[@ethandykstra09]

Who else feels bad for the goalies that let these strange goals in 👍especially for the one Mike Smith did that will never be forgotten lol 😂

[@maxpowr90]

Marc Bergevin hasn't changed in 20 years. Still, throwing the puck into his own net.

[@johnweslo9635]

My thing is did that last one count? If so HOW?

[@durrrrl3435]

John Howard It did count, because it’s not a reviewable play!!

[@durrrrl3435]

John Howard I also remember another one similar to this, I think it was San Jose, it hit the netting and came out front and someone put it in and it counted because of the same reason, nobody noticed it hit the netting and it’s not reviewable, at least at the time it wasn’t, it might be now, I’m not sure?

[@richmitch64]

dude i was in the 300 level at that game and it was the craziest thing......out of all the games to go to and we had no idea what had happened and it was an insane way to end an overtime!

[@conyo1942]

That last one was and is still an egregious non-call.

[@DukeDamnChin]

also: still hilarious. still funny. still very good.

[@reaganharder1480]

Reasons i think any play that directly results in a goal or game ending injury should be reviewable. (Well, actually, the reason is more just the madness that was last years playoffs... a 5 minute major for a freak accident and no review for a hand-pass goal...)

[@FHL-Devils]

@@reaganharder1480 ... ummm, that situation is reviewable now - after the Bruins were gifted a goal in the playoffs last year. Out-of-Play reviews, and 5-Minute-Major review came about this year directly because of bad calls in last years playoffs.

[@reaganharder1480]

@@FHL-Devils oh, well, good. Except that still doesn't deal with the silly hand-pass san-jose got away with. Honestly, the review rules are getting more and more complicated and convoluted. So I still say, let's simplify it to any play that results in an injury or a goal. I'm pretty sure that covers more or less everything that can currently be reviewed plus a little extra, and with less technicalities to remember. Heck, if you worded it right, that could even rule out the silly offside challenges where a goal is called back because of a bad entry into the zone two minutes prior which had no more effect on the goal than the green men in vancouver.

[@miguela4998]

4 refs and not one with the eyes on the puck 50ft up lol

[@lmtman6199]

Imagine putting in your own net and then skating back to the bench knowing the whole time that torts is ur headcoach

[@Cruz474]

pack your bags😂😂

[@headreddedstepchild6177]

That's funny. I forgot he was the coach until I seen it show him...Oh Torts

[@julesme2167]

Love Torts. Go Jackets!!!

[@TheCanadianWifier]

Doughty has ever right to be pissed off and vocal about #1

[@ibefullofme]

Shouldn't have been a goal by rule.

[@Yupthereitism]

Yea, I was watching that game. The replay shows the puck hitting the net

[@FHL-Devils]

@@Yupthereitism - "Replay". You're right. But puck-out-of-play wasn't reviewable... until this season after a similar thing happened in the playoffs last year, and the uproar that caused (and rightfully so).

[@cantthinkofaname7247]

The Mike Smith butt goal will never be forgotten

[@liamdanielhadcock4381]

Surprised this wasn’t just a Bernier highlight tape.

[@evgengladkiy5208]

lol

[@seabass7496]

2013 was a bad year for goalies apparently

[@leahluostarinen]

Why

[@unbrysonabletga6017]

Which is wierd because there were only 48 games that season

[@calebrosnack]

This video should be renamed “Top 10 Goalies dying on the inside”

[@johnweslo9635]

Seeing this happen to some of the best goaltenders of all time really makes me feel a little better when I do it for the 3rd time in 1 game.

[@yesmccauky748]

Toskala 197 foot goal? Thought that would make it

[@justinzeid212]

I thought so too.

[@chucku1001]

that wasnt a strange goal. toskala just biffed on it.

[@OZ469]

We need a second episode :D and tbh its prob very hard to search for these clips, so I'm not blaming if they missed some.

