AHL player rips stunning slapshot goal off mid-air pass
Firing a slap shot with accuracy is a difficult hockey skill, and it becomes even tougher when you're attempting to do so via a one-timer. But firing a slap shot with accuracy via a one-timer from a pass in mid-air? Good luck.
Amazingly, an AHL player managed to do just that this week, scoring an absolutely incredible goal that's worth allotting some time to marvel over.
That's Kyle Criscuolo of the Grand Rapids Griffins, AHL affiliate of the Detroit Red Wings. Criscuolo somehow manages to perfectly time a floating saucer pass from a teammate and tee it up for an amazing one-timer that beats the opposing goalie.
There's probably a good chance that these guys couldn't replicate the sequence if they tried -- or it would take them a very long time -- but all the stars just happened to align for this incredible highlight.
