ice highlights during these hot summer months, the Islanders’ 2011 first-round draft pick, Ryan Strome, is here to help you get your fix Islanders fans knew that when their team used their fifth-overall pick on the [...]

Martin St. Louis Scores An Awe-Inspiring Shootout Goal (Video)
With the likes of Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane, Marian Hossa, Marin St. Louis and Steven Stamkos all suited up for last night’s meeting between the Chicago Blackhawks and the Tampa Bay Lightning, there was certainly no shortage of offensive firepower on display (we didn’t even mention Patrick Sharp or Vincent Lecavalier). As a result, one [...]

Linus Klasen Scores A Spectcular Spin-O-Rama Shootout Goal (Video)
Now where was this move during the NHL All-Star Skills Competition? I simply don’t get it. Every year the NHL seems to give their Breakaway Challenge a shot and every year the participants seem to disappoint us with their lack of creativity. After all, how many times can we watch a player scoop the puck [...]

Western Michigan Defenseman Makes Ohio State Goalie Look Silly (Video)
We are not even a month into the new year and already 2011 has treated us to more spectacular shootout goals than we witnessed throughout all of 2010. It began with Mikhail Grabovski’s stunning spin-o-rama move on the Blues’ Ty Conklin two weeks ago. The brilliance continued Tuesday night with an abundance of creativity from [...]

Ilya Kovalchuk Shootout FAIL! (Video)
Is signing a 15-year, $100-million contract really worth all the baggage that comes with it? Sure, you are one rich man, but for a shorter contract and less money, you would still be a rich man, and you wouldn’t be put under a similar microscope. I would love to hear Ilya Kovalchuk’s answer to that [...]

Linus Klasen Scores A Shootout Beauty (Video)
Had he done this a few months earlier, you can bet Linus Klasen would have found himself on this list of the top shootout innovations. Unfortunately he didn’t, but better late than never! During a Swedish Elite League game last night, Sodertalje’s leading scorer stepped up against Frolunda goaltender Johan Holmqvist and made the former [...]

Hockey’s Top 10 Most Creative Shootout Goals (Video)
There’s a huge debate about whether or not the NHL should nix the shootout in favor of ties or more sudden death overtimes because it takes away from the game. Those against the shootout contend that it rewards teams who have players with good one-on-one moves, not necessarily the better teams, with an extra [...]
