This one takes the cake for one of the most absurd comparisons in NHL history.
On Wednesday night, the Toronto Maple Leafs defeated the New York Rangers 3-2 thanks to a highlight reel overtime winner from Mitch Marner. (see below):

However, one writer for Leafs Nation took it a little too far, comparing the goal to Bobby Orr's iconic Stanley Cup-winner. He posted the two goals with the following caption:
