*Let's be honest, we're mainly here to see Ullmark get scolded by Steve.*

You caught me lol

100%

Bruins fan, but guilty

[@feldwad]

we all knew it was coming

The goal was Charlie MacAvoys fault. The guy doesnt play defense and his offense is really really bad.

[@mr.t.9069]

When Martin Necas got hit into the bench, you should take a look at his stick before going over, and after he got out... Before he enters, his stick is normal, when he gets up, the blade is gone.

[@MALCOMFRVR]

I thought Tom Wilson was on the canes for a seconf

[@Lukemaster130]

Yea shouldn't have punched him but when Nelson broke his stick I don't blame him for punching him lol

[@Kieva_Storm]

THIS. 1000% this. I feel like as a ref, at that point, punching a player on the other team is warranted, if you can't say who broke the stick, or maybe didn't noticed it was broken for the player.

[@vilhamdutch2962]

Yea second guy from the right stomped his stick so he hit em with the cross good for him. Reminds me of when kassian held avs man down by his crotch when he went over and avs guy punched him in the face. Shifty mos

The comment sections of every video I’ve seen of Ullmarks blunder has been a mixture of “If you’re a goaltender…” and “that’s a dang-it.” Steve has become a meme.

[@doggosplosion]

My wife and I still laughing at the comment : " It is awesome being on the other end of it!!!" Steve's glee was worth it.

[@evey89]

I have been watching Dang-its and Hat-picks for years now and I just have to give Steve some seriously awesome props for saying "thank you" in sign language in the outro. That's a really nice touch.

[@Luci-rv1hl]

I see what you did there.

[@MrSpleenface]

“Scheme Leading the Toronto debate team” 😂 How did the commentators not make hat picks

[@pieshka4509]

Stomping a stick and breaking the blade off when they flip onto the bench to get them into a punching rage is pretty classic

[@markbarry9945]

Dangle didn't even mention how Necas goes into the bench with a good stick then comes out with a half stick, how do he not mention that in his commentary? that's probably why there was no penalty.

[@HockeyNateOfficial]

As a bruins fan I will never recover if the bruins lose to the panthers

[@him1016]

[@marilllover2177]

[@josiahharrison9843]

If the Bruins lose this series, and Leafs win theirs. Would that mean that the curse is transferred?

[@sakalaathletics]

Necas punched Nelson because he broke the blade off of his stick

[@joelbennett6382]

Exactly why nothing was called tit for tat

[@ponyboycurtisx]

Is there any actual proof of that

[@sakalaathletics]

@@ponyboycurtisx Use your eyes. The Carolina player goes in with a full stick, he gets up, tries to lift it, but you can see from the angle that it is stuck under something (right where Brock Nelson #29's foot is), and when he gets out of the bench his stick suddenly doesn't have a blade. He ignores Cizikas to punch Nelson specifically even though he's wearing a face shield. It is evident that his blade got broken off by Nelson, and to demand any other evidence is really foolish.

[@sakalaathletics]

I sent another comment giving a video and time stamp to watch, but I suspect youtube automatically removed it.

[@Rex73777]

​@@sakalaathletics Its foolish to make up all this in your mind. A more logical conclusion to make is when he got thrown over the boards his stick got broken. The same sticks that break from shooting the puck and any other minor damage they incur.

[@pen51767]

As soon as the flub took place I thought of you Steve. TEND THE BLEEPIN GOAL!!!!!

[@HexagonalMan6]

The worst part about Gru's fumble there is he doesn't usually *make* that kind of mistake or risky play. When I saw it my reaction was "Gru... not you!"

What Game 7?

[@Crazy_Dwarf]

@@PlutoTheSecond my comment didn’t age well 🤣🤣🤣

[@afhostie]

Ullmark makes the hat pick for not tending the goal, then immediately makes the dang-its for also not tending the goal

[@1saac679]

Hat pick even though they lost game 5: Avs Rodriguez making a save on an empty net to give the boys a chance. That’s a true effort right there

[@joverdorff4277]

Reminds me of Fleury against Columbus a few years back. Similar circumstances, too. Penguins were also up 3-1 in the series, except Fleury gave up the game-tying goal with 20 seconds left doing that. And then proceeded to let in a soft goal from the blue line in OT. Don't get me wrong, he's still a great goalie and I like MAF, but last night reminded me of that.

