I am not the best judge of gymnastics, but if I were to have to grade this backflip by KHL goalie Ilya Ezhov I would give it a 7.9. It was a great effort but he did not nail the landing and then tried to cover it up by pretending he was Thor and taking a knee. I will not address the dancing portion of the .GIF or ask any questions about why…
Good game, good effort.
