Zfetch Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 The Avalanche were on a powerplay, with 11 minutes left to go in the 3rd, down by 3, and Patrick Roy decides to do a gutsy move and pull his goalie. Eric Nystrom scored into the open net and made them pay for it. Gif was too big, video added in the meanwhile till I can obtain a smaller gif. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ceHqJocYPuw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Grimes Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Why not?I if it had worked, he would have looked like a genius again; down by that much, with that little to go,either you make something special happen and get lucky, or its not your night, I'd rather see coaches take the chance than play it safe all the time.

DownUndaCanuck Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Good idea IMO. No point trying half-assedly at a powerplay, letting it go to waste and then slowly let the game slip away. 3 goals is attainable with half a game to go, not with 2 minutes left in the game. They score one on that PP and suddenly they've got 10 minutes to score 2 goals. Sure it was never going to happen but that was their best shot at coming back in the game. May seem stupid because it back-fired, but pros and cons considered I'd say it's the best shot they had so a pretty clever move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MayRayDown Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 10 shots on goal with 11 mins left in the 3rd? You sure he wasn't just sending him to shot the puck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plum Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I think it was just for a 6on4, probably wouldn't have done it on even strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sinphase Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Well what's to lose? AVS aren't making the playoffs. Might as well mix it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManUtd Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Our PP is at a near Buffalo level of ineptitude. It's just so woefully bad it's hard to blame him doing anything and everything he can to get it going. It's not like we lost by one goal and even then it has been clear for months the playoffs weren't going to happen this year anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zfetch Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 Earliest EN goal in NHL history? No. I'm sure the record goes to some team who was on a delayed penalty call and the puck accidentally slid into their net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webster6 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 No. I'm sure the record goes to some team who was on a delayed penalty call and the puck accidentally slid into their net. Right. I remember the Canucks had done that once before against the Coyotes. Wasn't it O'Brien? Fkin O'Brien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
