BROOKS, Alberta — Cale Makar collected the puck along the left wall, faked like he was going to the middle of the ice and instead cut toward the net with a violent juke that sent a defender to the ice.
Makar’s burst of speed was so furious, the other defenders nearby missed their angle and could not stop him en route to a goal.
Brooks Bandits coach Ryan Papaioannou described it as his favorite goal from one of the best players he’s ever coached — the kind of highlight-reel play that lives up to expectations on YouTube.
