Vladimir Tarasenko ‘Forsbergs’ Wild for incredible goal (Video)

This move will always be called ‘The Forsberg’ for his stamp goal performance in the 1994 Winter Olympics. But Blues forward Vladimir Tarasenko is making a push to rename it. 

Remember that time when he did it against the New York Rangers earlier the year? Apparently he has enough skill to do this crazy awesome move twice in the same year.

What’s goodbye in Russian, because he totally said it to Wild defenseman Matt Dumba on that score. 

Per the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, which was at the scene:

Tarasenko’s goal was reminiscent of his highlight-reel goal against the New York Rangers earlier this season, tricking Dubnyk by moving to his left and leaving his right arm free to drag the puck in.

“It was deja vu,” (defenseman) Shattenkirk said. “That was pretty sick. The fact that he has the poise to do that under that kind of pressure is unbelievable.”

Tarasenko finished St. Louis’ Game 4, 6-1 win over the Minnesota with two goals. And the Blues tied the series at 2-2, in spite of coach Ken Hitchcock’s line tinkering. That’s now five goals this series for Tarasenko – who has not disappointed at all. The fact that he can back this type of play in-game at high speeds is pretty incredible.
