Canadiens' Empty-Net Barrage Pays Off as Caufield Ties it With Two Seconds Remaining

Watch as the Montreal Canadiens refuse to quit needing a goal late against the Philadelphia Flyers, holding a six-man attack for over a full minute before Cole Caufield finally cashes in to tie the game with two seconds remaining.

[@camelcase9225]

Man regardless of the teams that achieve it this is always the sickest thing every season. Final second empty net tying goals are great to watch.

[@theminegoon]

the tension of hockey is something special

[@kodalycat906]

Especially with many kick saves, sog's and off but inability for one team to clear the puck out of their zone or stop play. It was the continuous nature of the last minute plus that was unusual and thrilling. The last time the Habs pulled one of these extra man, last second tying goals was when they had Max Domi. Exciting then, exciting now.

[@bmanelite]

Unbelievable! Even though Caufield just missed, with 4 seconds to go Suzuki trusts him and doesn't crack under the pressure of time, giving Caufield a dime pass to score. Absolutely great show of captaincy, and trust that this team has built. What a goal.

[@JoshuaRichardHancock]

this is exactly why hes captain. hes our super star!

[@kodalycat906]

You're right. Yeah, he doesn't look like much physically, but the kid has exceptional hockey IQ and makes the most of his better by the year (in consistency) skill package. Caufield missed twice in the sequence and Suzuki still calmly sent the laser pass his way, knowing CC wasn't going to miss the net on the third try. Kudos to the Habs as well for being able to keep the puck in the zone despite the Flyers efforts to clear it and win the game in regulation.

[@kappapoppa6901]

I mean yeah Caufield just missed but everyone on the ice knows he's still the guy you want shooting in that situation especially because that wasn't the easiest pass to handle and get on net it was a nice read and pass but wasn't anywhere near Caulfield's tape he had to adjust to get that one to the net

[@pierrejoly205]

yes what a goal

[@albertvanular433]

​@@kappapoppa6901 What are you talking about??? That was a stunningly great amazing pass and superb play by Suzuki. I can't think of anyone else in the league outside if Crosby, who could keep his cool under pressure the way Suzuki did. Captain Nick is the only reason CC scored that goal
