I think that the best thing about this goal is that the Boston goalie Swayman committed a penalty by tripping Eklund by jamming his stick into his legs after he shot to stop him from getting his rebound, and then Eklund tripping through the air in a hockey buzz scored anyways. Instant justice!!! I think that the Bobby Orr iconic goal also involved a trip that was then not called due to the picture perfect goal. Sharks should do a poster of this goal for fans, maybe a series of posters with new faces and their first Sharks goals. Or other milestone goals, such as Celebrini's 50th goal this season in the final game. Coach Warsofsky has to keep this team hot and not burn out before the playoffs and hangf on to that wild card spot rather than drop in and out. Sustained pressure and coordinated luck as shown in Eklund's goal is needed all the way to the end of season. The hockey gods are blessing Mike Grier and the Sharks more luck this season, but not much luck with referees and their unjust calls or non-calls.
