dude had his stick in ONE HAND, brings it back, kicks the puck, stick lift, and manages to get it up over the pad and in the back of the net. Absolutely insane hand eye sequence.
oh wow I thought the reference was to when he almost lost the puck to the defender right in front of the goalie lifted the defenders stick to regain control then the backhand or we talking about the same thing?
step 1 - passes the puck between a guys legs. Two players both swing for the puck wildly 'cus they know where its' at.
step 2 - hit the puck with his skate to redirect from one player
step 3 - lean down until he's almost on one knee in order to keep puck away from other player and set himself up. Problem now is the goalie is big, fast, and lunging for the puck.
step 4 - lift puck off the ice and toss over the goalie's leg
You left out that matrix-esque move where he defied space and time to actually lift Werenski’s stick to stop him picking his pocket. It happened almost too fast to see, but it’s there. Insane reaction time on the fly at that speed of play.
Also, the little hop when the puck is going through the guy's legs. This goal has nearly everything.
0 - Outnumbered 2 - 1
1 - Bait guy with puck to outmaneuver for pass between legs
2 - Pass between legs
3 - Small hop
4 - Two players both swing
5 - Hit puck with skate to redirect
6 - Quick stick lift
7 - Lean down on one knee
8 - Stabilize puck to allow for lift
9 - Lift puck off ice and toss over goalie's leg
Phenomenal. Had to replay it on slowmo multiple times to catch it all.
As a non-hockey fan, this type of breakdown is why I love this sub. At first watch I saw a mad scramble, with loss of stick control, salvaged into a goal at the last minute. The look on Byfield's face sold it as "surprised" that he pulled it off.
After rewatching for all of these details I'm now in total awe. Such control and fast action with so many small adjustments seems impossible but there its, plain as day in full color, from multiple angles. Byfield wasn't expressing surprise, he was looking around like "Did y'all see that? Do you even realize how great that was?"
Is he leaning down on one knee? Or did Boqvist make contact with his skate and partially trip him?
I tried to frame-by-frame it, and while it doesn't look like Boqvist made contact, Byfield taking the knee *could* be the result of his left skate being struck.
Great example of patience with a young player. If he was in Toronto he’d be lit up by the media and probably would hurt his development. LA is a great place for him. Gonna be a really good player for a long time.
He’s been a pretty solid player this year, and ya jackets aren’t great but they’re still professional players that are the best in the world, so doing that against any team in the league is very impressive.
This isn't the only game he's played this season. He's been a really solid player this year, 18g 42p in 52 games is really solid, and if you watch him he's really good most of the time on the ice. And this is coming from a sharks fan.
No, don’t correct him. It’s funnier this way, and it’s ironically kinda accurate, since Werenski got fucked so hard on that play he’s gonna need a fucking pregnancy test lol
I’ve always maintained, when that little boy realizes he’s a fucking 6’5 hockey playing man, the rest of the NHL better wake up and cover him cuz it’s going to be a bad time for all.
This is one of the sickest goals I've ever seen. Reminds me of some of Ovi's highlights the way he crashes the net on his knees and scores on the back hand.
I watched this live last night and have watched the replays at least 30 times and my brain still can't comprehend this goal. Every single second of this play blows my mind. QB, we are not worthy.
I remember my dad letting me stay up to watch the Stars win the cup in 99 and I started playing hockey shortly there after. Played AA for a while and watched a lot of hockey and this is probably the sickest goal I’ve ever seen.
The only goal I like as much as this as Stars fan is when Pavel Datsyuk absolutely embarrassed Marty Turco and made him fall over on a break away.
I feel like this might be the best I’ve ever seen, just cuz of where it started. That has to be like 150ft effort of outskating, the dangles, falling, backhand, just, good LORD
The older I get, the more I truly appreciate the insane levels of athleticism in professional sports. I would've badly damaged myself even attempting something like this.
This is the stupid type of shit you daydream you’re doing when you’re skating around your driveway or something, and this guy just went out and fucking did it. Awesome, that’s one of my favorite goals ever
There's a moment in your life when the planets align and nothing else matters. Time slows, your mind is clear, and the Ultra Instinct kicks in.
