Shoulder or elbow? Doesn't really matter. Patrick didn't look good at all. He's cursed.

Those very finely rebuilt Anaheim Ducks and their very good head coach Dallas Eakins just got blown up for a 7 spot after playing well enough last night to only allow 6 goals.

It was a clean hit! (According to the refs).
Wade Belak fights him over it in their next game.

Swiped from a main board thread (I’m not proud).

This would have been even funnier if he had scored, or if Seattle took a too many men penalty while this was happening. That's where I thought this was going at first when I saw the screenshot above with 6 guys numbered, before playing the video.

The mess of them still piled up in the corner manages to be more hilarious than that play
Kind of reminded me of the punt returns where everybody runs to one side and acts like the return is there when the actual returner is in the other side of the field.
Chris Kreider can't stop scoring goals and the Rangers can't stop winning. This season for the Rangers is such an aberration.
Igor is literally having the best non Hasek season ever. You'd have to be completely offensively inept to not win games with what he's giving you and they have enough fire power to give him the little support he requires. If it wasn't for the 2 Calgary games where he got shelled I'd say he's having hands down the greatest goaltending season ever so far

One thing about goaltending seasons: it’s not a season until it’s over and there’s months to go yet. (Not saying he’s not slaying, he really should be frontrunner for the Hart too at this point.)
I admit I hate comparing different historical eras. It would be interesting to compare Shesterkin to the last peak in goaltending around ~2008-11 (when Lundqvist, Thomas, Rinne, Quick etc were all kicking around.) There have been some individual great performances in seasons since but some of those seasons were just ridiculously stacked.
2010-11 was a pretty ludicrous Vezina year: Tim Thomas’ legendary season (yes, Thomas as a person was… yeah, but he was an elite goalie and that was an all-time great season) was the winner but the year was so stacked that Price’s second best season got him 5th place.
What is maybe Rinne’s best season is 2nd (he had 5 assists too! lol). Luongo loses again with season in VAN that is almost magnificent as his 1st one in 2006-07 (sorry, not sorry). Lundqvist was doing Lundqvist things in 4th.
And the 6th place winner is a low key favorite: the 30 year old Ilya Bryzgalov. That’s because his late career renaissance, he came in 2nd in voting the year before, got Paul Holmgren to sign him to a 9 year/5.67m deal that started in the 2011-12 season lol, (the equivalent to 6.89m w/ the current 81.5m cap). Thr Flyers bought out his contract two years later in June 2013. (They traded Bobrovsky in June 2012, for 2012 2nd, 2012 4th & 2013 4th, because they couldn’t afford both him and Bryzgalov lol.)
I digress. In 7th, @Bleedred all-time favorite goalie, Cam Ward, played 74 games and was an absolute horse for the Canes in what was by far his best regular season.
Then all tied at 8th: one of Fluery’s best seasons in Pittsburgh, Niemi’s 2nd best season in SJ that foreshadowed the big year that got him 3rd place in 2013, and an under-appreciated great season from Quick (that foreshadows some stuff coming in 2011-12 too).
This doesn’t quite perfectly capture the times because Kippersoff’s comeback year was in 2009-10 instead and Miller’s one all-time great season was in 2009-10 too. Rask’s amazing rookie season was in 2009-10 too but he scuffled slightly for a few seasons after that. Vokoun also had low key great season on crappy Florida team at age 33 in 2009-10 but was fading by the next season.
What this really proves is I really liked the goaltending of that period. (It was better then, I mumble while feebly waving my cane.)
