Watch as Artturi Lehkonen earns the Colorado Avalanche’s first goal of the playoffs in bizarre fashion, as the puck takes a bounce off his skate in mid-air and beats Dallas Stars goalie Jake Oettinger, with the goal being confirmed after review.

Officiating gets really weird whenever the Avs play… must be a coincidence ?
Man that's a weird killer if that's goal is against my team. But it's funny when it's not 😂
There can't be intent with a top-corner kick…
Hell , this is the first top corner kick goal I've ever seen.
I agree with the call. It's just a fortunate accident for the avs.
The king of stupidly weird goals in the most clutch moments lol😂
I think what blows me away is even when you get a situation like this when it's clear as day it wasn't a kicking motion…..People still try to claim it was.
Couldn't do that if you tried. Wacky play.
You know these playoffs gonna' be great when it starts with one of the most beautiful soccer goals in history.
Woah there messi
It looks like it's going to be 8 loses in a row for Dallas. Goes to show you. When you suck going into the playoff. You suck in the playoff! Colorado in 4. SWEEP! Another highly talented Stars team bits the dust!
Мне уже нравится этот плэй офф
Love Love Love ❤ 🤘✌️
That was the most soccer-like NHL goal I've ever seen, and yet, I think it was legal.
Kicking motion if there ever was one. If it was the flames that scored that it would be no goal.
It's a good goal as no reasonable person would consider that he intended to kick the goal into the net. The rules state no "distinct kicking motion" and that distinction is further explained as being deliberate.
If curly headed doofus matthew tkachuck can kick a goal in then this goal was above good
That's even better than a soccer goal!
Best goal of the playoffs so far
He knows it was intentional.
Even if Lehkonen is a soccer player I doubt he could have intentionally pulled that one off.
how could that even be reviewed?
what a waste of time lol
imagine if he actually meant to do that.
One of the wildest I've seen in a while, thing was bouncing around like a pinball!
If it was a Canadian team in the playoffs = no goal
I’ve watched Dallas be awarded with a goal after a blatant kicking motion that went into a dislogged next count in the playoffs against Minnesota. If that was a goal, then this is easily a goal
dallas needs to STFU. they shouldn't even have a stanley cup.
Somebody tell him to quit hockey and play soccer 😂😂😂
That has to be one of the luckiest goals in NHL history and the fact, that it went top shelf like that….lmao.
Lucky? Yes. Impossible to recreate? Yes. Entirelly unintentional kick? Only the kicker will ever know. Do I think he scored it on purpose? No. Did he know exactly where that puck was and try to propel it towards the net? I think he did. But again, only one man will ever really know, haha. Fluke, glad it counted.
Slow motion replay tends to ruin incidents like this, as the viewer can be lulled into a false sense of how fast things actually occurred.
That's a Dang It.
Old skool spanking tonight! Thats for that hearbreaker celly last year! Duchene really knows how to leave a foul taste in a mouth!
Lucky goal. This team is stacked.
Let's go 🏒
You got to be kidding me by saying that was a kicking motion. He was leveling down and you’re telling me that Lehkonen knew where the puck was?
Niin Artturimainen maali 😂🇫🇮✊💪
Lehkonen is either the best soccer player in the world disguising himself as a great hockey player, or this is just an accident. Your judgment, and I know which I lean towards.
That’s what I like to call a GOOOOOOLLLLLAZZZZZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! GOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!
It was not a distinct kicking motion… is was clearly a distinct falling motion lol
1:25 What a music?
Lehkonen with the Premier league goal of the year, Congratulations!!!
