Avoidance on a Saturday Morning

 

Damn, the crap I've assembled this week is grim.

Even for me.

But what's that?

Wait a minute ....

ESPN Page 2's "Behind the Highlights" has a story about Mike Legg's 1996 goal on the Minnesota Golden Gophers in the NCAA National Championship Tournament, better known as the "Frozen Four".

Ahhhh ... blessed avoidance.

The coolest goal ever scored in hockey.

You had to see it to believe it.

Even then, you probably wouldn't have believed what you just saw.

In a 1996 NCAA tournament game between Michigan and Minnesota, Wolverines right wing Mike Legg scored on a puck-flipping, lacrosse-style trick shot that became the most famous goal in college hockey history, a sports highlight-reel staple to this day.
