The Goal That Explains Why You Should Watch Ice Hockey

The NHL returned last week, and the long, long season may already have it's most unique and stylish goal.

Last night, the San Jose Sharks beat the New York Rangers 9-2 in the Shark Tank with Tomas Hertl scoring four times in the process to maintain the Sharks' 100% start to the 82-game season.

The 19-year old Czech has thrown himself into the spotlight with this amazing piece of skill and quick-thinking, but I'm still counting this goal as the best I've ever seen, especially as it won Finland a World Championship semi-final in 2010.