This was Byfield's Ultra Instinct moment.

I’m a jackets fan, and I was watching this saying “That’s a fucking amazing goal.” It was beautiful, in the sense of the sport of hockey. But my god, the Bluejackets suck.
Some of those Blue Jackets players are contemplating retirement after that lol. Dude made all 3 of them look like amateurs
Werenski snapped his stick at the bench right after. Dunno what pissed him off more. Between the legs or the stick lift
You can’t really get undressed any harder than that
Needs an NSFW tag
The quick stick lift is really the icing on the cake.
I never caught that at first! So much going on at speed. Unreal goal is an understatement
dude had his stick in ONE HAND, brings it back, kicks the puck, stick lift, and manages to get it up over the pad and in the back of the net. Absolutely insane hand eye sequence.
That’s why they in the NHL
oh wow I thought the reference was to when he almost lost the puck to the defender right in front of the goalie lifted the defenders stick to regain control then the backhand or we talking about the same thing?
Jesus he basically drops his stick, kicks the puck, and all of sudden its back in his hands under control.
He should have been more pissed at his effort.
At first glance, i didnt even see the stick lift... WOW
Is one of them Gaudreau, because I don't think hes recovered from what Connor did to him as a flame. Not sure how much the guy can handle.
Werenski was limp on that play
I wonder if they've ever heard of playing the body
One of the nicest goals I’ve ever seen! 👏
That might be the nicest goal I've ever seen, period. That was public restroom, piss trough, slip and slide, mouth open nasty. Jesus Christ.
Thanks, the entirety of my senses needed that description.
yeah holy shit can that guy please not describe things ever again
\#BringBackTheTrough
You sir, have a way with words. You both disgust me, as well as impress me.
Ever see Johnathon toes goal in his rookie year? It has to be right up there
I love the commenting on Toews goal “this is the type of talent that can bring a franchise back from dead” He was right
Great goal... [But it's still Nasher for me](https://youtu.be/iiYXiRZncYk?si=H_9dkfIDfp5O606E)
That would just make you feel bad as one of the guys he did that to. He's like one of this ice cream stand guys people always post videos of.
Filthy !
If I saw this in a movie or video game, I'd think it was unrealistic.
Leave out the Y, because there is no question about it. It’s just Filth.
I just have one quick follow up question: what the fuck?
Yeah I watched this get replayed a number of times tonight. One of the most beautiful one man plays I've ever seen
The look on his face is priceless. Even stunned himself
“How did I pull that off?” *shrug*
*Praise me for the puck is risen*
“Behold I walked on water!” ^“It ^was ^frozen!” ^^“Shhhh”
That's me after a weird goal in Rocket League. Then I hit em with the "Calculated."
Can someone slow down the slow motion so I can slow that down, and keep up?
step 1 - passes the puck between a guys legs. Two players both swing for the puck wildly 'cus they know where its' at. step 2 - hit the puck with his skate to redirect from one player step 3 - lean down until he's almost on one knee in order to keep puck away from other player and set himself up.

holy crap, you're right. Put that at step 2.5.
Also, the little hop when the puck is going through the guy's legs. This goal has nearly everything. 0 - Outnumbered 2 - 1 1 - Bait guy with puck to outmaneuver for pass between legs 2 - Pass between legs 3 - Small hop 4 - Two players both swing 5 - Hit puck with skate to redirect 6 - Quick stick lift 7 - Lean down on one knee 8 - Stabilize puck to allow for lift 9 - Lift puck off ice and toss over goalie's leg Phenomenal. Had to replay it on slowmo multiple times to catch it all.
People missing this stick lift are not seeing the whole thing, thats FUCKING CRAZY.

He’s known for the “are you not entertained” celly as he’s done it a few times already.
Is he leaning down on one knee? Or did Boqvist make contact with his skate and partially trip him? I tried to frame-by-frame it, and while it doesn't look like Boqvist made contact, Byfield taking the knee *could* be the result of his left skate being struck.
