I've watched a lot of hockey - I was even the (reluctant) manager of a collegiate hockey team in the 1960s - but I have never seen one as bizarre as this. Watch beyond the initial action for the replays... Unreal.
Reposted from 2013 to add this image from a 2016 playoff game between Detroit and Tampa Bay -
- which reminds me of why I stopped watching professional hockey.
Sabre's needed that one, lol
ReplyDeleteIf the goalie had known the puck was in his pants, he would not have retreated into the goal. If I were on the goalie's team, I would protest the daylights out of calling it a goal.
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid that "I didn't mean to do that" isn't a sanctioned reason for disallowing a goal in the NHL.
