Drew Shore thought it was a bit odd when he received the above fortune cookie at Belarus’ lone Chinese dining establishment last night, but that didn’t stop him from fulfilling said prophecy.
Warning: The goal you are about to watch may cause heavy breathing, loss of consciousness and in the case of German defender Constnatin Braun: death.
Need a minute? Need to sit down? Need to reflect upon your existence? Go ahead, I have time.
Drew Shore ladies and gentlemen.
Despite a thrilling Stanley Cup Playoffs and obtaining the first overall pick in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft it’s been a long off-season for Panthers fans so let’s talk about this goal in frame by frame detail.
- Shore bears down on Braun from the leftwing looking to the right side with his stick elongated in an attempt to lure the defender to play the pass.
- Braun bites as he has no chance as Shore dips his shoulder and brings the puck between his legs, past a helpless Braun, to his backhand. (note how Braun doesn’t even have time to get his stick in position. He tries to interrupt Shore’s deke with an outstretched knee)
- Shore then drives the net as German goalie Danny aus den Birken prepares for a poke check.
- Shore reads it all the way by switching to his forehand, evading the pokecheck, and sliding the puck 5 hole.
- Shore scores a really, really, really nice goal.
I don’t think I’m alone in saying that I look forward to Shore performing feats like that in Sunrise.
