"That don't impress me much" - Shania Twain
That's the tune ex-NHL forward Jason Williams was singing Sunday morning after Nikita Kucherov of the Tampa Bay Lightning wowed the hockey world with a neat fakeout move on Robin Lehner of the Buffalo Sabres the night before.
Turns out Williams pulled off a similar move during his stint with the Columbus Blue Jackets during the 2008-09 season.
That #kucherov move last night looked a little familiar... https://t.co/DbghdjrXMC. Nice to see someone do it again in the #NHL

Poor Justin Pogge.
The commentators appear to believe it was a whiff, but Williams - who appeared in 455 NHL games as an undrafted free agent - begs to differ.
Here's another look at Kucherov's goal as a point of comparison.
It's even more ridiculous when you watch it a second time. pic.twitter.com/QpsehbogIE

Williams has scored four goals and added seven assists in nine games for the EIHL's Nottingham Panthers this season.
