Kyle Okposo Sniped One of the Nastiest Shootout Goals of the Year

Kyle Okposo is single-handedly making the shootout worthwhile.

No one likes the shootout. Until players like Kyle Okposo get creative and undress the goalie, that is.

Okposo scored one of the best shootout goals of the season Tuesday to help the Islanders pull off a 4-3 victory over the Flyers.

He makes it look so simple, yet completely fools Flyers goalie Michal Neuvirth. The toe-drag was nice, sniping top shelf to complete it was even better. That's going to be a tough one to top. With moves like that, it's no surprise Okposo has scored on 80 percent of his shootout attempts this season.

There should be a one-on-one shootout competition at the All-Star Game between Okposo and Pavel Datsyuk.
