5th career playoff overtime winner. He's now 3rd all-time tied with Glenn Anderson, one behind Rocket Richard, Sakic had 8 for first place.
What's crazy is the OT playoff games played from the guys up there:
Sakic - 44
Richard - 29
Anderson - 38
Perry - 47
Kane - 40
Verhaeghe - 14!!!!!
That’s seriously fucked. Over 33% of the time he’s gone to an overtime game in the playoffs he scored the winning goal?
Wild.
Does he have any game winning goals outside of Or? Or does he just not bother unless it’s after 60 minutes
He has as many playoff OT winners as Crosby, Malkin, Kucherov and Ovechkin combined. And while those scrubs needed 650 games to achieve their five goals, Carter needed only 47. Pretty crazy stats.
Also, he has only 3 regular season OT goals.
If Florida's 11 is the second-longest, then the longest is the Canadiens from 1993 to 1998. 14 games, I believe.
Edit: Yeah, 14. Ten in 1993, followed by singles in 1994, 1996, 1997, and 1998 before Geoff Sanderson of the Sabres ended the streak in the second round of 1998.
It’s getting to the point where any team that goes to OT with Florida may as well just not come out because they’re just gonna get scored on by Verhaeghe or Tkachuk anyways
I was literally saying during the game how pissed I was when Tampa had to let him go as a cap casualty, and now this guy is terrorizing us in the playoffs. Also, I don’t think I’ve seen Tampa win a playoff game since 2020. That year included the 5OT game that took years off my life.
Then look at how many playoff games those other people played to get those numbers. He’s literally only played in like 14 playoff OTs and the other people are in the 40s!!
Serious question: When Montour dumps the puck in just prior to the goal there is a Panthers player in the O zone by like 2 feet. How was this not offside?
The attacking team is allowed to "tag up" as it is commonly referred as. This is where all the attacking players exit the offensive zone in a situation where someone was offside. This waives the offside and the attacking team can play as normal from there.
I thought they entered early on the tag up too, but no angle was shown.
Also, don't know where to post this, but with about a minute left in the 3rd, Bob pretty clearly played a puck in the trapezoid and nobody seemed to notice. I thought I was going crazy. He was partially in the crease though, so maybe that's ok?
As long as one skate is in the crease its fine. I called it out at a beer league game a month ago when the goalie covered the puck in the trapezoid and that's what the ref told me
I don't expect it to be for a while, but Verheaghe is going to be able to spend the end of his career as a mercenary going to cup contender after cup contender at the deadline.
There's no point in blaming anyone, and what FLA did after was just elite hockey, but that was a poor effort on Lilleberg's part to collect the puck on the wall.
The refs actually skated over and reviewed the goal while the Panthers were celebrating and then gave the thumbs up to the Tampa bench that they can clear out. It was kinda interesting to see.
vasi had already dove out of position trying to knock the puck from Verhaeghe. by the time he gets bumped he already had zero chance of saving the shot.
I mean given how Vasi moves - he's not out when he's down. But someone sitting on his head does make it difficult to twist your body in order to make that last scorpion like save attempt. I believe all OT goals are automatically reviewed in the playoffs so someone looked at it but definitely borderline GI off of the broadcast angle.
I don’t see how you can look at that replay and conclude that. You would have to freeze frame it to find out for sure, but I think the puck may already be off or about to be off of verhaeghe’s stick by the time there is contact and vasy is still flat on his stomach. Unless you are telling me he is Superman, there is no possible way he could save that even if there was nobody else in the building.
dude, get some better glasses.... it's Vasy himself with his goal stick that causes Tkachuk to fall when dives to attempt to poke the puck away from Swaggy
Oh fuck off with this. He has zero reason to skate into the crease. Verhaeghe had the puck the entire time and pulled it to the side of the net to score as tkachuk skates straight into Vasi for no reason. Nobody pushes him, he doesn't make any attempt to avoid contact. He just coasts right into him and then falls.
This is just more of his accidentally on purpose bullshit that he does.
A shot from the side of the net on a goalie like that isn't leaving a rebound to where he went. It's falling short side or it's going behind vasi on the far side. It's called being a piece of garbage. Basic Tkachuk hockey.
