Buffalo Sabres star Miro Satan got off to a slow start in 2002. When, on January 12th, he finally scored his first goal in two weeks, he did a barrel roll on the ice.

Why? "I wanted to make sure," he later explained, "that the monkey on my back was dead!"

[Montreal Canadiens forward Marius Czerkawski once celebrated a goal by doing a back flip (on his skates).]
