The Best NHL Goals of October 2010: So Far, So Good, So What!?

The season is young but the great goals are coming fast.  From coast to coast, the top goals are amazing and the players scoring them are starting to make names for themselves or continue their legacies.  The NHL is having a flurry of young starts taking the reins and the aging veterans are still doing their thing as well.

If you have Center Ice, this year has been great so far with so many amazing goals, saves and hits and I am proud to put together my favorite goals of the season so far.

From record breaking goals to first NHL goals, the league should be proud of the quality of the product they are putting out.

Enjoy the top goals so far!
