Jeesh, he picked that corner so deliberately. Low and far, quick and deadly; deadly accurate.
I'm going on a rant here but goalies today aren't even looking at where the shots go because it's probably too fast. Back in the day, you had to slap the puck to get it to 80+ mph but now players with the composite sticks can whip it to those speeds and they are so close to the net, meaning less time to react henceforth the new technique of simply dropping to your knees and making yourself look big and hope it hits you.
Goalies are statistically better today than they were back say, 20-25 years ago, but are they really more athletic? The closest goalie I can compare to modern day style is Patrick Roy with his butterfly technique but some of the most proficient goalies who stood tall and was still effective especially down low were guys like Bill Ranford, Grant Fuhr and Kirk McLean. Nets haven't increased in size and a few inches here and there from the person's height isn't going to cover anymore of the net, it's the equipment that's given them the edge. Ranford was 5'11, McLean was 6'0 or 6'1 but if they saw the shot, they could kick them out with the best of them.
I'd take guys in the prime like Ranford, McLean, Ritcher, Roy over any of the goalies today, if equipment were equal.
Этот вратарь первый или второй раз вышел играть за всю свою карьеру в НХЛ, понятно, что ему и накидали шайб. Радости мало, слабому вратарю забивать, в следующем матче опять проиграют

The absolute GOAT. He needs to play until he hits a 1000
Защитник даже не пытался помешать

красава!
He looked like he put 50% effort into that snapshot.

На заднем плане когда Ови устремляется к воротам,на скамейке все встали в ожидании что их кэп сейчас забьет
Наш слон
THE GREAT ONE!!! OVI ❤LOVE FROM PA
goat!
And I want to mark Thompson's game, he's a great goalkeeper, make a separate issue about him.
💥993/916❗️🏒19-й в сезоне, 23 до Грецки🏒✌️
Ovi now differs from Ovi young. Now he is an accurate sniper with high intuition.
Это обновление рекорда ? Еще один вратарь пропустил от Ови ? Сколько их теперь ?
keep er' going !!

At this point he’s just collecting his checks lol.
Уэйну Гретски осталось 23 шайбы чтобы догнать Овечкина
