NHL Plays Of The Week: SAVE OF THE YEAR!? | Steve's Hat-Picks

[@CammieBuckeye]

Crosby has 502 goals, 873 assists for 1375 points in 1082 games. Ovechkin has 762 goals, 621 assists for 1383 points in 1249 games. As of today, Sid is only 8 points behind Ovi with 167 fewer games played. People tend to forget somehow that Sid missed the equivalent of like 2 NHL seasons with injuries. Ovi might be the better goal scorer, but Sid is the better overall player.

[@ehrobin3355]

The only hat-picks I would have added are at least a mention of Berube and Hammond getting their first NHL wins in nearly 4 and 6 years respectively on the same day.

[@cmpalmer]

I'd also have added Ottenger completely winning one on his own against the Avs. That game was absurd.

[@sadface6635]

Hammond played really well too

[@slipperynodd578]

I am so happy that Caufield is doing well. I honestly didn’t care how we did this season but I just wanted the rookies to do well.

[@juicypierogi4919]

@Kani Selfa nobody cares or asked

[@sadface6635]

Ducharme was so stupid in the way that team was coached. He broke up his best line from the playoffs last year. Why?

[@liminal79]

Sid and numbers... 500 goals. 50 against Phili. 1 out of every 10 goals has been against the Flyers.

[@hudsonlucier7646]

That monologue about sid at the end gave me goosebumps every statement in it was the truth people don't give him enough credit plus he is still the face of the NHL

[@jnsl1982]

A true legend. Just watch any puck protection compilation with Crosby on youtube to see this mans greatness. And oh yeah, he also scored 500 goals but that's not even the point.

[@tbzevankman418]

He isn't the face of the NHL anymore, but he's still extremely good.

[@goose5462]

Must of missed the last 3 playoffs series where Sid managed 6 points in 14 games.... -6 rating. There has been a significant decline is his play. He is still good, but no longer a top 20 in the league, since he isn't top 20 in ANY stat. ....incoming crosby fanatics.

[@SoadfanWoW]

As a Canes fan; That Carlsen save was equally frustrating as it was really impressive. Hats off to him, he made an amazing play and honestly I think his stick had more to do with the second attempt being unsuccessful than the crossbar did. I hate losing goals but that was so fun to watch.

[@cptnmatty]

Carlsson actually gets the 2nd mid air shot too with the stick windmill. Overhead shot shows it doesn't come off crossbar. 2 saves of the year in a row! Unreal!!

[@RicoBurghFan]

Thanks for your tribute to Sid. I've seen nearly every game he's played and am still amazed by the things he does. He's not only one of the best players of his generation, he's one of the greatest ever. A true pleasure for having been able to watch him all these years and he still has much more in the tank. Your reaction was a hat pick. Go Leafs! Wait I say to myself, you're a Pens fan, don't lose your head! 😳

[@zakarypembleton9666]

The thought of goalies bungee corded to the back of the net made me laugh way harder than it should have

[@slipperynodd578]

I just imagine the net coming off the pegs and chasing the goalie

[@1994hondacivic-i8u]

Local Florida net comes of the pegs and chases Sergei bobrovsky..

[@doggosplosion]

Reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Apu tied Milhouse to the net, and yelled at Milhouse to blow on the puck harder.

[@felixlavigne01]

It gives off Goldberg vibes.

[@aidandavies5982]

Jared Spurgeon also had a fantastic “defender save” last week against the florida panthers

[@Jamesderman]

Elias Lindholm should’ve received two points for his goal when he banked the puck off the glass in the neutral zone to himself and then scored the goal

[@shalinghate]

What’s even more nuts about the Carlsson save is that the second attempt didn’t go off the crossbar and he saved it. You can see it from the top view.

[@nickfiacco1179]

This was great, tons of highlights, good storyline. Appreciate the Caufield video compilation allowing us Habs fans to feel a little better about this season

[@PrivatelyHanging]

What's the Habs last 10 against Detroit look like? 😏

[@forktrus]

"Your the best around... Jack Campbell is practically Gretzky" made me spit Captain Crunch out all over the place. It is now my ringtone.

[@TommyBoy8771]

“The Calgary Flames who are a WAGONNN, going against the Seattle Kraken who are… an expansion team” 🤣🤣🤣

[@johnlequire4595]

Hey, it’s the two year anniversary of me watching Steve Dangle!!!!! Yeah, I am a Canes fan…. But because of Steve I am a Leafs fan now too!!!!!!

[@caniacrl]

Steve, Carolina set a record against Pittsburgh when they scored 2 goals in the first 10 seconds of consecutive periods

[@six9755]

I’m pretty surprised you didn’t include the Markstrom paddle save!!! Steve’s paddle save emporium!

