Post-Game Talk: The Laine Show. Jets Win 4-3 in OT

[Jets 31]

Ive had to rewatch the replay of that Laine OT goal about 6 or 7 times before i could process what actually transpired.

And i’ve come to the conclusion that i can honestly say I still have no idea how he glitch goaled that.

1st off, it looks as though he gains possession of the puck in along the corner of our d zone. Then he waits (for some odd reason) until the 2 Calagary players realize he has the puck. And then somehow he blastsoff from our corner of the Dzone (at the speed of light) after the Calgary players notice he has the puck. It almost looks like he’s fishing for a moment (cuz he could have skated up the ice sooner) before he decides to blast off up the boards.

Then it looks like he shoots (fans or gets poked), but then somehow he recouped the puck after he lost possession (in a 0.025 millisecond time frame) and then he somehow sniped it the same way he originally planned on doing so...

Either-way. I cant slow it down enough to understand what happened there, but definitely an Absolute Unreal Talented goal.

I believe the Calgary players thought Laine was going to pass the puck but Hulk , oops, Laine fooled them and took off with the puck. Laine fanned on his first shot but got it right back and fired it home. You gotta be good to be lucky.
