VIDEO: Canucks' Burrows tips puck past red-hot Reimer

Tom Szczerbowski-USA TODAY Sports

Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender James Reimer is playing some of his best hockey, but Vancouver Canucks forward Alex Burrows figured out how to beat him: a deflection.

One of the more underrated skills in the NHL is standing in front of a 90-mph slapshot and getting a piece of your stick on it. Burrows did it to perfection, tipping the puck through Reimer and, as CBC's Craig Simpson put it, "right into your living room."

The goal was Burrows' fourth of the season.