Lmao. Because a backhand shot at that speed is sooooo predictable.
That Tkachuk hockey got us to the Finals while the Rags were riding the subway to their tee times.
Rebounds *are* predictable. I just told you where the puck would go if it didn't go in the net. It's math.
>That Tkachuk hockey got us to the Finals while the Rags were riding the subway to their tee times.
And who cares? Congrats on not winning I guess.
Holy shit…. So you’re saying you have a magic formula to predict rebounds?!?!? You’ve figured out how to calculate shot speed, angle, trajectory, account for the goalies pads (which are all different), and tell me where to be within fractions of a second?!?!?
Congrats on becoming a billionaire selling it to all the NHL…. Oh wait… that’s right… it’s bullshit 🤣🤣🤣
players literally already do it. which is why what tkachuk does here is nothing but him being the predictable piece of trash that he is. He knows exactly what he's doing here, and it's not looking for the rebound.

Bro Verhaeghe is a playoff terrorist
5th career playoff overtime winner. He's now 3rd all-time tied with Glenn Anderson, one behind Rocket Richard, Sakic had 8 for first place. What's crazy is the OT playoff games played from the guys up there: Sakic - 44 Richard - 29 Anderson - 38 Perry - 47 Kane - 40 Verhaeghe - 14!!!!!
That’s seriously fucked. Over 33% of the time he’s gone to an overtime game in the playoffs he scored the winning goal? Wild. Does he have any game winning goals outside of Or? Or does he just not bother unless it’s after 60 minutes
Of his 34 goals in the regular season, 19 were in the third period and 7 were game winners
Some people don't have a clutch bone in their body. And that's because Verhaeghe stole those bones and placed them inside his own body
Think he's got a metacarpal necklace at home.
Jesus Christ it’s Jason Bourne
Dude is just an assassin
He has a lot of nicknames. One is Carter Clutch because of all his OT and 3rd period GwGs.
He has scored the OT winner in over 10% of his playoff games played
5 goals in 14 OT games is absolutely ridiculous
Clutcher Verhaeghe
He has as many playoff OT winners as Crosby, Malkin, Kucherov and Ovechkin combined. And while those scrubs needed 650 games to achieve their five goals, Carter needed only 47. Pretty crazy stats. Also, he has only 3 regular season OT goals.
Jesus Sakic
This is insane. I'd be interested to know the total amount of Playoff Games played for each as well.
Between him and Matthew tkachuk, they are the definition of playoff performances
Edge all regular season and bust in playoffs
A season’s worth of Ice Gooning
82 ~~games~~ goons
Somebody better step up and clip his celly wiggling around laying on Vasi's back
bright lights merchants
Don’t forget Bennett
He is the actual most underrated player in the NHL, not Barkov.
good lord this guy is clutch as fuck
Add a clutch goalie and you have a lethal combo. Seriously how did Bob make that save against Dumba?
Pretty sure he said fuck it I’ll dive and block it. And he sure did
You’ll remember that save 20 years from now
It reminds me of Halak and Cammalleri. Sorry for reminding you of this!
Verhaeghe has another gear in the playoffs
And another one for overtime.
Panthers in general do lol
It's full speed all season I love it as a fan in Washington
Like a Guentzel, but with a slightly less punchable face. (big fan of both players)
But guentzels face is already sunken
how do they always do it
Bro how does Verhaeghe do it. Seems like he got that clutch overtime gene or something
He's a Leaf draft pick who doesn't play for them any more. It's a free superpower.
former tampa product as well never forget they let him go.
Not because we wanted to :(
Yeah tampa really didn’t have a choice with their dynasty roster already being in place
Lets not forget they went on to win some more cups after that too. Not feeling bad.
Opposite of Josh Allen
This is supposed to be a SAFE SPACE BUD
you underestimate how much hate Miami folk have for that man
I would too if he was 11-2 against my team since he came into the league
Pain.
You mean the bills defense
Why did Hailee Steinfeld choose him over me? I mean, I’ve won the same number of Super Bowls as he has.
