that game was a rough watch
First time
I’m not a wild fan but I grew up as a wingnut in the 90s and 2000s and so I was a big fan of Sergei Fedorov. I knew all about how he did this in KHL and so the second you talked about pulling the goalie. That’s where my mind went so I think it’s a gutsy move and we’ll see how it changes overtime going forward!
Lmao i explained the ot rules to my wife about the point at end of regulation time weather you win or loose and the first words she said is " awww participation trophies in the NHL" lmao
It's worth noting that a caveat to rule 84.2 exists where if the goalie is pulled due to a delayed penalty and scores an own goal the team still gets the loser point. This rule is purely for teams being extra aggressive, not for teams making typical plays and messing up.
The rule about forfeiting your ot point actually predates 3on3 in the nhl. Iirc it comes from like the early 2000s when the kings needed 2 pts to make the playoffs and so they didnt mind potentially throwing the game by pulling goalie in OT because they needed a full win or nothing mattered anyway.
I think i have seen this before, but it was back in the day of 4 on 4 ot and no shootouts. and in game 82 they ( i think it was the islanders) needed 2 points to make the playoffs.
There's balls and then there's this
That was brilliant. Bettman can take his anti-fun rules and go fuck himself
the forfeiting the loser point predates 3v3 ot
What a dumb rule
Great move …. extremely stupid rule !!! Anything is better than the the pathetic shootouts
I saw this a few times, but not with this many games left in the season. I've seen it on the last day or the last few days of the season where a team would've been eliminated if they didn't win
I was listening to this on the radio, and I heard the play by play guys baffled… no penalty. Then 15 seconds later, they scored…. gutsy call by the coach… awesome!
i’m an islanders fan, obviously i could see patrick roy trying this. but dear god please don’t let this become a thing, my anxiety couldn’t handle it
I've seen this before. In 1990, the Flyers were on the brink of finishing last for the first time in franchise history. In the final game of the season and trailing the Penguins by a point but if they tie in points the Flyers would finish ahead based on head to head record. They went to overtime in the last game of the season and in the final minute they pulled the goalie. The game ended in a tie and they finished last.
tbh I have to give minnisota credit for playing relatively well despite having 14mil in dead cap
I remember that LAK pulled the goalie at Boston in 2017 I believe.. it was OT with 0.3 on the clock and they scored, wild game (it was on a FO in the offensive zone).
This is not the first time Marc-Andre Fleury was involved in something like this!
In 2002, in the QMJHL, the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles pulled Fleury for overtime during their final regular season game against the Halifax Mooseheads. They were tied in points, but Halifax held the tiebreaker, so a loss changed nothing. The Eagles needed that 2nd point to finish ahead of Halifax. It was made known through the broadcast in overtime that if Halifax scored with the Eagles' net empty, the Eagles would lose the point they earned for tying.
The game ended tied anyways.
There's a rule that says there is a minor penalty when a goalie crosses the center ice line and participates in the play in any manner. What's the definition of "in any matter". One could argue that coming to the bench to facilitate another team mate entering the game and participating in the play is "in any matter". Nashville should have challenged the obvious missed call and forced the league to define this stupid ass rule.
I'd like to see the rule about forfeiting the extra point in case of being scored on with goalie pulled in OT removed. If you're willing to take the risk, then you should be allowed to do it without the disincentive. As it stands, what would happen if both teams pulled their goalies and played 4×4? It's a ridiculous scenario, but possible.
Well, shouldn't it work out that the Preds don't get points? Like you know what I mean? If you have a chance to get no points then it's like taking the point from the other team
Also in that note, if a team has an extra player on the ice then icing should automatically be waved off.
I would bet on the other team getting a empty net goal any day.
It's happened before. Keep your panties on.
4v3 is WAY more of an advantage than 5v4. However i had no idea about that rule. Makes sense going for it if you have possession and there's a minute left. You can control the play till the buzzer, only going for high quality shots.
Never heard that rule! Weird. I guess there are some teams that will kill you in the shootout so maybe you just go for it? Seems too risky. Best to play it safe and keep the one point. I wonder about having a 3 point system for regulation wins? Too many are happy to drag the game into extra innings, but if there were an incentive for winning in 60 minutes, many more teams would make the game very interesting.
If Minnesota makes the playoffs this will be the decision to remember.
Pretty ballsy
I was freaking out. The Wild are showing a ton of fight and are going to fight till they are eliminated or do the unthinkable and make the playoffs
Why would the NHL have that rule for overtime? It's stupid, you should be aloud to pull your goalie in overtime without being punished.
Not sure why this surprises anyone. Minnesota needed the extra point to remain in contention for a playoff spot. They need to gain ground whenever they can.
I’m a Ducks fan I was watching this game on espn + and was in shock like that’s gutsy I tip my hat to the Wild head coach
Weird, a couple weeks ago I was just thinking if it was worth it to try once.
What a cringe rule though lol
Interesting
That rule is so dumb.
Patrick Roy thinking "Why didn't I think of that?"
It happens in KHL quite often now. In only 5 times in a past 2 season that I went to a hockey game, my team managed to score a goal like this and lost once while goalie was on the bench 🥹 Love and hate it in the same time tbh
As a wild fan I love that move as there is really nothing to lose. If you wanna get to playoffs you need every point, shootout is always a bit of a cointoss.. if it didn’t work out, then it really doesn’t matter if it’s 1 or 0 points, it would pretty much still ended dreams for playoffs
Clicking them baits!!!!!!!!!!! Big L
I didn't know about this rule, but it makes sense. Without it teams would do this all the time. Thanks.
It happens a lot end of seasons. It happened so Often which is why the rule you mentioned was in place in the first place.
It makes sense. Probably should research before posting this click bait.
Unsubscribed.
This is totally bulshit next 5 years no more nhl hockey
We might just see a new trend