[@1979Beyond]

OMG the "all your pucks are belong to him" line was such a great reference. hahhahhah so much nestalgia

[@AvenueofSweden]

Dont forget that Eetu Loustarinen did a similar save as Carlsson for the Panthers earlier in the season as well. Not as insane, but still a stick on the goalline.

[@mattdude]

How about Ekblad almost scoring the OT goal against Carolina before TNT went back to the game? Can that be a dang it for TNT?

[@antoineperreault8415]

One of the best hat picks episodes ever, keep up the great job steve

[@robertonievecimamontana7065]

Best Hockey "reviews," of any kind, at any time, PERIOD!!

[@ian8207]

I can imagine Torts's commentary on the Barkov goal: I think it's bad for the fundamentals of the game, players playing with the puck behind their backs, having fun, anything can happen while the puck is back there, Barkov will probably be the first to tell you he doesn't have eyes back there and could just as easily turn it over, I worry what's next for the game, maybe players hot dogging the puck up the ice on the blade of their stick lacrosse style 😂

[@GoodMenstruationAttitude]

Torts is still half-right though. The rulebook is going to need to be rewritten when people can lacrosse it all the way down the ice. I'm okay with that, should be an interesting game, even the NHL can totally get it done, but there *are* major hurdles to clear.

[@christosdeschaine9444]

I think the best part of that Barabanov goal is the perfect unintentional meshing of "O Fortuna" to the slow-mo replay.

[@billygoat30]

Steve, you forgot about Tage Thompson's first career NHL hat-trick

[@xIMAGERY]

Ima need a full version of the jack campbell you’re the best around ASAP Steve

[@jaclm]

They weren't saying Tyler Toffoli, they were saying *TYLER FOLI!*

[@1974heathinn]

For this week I sincerely hope you will add Pekka Rinne having his Jersey retired in hat picks. Great moment and well deserved for a great person not just a great goalie

[@coreyhill681]

CONGRATULATIONS CROSBY, Way to go, great accomplishment 👏.proud of ya

[@Pens724]

Being a fan of the NHL, I have been around long enough to see Gretzky, Lemieux, Jagr, Hull, Kariya, etc. Then onto Crosby, Ovie, Kane, and now to see McDavid, and Matthews. The game has changed throughout the years each of these stars have played, but each was and is amazing to watch and we are all lucky.

[@jessm89]

Absolutely this. What a time to be alive as a hockey fan.

[@dealy9268]

Thank you Steve and Drew! The Amazing Hurricanes (Who have been ignored by the media) have made hat-picks (for their hat-picks) two weeks in a row.

[@jamessnyder4182]

You forgot the shootout between BOS and NYR. Several very good goals and saves. The shootout as a whole was a hat pick

[@NARISHMA42]

As a Flyers fan, watching Kaner scoring in deep on the left side always triggers my PTSD #2010

[@skolblues]

These codes keep getting better and better all season. Best part of week😁

[@isles.hky1709]

I knew it wouldn’t just be the amazing goal for Rielly, great pass from Campbell.

[@DrFunkadunk]

The interchanging passing sequence ending with Hathaway's re-direct pass to give Jensen an open net goal in the Caps-Preds game last week definitely a missed hat pick.

[@zacharyalfonso9953]

Completely agree!!!

[@GoodMenstruationAttitude]

I love to hate him bc he's in my division but Hathaway is criminally underrated. He's huge but he can also hockey

[@Falllll]

@@GoodMenstruationAttitude He's a slightly smaller Tom Wilson with less fighting success. I mean that in the best of ways.

[@jimstoyles7617]

I enjoyed that as much as you did😮😮😮.This is why I ENJOY watching your videos. It's a hat pick for sure!Thanks again Friends

[@SRSpoony]

always a pleasure to watch the video's Steve, thanks for putting emotion into them, too many others sound like there either about to died or already have died while talking on them

[@marksalza1114]

"Oh they didn't get tired? That was smart." 😆 made me spit my drink out. 5:53

[@barbaradonaldson5554]

GREAT COMMENTS On SID! Thank you!!

[@starpetalarts6668]

My dad says that Carlsson play is the greatest save of the entire NHL existence to date.

[@juststeve1539]

"...and all your pucks are belong to him!" HA HA HA! Friggin love it!

[@CasaleRA]

Missed Jake Debrusk batting a puck out of the air into the net.

