A few days ago in New York, St. Louis Blues forward Vladimir Tarasenko scored one of the better goals we’ll see this entire NHL season. The 22-year old Russian carried the puck into the offensive zone with speed, torched a couple of Rangers defenders with some sweet dangles before ultimately pulling a Forsberg-eqsue move on Henrik Lundqvist for the highlight reel goal.
If you haven’t seen it yet, you should take the time to do so in the video above. It’s awesome.
Possibly more awesome, though, is the flipbook that the great goal inspired:
The fantastic hand-drawn booklet was created by theflippest, who has tons of amazing work (plenty of which is sports-related) on his YouTube channel and website.
