I’m not surprised they go nuts. That’s a rare occurrence. There’s only been something like 15 goals credited to goalies, and only about half of those have been shot in by the goalie. (As opposed to the goalie being credited for the other teams own goal.)
Man, I’m a bruins fan but I tend to ignore hockey until the playoffs. I love seeing a clip like this, checking the standings and seeing my team is top in the league. +95 GF/GA difference. Christ.
How does the puck seem to “bounce” on nothing to make a bee line for the goal? Am I missing something? I don’t watch hockey so I could well be but it looks like the puck is going diagonally down then just magically makes a bee line for the goal, help out a confused noob someone?
Edit: lol, immediately after writing this I realised the puck goes into the air, first few times I watched it I thought he was bouncing it off the top barrier. Did not realise you could get that kind of airtime with a puck, very impressive!
I know this isn’t related but is Jack Edwards ok? I haven’t watched a Bruins game in a couple of years, but this video led me to other recent Boaton highlights on YouTube and he slurs his words quite a bit. I didn’t see any articles on a stroke or any health issues.

Big Pinus Linus!
Vancouver has a history of getting fucked by the Bruins, it is tradition by now.

I wonder how much that goalie practiced that shot. Feels like it would be a rare opportunity.
I love those hideous Vancouver throwback sweaters.
Where was the other goalie — for the uninitiated.
Yay Sweden.

Thank the lord that you got it with Jack Edwards’ commentary!!
Perfectly emblematic of the state of Vancouver hockey. Even goalies score against us.
Swede with limited-time interest in hockey but it always makes me smile to see Swedes perform in the best league.
Wheel, snipe, celly boys!
Boston is fuckin scary this year
“Announcer goes nuts” knew right away it was going to be the bruins
Ron Hextall was the first goalie to ever score with a legit shot on goal in 1987.
“Not only are they NOT going to score, but I AM!
Dead center too, what a shot!
This is Jack going nuts? It’s not like the crowd wants a call for a hit from behind muhahaha!

Today this sub learned about Jack Edwards. Tomorrow someone needs to post the Goalie Hug. This place will meltdown from the awwww.
Going nuts for this moment is not only the correct response, but a required one. Awesome play and awareness by the netminder.
Hahaha the celly line as well – absolute magic

Let’s go B’s.
Boston fans are sensing it. As they should, this team is terrifying this season.
It’s all about the angles baby. This guy plays billiards in his off time.
Jack Edwards is a gem.
#HOLY SHIT A GOALIE GOAL
These are rare indeed. Would have been amazing to be there.
Seemed about the right level of excitement from the announcer for the play. Not sure if he went “nuts,” though.
The other team’s coach in a heavy European accent: “The goalie!!! Nooooooooooooooo!”
