When the phrase "the goal" is used by NHL people, fans and media, two are usually thought of:
1. Bobby Orr's flying through the air goal to win the Stanley Cup for the Boston Bruins in overtime against the St. Louis Blues on May 10, 1970.
2. Alexander Ovechkin's up-ice rush, then scoring while flat on his back with a behind the head flick at the puck against the Phoenix Coyotes on Jan. 15, 2006.
He scored his first goal in his second NHL game.
