Yes, we understand the irony in having a tie from a skills competition invented to get rid of ties ...

On Jan. 17 vs. the Chicago Blackhawks, Datsyuk unleashed another one of his signature shootout moves to baffle Antti Niemi with a soft floater. (Of course, one could argue it's also Linus Omark's signature move.) Bertuzzi's goal was exceptional for featuring (a) an unlikely spin-o-rama candidate and (b) the mocking snow spray at the end for an exclamation point. Two classic goals in the same shootout.

7. Travis Walsh, Muskegon Lumberjacks

The 17-year-old defenseman in the USHL unleashed this shootout trick against Cedar Rapids on Dec. 4, later saying in an interview: "I didn't have the move planned, but for some reason I got an urge to do it ... I came up with it five years ago when I was messing around with pucks on an outdoor rink. I didn't really think I was going to do it until right before I did it. It ended up working out well."
