Video Clip: Last Night's Special NHL Overtime Goal



I haven't followed the NHL (National Hockey League) in years, but minutes ago I found out that the Montreal Canadiens defeated the Buffalo Sabres in overtime last night... it was Game 7, the series-deciding match.

My beloved Habs will move on to play the Carolina Hurricanes in Round Two, the "Eastern Conference Final".

Any wagers?....


Postscript: My claim of no longer following the league is authentic, but I was aware that Montreal was playing Buffalo. By the way, that goal was a "clink goal" — which is the best kind if your favourite team is the clinker'er, certainly when employing a series-deciding clink.

After watching the highlight again I noticed that Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, the Sabre's goaltender, was a little too far to his right... with goaltending equipment being ridiculously wide, and it's been this way for years, a shooter almost needs the goalie to be a pop out of position in order to score. I was a goalie and I remember letting in a goal where I wasn't standing in quite the right place... when goaltending equipment was of a proper size.
