The Kerrzy Report: Goals of the Week!
Blog — By Kerrzy on February 16, 2012 9:29 AM
There were over 260 goals scored in the 51 games that took place around the NHL last week, but there are only five spots open every week on my GOTW list!
After much deliberation, the list is complete – this week we’ve got a dirty tic-tac-toe, a couple of slick breakaway goals, a beauty move around a veteran blue liner and a defenceman making a whole team look silly for a milestone marker.
Let’s go!
5. Milan Hejduk
There were some pretty nifty passing plays last week, but none was better than this tic-tac-toe by the Colorado Avalanche. The first pass goes across the entire width of the ice, before Paul Stastny hits Milan Hejduk with a one-touch pass for the easy tap-in.
4. Evgeni Malkin
I think it’s safe to say that Pittsburgh Penguins star Evgeni Malkin is easily one of the best players, if not the best player, in the NHL right now, and it’s goals like this one against the Jets that cement that point. He seems to be able to make goalies guess wrong with the greatest of ease!
3. Boyd Gordon
Phoenix Coyotes forward Boyd Gordon put on a show against the Detroit Red Wings last week with this terrific shorthanded goal – he breaks in on Joey Macdonald with the puck on his forehand, he quickly fakes to his backhand, and then he brings it back and slides it home. Sick!
2. Lars Eller
The Toronto Maple Leafs came up way short against the Montreal Canadiens on Mats Sundin’s big night last weekend, but you can’t really blame them when guys like Lars Eller are scoring goals like this one! Watch as Eller drives right past Dion Phaneuf and puts it home for a beauty snipe!
1. Mark Streit
The number one goal of the week comes to us from NY Islanders captain Mark Streit – the defenceman basically skates right through four LA Kings and rips a low backhander into the net for the OT win and the 10,000th goal in Islanders history!
What the Puck?
This week’s WTP moment actually happened a couple of weeks ago, but it’s still funny: Check out the extra baggage that Detroit’s Jan Mursak carried around the ice for an entire shift:
He probably thought someone was right on him that whole time!

nice one touch passing and nice shorty by gordon.
nice list
yea
ya?
The NHL better watch out, Malkin is officially in Beast Mode right now. What a year!
dominating right now no doubt
hundo percent beast mode, the guy is scary.
I finally went to my first pens game in the new arena, and I left to take a wiz early when Geno scored this beauty…Stupid, stupid, stupid! Great picks btw.
never leave during play!
that pass from Stastny was a laser. wow
Great week, I think Geno’s and Duk’s were the best. Awesome list, though.
wtp never ceases to amaze me lol
I thought eller’s was better than streit’s.
They were both pretty gnarly…but I gotta give the edge to an OT winner where a d-man goes through half the club!
haah nice tail hes got
Streits was sick…Gino was damn good as well
great list
Nice list
I want to break my lappy everytime I see that Eller goal.
love me some goals of the week!
Cheers pal!
dirty dangles !!!
I hate how easy they make it look, nice to see some d-men making the list too. But how unreal is Malkin, just unstoppable right now!
I’m not a Pens fan by any stretch of the imagination, but I can’t wait for the next Malkin highlight every night. He’s gotta be the best player in the league right now
great picks their is some dope goals here by some unreal beauts
sick goals
Jones to Stats to Duke, Beauty!
sick selection
Streit’s gino was dirt !!
nuce goals
streits goals was sick good job for a d
number 5 goal was great, love to see that kind of passing
streit is awesome, to bad he plays on long island
sick
dirty ginos!
#1 was unreal…gotta love a good OT goal
wheres Joey MacDonald’s jock after that Boyd Gordan dangle?
nasty dangles
I always enjoy the great goals but having the stick get caught in the jersey is probably something we’ll never see again lol. Like the announcer mentioned it would be interesting if the puck went of the broken stick and he scored lol.
sick selection
