Pierre-Marc Bouchard Shows Spin-o-Rama Is Also Unstoppable During Regulation

Even though we haven't seen many over the past couple of weeks, the spin-o-rama move has become a popular weapon for skaters during tie-breaking shootouts. It's proven to be pretty much unstoppable for goalies, and one has to wonder -- as our Chris Botta did last month -- when some pissed off goalie is just going to go lose it and take out a shooter trying to pull it off.

During Minnesota's 4-1 win against the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night, Wild forward Pierre-Marc Bouchard found himself on a breakway late in the third period and decided to give the move a shot during an actual game. It's not often that you see somebody try it when there are other players on the ice, but Bouchard did, and to no surprise, managed to score with it, tallying his sixth goal of the season beating Nikolai Khabibulin.

Check it out...

In the past we've attempted to find examples of goalies actually finding a way to stop this shot, whether it being during the shootout or during an actual game, and were only able to come up with example: Marty Turco on Ryan Shannon. And even that was a bit of luck, as Shannon failed to get any elevation on the shot. It's as close to unstoppable as any one shot or move can be in the NHL.

Bouchard finished the game with a goal and two assists for the Wild as they continue to fight for a possible playoff spot in the West.