[@cameronbernardo]

Same

[@chucku1001]

@Dylan its a round puck with edges. Of course it can take a weird bounce. Toskala did what you are taught not to do with a bouncing puck. You come out and trap it with your body. Not wait for the puck to get to you and catch it with your glove. He got the fundamentals wrong. If the puck was sliding smoothly then took that bounce, then you have a case. It bounced the entire way and Toskala was casual because his team was on the power play. Toskalas mistake.

[@ravingmurray]

Bobby Ryan scoring with Mikko Koivu's stick should've been on this list.

[@BossyMeatCreature]

Ya way stranger than weird bounces off the glass and goalies' teammates.

[@leaf16nut]

Not to mention Ryan was probably plastered

[@durrrrl3435]

I love how he handed his stick back to him after too!!😂🤣

[@andrewknutson91]

I'm so glad they changed the ruling on the "non-reviewable" puck out of play.

[@254zero]

Was that #1? I thought it was out of play therefore the play stopped Immediately.

[@durrrrl3435]

254zero It was, but nobody saw it go out of play!

[@lildxsh3919]

I think everthing should be reviewable in all sports

[@jacksondelf7462]

These goals must have felt bad for the goalies

[@jmhouse7680]

Really

[@jaxon3863]

As a leafs fan I fully expected to see the 200ft Goal on Vesa Toskla but nope! Thanks Sportsnet, very cool

[@beaups10]

You could probably do a whole list with just Toronto letting in weird goals. I was expecting the one that Toskola let in against the Islanders that was from a 200ft shot lol

[@scrimpty]

Could do one of these just for 10 strangest goals to go in on Leafs goalies from the last 20 years.

[@nsadventures7762]

Vancouver vs sharks conference finals overtime 2011 game 5 should definitely be on this list

[@christinesalerno6984]

I am a fan and to be able to see these classic memories are so precious in these uncertain times "Let's GO Hockey" 👍✌️🤗

[@MJHFTBN]

Great top 10! Didn’t remember some of those!

[@Ducati_Dude]

I recall several years ago a puck went into Dominik Hašek's net... he had his left skate pinned to the post but the puck went in. It was shown on replay that there was a hole/tear in the netting at the post... The puck squeeked it's way through the hole... The strange thing is that nobody challenged the goal... you think Hašek would have shown the officials the hole in the net... he had to have seen it....... 🤷‍♂️

[@BigTwitchy]

I thought the title was a bit click-baity. Clicked anyway. Was not disappointed - thanks for a great compilation!

[@wonkywilla3263]

always felt like the wings were apart of a lot of weird goals in this timeframe

[@lorddrewski]

They had to score long range crazy shots so the refs couldnt call goalie interference lol.

[@zcb27]

i mean they can’t score regularly so they have to find a way

[@felipelv]

3:16 Latvian Legend!!

[@chriscostello117]

The Caps one against Philly a few years ago was spectacular.

[@matthewhogan180]

Came here for the Mike Smith butt goal. It better be here. Edit: It was.

[@rieldebonk1044]

Ikr it was a dumb move lol

[@DodgerFan1988]

"Darryl Sutter doesn't believe it, either." LMAO!

[@josephnajarian2038]

As a Devils fan, I was fully expecting the Brodeur own goal to be here. Not disappointed. May have been costly in the heat of the moment, but considering the result of the series, now we just laugh at it.

[@oldDNU]

Joseph Najarian as I said in another comment, I’ve seen Brodeur give up a bunch of weird and/or soft goals, but given his output, I have zero complaints!

[@abeaninmars4996]

As a goalie this hurt

[@Ter_Lap]

Great stuff right there. These are just like the goalies in EA Sports NHL.

[@michaelnaoufal9982]

goalies must love this video LOL

[@juliovindell264]

That Sharks Goal should have been number 1 in my opinion it doesn't get weirder than that !

[@shoota1748]

🔥Vamos! Excelente🔥 Before a big match or now when I training at home, I always watch GOL movie on the youtube and then put on playlist Delta Parole, Sumersed, SoaD for warmup and then GO GO GOOOLLL!!!!!

[@konstantinulankin562]

¿Qué?

[@wearel3gacy]

Jonathan Quick must be the most unlucky tender on earth man😂😂

[@Thermyl]

I've been seeing the 2011 sharks canucks goal a lot, but what about the one where the puck bounced off the board and went up behind the net in san hose with the canucks as well?

