Nikita Gusev scores crazy trick shootout goal in KHL skills competition image

Nikita Gusev is a professional hockey player in the KHL. Perhaps he should take his talents on the ice and match them against some figure skaters?

Seems to be the most logical choice after seeing this insane trick shot he put into the net during the league's skills competition.

As Gusev approached the net, he stuck the puck between his legs. He then spun to his right while scooping the puck up with his stick. As he twirled around, he used his momentum to fire a shot right past goalie Stanislav Galimov, who had no chance of stopping it.

It was an incredibly beautiful shot. I can't wait for the short program version of it at PyeongChang in 2018.
