I was going to post the highlight this morning, but got too lazy. That goal is absolutely ridiculous. When the highlight was complete on T.V last night, I sat there and stared at my television for a good while before I blinked.

It absolutely makes it better that the goal came in the 3rd period with 20 seconds left in a tie game.

My jaw dropped after that one. I thought Rick Nash had lost some of his...talent. But good Lord.

And the game situation, with good defense by the Coyotes being put on, too.

I prefer Toews's goal.

Nash was more timely but not as nice IMO.

I also think Toews goal was better as well. Nash has unbelievable stick handling ability, but he sure got lucky on the goal itself. He got a lucky bounce after Bryzgalov poke checked it away from him.

That was reminiscent of Mario. Great goal.

Definitely a ridiculous goal, but like mentioned... I dunno if it beats the Toews goal.

Come on....Toews goal was fantastic and all and clearly #2, but no way.

Toews goal didnt make me yell "what the ****" at my TV at 3 in the morning watching the SportsCenter rerun.

I fully endorse this rating system. Whatever makes ajax yell the loudest profanities at 3 in the morning has to be considered the best by all.

Your right but you probably fainted while watching Toews put on his show thus not being able to scream WTF at the end

I can't choose over Toews/Nash's goal, but I'll be a homer because Toews is my boy.

They were very close IMO in terms of skill. But Nash takes it because of timing, and making up for the penalty.

No problem.

I love how when you go to talk amongst hockey fans almost all prefer Toews' but when it comes to TV the analysts seem to like Nash's...

That just further reiterates the well-known fact that bryant08 = future hockey analyst
