Mike Ribeiro Between The Legs Goal

If you’re a follower of NHL Digest, then you know how much we appreciate the between-the-legs goals and Mike Ribeiro provided us with a beauty against Florida!

This between-the-legs goal from Ribeiro is very similar to the one scored last season by Rick Nash.  Both were in very close to the net and instinctively reacted to create a better shooting angle by taking the shot from between the legs.

In reality it isn’t so much that the shot takes place between the legs, it is the speed at which today’s players can react to the situation, place the puck and stick between their legs and release the shot.
