This, I cheered for no penalty shot lmaoI’m glad they didn’t just give Barkov the penalty shot. That would have sucked.
I’m pretty sure Shesterkin stops it and the game continues.

And some very good passing just prior to the shot. Excellent execution by Florida.you can afford to be super agressive on the pk with a goalie of that caliber. it honestly took a rocket top bar down to beat him a legit perfect shot anything other he makes the save
Do we know the history of NHL playoff overtime penalty shots?I’m glad they didn’t just give Barkov the penalty shot. That would have sucked.

*Issac Poulter intensifies*The scary part is that Shesterkin probably is/will be better than Lundqvist.
And Lundqvist was than Richter, who was still a very good goalie and one that I was a fan of and wished we had him over Sean Burke lol.
When are we gonna catch our break again?
I'm sure game's have been ended on them before, but I honestly can't remember many.Do we know the history of NHL playoff overtime penalty shots?

Clearly at play last night as that was text book.I'm sure game's have been ended on them before, but I honestly can't remember many.
I wonder a series has ever been ended on before?
My guess is that officials really try as hard as they can to not call a penalty shot in overtime of a playoff game.
It's still frustrating that they have 3 elite goalies in a row and while we've had the best of them all, we've had a whole lot shit other than him.We could have had Cujo but I think we ended up with the better of all that.
he charged over from the crease to the mid boards in order to throw a pointless hit after the puck had already been passed, leaving a 2 on 1 down low. very dumb. i doubt very much the rangers pk is taught to do that lol. boneheaded play from a guy who routinely makes boneheaded plays, there's no excusing it.no....you're always gunna be down 1 man short. What do you mean took himself away from the most dangerous part of the ice? Was the other d-man supposed to go pressure Tkachuk then? Were they supposed to have 2 guys in the slot? Like I said, that's more of a passive pk strategy, which they don't use. The hatred against Trouba is blinding you guys.
I'd argue it's on him that he didn't win that puck battle more than him "taking himself out of position", also on the other guy for not reacting to the pass fast enough.
Did he at the very least go in with a high or extended elbow?!?he charged over from the crease to the mid boards in order to throw a pointless hit after the puck had already been passed, leaving a 2 on 1 down low. very dumb. i doubt very much the rangers pk is taught to do that lol. boneheaded play from a guy who routinely makes boneheaded plays, there's no excusing it.
Why can teams gameplan this in the playoffs but not the reg season?
A defenceman pressuring the wings is not an incredibly difficult concept. heck I'd think that would be one of those in game adjustments everyone is always clamoring for.Because there's 82 games and 31 different opponents. Nobody is scheming on how to beat a specific opponent on a given night, there just isn't time to do that.
As a Whalers fan Burkie was a childhood hero. He would singlehandedly keep those horrifically bad Whalers teams in games and IMO is historically underrated because much of his career was spent on those bad Whalers/Canes teams.It's still frustrating that they have 3 elite goalies in a row and while we've had the best of them all, we've had a whole lot shit other than him.
Other than 3 years of Cory before he kicked the bucket at only 30 years old and with pretty low mileage for 30 years old.
We've had other good goalies, who weren't really that good of goalies while they were here. Kirk McLean and Sean Burke being thetwo biggest names.
McLean was really young when he was here and didn't get much of a chance. Burke was a way better goalie later on in his career (some guy that's a goalie coach for the Rangers had a lot to do with that) than the stand-up version we had here.
I’m glad they didn’t just give Barkov the penalty shot. That would have sucked.

I think the Oilers people are calling the rest of the league to see what they'll give up for him.Fitz is calling Skinners agent as we speak
