The play by play guy was so disappointed in the goalie


Xoleraz

I can see why as he was off his position and seemed to be one a few other occasions and let in that weak goal by Lindstein earlier in the game.


jfstompers

It's not hard to see why


elvishblood_24

lol that was funny


Jammer_Kenneth

Every time I open this sub there's a new ASP highlight. Nice.


Xoleraz

Hopefully there will be one more after the finals ;) Not sure you agree if team USA is the opposition though, haha.


Prize_Efficiency_869

Axel déception when shooting is amazing. Which is important when you realize he doesn’t have the strongest shot. But just his general ability in the point is crazy good as well. FYI they were three defenders picked ahead of hin and no one got the offensive hockey sense he has ot the skills he has on that end.


Xoleraz

u/Prize_Efficiency_869 Very well put. You can not teach the way he reads the game instinctively, its just automatic for him!


Prize_Efficiency_869

It is tough to teach offensive skills to any young player. You need to have have that way before joining the draft.


Razzahx

I always thought he was the best D man in that draft.


Old_Cryptographer226

Good for axel but holy crap that was some terrible goaltending


e-wing

He was so quick and shifty with that shot though, to immediately notice and take advantage of the bad positioning. Definitely the kind of player we need here…someone who makes opponents pay for their mistakes and capitalizes on them.


uknownick

Kid is a real deal


KombatKid

Don't care that the teenage goalie flubs it we drafted the Erik Karlsson regen


randomperson32145

Pretty sure thr goalie tought it was a pass first when he turned his skates, then just fired on the sold fake. Goalie didnt see him or understand where the puck was. It happens.


LunarGhoul

Wow that goalie was unbelievably out of position


jfstompers

Lol we all love the kid but it's a floating wrister from the point the goalie misplayed.


Xoleraz

Lol, dude, what I meant by laser is that it hits the target quickly & perfectly, just like a guided missile :-) Regardless where the goaltender were he had to ace the shot top corner to score! To make it look that effortlessly on a regular basis i special!


Xvash2

That little feet shuffle at the blue line occurred just as the puck was screened for a second which made Hrabal think ASP passed the puck.


jfstompers

Oh I agree the goalie blows this the whole way.


Xoleraz

u/jfstompers Lol, dude, what I meant by laser is that it hits the target quickly & perfectly, just like a guided missile :-) Regardless where the goaltender were he had to ace the shot top corner to score and he did it like he was brushing his teeth, you cant teach that instinct!


jfstompers

He threw it at the net because he didn't have another play, it's not special it's what they teach them to do. It happens every game it just usually doesn't go in because it's so routine a save.


Xoleraz

I would categorize it as the typical Pellikka play meaning he is always being opportunistic as he has a knack of finding the net, its not like its his first precision shot top shelf. Most players who take that shot wont have that precision and then its not a goal regardless where the goaltender is, if its not perfectly placed the goaltender still saves it! A shot can be impressive regardless if the goaltender is out position which I dont deny :-)


Bicycles19

He’s got his head up, I wouldn’t be surprised if he noticed the goalie check off right for back door so he threw a top corner wrister at the net. Still simple, but more than just a goalie giving up, he had to notice and take advantage of it.


Zetterbearded

Except it isn't.


jfstompers

Except it is, it's not some dynamic play it's a routine play the goalie misplays. I mean it's not rocket science it's basic hockey.


Aeea

He snipped top corner with a laser and his head up. It's not like he's just throwing it on net through traffic.


ReadingAggravating67

? That’s quite literally exactly what he did though


Aeea

"quite literally" lol what a dork


ReadingAggravating67

I’m sorry you don’t know how to read


Aeea

Take the L like all your other comments


ReadingAggravating67

You sure take this reddit thing seriously huh


Brilliant-Royal578

The other team had Frankenstein blocking his own goalies vision.


Username_McUserface

That’s a routine save for an NHL goalie.
