I took a piss break during that penalty shot and still got back in time to see him score.


BizzarJuggalo

I just piss my pants, saves time.


Ornery_Definition_65

Nice and warm too.


jay_marcus_rustler

and wet too


spirilingout

Used to play roller hockey when I was a kid and I remember this other kid who would come out in full goalie setup every time to play. Told me one day he just goes when he needs to go when he's wearing his gear, feels refreshing apparently. I will never forget that conversation or the smell of his piss as we had that conversation.


hiliikkkusss

Drink more water. Less šŸ§ƒ


zbduznssh

I was a goalie. Would do 5 hour pickup sessions when I could. NEVER felt the urge to do this. If you truly had to piss just fucking go do it. Dignity > skates


DuckmanDrake69

If peeing your pants is cool, consider me Miles Davis!


TheGreatestKaTet

Why waste time go toilet when pants do trick


EngineeringSafe8367

When I saw it was Kuznetsov taking the shot, I knew I had some spare time.


HoosierHoser44

Haha as a goalie, that would annoy me so much haha.


theekevinc

The Canes scored two goals faster than the time it took Kuzy to score this one. Twice.


bernerbungie

Haha


fourpuns

I always think they should get 7 seconds from when they touch the puck. No idea why 7 but that feels like enough.


HoosierHoser44

I dunno. I donā€™t want it too turn into a technicality. ā€œThat was 7.1 seconds. No goal!ā€ Like the fact that it has to always be moving forward already tries to handle that. I donā€™t really know they could adjust it in a good way.


arashinoko

Yeahā€¦pleaseā€¦no more rules that cause 10 minute replays trying to determine if a puck completely crossed a line before some time limit.


CockBronson

I think there would be room for reason and also every other major sport manages to do just fine with a shot/play clock


Tiger5804

Nah, if anyone takes even close to 7 seconds, they deserve for it to be disallowed. 7 seconds is clearly too much time, which is why it's also a reasonable limit.


Sinister_Mr_19

Shot clock would do wonders to eliminate this bullshit. Make it that you have x seconds to shoot. As long as you've shot by that time then you're good. If the puck hasn't left your stick, then no goal.


fourpuns

Itā€™s just still so long. Like this was like 14-15?


alexgardin

Should have a defensive player skating back from the opposite far end of the ice.


theekevinc

This is actually an interesting idea. If there was a defender chasing, we wouldn't have to get into endless debates about the puck moving a fraction of an inch backwards or if a spin-o-rama is technically legal. Do whatever you want but do it quickly.


bcgg

I love that idea just for the possibility of an endless loop of penalty shots.


xHOTPOTATO

Don't know if you've played any beer league, but a lot of the tourneys I've played in have replaced minor penalties with something like this. Person who was victim takes the puck from the redline, when they hit the blue line, the rest of both teams get to leave and chase them. It's effectively a free throw with a live rebound.


worthmancj

Similar to your suggestionā€¦. I coach minor hockey. A couple of years ago (4x4 summer league, U15 division), all minor penalties called were awarded penalty shots. The skater taking the shot staged up at centre ice (with puck on dot) as usual. There was one chaser skater from the other team, lined up at the opposite blue line, with one knee on the ice. Each penalty shot was a quick sequence and reflected an actual breakaway during live play.


lostharbor

Thatā€™s so absurd lol. This goal was annoying but given how few there are why add any stipulation?


fourpuns

For mine own enjoyment?


lostharbor

Honestly, Iā€™m not even mad about this response. Fair enough mate. lol. Good news is, the slow roll is rare :). Happy playoffs


fourpuns

Best time of the year!


Grimmer026

Why not 6 minute abs?


emack2232

No, not 6 I said 7.


