"In this life, if a problem is soaring 5 feet wide of you, don't try to whack at it" -Steve "Dangle" Glynn, 2022 Words to live by.

[@shaylelarue3648]

Absolutely 🧐

[@jimb.7523]

*"Words for Alex Nedeljkovic to live by." There. Fixed it!

[@ryanmovius8540]

Nedeljkovic needed the own-goal to start his Goalie, HOW? hat trick: an own-goal, an assist (two minutes later), and a fight. Even just getting an assist and a fight (technically offsetting two for roughing after the line brawl but worth counting) is rare. He is the only goaltender to accomplish all three in the same game.

[@TomssP642]

Larsson got ruined by terrible coaches.

[@grahamdamberger7130]

@@agentmassa3618 He was also playing on teams who were using up part of their salary cap as dead salary (salary retention, buyout penalties, cap circumvention penalties) and as a result they had WAY less cap than most other teams and were STILL underwhelming. Taylor Hall may have won a Hart trophy as a Devil but he was still traded, signed as a free agent and was traded again before Larsson was selected in the expansion draft.

That Chicago goalie interference, wtf "if you're a war room judge, judge the play!"

[@andyweinberg8100]

That Nedeljkovic own goal is going to be one of the biggest dang its of the decade. Maybe all time. He had to swat the puck past 2 attacking players bearing down on the net. That play never had more than a 5% chance of success, where success wasn't scoring a goal or saving a goal, but just getting the puck to your own teammate.

[@Kmartsmart]

"What a start for Mrazek" he says so neutrally. Love Craig Simpson.

[@butcherpete2286]

I like how there was almost ZERO contact from any bruins player on the ice and it was ruled a no goal because of goaltender interference so it had to be the stick touching MAF, but then the Caps challenged a goal because a players stick was between Vanaceks legs while he was trying to move over and that wasn't goaltender interference Like.... what?

[@jarretratajczak4066]

I mean like smith tripped the hawks defender and then tried to avoid the goalie but had the turning radius of a 18 wheeler

[@theseanie9958]

smith dumped stillman into fleury

[@LighthawkTenchi]

I don’t even like the Bruins(Bolts fan) and I think that goal should have counted. The refs in the NHL could do their job blindfolded and it wouldn’t be any different

[@grahamdamberger7130]

The Ducks' goal in Game 5 of the second round in 2017 counted despite Kesler trying his best to slow down Talbot by pressing his glove into Talbot's pad, yet the Sharks lost a goal to goalie interference when it was the Calgary goalie's own player who took him out. You look throughout the history of the NHL and you will find examples of both.

[@BrettfordBolts]

The rule needs revision, no consistency

[@karliekray8290]

I've been waiting days to hear Steve yell at tell Koskinen to tend the goal. Nice set up, excellent delivery.

[@Garbox80]

Hadn't seen the last one before. Almost fell of my chair, literally 🤣 The Koskinen dang-it is one thing, you can also put some blame on Keith there, but Ned? Steve is right; there's no need for that move whatsoever. On dictionary, right beside the phrase "brain fart", is this sequence.

[@aralornwolf3140]

I saw it before. It was on TSN's worst play of the night segment.

[@JCBluenote24]

I am in tears with just how damn funny this week's episode was Steve and Drew. Between the Styx karaoke with Grubauer, the dings on that sequence, warming up the pipes for Wideman (we also would have accepted "Say The Line Bart!" by the way) and "The Nedeljkovic"...I am laughing way too hard at my desk today. Thankfully there's only 6 people in the building today...

[@tkirchmann]

[@jwpg0312]

You know that goalie interference call was bad when the opposing team announcers don’t agree that it was goalie interference

[@ILoveMisty1985]

I read the Down Goes Brown Guide to Goaltender Interference Reviews, and it makes it pretty clear that if there's an attacking player in the crease a la Brett Hull there's a good chance the goal would be overturned. And Craig Smith was definitely in the crease. If there's a dang-it it would be on Steve for saying that the interference was on Charlie Coyle when it was Craig Smith that was in the crease.

[@lemurking6896]

That's all well and good except that isn't at all how it seems to be called in practice half the time

[@joshuanichols835]

You missed the Officiating dang it from Sundays Wild vs. Predators. At the end of the 1st period, the Wild shoot and it looks like it’s a goal. The goal is immediately waved off. 3/4 of the replays on the Jumbotron show the puck going square into the net, 1 shows the puck seeming to bounce off the left post. Of course there’s a scrum after and after and officials go to the box to confer. After a discussion they come out and say, “there was 3.9 seconds left on the clock and no whistle was blown. The period is over”. As they’re saying this, 3.9 seconds is added to the board and immediately winds down.

[@frycook6396]

The answer to the How Did That Happen on the Kraken shuffle goal is named Phillip Grubauer. Man is the Matt Stafford in Detroit of goaltending this year. (For non-American Football fans, Matthew Stafford is the quarterback for the LA Rams who just won the Superbowl. During his 12 seasons witht he Detroit Lions, he averaged 1 interception for every 1 Touchdowns. Most quarterbacks are closer to 1/5 ratio, so he is very inconsistent.)

I feel like Mrázek just needs to find his fun again. I was a great goalie a few years back, than the last 2 years became absolutely dreadful to watch because everyone was upset with me (including myself) and I just didn’t know how I’d gotten so bad so fast. Then the last month I watched Fleury play and leached off of some of his energy and joy and wouldn’t you know it, I made save after save with a big smile on my face. Talent and practice is obviously needed to become a great goalie, but having no fun and motivation isn’t fixed by kicking someone to the curb. But that’s just my experience, people tend to differ.

In my opinion, Bergevin's own goal is even worse than Nedeljkovic, because it was in the playoffs. St. Louis was very good that year, and if I remember correctly, they had finished 1st in the West (which was no small feat). I don't remember how the game ended, but the Blues lost the series, in first round on top of it. If we take out the context though, they are fairly close!
