I know, I know, you’re going to say Jocelyne Lamoureux’s game-winner to beat Canada at the Winter Olympics was the best and that was incredible too, but that goal was also in a shootout. This goal by St. Cloud State forward Ryan Poehling wasn’t only jaw-dropping, it happened while he was being chased down by a North Dakota defenseman.
Sure, any hockey player can pull off a between-the-legs goal in practice and the move has been done before in shootouts, but to do it in the middle of a game? This was spectacular.
Are you kidding me?

Here’s another look.
The Montreal Canadiens selected Poehling in the first round of the 2017 NHL draft. Gotta love the moxie in the 19-year-old.
