Name The Move.

It's no knuckle puck. It's not the triple deke. It's not last year's "Shake and Bake!" It's not even the nine of Spades.

And while we're partial to The Russian Baffler, we feel like T.J. Oshie's new shootout move needs a name. And what better way to kill off a Friday than to wate time on making up screwball nicknames, right?

Exhibit A:

What's your suggestion?

the “I so own you I’m not even going to deke” move

Nice.

It is remarkably un-move-y.

THE FROSTED TIP!!!

Pujols takes out "I" in BIG and "A" in MAC, previously considered to be an unyielding, consonant threat

Rec'd

That gets my vote!

I know it's time for hockey because I've started singing "Don't Stop Believing" with the words "...born and raised in FUCK DETRIOT!!!"

Shark Bait?

Russian Roulette?

The Five Hole Flabbergaster?
I’ll stop now. DESTROYER already won with “the Frosted Tip.”

The Bigger Boat?

As in we needed one? OK, really, I’ll stop now.

Rape of the Russian

I really like the frosted tip though

Raggedy Andy Wristpound.

One day, David Backes and Albert Pujols will combine forces to become the most awesome piece of violent force known to man.

The offshore driller

Or:
Drill, baby, Drill.

Sometimes, I wonder why hockey came south of St. Louis, and then I realize, I'm south of St. Louis. Coincidence, I think not.

For Happy Meal’s undressing of Nabby, the “Shit & Fall Back In It” move.

Some days its just not worth chewing through the restraints

How about the Nabby?

The Nabby is something that grips you by the balls, gives credit to a goalie so good he couldn’t react, and will remind the Sharks that they suck fish balls every time they see it on a highlight reel from now on.

Basketball Practice

In honor of the question Andy Murray asks TJ every time he’s caught wearing his backwards hat: “What time is Basketball practice today?”

Fuck and Detroit go together like Peanut Butter and Jelly. Only Peanut Butter and Jelly are good and Detroit is the very proof that God, Allah, and Buddha all have a sense of humor, after all. Good joke, guys.
