NHL Playoffs (ice hockey) + bracket challenge!

Well, this is definitely a weird way to score. Coyotes vs. Hurricanes, of all teams, just tonight.

It looks like your usual dump the puck behind the net and the goalie comes clear it move, a play that happens like a million times every game. But there's a twist. Cam Ward lost sight of the puck. Must have missed it. Assumed someone else got it, so he came back to his net and assumed a defense position as the Coyotes come to his net, likely with the puck. But the puck is nowhere to be found. Realizes it was stuck in his skate all this time. The puck got stuck while he was behind the net, and accidentally scored in his own goal as his feet went behind the red line, without anyone noticing or the referees stopping the game. And it's a valid goal, albeit an unusual one. What a lucky goal.

And the Hurricanes still won 6-5.

ROFL, nice one XD

Also the Jets got 100 pts. Woohoo!

Another weird one: Carey Price makes a save from the bench. Would be nice if he would be in front of the goal, though.

I don't think you made your point clear enough. Do you want the Jets to lose

u/Yuki April 29, 2018, 12:03:48 AM

wait what

more updates later tonight

EDIT: Canadiens 3rd, Hurricanes 2nd, Sabres 1st. Not bad. So the order is more or less the same as before except the Canadiens jumped by one place up and the Hurricanes got ridiculously lucky.

The Winnipeg Jets are one game away from reaching the 3rd round for the first time in Jets history (including the 1972-1996 team)

Woohoo Jets leads Vegas Golden Knights 1-0 in the 3rd round!

So it's NHL playoffs and my Jets are leading 2-0 in game 5. @Juju how is your team doing in the playoffs this year?

u/Yuki April 19, 2019, 03:10:26 AM

Eh, I've been out of the loop about hockey these days, the Canadiens being woefully average, but the Penguins losing to the Islanders certainly was something, as well as the Lightning losing to the Blue Jackets, both 4-0. Kinda hopeful for the Leafs these days.

I kinda wish for a Leafs vs. Jets in finals, why not.
