I have NEVER seen this in an NHL game

It’s been a tough year for Joonas Korpisalo and the Ottawa Senators as a whole. They had given up a goal on the first or 2nd shot of the game 20 times this season and had done it in their last 3 games in a row and after a 4 3 loss to New Jersey Saturday, they were officially eliminated from the playoffs coming into last nights matchup against the Washington Capitals. While they ALMOST gave up a goal on the first shot again, Chychrun was able to block an open net to avoid it. However, while they didn't scored on with the first shot, they did, once again get scored on with the Capitals 2nd shot. But like a sign from the Hockey Gods, during play suddenly the Sun blinded Korpisalo! This, at an indoor hockey game. It was something I have never personally seen in an NHL game and the odds of it happening the day before a Solar Eclipse are pretty insane. As for the game, it was a good one that saw the Senators come back to push it to overtime. I cover it all in todays NHL hockey video!

The Solar Eclipse came early!

[@kohl4life]

came early. I don't think the sun and moon care about time. define early to them edit... you win after watching

[@ecxidk771]

To cloudy to see the eclipse for me

Strange how it's both the capital cities of Canada and U.S.

Except a solar eclipse means no sun. Good try though.

[@kevinstull8552]

Too bad the arena dj couldn't play the song Blinded By the Light during the stoppage of play. That trolling would have been epic 😂.

[@tytn9978]

or even, "I Saw the Light" Or "Come on and Light my" Goalie!

[@byaialele5916]

Actually the Arena DJ played "Enter Sandman" as Sanderson was on the ice to start OT..... and he won the game lol

[@gregorytbrooks]

I used to have season tickets to the old Columbus Chill of the ECHL. When a Wheeling Nailer player, who took the ice after a multi-game suspension for an alcohol issue, the rink's sound guy played AC/DC's "Have a Drink On Me" to mark his first shift. They also played No Doubt's "I'm Just a Girl" when an opponent laid on the ice injured. Couldn't get away with that these days...

[@xxxxST3xxxx]

The sun was assessed a 2 minute minor to be served behind the moon.

[@dalehalliday3578]

I remember a game from Buffalo in April or May way back, maybe 30 years ago, where there was extensive fog in the arena. They had to stop the game and get all the players on the ice skating around to stir up the air and clear the fog.

[@osql8]

1975 Stanley Cup (Philadelphia Flyers vs. Buffalo Sabres, game #3)

[@cjm8160]

@@osql8thank you for getting us the details!

[@moosewhizzerdave2066]

The Fog Game! Game 3 of the 74-75 finals, Philly visiting Buffalo, Buffalo down 2 games to none. There was a bat flying around the arena, and Jim Lorentz smacked it out of the air with his stick, killing it. Rick MacLeish picked it up with his stick and it was disposed of. Then the fog descended. The refs had the two teams skating in circles on their halves of the ice to try to break it up a bit, but it didn't work and the game went on. Sabres were down a goal after 1. Gary Desjardins was the Sabres goalie, and he asked to be pulled because he just wasn't feeling it, so Roger Crozier took over. After two, Buffalo was still down a goal, but tied it up in the third and send the fog game into OT. Play had to be stopped 7 times for the fog during the OT, but late in the first OT, the French Connection got the job done. Martin along the boards, passed to Perreault who took it into the Flyer zone, passed it off to Robert in the far right corner. He took a wrister from a severe angle that got behind Bernie Parent. Game over. One of the most exciting games ever in Buffalo.

[@L0gravity]

This also reminds me of the time a player swatted a bat out the air with his stick

[@tytn9978]

In all the years that I watched Hockey Night in Canada, I've never seen a game halted because of interference from the sun coming through a window and blinding a goal-tender. I guess the positive from this is that it will feature on many a high-"light" video!

[@LocalCretin]

Blinded by the light Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night

[@estellegrignon]

To be fair, Korpi's golden mask looks even better with the light reflecting directly on it ✨️

[@Cat-worldwide]

Quite true! And it works both ways, "Please stop play, I'm being unfairly blinded", as well as, "Please stop play and admire me as I glow in the sunlight".

