I think Luc Robitaille had one where if you shot it hard from the half boards the goalie would kind of turn and redirect the puck in with his chest.

My bread and butter was the blind pass from Fleury to Nieuwendyk in the slot for a one-timer.

I'm pretty sure that worked on more than just Vernon. I only ever played with the Flames and I remember doing that trick all the time.
