It was obvious when watching on television that the crowd gathered in Dallas for Thursday's Stars-Flames game was a little sparce, with large sections of empty seats scattered throughout the lower bowl for a game between two teams still fighting for one of the final playoff spots in the Western Conference.

After a pretty impressive display of behind-the-back stickhandling in the offensive zone, Ribeiro loaded up and blasted a slap shot past goaltender Miikka Kiprusoff for his 12th goal of the season.

Have a look, and be sure to pay attention to the replay at the 19-second mark for the must-see part of the goal:
