The Kerrzy Report: Goals of the Week!
Blog — By Kerrzy on January 25, 2012 10:14 AM
I thought it couldn’t get any better around the NHL, but the third week of 2012 was absolutely dynamite when it comes to beauty goals!
In this edition of the GOTW, we’ve got a hard working dangle from the Blues, two insane shorthanded goals, a lovely power play effort and a memorable goal from a young Oiler.
Let’s go!
5. TJ Oshie
The St. Louis Blues have become a powerhouse in the NHL’s Western Conference, not just in terms of sheer size, but also thanks to beauty goals like this one from TJ Oshie. He comes in 2-on-3 with David Perron, takes a pass in front with a defenceman all over him and pulls a nice move on Kari Lehtonen to score.
4. Anton Lander
There’s no hiding the fact that it’s been a tough stretch for the Edmonton Oilers, but there have been some highlights sprinkled in there along the way. Check out this goal from rookie Anton Lander – he busts into the Columbus zone, protects the puck and slides it past Curtis Sanford like a seasoned vet!
3. Jiri Tlusty
It’s a bird! It’s a plane! No, it’s Carolina Hurricanes forward Jiri Tlusty! Watch as Tlusty burns a Capitals defenceman down the right wing, cuts to the middle of the ice and avoids the outstretched leg of Tomas Vokoun to score a diving goal!
2. Logan Couture
Checking in at number two this week is San Jose Sharks forward Logan Couture – check out the hands on this shorthanded tally against the Vancouver Canucks from last Saturday. What a move to send Roberto Luongo the wrong way!
1. Dan Paille
The number one goal from the week that was in the NHL is also a shorthanded marker – this one off the stick of Boston’s Dan Paille. He is so calm as he skates in on the breakaway that he stops pumping his legs at the blue line, and he makes a dazzling move look easy. Watch him fake forehand, pull it backhand and rip it into the upper mesh. Beauty!
What the Puck?
Struggling Buffalo Sabres goalie Ryan Miller is the star of our WTP section this week, for this insane save on Winnipeg’s Tanner Glass:
If only he could do that type of stuff a little more often!

Personal opinion..Paille, Oshie, Couture, Tlusty, and then Lander. But that’s just my opinion. Miller’s save was just stupid. It looked like he had that puck on a string. The best part is seeing three Jets players with their arms in the air, and skating toward each other to celebrate. The only way that would have been better is if the Sabres would have taken it the other way for a goal.
Yea thats always a touch embarassing when you think you’ve sniped, but everyone else is still playing. I put the Oshie one lower because it was just such a gritty dangle haha
ya
ya?
i like how calm paille was and just so quick and smooth with his hands
Looked like he was in the All-Star game…no hustle, all finish
Millers save was a beauty.
miller had a beauty save
I dont think those were the best goals this season
Me neither – this is the top five goals from the week of January 16th
so sick
Hmm Miller time is coming back!
Lets hope!
logan couture puuuuuuuuuureeee beauty
Sick
good selection
wow what a save by miller that was great
first off Miller is still one of the biggest pussies in the show, second this was the weakest week for goals yet, great genos but nothing out of this world
I disagree – the Paille one is a thing of beauty and the Couture one is filthy. Next week should be awkward though…only a couple days to choose from lol
sick list boys
huge oshie fan so glad to see him crack the top ten
Hardest working highlight reel goal I’ve ever seen haha
Kerrzy comes through again, I almost forgot about Oshie he was so touted at one point and then kinda died off but his and Lander’s goals are my absolute favorite way to light the lamp…. As for Miller great save but I hope he continues to struggle guys a winer
Some good ones. but Detroit had some sick shootout goals. Why not at least get a honorable mention.
I don’t count shootout goals for the Top 5 because it’s a whole different set of circumstances…but you’re right, the Wings have been dynamite in the shootout. Zetterberg, Hudler and Bertuzzi especially
Love it eh
great picks, millers save was unreal
all good choices, as a sabres fan I can only wish miller would make a few more saves like that. this year has just been bad for him to say the least…
These were awesome but I look forward to seeing if the All Star game can produce of couple of choices for next week!
Paille the 4th line grinder showing his skills on the PK. good goal
Sick list again, hoping we have some kind of vote at the end of the season for goal of the year. Would like to see everyone’s opinion
sooo sick

Tlustys goal was definitely the prettiest, should be bumped up a couple spots eh? coutures goal was pretty nice too tho

Jiri tlusty’s goal….#1 in my book

Oshie is so sick, I will hopefully be meeting him this summer and doing some training with him in Minnesota.
