TJ Oshie is sometimes so good it’s gross, and during a second period goal by Nicklas Backstrom he created, it got absolutely disgusting.

Like he was toying with a mites-on-ice team, Oshie dangled through three different players on the Sabres before setting up Nicky.

Oshie:

  • tapped the puck to the outside of Rasmus Dahlin and skated through his bodycheck
  • deked around Colin Miller
  • and deked around Taylor Hall, putting a backhanded shot on net

Backstrom found the rebound at his feet and took care of the rest.

As I said: gross.

Backstrom is now tied with Alex Ovechkin for the team lead in goals (11).