[@samuelt.o.branch7413]

The reason Necas punched him was because Nelson broke his stick on purpose while Necas was in the bench.

[@keefersmotherland1308]

Come on Steve ... Why isnt the bench given a penalty for interfering with the play. They broke his stick. and thanks for updating us on the situation room giving a game to the LA Kings once again.

[@mattwelch2470]

I'm happy I i waited a few days to watch this week's dang its. It makes last night's game 7 victory all the sweeter.

[@sirpsycho986]

Steve was honestly pretty easy on Ullmark here, much easier than I expected. As a huge Bruins and Ullmark fan, I had a few more expletives in my commentary...

[@BadButSweaty]

Saaaame here 😂

[@bmoney2011]

Necas threw a punch because someone stomped on his stick while he was in the bench. If you notice, when he comes up, he's missing the blade of his stick.

[@declanf.5532]

Still a penalty, fine suspension or something . As Steve said by doing nothing your supporting it and saying it’s okay to do that

[@declanf.5532]

It’s called played safety

[@cia_dir]

Imagine an islanders fan clamoring for player safety. Hilarious.

[@Milehighsnake98]

I mean, if someone stomped on my $400 stick, I'd probably do the same thing too.

[@bmoney2011]

@@declanf.5532 I agree! There were many people that need to accept accountability in this play.

[@theghost4282]

When the Canes player got up from the bench it looked like he didnt have a blade on his stick, aka a guy on the bench slammed his foot down on it breaking it. That would have for sure caused that reactions

[@Sinfulskyline]

That intro thanking Linus was gold. xD

[@nicolelala10]

As a hockey fan, I need almost nothing more than for Toronto to NOT win the Cup. It’s such a great sub-plot to every season….” Will this be the year?” Much like the Chicago Cubs never winning the World Series. Now that they w won it, they’re not the “lovable” Cubs. They’re now just another team.

[@gabrielcalouro3136]

It's far more hilarious that Necas punched THE ONLY GUY WITH A FULL SHIELD ON THE ISLES' BENCH!

[@sakalaathletics]

Because that guy (Brock Nelson) broke the blade off of Necas's stick.

[@iliaponomarev1624]

So, I'm wondering again. Last time, it was a goal, but should Sebastian Aho's assist count towards Sebastian Aho's totals?

[@conroche1535]

Since you've mentioned a few times, that you're learning to play the game, I'm guessing the Romanov flub is one reason you like Thursdays so much. Seeing one of the 500 or so best players in the world whiff on the puck is very reassuring, since you know, from experience, how embarrassing that is. I can relate.

[@jonathanzygila8204]

Football also has a few sideline incidents. Usually after a late two-handed shove, or some trash talk after a whistle while weaving through the sidelined players.

@@trisalty1172 I mean, the other players foot kicked Nates skates out from under him. And let's not forget the blatant trip when he was about to be on a breakaway.

There shouldn't have been a penalty called at all, much less a suspension.

@@Urlacher541000 It went from no penalty, to scraping McCanns carcass off the ice from his own mistake, to "well, let's call a major so we can review if there was a penalty at all". That's the only reason they called the major. They didn't call anything until several minutes later.

With the punch on the bench I felt like I was watching a scene from Slap Shot. For the Kings high stick, the most important factor for me was McDavid putting up his arm. He has such awareness you know he was not wrong. But all is well that ends well.

Thanks for getting the Ullmark iyag, TTG! out of the way first

[@tob564]

In Finnish Liiga finals and first elimination game, a team called Tappara (who were leading the series 3-1) scored three goals in less than eight minutes only to blow the lead before third period. In the third, the opposing team called Pelicans scored one more goal to make it 3-4 only to let a tying goal literally at 59:59. Tappara proceeded to score in OT and became the champions second time in a row. That's a lot of dang-its and hat-picks in a single game. And by the way, the clutch tying goal was scored by Veli-Matti Savinainen, who won his fifth consecutive Finnish championship. That is an absolutely insane record. He has also won the WC in the past and he won the Champions Hockey League with Tappara this season too. And he won the playoffs MVP trophy a.k.a. Jari Kurri trophy as well this season. Talk about a champion!
