Linus Omark attempts ridiculous trick shot to troll KHL rivals

OK, here’s the situation. Jokerit was playing Minsk in the KHL's Gagarin Cup playoffs. They were winning 6-0. They were on a power play, in the third period.

So the puck is passed to Linus Omark behind the Minsk net. Omark, who never met a trick shot he didn’t take, decided to place the puck on his stick blade. One assumed he was going for a lacrosse-style wrap-around, which would have been insult to injury for Minsk.

Nope! Instead, he decided to go with an even bigger insult to injury.

Omark tried to bank the puck off the back of goalie Dmitry Milchakov. He failed, thanks in part to a last-second stick check from Oleg Goroshko, who then gave Omark a shove after the whistle. And yes, that was a Lukas Krajicek sighting as he covered the puck on top of the net.

Seriously, dudes: The man is playing with a jester on his jersey. YOU DIDN’T EXPECT THIS?

Jokerit won the game, 7-1, as Omark had two assists.
