2014-15 NHL Season Thread: BLUEFAN IS IN THE PLAYOFFS

[Palin]

That's how you break a losing streak.

[Outlaw]

Here's a nominee for goal of the season:

[Palin]

Oh that's beautiful.

[Aksannyi]

That is like the mother of own goals lol.

[Obsidian]

That's not an own goal.

[Aksannyi]

How is it not? I see it going off of two Oilers with a bit of post action.

[Obsidian]

One of us needs our eyes checked. That's Pred > Post > in.

[Grey Jorildyn]

Preds guy sweeps it in, just a bad angle to see it from.

[Selamis]

It's off the Perd stick, grazes the goalie's skate, douple post and in. Own goal would have to be shot in or deflected in by stick by someone on the Oilers.

[Aksannyi]

I've watched this like 27 times and I see Oiler - post - other Oiler - in.

I will agree that I do need to get my eyes checked, it's been a while. I know what an own goal is, I guess I just can't see it. Maybe I need slower-motion than this slow-motion.

[Obsidian]

The only Oiler it even comes close to hitting is Scrivens.

[Aksannyi]

Yeah I think I need to see it slower then, my bad, I'm terrible.

I think I'll take that as a sign to go to bed.

[Palin]

I thought it was an own goal at first too. Watch the veryyyyyyyyyy edge of the left side of the screen, you'll see the stick and player come into focus and can follow him through the goal.

[Deader2818]

Yeah I thought it was an own goal too till i looked at it a few times.

[Vaspinne]

Here's a nominee for goal of the season:

6/10

Needs to be more upside-down to impress me. Ovie style from like 8 years ago

Edit: All jokes aside, Ovie's goal was actually 8 years ago. That's kinda nuts

Obsidian: Fuck the Leafs - they're going down. GO BRUINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Aksannyi]

Okay I looked at it this morning with fresh eyes and I see it now. I will learn from this and stop making judgments on goals when I should probably be asleep.

[Bregor]

Mojo Jojo making me swoon this year. He's actually using his speed in the offensive zone to create shots and *gasp* go to the net.

Also a little late but Screamin' Eagle Gonchar was best Gonchar.

[Obsidian]

Obsidian: Fuck the Leafs - they're going down. GO BRUINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HEY BORI, YOU OFFEND MY SENSIBILITIES BUT I CONCUR WITH YOUR ASSESSMENT OF TONIGHT'S CONTEST.

[Xajii]

Aks I thought it was an own goal at first too, the Oiler in the foreground actually whiffs the puck o(or intentionally doesn't do anything with it? but you'd think he would clear it out if he could). It's an odd angle, but yeah that goal is crazy.

@ Bregor - MoJo has been fantastic, his chemistry with Bura is so exciting to see. MoJo and his silly wrap arounds. Wish Ovi could teach him something about shooting regular shots though, he's just not that great at it. His shooting percentage is all kinds of unsustainable, so I hope that his speed and chemistry with his line will help him play well even when he's getting less puck luck.
