Embarrassing a goalie is a tough, tough task. Players used to be able to perform a spin-o-rama and make a goaltender look silly. Now you have to deke someone out of their skates for it to happen. Anton Glinkin did just that to end a hockey game. It takes a lot of courage to attempt what he did with the game on the line.
Beautiful shootout goal from Anton Glinkin in the KHL. Can’t get the goalie to bite much harder than that. pic.twitter.com/ZurV6jl6gT

Ak Bars Kazan faced off against Vityaz Podolsk and the result you see in front of you is Glinkin posterizing a goalie. Any time you can get a netminder to involuntarily do the splits, you’ve got a damn good shoot out move. Glinkin won’t forget this one for a very long time.
