esteef 2,679 Report post Posted November 30, 2007 (edited) I must've watched Kopecky's goal about 10 times already! From Lilja waiting for the lane to open up, to the exchange between them, to Kopecky making the move and just roofing it it! Stellar job boys! We're all just numb to plays like this because we've got guys like Datsyuk and Zetterberg on our team! Kopecky Goal (Click where it says click!)

BeeRYCE 2 Report post Posted November 30, 2007 It was a nice head fake and what not, but I still found it a bit overrated. It was nice, just nothing too spectacular. One of those effortless looking goals you see from guys like Getzlaf and Lecavalier nightly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RedWings Gone Wild 6 Report post Posted November 30, 2007 Yea, it was a beautiful goal. We've had a couple nice ones so far this season, Hudler had a great one earlier in the season too. If someone has a link to a video with the replays and stuff I'd like to see it with slow motion and such. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lol....you just contradicted yourself, and proved the point that it was a fantastic goal coming from someone like Kopecky because he scored a goal similar to Getzlaf and Vinny. I'd say for kopay thats pretty good. Also i wouldnt even consider getzlaf to score those nightly, he has more garbage goals than top shelf beauties Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sergei_is_still_a_wing 1 Report post Posted November 30, 2007 i'm not gonna lie. i think this goal is stupendous. and if not for the great head fake and move to the backhand, then a top shelf shot, simply THE ANGLE at which it was done was impressive. he was maybe 2-3 feet from the red line and managed to hit the corner. thats insane. just my 2 cents.

BeeRYCE 2 Report post Posted November 30, 2007 At 2 or 3 feet from the red line, any professional player should be able to corner it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest DetroitIan Report post Posted November 30, 2007 My God that goal was a beaut. I almost hit my head on the ceilling when he scored that goal. Im looking forward to seeing more of that from Kopecky. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
auxlepli 17 Report post Posted November 30, 2007 (edited) Yes. It's a great goal IMO. While others have criticized it, I've seen many miss those type of goals and from that close too. Edited November 30, 2007 by auxlepli Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Congrats to Kopecky for joining the company of Colton Orr, Eric Godard, and Raitis Ivanans with his first goal I'd still take him over any of those guys. None of them have any "team toughness". Besides, that goal will probably excuse his pathetic play this season for the next 10 games here on LGW. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BringHomeTheCup! 0 Report post Posted December 1, 2007 I was at the game last night, Kopy's goal looked impossible from where he shot it. Not only was the angle just sick, but Denis was way out of the net, which made it more difficult. Just a beauty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BeeRYCE 2 Report post Posted December 1, 2007 what are you talking about? He made a nice fake to freeze the goaltender, then roofed it on the backhand. Somebody said it was amazing that he had the ability to roof the puck when he was that deep into zone (2 or 3 feet behind the goal line). That isn't that hard to do, while I'll agree that the initial head fake was impressive, after that was all said and done, the shot wasn't as incredibly difficult as people put it out to be. 2 or 3 feet from the goal line isn't that tough of an angle.

I'll admit the technique wasn't by any means difficult to pull off, but it was probably the best way for him to guarantee himself a goal, and we definitely can't forget style points . I just hope that goal lights a spark and he becomes a bit more of a consistent scorer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And it wasn't the greatest goal of all time, but I really like seeing Kopecky showing the instincts and patience of a goal scorer like that. He didn't panic, made a nice move and buried it.
