Rare occurance? Faceoff Shot Goal goes straight in

[datek23]

In Game 7 with Detroit & Phoenix the only goal for Phoenix was a faceoff shot that went straigth in...Does that happen alot or is this just a super rare occurence?

Gretzky had several of these back in the day.

Jeff Carter had one earlier this season... just some sleeping netminders. It's attempted every so often but it's difficult to get it away clean and on net.

Tough for a goalie when those come clean off the faceoff

[PuckOff]

It does happen so it's not as rare as people think.

I remember Mario used to try this all the damn time.... I think he only did it once though

I've heard it's one of those things centres do to vary strategies-they say taking the draw can be a little tedious but I really wouldn't know being back on the blue line.

Only one goal in the game, and they score it off the faceoff. Now thats probably pretty rare.

Its very rare, I cant remember the last time I saw it happen.
