Linus Ullmark First NHL Goal

[HanSolo]

Goalie goals are always that kind of moment you have to stop and tip your hat given how rare it is. Kudos to Ullmark. Fleury will be crying tonight.

(context: Fleury tried repeatedly to get a goal while he was with Vegas. Can't speak for how often he tried in Pittsburgh or Minny but it was/is definitely something he wants to achieve before retirement)

I think that was one of the best goalie goals ever, laser through the middle.

Nah, Hextall was the best at it!

 

[Bomber0104]

Petition for Yahoo to give us Ullmark owners a gino?

 

[Mick Riddleton]

The real question is why does no one like Tomas Nosek? He's clearly not sure which group to join haha.

I seen that too, he was like the awkward guy with no date when the dancing starts

Ya he turned the wrong way first and got left kicking dirt alone. Brings back 7th grade dance memories haha.

 

[Frank Drebin]

man that might be the best goalie goal of all time. He pounded that

 

[HellebuyckOurSaviour]

That was such an impressive goalie goal. That thing didn't touch the ice until almost the Canucks hashmarks.

 

[Panthaz89]

All star challenges do pay off huh

 

[Mick Riddleton]

That was such an impressive goalie goal. That thing didn't touch the ice until almost the Canucks hashmarks.

He can also slap the puck. I have seen him do that a few times as a way of passing it out of his end to team mates.

Just give Boston the Cup now.

very impressive

 

[SherVaughn30]

Just give Boston the Cup now.

very impressive

That's not how it works!

 

[Bocephus86]

Just give Boston the Cup now.

very impressive

If we're just giving out the cup can I have one? I've been hoping to eat gauc out of the stanley cup since I was a kid. I even kept up the dream for the 7 years between 7 and 14 I believed my sister when she said the green stuff that came out of my lobster is where gauc came from.

That's not how it works!

I dont know who can beat them.

 

[SherVaughn30]

Great empty net goal by Ullmark. At the same time, some of you talk like you were just born yesterday. Go look up Hextall's 2 goals scored on YouTube! Hextall used a heavy pure wood stick and from behind the goal line against my Caps in the playoffs!

 

[SensontheRush]

He was eyeing it as well in the most recent game against the Sens!

 

[SherVaughn30]

I dont know who can beat them.

All it could take is a goalie getting Halak hot! Craig Anderson is age 41 and just had a 49 saves 3-1 win against the Panthers.

Edit: this multi-quote feature is a nightmare. Always quoting the wrong thing.

 

[YearsintheWilderness]

Righteously shames an organization of prima donnas, punks, and drama-loving weaklings.

If any organization deserves to be embarrassed like this, it's this season's Canucks.

Could the tale of these two teams be any different following the 2011 Finals?

 

[Galactico]

Vezina confirmed.

 

[BTO]

Oh wow, could his season get any better?!

Why yes, yes it can . . . .

 

[TMLeafer]

Nice! Love to see goalies go for it.

 

[Johnny4778]

The real question is why does no one like Tomas Nosek? He's clearly not sure which group to join haha.

Edit: Also the 8th goalie in history to score a goal on a shot. 13th all time. Difference are listed as own goals, must have bounced off guys.

That stat is from wikipedia so if Im wrong correct me please.

Hands of stone! Makes PJ Axelleson look like Patrick Kane.

 

[Patmac40]

WOW!!! Three guys in front of him too. What a shot. That’s awesome.

 

[McGarnagle]

I’m willing to bet they had some money on who would do it first. They’ve both tried it a few times.

I'm glad that Jim Montgomery gives them the green light to try and builds up their confidence. 10000% sure Bruce Cassidy would be having a meltdown and publicly criticizing them for losing possession and icing the puck on a low percentage play.

 

[Fossy21]

Nah, Hextall was the best at it!

Hextall did it twice, my dude. Even if both of his were five billion times better than Ullmark's, Ullmark's could still be the third best and thus comfortably one of the best.

Also, this was, imo, better than either of Hextall's, as it was dead centre, he had less time to shoot than Hextall did either time, and it was a one-goal game. Hextall will always have been the trailblazer, though.
