This goal came in OT in the 3rd game of the AHL's Calder Cup Finals. The Admirals have a 3 - 0 lead in the series now. This team also at one point won 29 straight games this season, which is the longest such streak in the AHL/NHL... maybe professional sports. Anyways watch and enjoy...

I watched the video and what it looks like, the Admirals player came in, tried to dump it in off the glass and it hit precisely off the divider between two panes of glass and skittered in the goal, to the shock of the Toronto players and fans

Yeah he was pretty much right at center ice and he shoots it into the Toronto zone off the glass and it hit the divider and bounces straight sideways into the goal instead of going around the glass like usual. If you go full screen you can see it a little better. Sorry I couldn't find an HD version :(

When you win 29 games in a row and get on the brink of a title like they have, youre gonna have a few crazy goals along the way.

The game I saw between LU and Oklahoma two years ago had one go in that way for OU.

Its one of those goals that he probably couldnt replicate if he shot the puck from that spot a hundred times
