Gerbe's wild penalty shot
In today's sports section, I provided an update of three top Sabres prospects in the college ranks: South Buffalo native Tim Kennedy (Michigan State), Boston College center Nathan Gerbe and Denver defenseman Chris Butler.
Gerbe is second in the nation in scoring and is one of those mighty mites who can electrify a game with his slick skating and moves. Check out this penalty shot goal Gerbe scored Saturday in the Hockey East playoffs against Providence. Pretty close to being an illegal move (you're not supposed to be able to stop dead on a penalty shot), but pretty spectacular nonetheless. Love the Joe Cool reaction too.
