Jarome Iginla scores a goal through the tiniest possible window

It’s literally a puck sized hole.

James Guillory-USA TODAY Sports

Jarome Iginla must be a wizard, or has extreme accuracy with the puck, or is just incredibly lucky. Maybe a combination of all three were in play on the Colorado Avalanche's opening goal mere moments into their game against the Philadelphia Flyers.

Fifty seven seconds into their contest against the Flyers, Iginla let off a seemingly harmless shot on Philadelphia netminder Michal Neuvirth from the bottom of the righthand circle. Neuvirth looked to have the pipe sealed tight, but the puck somehow found its way through the leg of the goaltender and into the back of the net, just trickling over the pads, his skate, and over the line.

Here’s the alternate view, which shows just how small the window was for Iginla to shoot at.

Borrowing the words of one Han Solo: great shot Iginla, that was one in a million.