[@ericolsen8926]

No Cam Ward with puck stuck in skate? As a Canes fan that one was brutal, but it fits this video perfectly.

[@pulsefang666]

That went by quick. 🤣🤣🤣

[@CharlieND]

I miss hockey.

[@moksasha6470]

Nice man 👌 very good

[@Kieva_Storm]

Some hilariously high representation of Detroit in this video. And I remembered all of these except for the Ozilinsh goal.

[@Fowsta]

Omg poor goalies, this is so sad how many slow rollers there were! i also feel bad for the players that own goaled themselves.😭😭😭

[@leinbajr]

I was hoping the goal where Max Talbot got his first goal on a full-rink dump-in where Antero Niittymäki was watching the Peter Forsberg highlight on the Jumbotron would’ve made it.

[@csonkaperdido]

Everyone's remember the "butt fumble"? Wells, Mike Smith would like to submit for your review - the "butt goal"

[@radioactive9861]

I would have switched #3 with #1...other than that...spot on!

[@vedicardi]

the weird nhl video uploaded yesterday had basically all of these

[@theaquanova5616]

What about the goal against the canucks from this season? I can’t remember if it was soderberg or Richardson from the coyotes but it bounced up from behind the net

[@bubbles3161]

I love this stuff !

[@dakotathompson7811]

If you look closely to the dates on a few if not all of them ain't from this season I've been seeing dates from ten years ago. Don't believe me re watch and look at the dates yourself.but thanks for the video needed it this morning

[@RobertSmith-wz2ri]

It’s weird how the goal against Vesa Toskala from the New York Islanders game in March 18 2008 didn’t get added to this list.

[@redlights1585]

Immediately thought of number 3

[@rusevdai5810]

That was a dark time to be a leafs fan... But it paid off to get Marner and Matthews

[@mrtoke24]

Suter’s goal was actually fire

[@prtauvers]

Been there, done all that...ouch. I even still have my Whoops Award trophy on a Bernier-type own goal that knocked my team out of a tournament.

[@GummyBlocks]

I’m stunned the goal off the referee from last year wasn’t in this video.

[@williamhrivnak7345]

Technically that wasn’t a goal since you can’t score directly off of an official, unless we’re thinking of two different things

[@devincoles1830]

TJ Brodie's Harlem Globetrotter style goal against Boston was a strange one too.

[@SHonda-fq3gp]

Number 3 is amazing

[@lckimler]

I'm glad to see Cam Ward's puck-in-skate-blade goal didn't make the cut

[@mikekole]

The legit goal off Kiprusoff's back.

[@ILoveMisty1985]

Antoine Roussel had a goal like Kronwall’s in the 2016 playoffs, and it was a good goal.

[@geoffreywong9470]

This is sad to watch being a goalie myself😰

[@spilbee]

1:01 ¡Perry.. BAR DOWN!

[@braderzz97]

Number 8 is a class finish though

[@yannicnoah4948]

#10, i started calling him Lu-OWN-Goal and i love #5 just because it's against the Toronto Make Beliefs

[@Rybr2]

Suters are good at kick or hand throw pucks in own net hahaha :D

[@timdawson6187]

What about Jamie Benn earlier this season against Panthers when he scored and nobody on ice noticed?

[@vinnyjay5915]

Where’s the one where Crawford gets scored on from center ice

[@andrewsutton2266]

Bishops tampa mask was so dope

[@GinoU21]

Love this video. Could still do without the background music (if you HAVE to have it, can it at least be quiet enough to hear the announcers clearly) but other than that, another great video. I miss you, hockey.

[@Timmerz84]

Geez, 2013-14 really was a rough season for the goalies here.

[@Flickawho]

Really want a Steve’s Dang It in relation to Bergevin throwing the puck in the net. That was in the playoffs. Blues collapsed after winning the President’s Trophy and lost in the first round.

[@Kreege]

that 1999-00 Blues team could not catch a break in that series vs the sharks.

