Satans Hockey Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 I know this is a minor league game but this goal is so awesome that I figured more people would see it in here. This was between the Bridgeport Sound Tigers and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Pens http://www.soundtigers.com/nilsson.wmv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satans Hockey Posted January 31, 2006 Author Share Posted January 31, 2006 I figured it was going to get moved, but since it was just a goal I figured more people who normally wouldnt see it might get to. Don't really care either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devilsrule33 Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 (edited) The goal first done by the guy on Michigan, followed by Crosby doing it either last year or the year before. Now the third time. Very impressive. Speaking of great plays. Check out this amazing minor league save. http://www.komets.com/video/StPierreSave012106.wmv Edited January 31, 2006 by devilsrule33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 That goal was how "Les Boys" beat Toronto in "Les Boys IV". "You scored a Crosby!" It was also why Don Cherry called Crosby a "Hot Dog". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mddevsfan Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 The goal first done by the guy on Michigan, followed by Crosby doing it either last year or the year before. Now the third time. Very impressive. Trying to remember who scored that goal for Michigan was driving me nuts, especially since I knew John Madden was on that team. Turns out it was Mike Legg, an 11th round draft pick by the Devils. Obviously, that never went anywhere. Another interesting tidbit (if only to me...), that goal was scored on my 16th birthday. Michigan would go on to win the title. Amazing Michigan Goal PS - This website has the date wrong. This happened March 24, 1996, not 1995.

RowdyFan42 Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Bill Armstrong of the Rats scored using that trick before Legg did. In fact, Legg credits Armstrong with teaching it to him at a hockey camp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devils731 Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Whenever I see that kind of goal pulled off in a real game I am amazed. I'd go nuts if a team I was cheering for every did that while I was watching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Puddy Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Sorry that is bush league. It's like trying some bullsh!t trick play in baseball like calling a conference at the mound then giving the ball to the first baseman for a cheap pick off. I hope Nilsson got what was coming to him after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devilsfan26 Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 (edited) This move is so overrated. I know plenty of people who can do that move. It's really not that amazing, it doesn't impress me at all. Instead, it pisses me off to see people showboating like that. By the way, don't expect to see this crap in the NHL because I think carrying the puck on your blade in the air is illegal there. EDIT: OK I just watched the video. Good to see none of the other players seemed to approve of this garbage. Even his teammates just stood there instead of celebrating while Nilsson goes flying off the screen cheering for himself. Props to #27 on Wilkes-Barre for kinda going after him as he celebrated his success in showing off.

Devils731 Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 I always thought the goal on offense was to score a goal, looks to me like he scored a goal. I would take 7 "bush league" goals a game if the Devils could get them. Not only did that player get the goal but now the goalie has to stand straighter when the puck is behind the net to guard against it making subsequent goals easier to get. I wonder if people hate other "showboating" plays like passing behind the back or kicking pucks over to guys, etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Puddy Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 I don't see how either of those you mentioned is a showboating play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devils731 Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 And I don't see how scoring is showboating either. How many other ways can a guy behind the net score with no help in front? There really isn't any, so he did what he had to do and scored. Just because it is different and flashy doesn't make it showboating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devilsfan26 Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 a$$hole players do this move to show off more than anything else. They are not thinking of whether or not they will score when they do this move, they do it to show off. This is why Crosby did it when his team was already winning by like 5 or whatever. Everyone knew who already won the game and he just pulled that move to show off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I play in a Men's league and I've seen that move pulled a couple of times, and each time it's always done as a slap in the face. Never in a close game. I definitely think it berates sportsmanship.

I agree. As for showboating, why not play the video of the 10 failed attempts. How many times have players tried this move and failed terribly. When it fails, the other team gets the puck and your team does not get a legit shot on goal, all because you wanted to be fancy and pull some stupid trick. This sh!t reminds me of when I was younger in a roller hockey league. The pucks used to have grooves in them, perfect for putting the toe of your blade into the puck. With this, the puck is essentially apart of the stick now, and all sorts of stupid dekes are possible. I would knock the puck away when my own teammate would do it.

Devils731 Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 So I assume everyone thinks it is a slap in the face when Marty tries to score goals, right? I know you guys want the Devils knocking the puck off his stick so he can't showboat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
