Even if he was trying to pass it high, it was still a good play. Effortless makes it sound like he was being lazy. Even if the second play was not a shot, it still would have been a good play, had the pass gotten through. It may have been lucky that it went in, but it was the second effort that impressed me.

I only said that because of this quote from Lang himself from the News (via A2Y):

“It seems in the past I’ve had weird luck against him (Vokoun),” said Lang, whose goal was No. 199 of his career. “It was kind of a fluke shot. I tried to pass it high and instead it went in.”

Looks like he tried to pass it twice.

Matt, I wouldn’t say the Lang goal was “effortless and lucky.” Personally, I think it was a nice heads-up play from Lang. He tried to pass the puck, and it bounced off a leg and came back in his direction. He had the sense of mind to grab it and throw it on net before Vokoun really knew what was going on. He displayed quick thinking and did not give up on a broken play.
