Trevor Zegras scored another bonkers lacrosse goal … but it was sadly taken away by replay

This was incredible even if it didn’t count.

Thanks a lot, replay reviews.

Sure, you’re great at getting calls right, which is really the most important thing.

But sometimes, you rob us of amazing scores and touchdowns and such. And that happened on Wednesday, when the magical Trevor Zegras pulled off another lacrosse-style goal for the Anaheim Ducks. He’s seriously unreal behind the net — remember the alley-oop pass? — and is a threat to do this nightly.

Bad news: the Minnesota Wild challenged, and it turns out Dmitry Kulikov was offside long before that. BOOOOOO!

Still, you’ve got to see this thing, it’s just spectacular from start to finish:

Can we challenge the challenge please?

Trevor Zegras scored a blindfolded goal at the NHL All-Star Skills Competition and fans went wild

HOW???

There is no one doing it better in the NHL than Trevor Zegras right now.

Zegras is only a 20-year-old rookie playing for the Anaheim Ducks, but over the last few months we’ve seen some incredible creativity out of the kid. Seriously, Zegras has scored one goal of the year contender and assisted on another, all within the span of two months.

On Friday, during the NHL’s All-Star Skills Competition, Zegras was at it again during the Breakaway Challenge. For starters, Zegras came out in full Peter LaFleur attire, invoking a full Dodgeball reference. Not only that, Zegras went the extra step and took his shot with a blindfold on while being pelted by dodgeballs.

Oh, and for good measure, Zegras scored on his attempt. Just because he’s that insane.

There’s nothing Zegras can’t do, is there? What an awesome display of what his talent brings to the NHL and the hockey world. And somehow, Zegras didn’t even win the event!!! Las Vegas bias got to the voting panel as Alex Pietrangelo of the Vegas Golden Knights won instead. A shame.

Hockey fans, however, absolutely loved Zegras’s moves as he stole the show at the NHL All-Star Skills Competition.

Trevor Zegras nets bonkers lacrosse goal for Ducks with absolutely filthy move

Trevor Zegras is a mad man!

Trevor Zegras is a bad, bad man.

First, it was his alley-oop pass over the net to assist on one of the NHL’s most creative plays in the modern era back in December. Now? It’s a gorgeous lacrosse goal that will go down as yet another highlight-reel play for the young Anaheim Ducks forward.

On Thursday, Zegras pulled off this lacrosse goal — or The Michigan or The Svechnikov, however you want to call it — on poor Montreal Canadiens goaltender Sam Montembeault in the early stages of the second period. With the Ducks up 3-1, Zegras took the puck behind the net, brought it up onto his stick, then deposited it into the net with a quick flick of his wrist, all in stride and at full speed.

Seriously, this is a thing of beauty.

What a goal from a talented young player that is set to be the future of the NHL. Hockey 100 percent needs more players like Zegras and this goal shows us exactly why.

Ducks’ Trevor Zegras tosses alley-oop pass over the net for one of the best goals of the NHL season

HOW?

You’ve never seen a goal like the one Trevor Zegras just helped make happen.

During the second period of the Anaheim Ducks matchup against the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday, Sonny Milano broke the ice for the visitors in a big way. With the puck on Zegras’ stick behind the Sabres net, the 20-year-old pulled back like he was readying to attempt a lacrosse-style goal.

However, instead of putting the puck on net, Zegras then tossed the puck up and over the goal cage — alley-oop style — to a waiting Milano in front of the net, who tapped in the 1-0 goal past goaltender Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen. It’s a goal that has to be seen to be believed, because it’s just as ridiculous as it sounds.

Just… wow! I’ve never seen a goal like that ever in my time watching hockey. Here’s a slow-mo replay of Zegras’ magical pass to Milano up and over the net once more, just for fun.

And look at their reactions!!! Zegras is just completely stunned while Milano is as hype as can be.

This is, without a doubt, one of the best goals we’ve seen in the NHL this year. It’s right up there with Connor McDavid making the entirety of the New York Rangers look like complete fools with this one-man effort back in November.

What incredible creativity from Zegras and what skill from Milano to put it home.
