Here is a comprehensive list of Dallas Stars playmaker, Alexander Radulov’s ten best net-rippers throughout the 2016-17 regular season.

Alexander Radulov had a great first year with the Dallas Stars, scoring 27 goals. If his first season is any indication he may be a focal point of this offense for years to come. While it was hard to pick out 10 of the best goals Radulov throughout the year, there are a few that stood out. Here is a top ten list of my favorite goals he scored from this past season.

  1. OT game-winner in Vancouver

Radulov ended the game just a few minutes into overtime against the Canucks. He came in the offensive zone from the Stars’ own end and also threw in a sword holster celebration as well.

2. Radu’s OT GWG vs. Philly

Radulov scored another game-winner in OT and only needed 40 seconds to do so. He was fed a beautiful pass from Tyler Seguin, and made no mistake on burying the puck past Petr Mrazek.

3. His go-ahead tally vs. St. Louis

With only 2 minutes left in the game, Radulov ripped a shot on the power play and got it past Jake Allen to put the Stars up 3-2.

4. Alex’s power-play snipe in Calgary

He held up and fired it past goalie Mike Smith to make the score 2-1. His 3rd goal of the season was set up beautifully on a slap-pass from Devin Shore.

5. Go-ahead laser against Washington

With just four minutes left in the game, Radulov came right down the center of the ice and let one fly. The goal made the score 3-2, in favor of Dallas. To add assault to injury, the Russian threw in a Laine stick twirl and a sword holster combination as a celebration.

6. Alex rips a one-timer from the face-off circle in Edmonton

His second goal of the season came off of this laser of a slap shot from the dot. A good cross-crease pass from Seguin set him up perfectly, and Radulov made no mistake, going top shelf.

7. Radulov goes 5-hole on Schneider

In New Jersey, Alex sped in from the wing past Will Butcher, cut to the net, and dished home a shot through the 5-hole of Cory Schneider.

8. One-timer from down in deep against the Hawks

Alex let a shot go from the red line, and got one to go against goalie Anton Forsberg. With assists from Seguin and Benn, Radulov potted yet another PPG.

9. He falls, still manages to find a way in the shootout at MSG

In the shootout, Alexander fell on his way to the net. Although he took heat from the crowd, he was still able to open up Ondrej Pavelec and fire it into the back of the net.

10. The Russian’s filthy backhander after the face-off against Winnipeg

Radulov pick-pocketed the Winnipeg defense right in front of the net and lifted a gorgeous backhand shot past Connor Hellebuyck.

The Dallas Stars will be in good hands as long as Radulov keeps getting chances like these.