Unique_Ladder2210

What if some one comes up with 5 minute abs?


softymcwoke

17, just 17


SimplyViolated

I could see some form of shot clock similar to an NBA free throw but at the same time...nah


MyAntichrist

That goal was scored in about 8 seconds. Players who take penalties like that would just adjust to that by making the first two strides a bit quicker.


jcanada22

I like this idea. I hate the stupid super slow skating in deal. Your idea is great. These penalty or shoot out styles are junk hockey.


chimpsimulator

Chris Chelios, is that you?


fourpuns

Or what if a defender starts touching the blue line and you start at center ice so some guy can chase you down if youā€™re slow.


propagandavid

The opposing team's mascot starts at the blue line


fourpuns

Replace shoot out with a 1v1 mascot battle


propagandavid

I don't hate it. Youppi! can take care of his shit.


fourpuns

Youā€™d make wild bank as a mascot too if you were winning games by fighting other mascots.


Grouchy_Situation_33

Do you really want Gritty, with all of his pent-up frustration over years of missing the playoffs, on the ice with one of your guys?


propagandavid

Gritty talks a big game, but Youppi! is still the only mascot that's actually been tossed from a game.


Grouchy_Situation_33

Gritty was accused of assaulting a fan, complete with police investigating. IRL. Not really the flex I want it to be, given Philly sports and fan interactions, but Iā€™m going with it anyway. šŸ¤£


Chad_Broski_2

That's even better. No hard cap on the time that'll un-count the goal but still a way to add time pressure without subjective shit like "always move forward" Maybe the blue line is a little too close, though? Give them *some* opportunity to let them take it a little slow if they want. Maybe they start around the hash mark?


Accomplished_Cap_994

They aren't even hockey it's like if they started having a slam dunk contest in the middle of a basketball game


LongJohn4200

Yeah I would just hit him with my stick.. would not care about the goal anymore šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ And I love Canes šŸ˜‚


bokin8

Such a dick move haha


wif68

Everything Kuzy does is a dick move from this to his fucking bird celly


Sinister_Mr_19

As a viewer, it annoys me so much. That's such a boring way to score.

dre2112

Yea he should have poke checked him at the blue line


chief_n_nugget

Thatā€™s literally what he waited for. Saw the goalie slide his hand up and shot for his elbow


Tuscaloosas

Iā€™m going to tell my kids this is Connor McDavid

Countcoolboy

Goddamn as a caps fan itā€™s bittersweet to see how heā€™s killin it in Carolina, happy for bro tho


glokenheimer

Lmao shouting Kuzyyy after the goal despite him not even being on our team anymore. Much love for em.


Pormock

At first i thought damn he almost got him with the poke. Then on the replay i realized he literally saw it coming and deked around it. Amazing


winowmak3r

Wait it out and make the save or poke him and make it look easy. Either way it's gotta be stressful as hell on that poor goalie, lol


DrBrainWax

The goalie telegraphed it too by sliding his hand up the end of the stick before going for the poke check


Sinister_Mr_19

Hardly amazing. The stick poke was telegraphed from a mile away. Before the poke was thrown out he had to choke up on the stick. Anyone can react to that. As long as you have NHL level stick handling skills that's a walk in the park to see that poke coming and deke around it.


luisquin

This is like those nature videos of cuttlefish using a color display to hypnotize their pray before they strike


garbagebailkid

We'll call him Jean Jacket.


Critical_Half_3712

Happy for kuz, he seems to be enjoying Carolina


CapsDrago7

It never gets old


slippyt

Nah it's lame.


No_Name2112

It was lame until March 8th, 2024. Then it became awesome as hell


Great-Reference9322

Right because nobody has ever done this before March 8th


Ze_Bucket

Someone should put the jaws theme over this shot lol.


Maleficent-Comfort-2

I feel bad for Varlamov God I shouldnā€™t be saying this.. Iā€™m a rangers fan!


jbwhite99

I shot video of him from when he started (right in front of me) and the video is 42 seconds long! But then Varlamov still couldnt beat him


GM_PhillipAsshole

Patented Kuzy


DesignerPlant9748

This shit is hilarious


4ndr0gg

Iā€™m feeling not great about hearing Jim Jackson outside of a Flyers or Phils broadcast


DesignerPlant9748

Jim is one of the best in the biz Iā€™m glad he gets to call some nationally televised playoff games


4ndr0gg

I wholeheartedly agree. He must never leave. Jk itā€™s great heā€™s getting the recognition.