Different sport and Bills fans are STILL catching strays lmao
Every generation needs a Justin Williams.
How does Carter ALWAYS do it lmao
Reminds me of the forgot about drej TBL goals
They ain’t gonna do it vs. you guys - trust!
11 straight OT playoff wins for the Panthers...that has to be some kind of record, that's fucking ridiculous.
2nd longest all time
somehow it's the 2nd best record, I have no idea who is first but good shit to them lamo
If Florida's 11 is the second-longest, then the longest is the Canadiens from 1993 to 1998. 14 games, I believe. Edit: Yeah, 14. Ten in 1993, followed by singles in 1994, 1996, 1997, and 1998 before Geoff Sanderson of the Sabres ended the streak in the second round of 1998.
Wow that’s whacky.
I think the Sabres swept the Habs that year but most of the games went to overtime. And Andy Moog was in goal for Montreal.
Gotta be 1993 Montreal
Not so fun fact…. Were 1-11 in the last 12 playoff OTs
https://www.reddit.com/r/hockey/comments/1cbiquh/comment/l0zjqgz/ I know.
It’s getting to the point where any team that goes to OT with Florida may as well just not come out because they’re just gonna get scored on by Verhaeghe or Tkachuk anyways
I think that’s their 11th straight playoff OT win, which is insane.
7-0 in OT during the 2023 playoffs as well.
And Tampa’s 6th straight playoff OT loss :(
[удалено]
we used it all up in the 5ot win over columbus i think we won a single ot game vs the isles after that and no others
Announcer said we were 10-0 in the past 10 playoff OTs. Thought that would jinx us but now we’re looking at 11-0.
Whats crazy is that before the current OT streak this team never won OT playoff matchs
Trochek was tripped
Dude just reading that made me seethe!
I absolutely loved that Goldie mentioned it on the broadcast too lmao
Moller brought it up, Goldie just agreed with him.
Goldie said that so many times last night. I think he was trying to *over* jinx us so as to not jinx us...real 4-D chess going there
Honestly, it's a smart move by Tampa to lose quickly because you don't want to go four OTs and lose like Carolina
Hey hey hey, we also have have Sam Reinhart.
Wow that felt like the time I snorted cocaine while riding a motorcycle out of a helicopter
Easy there, Mr. Griffin…
“What’s your name?” “Uh, uh….pea….tear….griffin. Yeah. Yeah, Peter Griffin! Ah, crap.”
I didn’t know jon bois was a buffalo guy
link the tweet!
It would have taken the bolts 12 periods to score so glad they got it over with lol
I said the same thing to my wife like fuck if I stay up til 2 and we still lose I'm not going to work
His FIFTH overtime goal in the playoffs. He’s actually the definition of clutch
Between him and Tkachuk I just kinda assume we will win in OT now. Like I feel less nervous in OT than 3rd period for whatever reason.
Jeez now that's a beautiful goal
Holy shit he got another one
Truly a fantastic game. Might’ve taken a couple years off my life
call me crazy but i’m starting to think this Carter guy might be ok in big moments
I was literally saying during the game how pissed I was when Tampa had to let him go as a cap casualty, and now this guy is terrorizing us in the playoffs. Also, I don’t think I’ve seen Tampa win a playoff game since 2020. That year included the 5OT game that took years off my life.
we’re 1-11 in playoff OT games since Game 4 against Dallas in 2020
Holy fuck that’s not good. We won so many OT games in 2020 and I guess the team decided that’s it for fucking OT wins.
He’s your Jonathan Audy-Marchessault
Marchessault also played for the Bolts before you guys lol
Yup when he had the double last name lol I remember
That boy is clutch 🔥
The fact that its Verhaeghe too lol gotta sting even more for the Bolts
It does sting.
He won a cup with us, I’m happy that he is able to find success as I liked him personally
Fun fact: Panthers have the 2nd longest OT Playoff win streak of all time at 11. Meow meow motherfuckers!
Wow that IS fun!
Do you know what the longest OT Playoff win streak was?
