It’s been a tough year for Joonas Korpisalo and the Ottawa Senators as a whole. They had given up a goal on the first or 2nd shot of the game 20 times this season and had done it in their last 3 games in a row and after a 4 3 loss to New Jersey Saturday, they were officially eliminated from the playoffs coming into last nights matchup against the Washington Capitals. While they ALMOST gave up a goal on the first shot again, Chychrun was able to block an open net to avoid it. However, while they didn’t scored on with the first shot, they did, once again get scored on with the Capitals 2nd shot. But like a sign from the Hockey Gods, during play suddenly the Sun blinded Korpisalo! This, at an indoor hockey game. It was something I have never personally seen in an NHL game and the odds of it happening the day before a Solar Eclipse are pretty insane. As for the game, it was a good one that saw the Senators come back to push it to overtime. I cover it all in todays NHL hockey video!

The Solar Eclipse came early!
Everytime I bet with My capitals they make me lose money smh 10 dollars could have been 1500 if they just knew how to win a game when I needed it🥲 what makes ut worse the senators are trash in a away games so wtf
Not a Caps fan, but I want them to make the playoffs. However, the way they play is like they don't want to. They can't even keep the lead what so ever.
I remember a game from Buffalo in April or May way back, maybe 30 years ago, where there was extensive fog in the arena. They had to stop the game and get all the players on the ice skating around to stir up the air and clear the fog.
21 times in the first 2 shots of the game is fucking rough
The Lord was calling Korpisalo home, but the goalie denies the request by winning the outcome of the game. Korpisalo was like… No, it is not my time yet I have the game through the bitter end. 😂
So glad the clown Brady Tkachuk miss playoff. He is just an over paid clown!
Sun stops Indoor hockey game….ok.
It reminds me of a couple of places in Peru where the Incas carved things in the mountains. On one day of the year, the sun would shine through a hole and illuminate another carving several miles away. I believe this was due to their lack of ice hockey.
I think this is how Stonehenge determines when spring starts.
Do your research this happened at the old Spectrum in Philadelphia
Someone forgot to close the curtains in the outer foyer of the stadium and light was traveling down onto the ice surface and in the eyes I'm not just the goalie but the defenseman also check your history…
To be fair, Korpi's golden mask looks even better with the light reflecting directly on it ✨️
Wait…. You can call a time out so you have more time to review a play? I thought that had to be done on the fly
I always say that every game (any sport) I go to, I see something weird that has never happened before.
Well…there were 2 uncovered players infront. Where is the defenseman or center to help out?

Congratulations to John Carlson celebrating his 1000th game…all as a Cap!
Props to that usher in Washington that knew the sun was in line with Korpisalo and opened the curtain mid-game.
Sonny Milano played for the late Tim Alexander in Cleveland with the Barons and the Goebel family owns the barons – doug hauser played for the barons in 1978 after he graduated from Padua Franciscan HS with mike glover – Otis Plageman coached at the barons
Yah, that sun thing has happened before, in a Stanley Cup game sometime in the seventies, I believe
This is Beee Utiful!! Moves the Detroit Red Wings in a good place!!
In all the years that I watched Hockey Night in Canada, I've never seen a game halted because of interference from the sun coming through a window and blinding a goal-tender. I guess the positive from this is that it will feature on many a high-"light" video!
I remember when this happened to Roy back in the day at the old forum.
Caps owner has bummed some money from taxpayers to repair the arena.
2:20 now we all know why the Capitals and Wizards need a new home badly
To see Chychrun leave AZ since we can't score enough only to end up on a team that's rock bottom as well is sweet
Korpisallo should’ve stayed in LA
4:08 offside for sure
Makes his gold lid look amazing though 😀
I remember this happening few times here in Finland, at the old arena in Tampere, of the top league teams of Ilves and Tappara. It was in the 90's and the goalie waving to the officials was young Vesa Toskala in one game.
I recall this happening in
Vancouver with Luongo
Not in the NHL but I've definitely seen blinding sun it in beer league.
Rapture coming may 19 so don’t matter 🤷
Everyone gets their moment in the Sun I guess
4:08 sure looks like offsides! Carbs must have not had a good video angle to look at, unless the eclipse blinded him from challenging!
This isn't the first time this happened. My boyfriend and I have been going to Caps games for years. Roughly ten years ago, before an afternoon game against the Rangers, the game was delayed for a few minutes because the sun was in Henrik Lundqvist's face. I think they had to close the curtains in the club seating to fix the issue.
Feel bad for the architect, dude calculated this event and made cool spectacle with a damn perfect calculations but every one is just angry.
Ripping a letter off the board ads….a start in the right direction. Let's see this become a trend.
Blinded by the light
Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
The sens are a joke at this point
