The Kerrzy Report: Goals of the Week!
Blog — By Kerrzy on February 24, 2012 11:17 AM
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.
4. Teemu Selanne
Teemu Selanne has since passed Brendan Shanahan on the all-time goals list, but the one that drew him even with Shanny was an absolute beauty. Selanne accepts a nice backhand saucer pass and beats Marc-Andre Fleury with a sweet backhand move.
3. Mike Ribeiro
He’s featured on this list a few times this season, but did you see Mike Ribeiro’s overtime winner against the Flames this past week? He collects the puck by passing his stick to himself behind his own back and then rips a slap shot into the top corner. Beauty!
2. Pavel Datsyuk
The Detroit Red Wings set the NHL record for consecutive home wins this past week, thanks in part to this delightful goal by Pavel Datsyuk. With next to no time left on the clock, he breaks in on Ryan Suter, sends him the wrong way and then rifles a shot into the Nashville net.
1. Steven Stamkos
Tampa Bay Lightning forward Steven Stamkos may be the only player with 50 goals in his sights, and it’s thanks to beauty dangles like this one. Watch as Stamkos breaks in and completely dekes out Tomas Vokoun!
What the Puck?
This one is messed up – Dan Boyle skates towards the red line and sends a slap shot towards the Washington net, but teammate Joe Pavelski tips the puck just outside the blue line, totally fooling Braden Holtby!
To be honest, I’m surprised more teams don’t try this little trick play!

what a tip on the last one
agreed
its too bad Datsyuks out for 2 to 3 weeks, i think if he was in the lineup yesterday they could of kept the streak alive
Agreed buddy, especially in that shootout
Somebody give Braden Holtby a hug cuz that one hurt.
GOTW seems a little empty without Malkin. He’ll be back.
you called it bud
He’s gotta be the most dominant player in the show right now, hands down
Holtby looked like he was trying to do to much. I seen him plenty of times in Hershey… pretty good tender. Good picks this week thanks!
stamkos is sick
stamkos gino was to sick
gotta go with datsyuk hopes he gets back in the line up soon
stamkos is just untouchable. fantasy hero
I like Ribiero’s the best but always a fan of Stamkos and Datsyuk! As for the tip at the blue line that was just an unlucky bounce
I hate the Bolts but Stamkos is so sick.
Datsyuk…. my god. Gotta love how the finish flash still has it at his age too. And that goal on Holtby was crazy haven’t seen a deflection like that before!
been a lot of goals from down town this season
Crazy tip… but have to agree with others, it was a lucky bounce.
beauty list
stamkos has unreal hands
datsyuk and stammer are unreal.. beauty dangles
datduu straight filth, and the speed on stammer is unreal
make room for malkin next week.
DATSYUK IS JUST SICK!!!!!!
unreal goals..stamkos is so good
unreal…
holtbys goal was rough
Feels like Selanne could play forever. Be interesting to see where Geno’s dangle from the Pens game yesterday ranks next week
Selanne’s goal is ridiculous cause his line was pinned in their own zone for atleast 1:30 before he dashed and scored that goal. What a legend.
Datsyuk is on this list every week lol
Sick goal by Ribiero
Beauty goals
beaut
beauts
Selannes got great hands for an old guy! doesnt seem to be slowing down anytime soon
gotta love stammer
great list
great list once again, stamkos is unreal
The backhand sauce to Teemu was a beaut. Ribeiro’s was a bullet. For Datsyuk to pull that off in a tied game, with 10 second left, with the 22nd home win in a row on the line, against one of the best d-men and keepers in the league right now? Unheard of. And what a head’s up play by Pavs. Even though I’m a keeper, I love to see stuff like that!
stamkos with the beauty deke and snipe
Stamkos is sick wicked and nasty! Beauty.
what a beauty by datsyuk, probably would’ve made that my #1 just for how clutch it was with 5 seconds left to keep detroit’s home win streak going
sick goals. love some stammer!
How many top 5, 10 or 20′s is Datsyuk included in daily. Looking back on his career is just going to be insane.
