Panarin celebrates too early, doesnt put puck into open net

[Johnny HFBOARDS]

Russell would have scored that one easy!

 

[Kyndig]

Kind of the opposite of this but still celebrating too early is never a good thing.

 

[JoVel]

Reminded me of this:



Couldn't find better quality.

Dude has bad eyes. He clearly thought the puck was going in when it really wasn't. lol

Here's a video of the play in real time, starts at the 10 minute mark:

doesn't look like a celly in real-time but the slow mo and reply is the truth

 

[Kathryn Tappen]

ouch. bet he'll never do that again though

 

[Maukkis]

Panarin will be skating home after that one.

I think this video vindicates him.

Panarin will never be the same after this embarrassing moment.

CBJ should hurry and trade him while he still has value.

I think anyone in that situation would have thought the puck was going in. Can't really tell from those videos if the puck caught Holtby's skate but it sure looked like the puck had all the momentum it needed to get in the net but took a weird bounce/turn and died before the line.

Someone should link the video with sound of the Caps TV guys calling the play (I am terrible with linking videos and technical stuff). I haven't defended the play in this thread and won't now. I believe Panarin could have and should have made sure that puck was in the net.

Yes indeed and I didn't even need the sarcasm emoji.

 

[McOvechking]

I can't tell which is funnier, the play itself or people trying to defend it by saying that Panarin was simply trying not to lose his balance.

 

[LeHab]

Not even remotely close to being as bad.

Stefan is arguably the biggest gaffe in sports history right there with Jim Marshall running the ball the wrong way (football fans know this well).

Had there been no tying goal the other way no one would remember stefan blunder.

 

[TheFinnishTrap]

Dunno, to me it looks like his stick gets lifted as he would be trying to swat it in, and he's already past the goal line when he could regain control. Probably didn't scramble as much as he could have because he thought it was going in, but it's not as bad as I thought.

 

[ThirdManIn]

I don't know, guys. It looked like he was celebrating at first, but the more I watched it the more I thought the stick lift put Panarin in an awkward spot and afterwards he was simply trying to avoid knocking the net off of the moorings. Why weren't there other Jackets players there for support? There were three Caps plus a goalie, but only one Jacket.
