Schremp Vs. Hossa

Rob Schremp, he of YouTube shootout fame, decided to put himself back on the hockey map by scoring a goal in an unusual way a couple of nights ago. However, Schremp's style of scoring goals was already done by another this year: Marian Hossa. Today, HBIC wants to show both goals to determine which one was a better mid-air, baseball-swing goal. Of course, comments are certainly welcome on this topic, so let's go to the videos.

First, Rob Schemp, Islanders vs. Colorado Avalanche:

At first this goal was waved off by the referee. However, review of the goal showed nothing wrong Schremp's unique approach to scoring, and it was awarded to the Islanders.

Marian Hossa's goal, however, looked a lot like Schremp's goal, only it was more of a golf chipshot than a true baseball swing:

Hossa hit it from a knee-high location as opposed to a chest-level swing.

Which one is better? Which one required more skill? Personally, Hossa was skating forward at the time, so it requires a little more timing and luck to tap the pass forward out of mid-air and then swing and score. However, that's just me.

Two beauty goals this season, and I'm hoping for more.

Until next time, keep your sticks on the ice!
