#5 – NHL Playoffs buzzer beater for Colorado Avalanche, Nazem Kadri

The NHL playoffs are just two days old, and already we have an OT goal and a buzzer beater. Watch Nazem Kadri down the Blues with just 0.01 on the clock. Colorado is making a strong case to be the top seed in the West round robin.

#4 – Laser beam time from Philadelphia Flyers, Philippe Myers

The Flyers, Philippe Myers is starting to earn a reputation for his shot. Not only for it being hard, but now deadly accurate. Watch out NHL goalies.

#3 – Michael Grabner goes howling for the Coyotes with a shorty

Michael Grabner is the Lightning McQueen of hockey players. You know the main character from the Pixar movie, Cars. “Speed. I am speed,” is what Grabs probably says before the start of every game. Watch the motor and the finish on this shorthanded goal.

#2 – Cam Atkinson seals the deal for the Columbus Blue Jackets with a wicked wrister

The Blue Jackets won game one against Toronto and this wrister is what did them in. What a shot by Cam Atkinson.

#1 – Auston Matthews scores…NOPE! What a save by

Not all heroes wear capes. And not all goals go in, I guess. Yes, this is supposed to be about top goals, but what would a great goal be without saves like this from Joonas Korpisalo.
