The Nashville Predators' Heartbreaking Collapse: Challenging Patrik Stefan's Infamous Blunder
Рет қаралды 13,338
Ай бұрынAbsolutely jaw-dropping!
In a game filled with tension and anticipation, the Nashville Predators found themselves on the cusp of a pivotal victory in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. With the net empty and victory seemingly within their grasp, they aimed for the clinching goal, only to be thwarted by the cruel fate of the puck striking the post.
It was a moment that echoed the infamous blunder of Patrik Stefan, forever etched in hockey lore. The agony of that missed opportunity was palpable as the Vancouver Canucks capitalized on the momentum shift, securing an overtime win and a commanding 3-1 series lead.
Oh, how the course of history could have been altered with just a fraction of an inch difference. The echoes of that missed chance will reverberate through the annals of hockey history, reminding us of the fine line between triumph and despair in the unforgiving arena of professional sports.

We saw everything in game 4, a third string goalie in his first playoff game, a last second comeback by the Canucks, A Patrik Stefan, a hat trick by Brock Boeser, and a leaf worthy choke

Stefan's empty net miss was worse than Sissons because Stefan had a clear cut breakaway but the result of Sissons miss was worse because the Canucks won it in OT putting the Preds on the brink of elimination while Dallas actually won their game in OT!

Really makes u think, Stephan’s fumble was so unfortunate and poetic that despite them winning anyways people only remember the fumble

Stefan's is still worst, it was a clear cut breakaway with no pressure that he screwed up. Sisson was forced to make the shot on his backhand because the quick back checking of Petterson prevented Sisson from moving the puck to his forehand for a more accurate shooting chance. It's not easy aiming a puck on the backhand when everyone has a curved blade now.

it's also worse because unlike the Stars, Nashville ended up losing in OT

Everybody ignores the fact that the puck took a super nasty bounce on Stefan. Nobody in his position would have scored there. The only mistake was not immediately directing the puck towards the empty net as many players do now (partly afraid of just this). Sissons shot and missed. Quite a different scenario.

While Stefan missed terribly, he was on a breakaway and didn’t have any pressure on a mid Dallas stars team. Sissons is being pressured by Peterson while at a tough angle for the game winning goal

It looked like the puck skipped on something and flipped over Stefans's stick...weird.

I was listening to the Oilers game on the radio at work...I couldn't quite figure out what was going on. I told Marty..."I think a Dallas guy had a breakaway on an empty net , he must have broke his stick , and then Hemsky went and scored" I watched the highlights....sure enough.

@g.w.7893 I realize that, but at the time when I listening on the radio, I'm thinking "how can he miss an open net on a break away, he's an NHLer". I watched it later on the highlights. Never seen anything like it... probably go down in sports history as probably top 5 blunders

Sissons’ miss was only REALLY bad in hindsight. But there’s really no comparison. He Sissons didn’t have a clear shot. A lot of people would miss that.

Not even close, those calling it the same have never played hockey lol. Hughes did well to angle him off on the goal side, Sissons could not angle his backhand enough to get a more accurate shot on net due to Pettersson backchecking, his only chance was to backhand it from the angle he had and hope for the best

Canucks have done that all season long and it's worked wonders for them. It's called the TightForDef strategy. Tight forecheck and high pressure defence and score on high opportunities/perfect play goals. Only team I see that's able to do that. It only looks like they're playing 2 minutes of 58 min because of this strategy. Don't really see Nashville coming close to this series.
