Don't know them, but it's good to see they are wearing appropriate safety gear (goalie pads). Let me know if you re-post it was worth a laugh

Canucks had some class there, but it was a disastrous season. Gotta do some house cleaning this off-season. Good luck to your Sharks vs the Kings, that should be a good series.

I apparently don't have an appreciation for the sport, all I saw was a ball being kicked over the goalie's head into the net. I'm not sure what I expected, but it looked fairly uneventful to me.

*awaits all the fans to jump on me and beat me with their sports rhetoric.

Check that goalie's reaction a couple more times and you'll have the answer to that question

You're right. I've seen other goalies (Dominic Hasek comes to mind) fall on a puck in the goal and scootch themselves back out of the net so when they get up it magically appears on the non-goal side of the line.

In case anyone is wondering why they are making a semi-big deal about whether or not you can see the puck once it is across the line, I remember several years ago there was a play where a goalie covered up the puck with his glove (which should result in a whistle, but in this case didn't immediately) and in the split second afterwards had 90% of his glove, including the portion where the puck had been visible a split second before, pushed across the goal line.

The play went under review, and I believe Darren Pang (a former goalie) was confident that it would be ruled no goal because even though it was next to 100% obvious that the puck had crossed the goal line, you couldn't physically see it. The review came back and he had been correct, and he ventured further that even in a hypothetical situation where the puck slipped under a goalie's leg or something (out of sight of any camera) and then the goalie's entire body slid into the net across the line, it would be ruled no goal if the puck was obscured from vision until the play was whistled dead.

I thought it was interesting that the laws of physics can assert that the puck MUST be in there, but according to the rules it won't count unless you can directly SEE it across the line.

At least, that is how I remember the discussion going. Anyone care to confirm or set me straight on any details I may have screwed up?

Over the goalie's right shoulder, not between the legs.

Happens more often than you know in football, takes certain kind to skip this kind of chance (could've made a goal but both sides would dislike him for that). But it's unwritten rule, opponent gets hurt, you kick the ball over the closest sideline. No rule forces you to do so. If the opponent is really hurt, the ref can stop the game to let medics come in to the field, the play then continues from that place after the player is carried off the field.. If that happens and the offending team has the ball and freekick, it's also customary to just kick the ball long to opponent goalie. I've seen it happen where both teams are trying to give the ball to the opponent, both sides think it's fair if the other one starts..

This kind of gentlemen behavior is one the biggest reasons i like the football,, something that all sports that are big in the USA don't have (basketball, "football" aka handball, hockey...) Baseball might be the only one that has similar attitude but then again, that's not really a contact sport.. There are exceptions, occasions where even in the bloodiest sports fair play happens, similar to this video but in football this happens in every game (in not so tempting situation..)

Perhaps, but this particular "bad goalie" played a few games for the Caps a few years back, and has a .936 save percentage and 1.75 GAA in the KHL this year (presumably playing against a fair number of pretty high-caliber NHL refugees), hence his playing in the all-star game there.

I doubt anyone would try that sort of move in an actual, competitive game situation, but then again I've seen some pretty wild things in the new NHL shootouts.

This is what you get with bad goalies...

It takes a very special kind of person to be a goalie in hurling. Earlier today I listened to the Monty Python coverage of the men's Being Eaten By A Crocodile event. I think both require the same qualities of extreme speed, skill, bravery, and suicidal tendencies.

I had forgotten about Margaret! Thanks for the reminder and the promote.

Kick ass writer. Kick ass goalie.

The Boston Bruins goalie. The Bruins met with Obama that day so he could congratulate them on winning the Stanley Cup, but Thomas refused to go citing 'political differences' with the president. Now we know how he spent his time.

Who is that? >> ^Drachen_Jager:
It was probably Tim Thomas on his day off.
