Tricky little moves in hockey are impressive for a few reasons.
Firstly, it’s impressive that players can pull some of these dangles off in the first place.
Secondly, it’s impressive that they have the guts to even try.
Such is the case for lacrosse-style goals, which involve players picking up the puck on their stick behind the net and rifling it in top corner before the goalie knows what’s happening.
This afternoon, when the Hamilton Bulldogs faced the Barrie Colts, LA Kings prospect Arthur Kaliyev managed to pull it off - and it was a sight to behold.
Yup, that’s a beauty.
Kaliyev earned first star honours with two goals and two assists to lead the 7-5 win campaign over the Colts, which brings the 2002-born forward to a really impressive 19 points (10 G, 9 A) in just 10 games played this season.
With moves like that? We imagine we’ll be seeing him in the show in no time.
