Let's take a look at the top 3 goals from week 2 of the 2013 NHL season:
3. Antoine Roussel notched his first NHL goal of his career in the first period against Phoenix to open up the scoring in that game. To truly capture the greatness of this goal, watch all the slow motion replays following the goal. Roussel made a quick move to the backhand and was able to elevate the puck over the glove of Mike Smith.
2. Initially, the goal may not look too impressive and it was a shootout goal. But the more you watch it, the speed with which Carter went forehand to backhand and elevated the puck over Luongo's blocker was astounding. There are not too many players who can pull that move with that kind of speed.
1. Just a great individual effort. Marchand showed quick acceleration as he powered around Tyler Myers and then showed skill and concentration to be able to drag the puck around Jordan Leopold. Ryan Miller didn't even know how to play the puck and found himself floundering in the crease. Marchand showed a pure goal scorer's patience and waited for the best time to backhand the puck into the net. A great goal from start to finish.
Honorable Mention: Henrik Zetterberg gets the honorable mention this week. This goal completed the hat trick. The great thing about the goal is that T.J. Oshie took a blatant interference call and knocked Zetterberg down to prevent him from getting his hat trick but nothing was going to get in the way of Zetterberg and his goal.
Stay tuned next week for the top 3 goals from week 3.
