EBUG in Edmonton! Oilers swapped in their 25 yr old U of Alberta backup for the last 3 mins of the game up 7-3. 1.000 SV% on 1 shot against. Love to see it

If this guys nickname isn’t ‘Berlin Wall’, we have failed as a species.

How'd they pull this off? Flyers weren't allowed to do it

He technically wasn't the EBUG - he was signed to an ATO before the game, so they were able to put him into the game.

Hershey's annual teddy bear toss was today. Before the game I took to the Bears thread on the Caps board. I mused, out of curiosity, what the protocol would be if the team got shut out on bear toss night, because it never happened to the Bears in their near-15 years of doing this.

The Bears got shut out today. By a goalie who had a 3.66 GAA and. 881 SVP in 19 or 20 games entering today, specifically.

Don't leave us hanging - what was the protocol?

Surely they just threw them after the game right??

Short answer: toss them at the end of the game.

Long answer: Protocol as given on the broadcast was that if the team didn't score by the 5 minutes to go mark of the 3rd period, an announcement would be made to not throw them on the ice even if the Bears scored and to wait until the end of the game to toss them. Cleanup for it usually takes a solid 45 minutes and they just wanted to get the rest of the game in. It was a 2-0 game (and wound up being a 2-0 final) so there was a chance for a comeback still.

The announcement was made at the first stoppage with less than five minutes left. The fans weren't happy and one even threw their stuffed animal on the ice right then and there, lol. There was a stoppage with 5.4 seconds left, so most of the fans just started throwing them then and the game was called.

Wilkes-Barre had their teddy bear toss against Hershey last month and scored their first (and only goal) very late into the 2nd period, but iirc they were going to have the fans throw them during the second intermission if they hadn't scored after two periods. So it might vary by team.

Forget bag skating- we punish players by making them bag teddy bears

My Aunt told me a story of when younger, her friend set her up on a date with a guy who played hockey(Jr. age). She said the date was fine but she didn't want to date a hockey player.

The guy was Bobby Orr.

Yup she did. Though she married an orthodontist and we all called her the rich Aunt. She made out ok.
