which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

And one of those in a playoff series 5 v 5 OT too!!

I think 31314646267979294

that one was the worst brain freeze.

unless its a 3-0, but yeah i get what your saying. 5:15 cant blame the Markstrom one bit on that. one of the best stick breaks ive seen, well deserved too.

​@@wrenchedfoxbodyWell he didn't really have a chance on that one, but I see what you're saying

That Horvat also snows his own goalie after the puck goes in is just the icing on the cake for Markstrom. No wonder he was pissed.

I wonder, can you intentionally move your own goal while the three players are still midfield and take the penalty shot of only one player? It should increase your odds of saving significantly, but it's unsportsmanlike...

@@karelspinka3031 That has happened in the AHL. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p7GIlbGbp86dg6M.html. The goalie was facing a 2-0 breakaway, turned around and just heaved the goal off its moorings. Then he proceeded to make the save on the penalty shot. Markstrom probably should have done the same thing, especially with a 3-0.

I laughed so hard when that 3 on 0 happened. As a Blues fan who's least favourite NHL organization is the Canucks, it warmed my soul. Also, re: the goalie knocking the net off intentionally during a breakaway, I'd almost suggest an ejection for that. Toss the keeper and force the coach to throw in a cold goalie for the penalty shot, for such a blatant unsportsmanlike move.

@@BlueBagger83 Seems the NHL may have learned from that AHL event. From the official rules, Section 9, 63.7 "If the goal post is deliberately displaced by a goalkeeper during the course of a "breakaway," a goal will be awarded to the non-offending team." So if Markstrom had done that, St Louis would still have been awarded the goal. Probably credited to Schenn, since he was first to catch up with the puck.

Right? I guess it’s a lesson to always play till you hear the whistle, but still is tough to watch

Nah, just a classic Hab embellishment.

@@Lynx037 Who won that series?

@@politicalbandwagon4989 Who won the cup in 2011?

@@glaxko2 One cup in 50 years and being 1-6 in the finals in that time and blowing a 2-0 lead in 1991, a 3-1 lead in 2004 and a 3-0 lead in 2010 is really not much to be proud about.

bro I was there too, absolutely insane save by Moose to keep it from going into the net

so many choices, so little time.

He was certainly the most entertaining goalie for a generation of players.

watched him play vs columbus (with tampa) and he had 3 assists for the jackets and still won the game. entertainment plus is an understatement when describing mike smith.

He also reverse-checks well, plus he's fast and annoying. Underrated player.

You mean Leafs ruined it and should be ashamed of themselves???

Take accountability for a loss that was certainly and that I can confidently say, was the Leafs fault.

@@GeorgeChemGamer no. It's the Habs fault for making us blow a 3-1 series lead. It's their fault. It's not the Leafs fault

@@mikulitsi1819 no, it's not the Leafs that ruined it, it's the Habs fault. The Habs should be ashamed of themselves for making us blow that 3-1 series lead

@@keeshandave8603 The leafs choke the Habs only did what they needed to do, nothing to be ashamed for the Habs

The Detroit mistake was this year, the Toronto playoff mistake was like 2 years ago

That wasn’t really a bad turnover. It was just a good play by Robertson.

Can't be as embarrassing as retiring Chris Neil's number

@@Mordecai478 rude

@@Mordecai478 that's an personal attack on Chris Neil, uncool

Wasn’t overtime

Habs fan here...nothing about that slash explains Kovalev's egregiously selfish response to it. I loved Kovalev and his time in Montreal. I don't think this clip is representative of his contributions to the hockey club, but this was nonetheless probably the lowlight of his entire NHL career. In that moment, pain or not, he was completely self absorbed. Even as a young teenager, I remember being very embarrassed for him.

@@bradmorris5797 it doesn’t matter. A slash is a two minute minor. Refs screwed the Habs there, period.

Does it matter? Still an embarrassing overtime goal, which was the point

@@roshandave1634 I just find it funny that bruins fans laugh at that goal so much and completely ignore the fact that they blew a 3-1 series lead.

@@politicalbandwagon4989 not the point of the video

@@ggitslificious But it’s still pretty funny.

@@politicalbandwagon4989 I mean we don’t necessarily ignore it, but it’s still a funny moment to laugh it, regardless of the outcome of the series

You have to look at that play through the lens of the 2004 rulebook, not through the eyes of the 2022 league. There was no coach's challenge, penalty review or other such failsafes built into the game. The players knew this, and bailing out on such an important play in such an irresponsible fashion was simply not acceptable. The slash was real and it probably hurt quite a bit, but that reaction was NOT a good look for Kovalev, and it was demoralizing for the Habs and it left fans (including me) utterly bewildered and upset. On the flip side, Kovalev publicly accepted responsibility for the play when the press interviewed him the next day. His team got behind him after that and I believe the Habs rallied from behind to win the series, no small thanks going to Kovalev for game-winning contributions in games 5 and 7.

At least Habs don't miss penalties, BOSTON.

Hey buddy!