[@KevinSmith-bt7dv]

Just glad there was one against Toronto.

[@micahhirshman8556]

i was at a game just a couple of years ago where Cam Ward went back in the trapezoid to play the puck, then lost sight of the puck, turns out it was caught in his skate. He then circled back into the crease not knowing that he had the puck stuck in his skate, and put it into his own net... the refs reviewed the play and determined that it was a good goal for Arizona. Honestly shouldn’t have counted considering the refs lost sight of the puck before it crossed the line but it did count and how it didn’t make this video baffles me 😂

[@vancitycanucks]

Bieksa Stanchion goal in 2OT vs Sharks to clinch Western Conference in 2011.

[@daviddudley1988]

Poor Jonathan Quick get this guy a hole to crawl into 😂😂

[@RRRackCity]

Dang. Was hoping for the puck stuck in the goalie's skate behind the net then panic skates back to his net. Cam Ward in Carolina

[@Guizambaldi]

Number 3 is too funny.

[@tylersurles3630]

Can’t believe the Cam award skate goal didn’t make this list

[@GoJordan]

dang, how many of these were in the 2013-2014 season?

[@Simon-tc1mc]

I remember watching that wings vs kings game live and I still don't understand how that counts as a goal. I thought as soon as the puck hit the protective netting that the play was dead. They even video reviewed the goal and still confirmed it.

[@silversailer]

It should have been blown dead, but since none of the officials or linesmen saw it hit the netting, it wasn't. The problem came because checking to see if a puck was out of play was not a review-able play, the refs couldn't change the non-call.

[@JP_HKY]

These are definitely strange.

[@csonkaperdido]

#8 Send that man to try out for Manchester United! What a finish!! Lol

[@CookedSaladkacler]

What about when liane sniped it into his own net thinking it was the other teams

[@Cornishhamster3]

Regarding number 8, I feel 78.5 ii - Goals disallowed when scored with a distinct kicking motion makes no distinction between attached goal and kicked into own goal. As such i feel that 8 should have been overturned on review as that may be one of the most obvious kicking motions I have ever seen.

[@jeanmarco40]

In the German League, Brett Olson once scored a "baseball goal"... From the other side of the ice... And it wasn't an empty net..

[@leafyradio6934]

Kronwell said “kobe!”

[@B_Man05]

These are too funny

[@barboss7328]

Quick,Halak good luck))

[@arlofleenor1838]

Imagine if one these was the Stanley cup winning goal

[@StephenDoty84]

Puck in the pants should have been #1. Goalie smuggled it in.

[@flyingtiger1603]

How could you forget the Vesa Toskala goal from 200 feet? That should be #1. Sportsnet you should be ashamed.

[@fletcherklug3280]

If you completely ignore how they are ranked, this vid is fine. 10 is 100 times cooler than 4 and 5

[@STNeish]

That last one definitely hit the mesh, WAY up in the air, so the goal shouldn't have counted.

[@THATG0MEZ]

Chris Phillips own goal in the '07 Cup final that ended up being the Cup winning goal for the Ducks wasn't considered?

[@ITDBruins]

so we all just conveniently forgot about that time Vesa Toskala let a goal in from 197 feet out?

[@MUSIC7121995]

That was an awesome list but no. 1 was a bad choice, I mean its crazy but its a just a blown call.

[@36inc]

lets be fair aint nobody saw where that puck went. and the rules at the time said unreviewable.

[@oldDNU]

It’s still weird, just a different kind of weird from the rest.

[@menowno3122]

Feels bad for Quick 3/10 of the highlights were on him.

[@Krokodilius]

bernier pure incompetence. bishop sees it all the way and it's like he doesn't care lmao.

[@36inc]

on bishops hes accidentally drops his stick and he didnt have enough time to recover

[@jacobwalden4801]

Jonathan Quick is in here a lot

[@jackunger1395]

How bout when Laine scores on his own net 😂😂

[@Cruz474]

That was mind boggling lmao

[@durrrrl3435]

Or Bryan McCabe...in overtime!😂

[@dthompson4356]

How lucky is Detroit? Wow
