Most amazing shoot-out goal of all time...

This is pretty fucking magical...

Video: Kaspars Daugavins' instant hockey legend shootout goal - Puck Daddy - NHL - Yahoo! Sports

On Sunday afternoon, in an AHL preseason game against the Hamilton Bulldogs, Kaspars Daugavins of the Binghamton Senators scored one of the most remarkable shootout goals of 2010; something that, as we'll explain in a moment, has become the stuff of hockey legend.

Please do not adjust your monitors: The 22-year-old Latvian winger put the nose of his blade on top of the puck and skated into the offensive zone, before performing a 360-degree spin-o-rama to score past Bulldogs goalie Robert Mayer (notes), a Montreal Canadiens prospect.

This goal seemed like it was destined to become the Bigfoot footage of hockey highlights: a fleeting, tantalizing glimpse at something mythic. We contacted the Senators, and they told us that since it was a preseason game at a neutral site in St. John's, Newfoundland, there was no video coverage of the game beyond what this fan captured (and beyond any other footage still lingering offline).

If that's the most amazing shoot out goal then I am glad to say I have never watched a game of hockey in my life.

derp derp... I don't like cricket, but I watched a fair share living over seas. You don't have to necessarily like a certain sport, but to never watch it, especially a well known one?.......ever?

Never seen anything like that in hockey. Very unique... Edit: but I'm no expert.. SUp with this goal?

Yea I thought it was creative and probably takes a shit load of skill, but I wasn't in shock or anything either.

So, people have used this technique before?

Sorry I meant to say full game. The most I ever watched was the last period of the US/Canada game from the previous Olympics. That's the Olympics. I'll watch the curling finals if US is there. I mean hockey is just a more active form of curling right?

i grew up in Minnesota and on the rink. Kids have been trying and doing this since they were 8 or 9. Dont have videos of it cuz well shit who brings a camera to a pick up hockey game, but ya Ive seen it a couple of times.

Hisey, Schremp, and that 9 year old are probably the most well known for funny twirly trick shots...

I guess i should of made title "Extremely awesome shoot out goal shot" it takes alot of skill to do that, make the 360 turn, keeping your stick on top of the puck like that....was pretty cool
