One lovely facial

 And now the goal of the Stanley Cup playoffs so far, which might be the goal of the year when it's all said and done because it was a perfect deflection imperfectly achieved.

Also a whale of an owie, if in this case a useful one.

"The hell are you talking about, Mr. Blob?" you're saying now.

I'm talking about Zach Hyman of the Edmonton Oilers, who scored a goal last night in the Oilers 6-3 win over the Los Angeles Kings.

Scored a goal ... with his face.

I mean, check this out. Is that sticking your nose in there, or what?

And here the Blob imagines this exchange between Kings goalie Pheonix Copley and Oilers D-man Evan Bouchard, who took the shot that caromed neatly into the goal off Hyman's mug ...

"Wait, you mean that COUNTS?" 

"Sure it does! Planned it all the way, dude." 

"Yeah, but you didn't call bank!" 

"Did so!" 

"Did not!"

At which point, of course, a dazed Hyman skates past.

"Why does my face hurt?"
