It was a slapshot to end all slapshots.
Kazakhstan's Roman Savchenko scored an unlikely goal from his own end of the ice Saturday.
With his team killing a penalty, the 27-year-old hammered the puck from over 100 feet away of the opposing goal, catching the Switzerland netminder - Colorado Avalanche's Reto Berra - by surprise.
The goal would knot things up at 1-1 as Kazakhstan would go on to defeat Switzerland 2-1 in a shooutout.
