Wow Wheeler!

The term "best ever" gets thrown around a lot these days. Especially by bloggers who think anything special they just saw was the best thing ever. That's what happens when you spend all day in your mother's basement.

But seriously guys, this goal by Boston Bruins rookie Blake Wheeler against the St. Louis Blues from Sunday night definitely qualifies as a 'Goal of the Year' candidate.

Wheeler must have been watching some football from earlier in the day, because he bounces off a defender like a running back off a lineman, then dekes around the Blues defense like they're human pylons and pops it in past a sprawling Manny Legace for a stunning short-handed goal. For some reason, despite all the sweet moves the announcers seem not as impressed as I am. Which is odd because it was carried by NESN who are usually the biggest homers in the business.

So again, I don't want to fall into the blogger trap of calling every thing I see the best thing ever, but I feel comfortable calling this a 'Goal of the Year' candidate. However the one thing I do feel comfortable calling the best thing ever is this french toast I'm eating. Both delicious and filling.

BallHype: hype it up!
