As someone who watches hockey pretty ardently, I stumbled upon this clip and realized I had no stinking clue what the Karjala Cup is. After a little research it is a Euro hockey tournament held in Finland that is named after a beer company. Who knew? Regardless of the tournament’s lore, it produced one hell of a goal.
This is courtesy of Linus Omark, who is known for this goal here is already known as a wizard with the puck. He may be starting to stake a claim as one of the most exciting players in all of hockey.
The best part may be the relative ease in which he completes it. Not even a big show boating celebration. Trust me, this is not a mundane goal. Show some passion Linus!
