okay so this just happened so i dont have a link yet but seriously, leafs are on the PP and davison from the NY islanders shoots from 174' away and beats toskala! ive been laughing for like 20 minutes at least.

oh and on the same broadcast i couldve sworn i heard the NYI guys saying that joey macdonald has like 3 fights this year in the AHL? is this true?

trust me, this will be on every blooper reel for like 50 years. sure it took a funny bounce at the last second but nevertheless end to end shorthanded goals that go past a goalie dont happen to often...if ever. unless youre playing nhl08 because they happen all the damn time in that game.

The Leafs are lucky this wasn't a home game, or else Toskala would hear those sarcastic cheers for the rest of the game each time he handled the puck.

Hell, he will probably hear it anyway the next time the Leafs have a home game.

Nah, he has played amazing for them all year. I doubt he will hear a peep. Its not like this game means anything, the Leafs are done and everyone knows it.

Raycroft, absolutely. Toskala, probably not.

He'll be applauded for helping the Leafs get higher in the draft lottery.

Yikes.

While that definitely should've been stopped obviously, we've seen goofy shots from deep every now and then. I can easily recall three from goofy bounces involved in Detroit games. Langenbrunner on Osgood against Dallas in the playoffs in 1998, Lidstrom on Cloutier in the playoffs in 2002, and Datsyuk's goofy knuckleball goal from the blueline at St. Louis early this season against Legace. Tommy Salo's bad goal against Belarus probably deserves mentioning as well in the 2002 Olympics.

They are definitely few and far between but it does occur.

It's not bad luck or the fact that the puck was knuckling. Get your damn body in front of it. Don't just try to use your glove to stop it. If someone taught him to try to stop the puck that way that person should be shot.

I'd like to see Dom doing the snowman trying to save that one. :ph34r:

Dom's not the goalie I think of when it comes to letting in shots like that one. Why would you say this? :unsure:

And why would you try to turn this thread into yet another Hasek bashing thread?

lol, no not at all. I just got a funny mental picture of him flopping around trying to save that shot. Not that he would possibly do that, just a weird thought. No disrespect.
