Robert Nilsson with the NHL's Goal of the Year?
Robert Nilsson won his first-round match-up in the NHL's "Goal of the Year" bracket yesterday by crushing the obviously inferior Joe Pavelski. His Round Two match-up will be on June 5th against Marek Svatos. Who knows, maybe an Oiler will actually win something this year.

Lots of highlights in there, but one that is missing: http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/special/?id=20224 – 3rd entry which is Datsyuk … In one play you see so much of the player.

That’s not true. Patrick O’Sullivan won the green jacket by a whopping six strokes, despite missing four and seven more games than his next-closest competition, Shawn Horcoff and Rod Brind’Amour, respectively.

Also, the Oilers as a team led the league in Goals Against, and had the “top” GAA to boot.
I can’t get the interface to work worth a shit to show me the actual Nilsson goal, but as I recall Zorg did all the heavy lifting along the left wing boards to set up the play, and then Stone touched it or something and then Nilsson put it away. I remember thinking, Jeez, I could have made that shot. (The deke, on the other hand …)