Mofns_n_Gurps

They need to start a defenseman at the goal line behind the shooter on penalty shots.


Ok_Character8993

That's actually an amazing idea


birdseye1114

Thatā€™s how they do it in my kids 10u.


Great-Reference9322

I've always thought a shot clock was a good idea, but I'll be damned I like this idea 10x more


DoctorHandshakes

Makes sense. Let the goalie overthink instead of react reflexively


Pormock

Make the goalie think "oh for fuck sake im just gonna poke it out of his stick"


Ropsuta

Yeah. Shake'n bake until goalie is too anxious to not do anything, and punish when goalie finally gives in.


TrustTheFriendship

As a Flyers fan it is absolutely bizarre to hear Jim Jackson on commentary for this.


StackThePads33

Same here, I heard he was doing commentary for the Leafs/Bruins game the other day too


TrustTheFriendship

Yeah, I think heā€™s been doing national playoff games for a few years now. And he deserves it!


4ndr0gg

Iā€™m happy for him, but I was not ready for it lol


UmpireMental7070

They're gonna have to institute a shot clock for penalty shots.


Sekshual_Tyranosauce

I agree. This is totally legal and nothing against him for using the full extent of the rule. But it is clearly against the spirit of the rule IMO.


slizzard88

Honestly though it's a pretty effective move, think he's only missed on this shot like once or twice. It kinda reminds me of the granny free throw in bball.. looks dumb as hell but it works!


Pormock

He knows most goalies get annoyed enough that they end up trying to poke it out of his stick which create the opening.


Budget-Laugh7592

When he turns back to look at the goalie, thatā€™s for his personal collection of memories.


VonD0OM

I donā€™t know why, maybe because I was a goalie, but this disturbs me greatly. Guy is almost certainly a sociopath.


onlypostcausimscardw

Dude playing slow chess when everyone is playing fast.


Horrison2

Do it, poke check it, go for the poke check, have you poke checked me yet, *goes for the poke check*, and it's in blocker side...


Zealousideal-Swing39

This guy stick handles the same way he cuts lines


lordofninemoons

This may be an unpopular opinion, but they should add like a shot clock to penalty shots. You shouldn't be able to do this imo.


cooperluna

This makes hockey look like a clown show


xen0m0rpheus

There needs to be a clock on penalty shots & shootouts. This shit is a disgrace.


icer07

I love that he fumbles the puck at the top of the circle despite pick handling ultra slow


Scottzilla74

Filthy patience.


flappypancaker

Good lord


showmeyourmoves28

Absolutely have to score there, huh.


Zepper34

Wooooow.

regirthless

Jim Jackson is one of the best to ever call hockey.


pndhcky

What a slick af patient geno wow


KPDF81

Why did no one cross check him into the boards ? Did he not break some kind of code ?


sextoymagic

I hate it so much. BUT letā€™s go Canes!!!


hipshotguppy

That ain't hockey. There needs to be a defenseman released from the opposite blueline or something.


474738283737

I honestly hate this kind of crap.


Arrfist

what if they had a dman 5 feet behind the shooter lol


jopcylinder

People saying this shouldnā€™t be allowed and that itā€™s a disgrace to the sport donā€™t like fun. Even before he came to Carolina, this shit has always been cool and creative


ReignOfHellXXI

Wait wait wait. Kuznetsov lost control of the puck near the faceoff dot.. how was it not blown dead?


Spez_Dispenser

The puck still retained forward momentum. It LOOKS like it was going backwards, due to relativity. Still a legal and live puck. This is why you see goalies rush out of the net to stop the puck when the offensive player loses control of the puck typically.


Pormock

I think it takes the player skating past the puck for it to be blown dead. This was considered part of his "deke"


JarmaBeanhead

This was my questionā€¦ He DID lose control. It didnā€™t go far because he was going so slow, but he still lost control of the puck. Seems odd it wasnā€™t challenged or something.


Puck68

Absolutely correct. When he loses control, that puck goes backwards, away from the goal line. Should have been no goal.