[@jaysonharris5088]

The Lord was calling Korpisalo home, but the goalie denies the request by winning the outcome of the game. Korpisalo was like... No, it is not my time yet I have the game through the bitter end. 😂

[@Rockhound6165]

I guess Capital One Arena doesn't play by hockey rules when it comes to fans. That rule is you're not going to your seat until there's a stoppage in play.

[@johky]

There’s no rule stopping you from LEAVING your seat during play though…

[@Rockhound6165]

@@johky you can leave your seat but you can't come back until play stops.

[@johky]

@@Rockhound6165 I’m aware….? what I was explaining is that someone could have left their seat and opened the curtain on their way out.

[@miikaIS]

I remember this happening few times here in Finland, at the old arena in Tampere, of the top league teams of Ilves and Tappara. It was in the 90's and the goalie waving to the officials was young Vesa Toskala in one game.

[@NadaNada-bg8ij]

As the cricket World Cup is coming to the states this year and I know how excited you must all be for our weird baseball 😂 we had an ongoing issue at Lancashire cricket club where the sun would stop play! There was a B&Q (Home depot) next to the ground and the sun would reflect off the metal roof! Never experienced it causing issues to an indoor game of any sport however.

[@paulrr5711]

South African here (and Avs fan since they moved from Quebec), I'm super excited for the Cricket World Cup! Only thing is that some of the games are happening by me in Texas and I'm afraid the heat here going to be a huge surprise for the players. I asked a local if they wanted to go with me to experience cricket and his response was: "Nope. It's going to be way too hot."😂

[@mitchhak2]

Props to that usher in Washington that knew the sun was in line with Korpisalo and opened the curtain mid-game.

[@OviFor895]

Last night's game I was hoping Ovi would score. He's picked up the scoring recently though!

[@bigboyflubbins]

Were you hoping Ovi would score?

[@dceufan]

1:05 - Korpisalo had his moment in the sun. 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Mommayam]

They had sun problems like that happen at Reunion Arena back in the old days in Dallas. During the playoffs they had to put up curtains and bring in add’l HVAC to keep the place cold enough that the ice wouldn’t start to melt. Ahh, the good old days…

[@1995hoo]

We have Caps season tickets at that end of the arena. The afternoon sun can be a serious problem at certain times of year if they don’t keep the curtains between the stands and the concourse closed. Given the difficulty of preventing people from coming and going, you’d think they could install some relatively small shades on the concourse windows to prevent the sun from shining in the problem locations. Maybe use some of the $515 million the city is putting for arena upgrades!

[@jenngoldberg8613]

Could you make a vid on the central, since it’s a tight division (Avs fan) also I love the vids so plz keep making them

[@jimmyv1998]

That's been going on for years up there. ATL hockey fan here, and I remember the Thrashers being up there and having a 20 minute delay to the start for the same reason. Not sure why they can't get a curtain up there.

[@seen48]

Never seen that before and I’ve been watching hockey for over 40 years.

[@suesskind]

The NHL should seriously pay you! Your videos are so fun and really make me love the game even more as a new fan

[@stringlarson1247]

It reminds me of a couple of places in Peru where the Incas carved things in the mountains. On one day of the year, the sun would shine through a hole and illuminate another carving several miles away. I believe this was due to their lack of ice hockey.

[@christopherhoshaw743]

This happened to the Flyers in the late 60’s at the old Soectrum. It was an afternoon game, and the Flyer goalie lost the puck in the light coming in from the outside just like at the Capitals/Ottawa game. The goal cost the flyers the playoffs that year. Who knows, if it would not have happened, maybe the Flyers make the playoffs that year and the Broad Street bullies never happened. You never know.

Lol the same thing happened in the playoffs in dallas back in the late 90s or early 2000s. The sun was blinding players and melting the ice. Players were tripping on the ice. They had to put up curtains on the doors and bring out the zamboni.
