Here's another one ... absolutely perfect:

Shane Doan deflection goal

You can't even see what happened at real-time speed. But when you watch the slow-motion replay you see how well coordinated this goal was. The Phoenix center won the faceoff back to his defenseman. At around the 0:34 mark he sees that the defenseman has possession and is preparing to shoot, so he bolts to his left and takes the opposing center with him -- thereby opening the shooting lane for the defenseman.

Meanwhile, Shane Doan lines up at right wing and immediately gets position inside his defender so he can move toward the goal and get his stick down on the ice as the low shot is made on goal. The goalie plays the original shot well, but Doan deflects the puck perfectly up to the far corner over the goalie's shoulder.