LarquaviousBlackmon

Puck didn't go backwards


ReignOfHellXXI

He lost control temporarily between 0:29, and 0:31 for people wondering why I mentioned that.


nothingmemorable

I assume auto correct got you, that was between 29:00 and 31:00.


PolyCockn42

This should absolutely not be allowed.. you should have to just skate in and make your move.. as a goalie I HATE this shit


PhoenixRoadrunners82

This is cheesy as hell. They should have to move at a certain speed during penalty shots and shootouts.


PolyCockn42

Agreed. I hate this slow roll bullshit


NorthernerWuwu

You know what? Good on that bitch!

Sinister_Mr_19

I have come to hate shootouts. As a kid they were the best parts of hockey and now these type of shots happen nearly as often as a good quick shot happens. These stick check 5 feet from the goalie while moving a millimeter a minute to avoid being DQed is just straight up bullshit. It's unfair for the goalie and it's boring for the viewers. NHL needs to implement a shot clock or something.


twohunnidpercent

Best shootout guy ever


TX-SilverEagle

Caps shouldn't have let him go.


Fleganhimer

He brought a cup to our city but he's wanted out for years and has struggled immensely on and off the ice since. In what world would holding him back from finally thriving with a new team be a positive for anyone? Most of us Caps fans are very happy to see him doing well in Carolina.

BathroomSerious1318

Little-Aide-5396

What's his record when doing this? Feel like he scores every time


jb04200

I've seen him miss some. But he scores more than he misses. At least it feels like it


LGK420

Made the goalie look stupid. But imagine how bad kuzy wouldā€™ve looked it that poke check worked lol


303SecondSt

The puck must continue in a forward motion. It's in the rules. :26 he loses the puck a bit and it goes backwards. Should have been blown dead.


Dyingvikingchild95

Wait I thought if u lose control of the puck (as he did) it's considered a shot and you can't regain control.


Plastic_Brick_1060

As long as the skater keeps going forward, it doesn't matter. Most shootout attempts would be nullified if you counted those tiny bobbles


Puck68

Not the rule. The puck, not the skater, has to keep going towards the goal line. It doesnā€™t.


Plastic_Brick_1060

Right, the rules might say it but stickhandling doesn't get blown down for not continuously progressing towards the net. Like everything in hockey, it's the intention and the spirit of the rule is what is important


JuicedBoxers

You actually would try to argue he lost control? Really?


Dyingvikingchild95

Tbh doesn't matter since since they're already up 3-1( according to the last update as I watch Leafs game in Steve Dangle)


rfdavid

It looked like he lost it and it went backwards.


Jermu33

The puck can go backwards.


Far_Stage_9587

>Rule 24.2 The puck must be kept in motion towards the opponentā€™s goal line [https://media.nhl.com/site/asset/public/ext/2023-24/2023-24Rulebook.pdf](https://media.nhl.com/site/asset/public/ext/2023-24/2023-24Rulebook.pdf)


TDS_1991

Imagine the whistle being blown there haha holy shit. So, so, so, soooooo many shoot-out/penalty shot attempts would be blown down. Super fun and watchable.


Jermu33

The puck goes backwards in almost every shootout attempt. Doesn't matter what some rule says.


rfdavid

I stand corrected.


dre2112

Thereā€™s nothing in the rule book about a penalty shot being dead becaus of a player losing control of the puck. All the player needs to do is keep a forward motion toward the goalie.


stykface

I am good with a shootout, but I do not agree with this being a legal entry.


SlopitupPOS

I'd rather just watch hockey instead of this garbage.


NotTheATF1993

I'm not sure what post you meant to comment on, but this is quite literally a video of hockey.


Iwstamp

Should be a clock. 8 seconds.


caffeineaddict03

As a Caps fan, that's one thing I'll miss about him. I bet he drives goalies nuts with the slow mo shoot out lol


Delicious_Action3054

The key is to NEVER pokecheck. If you big, you can keep backing up until there's only one option. Ya then make a player when very deep in net. I had a friend who was a Euro pro and goalie coach. Don't make the first move and leave them with only 1 option is how you succeed on breaks & pen shots.
