The photo above (which I've used before) shows Evgeni Malkin in mid-flight just before scoring against Kazakhstan during the IIHF World Championships in Latvia. Malkin stole the puck at center ice, then slid his way past goalie Roman Medvedev before being tripped up moments before he sent the puck into the net.
Below is a full-length video of that goal (double-click the arrow, slowly, to start the video). The video clip is 1:21 long, but the last 15 seconds of the video is when you'll find the best slow-motion replay angle of the aeronautics being pulled off by Malkin.
There's also another great Malkin highlight video on YouTube, which Off-Wing Opinion has linked to, that shows almost 5 minutes of pretty much nothing but fantastic goals, one right after another-- many of them from the Russian Super League. I think there's a clip of a fight somewhere towards the end, also. If you haven't seen the video yet, it's worth checking out.
