They used to call Jaromir Jagr the human highlight reel. I think it is fair to say that that moniker has been passed on to Alexander Ovechkin. He scored arguably the goal of the regular season (video of Ovechkin's spectacular goal against the Montreal Canadiens) and now you can add to that the goal of the playoffs (so far). Ovechkin was an absolute wrecking ball through the first half of the game, steaming up the ice on rush after rush until he finally buried a beauty where he turned two Rangers inside out before beating Henrik Lundqvist.

Ovechkin has been a man on a mission this series and is finally getting rewarded for his efforts, scoring in the past 2 games after going oh-for on the first 32 shots he fired on Lundqvist in the series. Look for the game Sunday afternoon against the Rangers to be an absolute barn burner.

Wow, then other day when I saw the video of Linus Omark's shootout goal I thought I'd seen the shootout goal of the year. Now, just days later Omark's effort has already been trumped by countryman Nicklas Lindberg. The goal was scored yesterday in a game between Lindberg's Port Huron Icehawks and the Kalamazoo Wings. However, even Lindberg's spectacular effort still couldn't propel his team to victory and the Icehawks lost. Do these Swedish players have a bet going to see who can score the nicest shootout goal? Amazing stuff...

With last night's ridiculous shootout goal against Switzerland Linus Omark really captured the attention of the hockey world. Omark skated in, faked the shot as he cut across the net, and calmly flipped the puck over the sprawled Swiss goalie as he cruised by. The move was similar to one of Detroit's Pavel Datsyuk's signature moves, and though Omark might have some work to do if he wants to be known as the world class dangler Datsyuk is he is certainly putting some spectacular highlight goals on his resume. Among Omark's other gems are a between the legs goal, and another cheeky play where he picked the puck up on his stick behind the net then flipped it off the goalie's back and in the net.

Linus Omark currently plays for Lulea HF in the Swedish Elite League, and is property of the Edmonton Oilers who selected him in the 4th round in the 2007 NHL draft.
