Red Wings player performs perfect takeout slide into Canadiens goalie

Riley Sheahan has a future as a pinch-runner.

The NLDS must have been a staple in the Detroit Red Wings locker room over the last two weeks because one of their players executed a takeout slide on Saturday that would've made Chase Utley proud.

Montreal Canadiens goalie Carey Price decided to play the puck behind his own net in the first period even though Red Wings forward Riley Sheahan was in pursuit. Price must have expected Sheahan to do the normal thing: skate in, hold up and try to force the goalie into a turnover.

Nope. Sheahan just dropped, aimed and took the damn guy out.

Points for creativity!
