Craig Adams of the Pittsburgh Penguins is a Harvard alumnus, so we can only assume his shot from Wednesday night's 3-0 victory against the New York Islanders was carefully planned using protractors and graphing calculators, among other accessories.
Or, perhaps, this is just one of the most delightfully fluky moments we've seen in an NHL contest, as Adams' shot is deflected by goalie Rick DiPietro and right into the water bottle holder on top of the cage.
Check out something you've probably never seen before in a hockey game:
This bizarre hockey moment would have been the lead highlight from the Penguins/Islanders game had it not been for Brent Johnson's one-punch goalie fight against DiPietro that became an international sensation. If nothing else, DiPietro can take solace in the fact that he participated in the creation of two classic highlights, and helped give the world another reason why Craig Adams is The Man.
So when do they add this to the All-Star game skills competition? Trying to re-create it couldn't take any longer than trying to pass the puck into those tiny nets during the skills competition relay challenge ...
At the very least, the NHL should take a page from the old MTV Rock 'N' Jock basketball games' 50-point basket and make the water bottle holder worth 10 goals. Everyone knows casual American fans love scoring.
