Still can’t get over the execution of the move by Stetcher in the QF OT.
The individual move isn’t new, pulled of in the NHL regularly and my beer league. But it’s usually more an unnecessary move and/or, doesn’t lead to much after the move.

In this case, it was pulled of perfectly, and the whole sequence played out because the move was executed to perfection; the fake from the shot froze the top guy, made the one defender fall to block it... and the momentum Stetcher had from putting it in his feet basically also allowed him to go wide and past the the down low defender who was a bit frozen from the fake shot...and the first defender who fell down for the fake got up and was watching the puck with Stetcher suddenly going wide, and drifted over there to leave Mangipane open on the far side. Stetcher continued the move after the initial fake with another shoulder fake and backhand pass across the crease.

All around a fantastic goal.
