Rick Nash's One-Legged Shootout Goal

On Wednesday night, the Columbus Blue Jackets were embarrassed on their home ice with a 9-1 loss against the Detroit Red Wings. On Friday night, the team bounced back when the Anaheim Ducks came to town and won, 3-2.

Thanks to Rick Nash, they also received the all important style points. Nash broke out a new move in the third round of the shootout against Ducks netminder J-S Giguere.

With the Blue Jackets up 1-0 in the shootout, Nash had a chance to put the game away if he could beat Giguere. Well, not only did he beat him, but he did it on one leg. Literally. Video after the jump.



Nash pulls a sharp left at the bottom of the circle, picks up his left leg, dekes, and beats Giguere. The goalie seemed to stay with the play pretty well but it seems that the obvious gimmick -- look! a distraction! -- worked perfectly anyway. That would end it and the Blue Jackets would go on to earn their 10th win of the year and staying within two points of the Blackhawks, who beat Toronto by the same margin, in the Central.
