His ability to keep the play alive down the sideline and cut back inside on multiple defenders all by his lonesome is truly special.

The fact that the goal itself was a perfectly placed floater to the far corner of the net only adds to the fantastic nature of this play.

It’s gonna take an awful lot to top this for the goal of the year.
