It seems a bit bold to hand out “goal of the year” before the NHL season even starts, but that’s how good this goal by Vincent Praplan is. The 20-year old Kloten Flyers forward scored this absolute beauty on Friday in a Champions Hockey League game versus HV71. The spin-o-rama entry move, the toss to himself while splitting defenders, and the slick move to deke the goalie to cap it all off. Absolutely unreal.

Here, enjoy it endlessly. You won’t see anything prettier this year…I think.
