Last night in Edmonton. Third period, ten seconds left, Stars up 5-4 with control of the puck and an empty net in front of them. And then, and then…
It’s a metaphor for Jamilgate.
Cause for hope: They went on to win the overtime shootout.
Update: Iraqi guys named “Hussein” just aren’t easy to find. Well, some are.

A study in male/female differences. My wife and I are sitting on the couch, watching the video. Our reactions?
Her: “Oh, poor guy!”
Me: “Ha. Loooser!”
Our daughter, however, offered no opinion.

I could not show my face again if I were that guy.

Damn…is that all it takes to play hockey? I could do that!

I woulda just laid there… I had a muscle spasm!
Then gone into rehab…
(I HATE hockey)

As someone who played hockey for 20 years there isn’t one of us that that hasn’t happened to once or twice. Now, it happens 10-15 times a game when the puck hits a rough piece of ice and jumps over our sticks but every one of us has had it happen at least once with an empty net. What made this news was that the other team scored 6 seconds later.

Now, if he would have actually shot and missed, THAT would have been funny!
Capitalist Infidel on January 5, 2007 at 8:01 PM
Lord. Poor guy. Talk about taking you eye off of the ball.. er puck.
BacaDog on January 5, 2007 at 8:01 PM
Man… that sucks. In the slo-mo you can clearly see the puck hop up after hitting a bump in the ice or something.

The blasphemy on hockey badmouthing must end, or I will attack with a mongolian food processor.
My wrath knows no boundries. Does that make me a democrat?

It was a better result than when Derek Harper ran out the clock in a Maverick 1984 playoff game and the game was tied.

Hockey does suck.

Great highlight!
The hockey fans will be watching the two most exciting teams in the league right now – Sabres/Pens.
The new rules are saving hockey. I gave up on the NHL in 1993, but it’s back and better than ever. No more clutch/grab. No more pointless wistles. Only talented youngsters skating free.

Wow! You were right! I watched it a second time to see what you were talking about!
Sharp eyes! I missed it the first time!

I thought Edmonton had the best ice in the NHL?
Great ceremony Tuesday night when the Red Wings retired Yzerman’s #19.

All the players say they do. The goalie and the traffic in the crease probably hacked it up in the 3rd period. Poor guy – that’s the most embarrassing highlight i’ve seen since the football player ran a fumble into the wrong end-zone then trew the ball into the crowd before his teammates got him.
forest on January 5, 2007 at 9:56 PM
I watched that game last night and saw this… It was pathetic then, and still is.
ricer1 on January 5, 2007 at 10:39 PM
At least Dallas went on to win it in the shootout…
ricer1 on January 5, 2007 at 10:41 PM
that just sucks man, gotta feel bad for that schmucky puck
Defector01 on January 5, 2007 at 11:11 PM
Ya, it was a bad hop, fluke play. Announcer went a bit overboard. Ok, a lot overboard…

“CAN YOU….BELIEVE…..WHAT WE JUST SAW?!”
Reminds me of my reaction every time I watch the evening news on one of the “big three.”
And the answer is always:
NO.

Man, Chicken Parm’ was pissed! He played with that cat so I guess he’s been exposed to how he can sand bag it at times….
All I can say is it couldn’t have happened to a nicer set of teams; GO SHARKS!!!!!!
liquidflorian on January 6, 2007 at 4:03 AM
It is like poor Jim Marshall picking up the football and running the wrong way for a “touchdown.”
TwinkietheKid on January 6, 2007 at 8:01 AM
I don’t see what the big deal is. Terrel Owens does essentially the same thing every game when the ball whiffs, once again, through his multi-million dollar hands.
Blacklake on January 6, 2007 at 12:44 PM
Hey maybe the Boston Red Soxs should sign him… they haven’t had a good one like this in years!
Bob on January 6, 2007 at 12:59 PM
Looks like he lost an edge on his skate to me. Unforgivable still…