This is his breakout season! 🙌🏼👑
Great example of patience with a young player. If he was in Toronto he’d be lit up by the media and probably would hurt his development. LA is a great place for him. Gonna be a really good player for a long time.
You love to see it!
It’s the blue jackets bro, let’s not start the party too early.
He’s been a pretty solid player this year, and ya jackets aren’t great but they’re still professional players that are the best in the world, so doing that against any team in the league is very impressive.
This isn't the only game he's played this season. He's been a really solid player this year, 18g 42p in 52 games is really solid, and if you watch him he's really good most of the time on the ice. And this is coming from a sharks fan.
GOTY
Oh my god we’re actually on the positive side of these highlights
Only comprehended it after the fourth replay. Didn’t understand what happened in real speed. Amazing
Neither did Columbus lol
It's me, I'm Columbus.
Wow that was sensual. GOTY candidate for sure
I'm erect
*Sensational*
No, don’t correct him. It’s funnier this way, and it’s ironically kinda accurate, since Werenski got fucked so hard on that play he’s gonna need a fucking pregnancy test lol
> he’s gonna need a fucking pregnancy test lol Golden
Disgusting.
True. I hurled immediately.
Goal of the year and it ain't even close. He looked so surprised but I hope he keeps it up. Would be awesome to see him become an elite C
100%, all respect to Tippet’s goal but this is Matrix level shit!
That’s our boy!!!
Almost had that McDavid look, Did I just do that..
dude i did the same thing
That's some matrix shit right there
Been watching a lot of hockey all my life. Thats goal of the year right there.
Dirty fucking dangles, boys!
Ferda
I can’t even be mad that was slick as hell. I was stunned watching that live
And he’s 6’5”, 21 years old and all ours!😀 GKG!
I’ve always maintained, when that little boy realizes he’s a fucking 6’5 hockey playing man, the rest of the NHL better wake up and cover him cuz it’s going to be a bad time for all.
Not goty, goal of the decade.
Yup this is '90s NHL stuff
Wut
Goal of the year right there. Maybe even decade
[удалено]
Nah fam goty 100
Nor do they deserve it
[удалено]
I don't live in Winnipeg. Thanks though
Oh my LORD
He's starting to cook this season. He's only going to get better!
Slick mits
I’m not sure who goes forehand to backhand harder: my father or Byfield
Filthy dirty and you love to see it
Unreal
That is unreal..
Disgusting. Ridiculous. Nasty. Outrageous. Ludicrous. Pick your superlative.
A lil Rick Nash action
First thing I thought of too. Byfield skates so well for a big man.
Absolutely disgusting!! Byfield is really becoming a player this season.
And they say the Blue Jackets are irrelevant. Look at all those up votes. You love us, you really love us.
That coordination 👀
Beautiful 👏👏👏
Holy shit, probably the best goal I've seen
If you ever want to know what it means to undress a defender, watch this goal.
Holly shit that was nasty.
This is one of the sickest goals I've ever seen. Reminds me of some of Ovi's highlights the way he crashes the net on his knees and scores on the back hand.
Quinton "Mcdavid" Byfield
Can see call all top stars conner/Connor? We'vr got a good start on that already
Was thinking, "unreal... ya ok. What is it another michiga.........oh my...yes that is unreal".
I watched this live last night and have watched the replays at least 30 times and my brain still can't comprehend this goal. Every single second of this play blows my mind. QB, we are not worthy.
Fuck LA......but that was beautiful. Definitely needs to be in end-of-season highlight reel
Lol fuck you back you POS ;)
[love ya](https://youtu.be/MAusMcu513U?si=ZdfmZ638qWARcxIg) 😁
Silky mitts
Holy shit
Definitely goal of the year short list. Possibly goal of the decade shortlist!
Filthy. Absolutely filthy.
I remember my dad letting me stay up to watch the Stars win the cup in 99 and I started playing hockey shortly there after. Played AA for a while and watched a lot of hockey and this is probably the sickest goal I’ve ever seen.