[@darylanderson4600]

Barkov is not underrated, every top 10 list I've seen in the last 3 years has him 5-10. That's not underrated, that's rated. Accurate in my opinion

[@Davisimo84]

not a lot of people think he is good. THey don't think of him on the same rank as Connor McDavid

[@BoxingFan699]

Barkov is underrated I have NEVER EVER seen him in a top 10 list

[@boots_33]

If you watch the Carlsson save closely, he actually gets the second save on the play! His stick starts to swing upwards and it gets in the way of Lorentz's attempt. If you watch closely on the overhead angle, the puck never even makes it to the crossbar. That's just unreal.

[@slamsM6]

18:32 Golden goal. It was beautiful 🇨🇦

[@ClonedChaos]

Hi Steve! I love watching your Hatpicks and Dang it's videos!! But you missed Nick Jensen's goal against Nashville from Feb 15th.

[@nathanielyounes112]

That leaf’s game was the first ever hockey game I been to. That was a bitter sweet day.

[@slipperynodd578]

I’m surprised you went to the bell centre as a Toronto fan, that is setting yourself up for disaster if you lose because you will get clowned on hard

[@colmanbaldwinson9091]

That tribute to Crosby was dope

[@joshfayne3591]

Imo Jack Eichel first goal for the VGK was a hat pick. Sweet keep in, danced a few defenders, sweet pass, sweet move by Stephenson and a beautiful finish.

[@seanbooher8252]

The Carlsson save is worthy of the Paddle Save Emporium, even though his stick doesn't really have a paddle.

[@dan_zehner]

Holy cow, I had this video queued up in another window that was hidden and when I restarted my browser Steve was yelling at me through the ether. Friggin' hilarious.

[@crazyg1zm0]

The Panthers Vs Hurrcanes game was insane,

[@bayareasportsfan04]

Barabanov's been a lowkey stud with us. Thanks for him, Steve 👍

[@T1ny_Boy]

Happy David Ayres day Steve

[@jerodgalle3831]

Couple things: First, with the Toffoli goal, I can't believe that Steve didn't mention how he was only using one skate during that mini-breakaway. I know the announcers said it, but Steve not pointing it out as well is surprising. That should be a dang-it. Second: allow me to start by saying that I don't really like Crosby. I'm a Devil's fan (save your hate and/or pity), so Crosby and the Penguins have always given us fits. Along with that, I've always found Crosby to be too much of a whiner and a sneaky dirty player at times. Having said all that, and knowing how much I dislike him, I have a lot of respect for him as a player. The guy has some slick moves, great playmaking ability, and a sniper's shot. Getting to 500 goals is a huge milestone for any player. Less than 50 players in NHL history have scored 500 goals in their career. Like him or not, 500 goals is an impressive feat. Trying to demean that because someone else scored 500 goals quicker than him? Like, what? That's ridiculous. Why should it matter how much longer it took him. 500 is 500, and should be applauded.

[@ankeriaskaarme8085]

Let me start off by saying, I hate and pity the Devils. But then again, I'm a Red Wings so ditto for me. Ditto, also for the evaluation on Crosby - I always found him a sneaky little whiny bastard too. But what can I say? The Kid's slowly grown on me. I don't think he's "that kid" anymore, or at least not half as bad. The talent's always been there of course, but right now I'm thinking... Selke? Anyways, kudos for #87 & Goal #500!

[@Kotten84]

I remember Crosby getting drafted by the Pens and him making his debut. I remember Sid playing with Lemieux. I remember him immediately being the star that would make the Pens shine again. I remember his problems with injuries and the worries that maybe this will be a generational talent that has his career ruined by them. I remember him becoming the captain that has lead Pittsburgh to greatness, winning the Stanley Cup once, twice, three times...so far. I also feel that I take him for granted because he's been here for so long and I sort of can't imagine a time without him at the Penguins. I do know that I will be here one day when Sid has retired and think "Man, what an amazing playing that Sid the Kid was and I miss seeing him play for the Pittsburgh Penguins".

[@unoriginalandrew]

Anyone else wait to watch Hat Picks till Dangits have come out? I like to watch them back to back.

[@TheMichalrusnak]

Steve, you make me happy. Have a lovely day! :)

[@mopaditi1737]

This was an astounding series of hat picks. Just. Wow.

[@GoYouDeepSeaMonsters]

You are, without a doubt, a MAJOR hoot. I love your turn of phrase.

[@mulletpower2009]

I'm a Red Wings fan. The amount of turmoil that Crosby has put my team through is unfathomable. AND EVEN I can still recognize the utter greatness that man displays. Definitely in the conversation for the greatest to ever lace up the skates.

