Stanley Cup Finals 2011 Video: Henrik Sedin's Amazing Backhand Goal

Donald WoodJun 14, 2011

The Stanley Cup Finals are all tied at three games apiece and both the Vancouver Canucks and the Boston Bruins want to bring the trophy to their city.

Last night, the Bruins blew the doors off the Canucks in a 5-2 victory in Game 6 of the finals, and now the series shifts back to Vancouver for Game 7.

With the loss, Vancouver and Boston have lost all road games during this series, and Canucks goaltender Roberto Luongo has let in 15 goals in three games at Boston's TD Garden.

One highlight during the Game 6 loss for Vancouver was the amazing backhanded goal by Henrik Sedin to get his team on the board.

At the time, the score was 4-0 Bruins and the Canucks were just trying to stop the bleeding.

Vancouver’s captain Henrik Sedin entered the offensive zone and forced three Bruins back on their heels and into goalie Tim Thomas.

As a left-handed shot, Sedin brought the puck from the left circle across the ice and backhanded it over the pile of bodies in front of the net.

Sedin is one of the greatest finesse scorers in the league, and when the Bruins make a mistake like giving Sedin that much of an open shot, he will capitalize on it almost every time.

There wasn’t much to celebrate for Vancouver in Game 6, but the idea of the Sedin twins going off for big offensive numbers in Game 7 is the best thing they could dream of. That and Roberto Luongo playing well.