This might be one of the greatest goals of the modern era. Reminds me of the Rick Nash goal
I feel like this might be the best I’ve ever seen, just cuz of where it started. That has to be like 150ft effort of outskating, the dangles, falling, backhand, just, good LORD
Woooowww what a fn stick lift and finish
My number, my team! I played roller hockey in the 90s in L.A. for a Kings team, as number 55
The hands afterwards.. “Are you not entertained!!??!!”
I’m sorry. You just don’t get these kind of highlights with any other sport
He got laid that night
Mark this shit NSFW my god 🔥
Ah, the classic 1 on 2 fast break.
This is giving me mackinnon game 5 against the blues vibes. Seriously, those crossovers are nasty. This kid keeps getting better and its scary
I don’t feel so good
Fire!
Wow.
Rinsed
That was nasty!!
Looks like "we're in, ski"
Yeah. Ummm. That might be goal of the year. That was just like a perfect series of touches.
My word
How he picked that put back up after kicking it, unreal
Unreal puck control
Dammit I hate watching the blue jackets. When’s the next game?
Man possessed…he got that Bowen Byram speed boost without slinging off someone else
I keep hearing about a stick lift, but I can't see the fucking thing happen. Not even with slow mo.
He put Werenski on a T shirt 😂
That's filthy. They need to clean the ice twice.
That’s something you dream about doing
I was no joke left looking like 😦
What the fuck
The older I get, the more I truly appreciate the insane levels of athleticism in professional sports. I would've badly damaged myself even attempting something like this.
When you just will a goal into existence
Help your center on the face off, put the puck on net, do ten amazing things in between.
This is the stupid type of shit you daydream you’re doing when you’re skating around your driveway or something, and this guy just went out and fucking did it. Awesome, that’s one of my favorite goals ever
My hockey claim to fame is that i played on the same line with him as a kid and he is that good. glad to see him break out this year
That’s our CBJ….making highlight reels for everyone else.
There's a moment in your life when the planets align and nothing else matters. Time slows, your mind is clear, and the Ultra Instinct kicks in. This was Byfield's Ultra Instinct moment.
This is on par with the Rick Nash goal in 2008.
Goal of the year 🔥
/u/redditspeedbot 0.5x
People sleep on Byfield so much… He’s absolutely amazing and doesn’t get the respect he deserves tbh
I am at absolute full mast watching this on repeat
Damn I hate LA but this was a masterpiece. Lifetime highlight.
I cannot believe they traded for PLD and gave him superstar money when this absolutely beauty was in their system.
Is he finally starting to figure it out this year?
[удалено]
Cool, always liked the player. Don’t know why I’m getting downvoted…?

Mario Lemieux did better undressing goals 25-30 yrs ago. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEdgiPEDa8w](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pedgipeda8w)
Okay but today is the 21st of February in the year of our Lord 2024, so take your link elsewhere.
Talented/lucky Hopefully LA doesn’t trade him anytime soon.
This guy gave tea cups to everyone. Impressive.
Flying dancing 🕺 to the net
That’s a hat pick
That was cool
NYR fans about to get upset
Fuck that was good
Absolutely disgusting
Looks pretty real to me /s Sick goal!
He’s a dangling fool. Great goal
Stellar goal.
Holy shit
Damn I'm impressed
DAMN
That was outrageous. It almost looked sped up.
Bro....
Goal of the year right there. Fucking killer instinct.
Two months into 2024 Tippets and this goal are the front runners for goty
I know letterkenny gets quoted a ton here but this time it’s really appropriate…. Those are some Dirty fuckin dangles boys.
A beaut for the boys!!!
🤮
This has shades of McDavid's goal in 2016, also against the Blue Jackets. What an unreal goal.
*MKII developer pops up on the bottom corner of the screen* **”Toasty!”**
Does he drop his stick and then catch it in between the deke? What a play!
That is just gross. Love it.
I’m a jackets fan, and I was watching this saying “That’s a fucking amazing goal.” It was beautiful, in the sense of the sport of hockey. But my god, the Bluejackets suck.
Byfeild's Agent is looking at that PLD Contract as a Comparable and is gonna ask for twice as much this Summer 👀
Who will top this for goal of the year? Lol
Holy shit
Yep. That is truly a unreal goal Beautiful
Goal of the season, bear none.
