I have never seen a penalty shot like this

Tonight as the Ottawa Senators hosted the Carolina Hurricanes we saw a penalty shot unlike any other I've seen before. Brady Tkachuk up against Pyotr Kochetkov. If these guys have anything in common, its that they're both a bit unhinged so what could possibly go wrong? Kochetkov made a diving poke check on the penalty shot that sent Tkachuk flying into the boards and he was NOT happy. The two squared up but refs got in the way and in the end, a penalty shot resulted in a 10 minute misconduct for Brady in just a wild sequence! I cover it all in todays NHL hockey video!

Kochetkov has thrown a poke check in almost every game he's played this season. He's very aggressive, doesn't just sit back in net, and frankly it suits the Hurricanes well. He doesn't have the best save pct this year, but he's denying shots before they're taken.

[@exturkconner]

@@rhys.ladouceur4107 It's a highly undervalued aspect of goal tending. A goalies job isn't to make saves. It's to prevent goals. If you can do that by blocking a cross crease pass, or poke checking, or angling a guy to a point where he has nothing to shoot at and just holds onto the puck those situations are just as good as saves.

[@lawrencemcstephens308]

A little harsh of a declamation. From what I've seen of both Tkachuks, they definitely have their dad's grit and short fuse. However, Matthew is by far a more complete player overall, whereas, Brady is a hothead who should not have the C on his jersey for his continued tantrums and poor sportsmanship. Being fiery and playing with passion is one thing, but his conduct just reflects poorly on his teammates, and he doesn't represent them well. If Brady cut that routine out, and funneled that energy into playing better hockey, Ottawa might actually be in contention this season.

I've said many times if goalies started being more aggressive w/the poke check players wouldn't know what to do. Wedgewood did it a few nights ago on Kustnesov* in a shoot out, it was a full poke check but he did poke at him as he got in close and the dude shot wide. Hopefully coaches start picking up on this and training goalies. All the fancy moves these players are making they have to look down at the puck to keep track of it and it's the perfect time to be aggressive.

[@richardprescott5939]

Do it enough and these players will make you look foolish. Kutznetsov comes down real slow so if you time it right, he can't do anything. Goalies saw that numerous times and adjusted.

[@brianlb78]

@@richardprescott5939 Well it's not like back in the 80s they did it all the time but a player puts his head down then yea you do it, it also keeps the players guessing because now they know a goalie isn't going to challenge them. That is why Kutznetsov was so successful he was able to get in very close w/goalies basically just backing up too far and he had a lot of shoot at from just a few feet out. You look at that play and you see Wedgewood not back in as much as nearly all goalie does and he holds his ground and then pounces. Could of probably done it a little earlier if he did a full poke check but I get they don't really teach that so it's going to take some time for goalies to learn it and use it when needed not always.

[@btgkg9639]

[@deltagolavista1]

A goalie isn’t allowed to intentionally drop his stick in the goal crease. It is part of the interference rule. (Please do not argue the stick wasn’t dropped in the crease, but right out of it. A ref can’t have that type of eye sight. It was close enough). Allegedly, Koch does this often, and was probably warned by the refs much like Murray was warned last year about knocking the net off. That’s why it was a penalty. ‘Throwing the stick’ was just the Refs way of clarifying what the interference was.

Johnny Bower poke check awesome move

[@basilmcdonnell9807]

Pretty clear that the poke was for the skates, not the puck. The puck was eight feet the other way. He looks at the skates, ignores the puck, and goes right after the skate. Nothing a goalie at this level does with his stick is an accident, including "accidently dropping" his stick across the mouth of the goal.

[@markzoned]

Finally, someone who gets it. I'm all for goalie poke checks, but neither of his two penalties were clean plays. As someone mentioned already dropping your goalie stick in front of the net is the same idea as leaving it laying across the crease when pulling the goalie. Also, the point of a penalty shot is that the player was interfered with and did not get a fair shot at the net. Which is pretty much what happened on the penalty shot. The goaltender may have been intending to poke check him but it was horribly timed and he basically just ended up sliding at his feet.

[@Kevin-qg2vs]

You can tell Kochetkov grew up playing Chel as a goalie 😂😂

[@ZZSmithReal]

The poke check isn't the issue. The issue is whether you can aim for a player's skate - not the puck. Competition committee might have to address.

[@Calers-gu1ib]

I do remember goalies doing that a lot in the 70s and 80s. Skaters who could handle the puck with their head up just went around them. Something to practice there Tkachuk.
