Deslauriers on post-goal skills: 'You've got to celebrate like it's your last one'
Timothy T. Ludwig-USA TODAY Sports
Don't take anything for granted. That's Nicolas Deslauriers' good advice.
The Buffalo Sabres forward scored his sixth goal of the season Friday, dropping to his knees in celebration, impressing his head coach, writes The Buffalo News' John Vogl.
Told Dan Bylsma was dazzled, Deslauriers kept it rather real.
"For me you've got to celebrate like it's your last one," he said. "You never know. I kind of lose control."
Scoring a goal in the NHL - there's probably little like it.
Deslauriers, a third-round pick in 2009, has scored 12 times in 160 career games - around once every 13 games.