[@sadface6635]

Without Sidney Crosby, there is no McDavid, Zegras, Hughes, Matthews, or whoever else you want to mention who will define the game for the next generation. If you ask any of them who their favorite players to watch were growing up they all say Sidney Crosby and Patrick Kane. Imagine coming into the league as one of the best, and never being content with it. He kept getting better. Even today most NHL players say he is still the hardest to defend and the best in the game. He defined what hockey is today, like Gretzky before him.

[@gerble36]

I'm not going to argue with the point you are trying to make. But if there was no Crosby... those players would have just loved a different player and still be awesome hockey players today. You are being a bit over dramatic :/.

[@sadface6635]

@@gerble36 It’s Crosby’s playstyle that they liked. You can’t get better at the game if you don’t watch and learn from better players than you. Of course there are other players to watch, just like there were other players to watch when Gretzky was around. But the way Gretzky played was unique and inspired an entire generation to adopt that playstyle. Crosby did the same for kids all over, and Kane did that for kids in the U.S. . I wanted to play like them. My brother who plays for the university of Wisconsin wanted to play like them (and he’s a defenseman). It shows their impact even on other positions and on all the players in the sport. I don’t think that’s a stretch or over dramatic.

[@luxchit3777]

Datsyuk inspired just as much also in the time up till Crosby

[@MayoFilms83]

David Ayres day. Can’t wait for the movie lol.

[@kennystorck4479]

That Barkov move was, filthy.

[@davemcclelland3164]

Thanks for giving a hat pick to Adam Larsson of my fledgeling Kraken team. One bright spot in a dismal week of losses.

[@NLSNcs]

Also thank you for defending Myers Steve, so many nucks fan we're blaming him when he was the only one who tried

[@Mateusofchrist]

My favorite hat pic is the Crosby one👌🖤💛

[@cjhenderson690]

I can't get over that when you turn on captions, it registers Grubauer as rhubarb...

[@ProfessorT687]

Did he just make an All Your Base reference?! I just had a flashback to surfing Newgrounds in 2001, haha

[@jimstoyles7617]

The only words I have to say about that goal😲😲I just did!

[@MikeParadigm]

I think the Canes scoring a goal to start consecutive periods (2nd and 3rd) against Pittsburgh in less than 10 seconds (9 seconds each) should have made the cut considering it was the first time any team in NHL history had done that. Rod Brind'Amour post game on is also a bit of a laugh: When asked if there was anything he spotted that Pittsburgh was doing on opening faceoffs that led to the quick scores: "I can’t be telling you what was going there, but every team has stuff they do off the faceoff."

[@mrutherford1106]

The Hurricanes became the first NHL team to score a goal in the first ten seconds of two consecutive periods (9 seconds into the second and third period on the 20th against Pittsburgh) They also scored 24 seconds into the second period the next day against Philadelphia (although the Flyers scored 35 seconds later) And the overtime winner in that game against the Flyers was Brett Pesce knocking the puck out of mid-air before scoring with 8 seconds left in overtime

[@KseggOne1]

i often have to wonder just how much higher Crosby's numbers would be if he didn't have to deal with those years of concussions and injuries. Lemieux too.

[@timmylosthishead]

All the Marty love makes me so happy ❤❤❤

[@kaydenshepherd510]

That Kane goal is actually so crazy. What's even crazier is he did it backhanded a few years ago

[@dathaniel9403]

In the Lucas Carlsson play, the second shot from Lorentz doesn't hit the crossbar, Carlsson stops it with his stick AGAIN and Lorentz ends up pulling it back with his stick as he's trying to reset for another swing. He stopped TWO shots with the shaft of his stick, the second WITH ONE HAND WHILE FALLING DOWN. Look at the slow-mo from above, you'll see it never touches the crossbar. This is the save of the decade.

[@haydogo6841]

If you look at the top down view, you can see that the puck actually didn’t go off the crossbar. It went off Carlsson’s stick, AGAIN. Insane sequence of events

[@galahad692000]

I thought Brayden Schenn's falling down putback of the rebound of his own shot was a sure hat pick... then I realized he picked the wrong week to do it in. (Maybe the wrong team to do it against, too. 😉). Can we just expand hat picks to 30 minutes?

[@shaemusnevin554]

Missed hatpick could be when a puck was played into the stands & the dude who got it gave it to a kid in the front row! it happened at the whistle with 17:07 to go in the 3rd in the NYI and MTL game on Sunday

[@dizzynuclear6903]

Include the Blue Jackets more, Adam Boqvist did the same thing as Morgan Reilly but it’s not included, Laine got a hat trick and has been red hot for the last month after LOSING HIS FATHER and JF Berube got his first win and his first NHL point this week