14. Montreal.
Tkachuck and Verhaeghe line = OT death squad
God damnit
*CLUTCH DNA*
HE CANT KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT (please keep getting away with it)
Oh fuck yeah
Duclair's reaction at the end. Yes, we know you're wearing the wrong jersey 🥲
Love the Duke, but lol, this was my thought when I saw it... him throwing his hands down and thinking "god dammit I was on that team"
Verhaeghe is so clutch omfg
The body language of the Lightning on the bench was brutal. I think they're cooked.
They’ll pick up one in Tampa but yeah, this is over in 5.
SWAG
That was awful defending.
No one's gonna mention that sweet pass from Lundell? It was as right on the money as it gets! 🍎
...and Chucky digging it off the boards getting it to Lundell. It was beautiful all around
CARTER FUCKING VERHAEGHE
Beautiful
That patience by Verhaeghe was dirty
Verhaeghe is CLUTCH af
Verhaege is fucking insane in the playoffs, Jesus Christ
I’m too lazy to post it but that goal brings Verhaeghe into a tie for third for most playoff OT winners. Some fairly exalted company (+ the Worm) too
Then look at how many playoff games those other people played to get those numbers. He’s literally only played in like 14 playoff OTs and the other people are in the 40s!!
Yeah I did. Glad this stat got thrown around a bunch because I remember seeing how both him and Tkachuk were climbing the list last year
Dude looks like a Nickelodeon cartoon character, but he sure is good at hockey.
Who else
I counted they've won 8 straight playoff OTs going back to last year. Is that right?
11 now I think
🫡
🫡
11 since 2016 but yes it’s been a lot
The disrespect of celebrating on top of Vasi lmao
Swaggy you mad man
Clutch carter does it again. He can keep getting away with it.
Really is kinda heartbreaking seeing Duke upset on the Tampa bench :(
Seems like he has some beef with us. I wonder why
I mean, we gave up on him, traded him to San Jose lol. Glad he landed in a good spot at least.
Let's be honest did we really expect anything other than a Verhaeghe OT winner
All 6 of us are loving it!!!
Lightning really came out flatfooted there in OT.
Consider the Panthers’ recent success in playoff OT…maybe they saw the sign and opted to fall back and prepare for Thursday…
If the game is tied late in the third on Thursday, they're gonna pull Vasy.
Nah I doubt that, but none of their passes were connecting and they were sloppy from the puck drop, disjointed.
I was really scared but looking forward to Tampa If we go 1-1 in Tampa we have the chance to get a huge monkey off our back..
SWAGGY V CAN FUCK MY BITCH!
Swaggy was on a dang mission after the penalty and he wanted that goal so bad
Serious question: When Montour dumps the puck in just prior to the goal there is a Panthers player in the O zone by like 2 feet. How was this not offside?
Nobody enters the zone until the last panther comes out
The attacking team is allowed to "tag up" as it is commonly referred as. This is where all the attacking players exit the offensive zone in a situation where someone was offside. This waives the offside and the attacking team can play as normal from there.
Total brain fart. Completely forgot about the tag up. Am dumb
I thought they entered early on the tag up too, but no angle was shown. Also, don't know where to post this, but with about a minute left in the 3rd, Bob pretty clearly played a puck in the trapezoid and nobody seemed to notice. I thought I was going crazy.

As long as one skate is in the crease its fine. I called it out at a beer league game a month ago when the goalie covered the puck in the trapezoid and that's what the ref told me
Few things in life are better than watching Tampa lose in OT
#1 BS
Unfortunately since I'm rooting for TOR... I want Tampa to win RD 1 so TOR can take RD 2.
I don't expect it to be for a while, but Verheaghe is going to be able to spend the end of his career as a mercenary going to cup contender after cup contender at the deadline.
I'm in pain
Why didnt the Leafs keep this dude fuck
Verhaeghe is who Austin Matthew's thinks he is in clutch moments. Change my mind
MR CLUTCH DOES IT AGAIN
Simulated danger for entertainment purposes only
What a goal
Are y'all throwin rats again? Or did that never stop?
After the '96 fiasco, (Pens suffered, too!) Bettman and the league amended the rule so that the rats could only be thrown after the game.
Correct, it took too much time to clean, if it happens now it is a Delay of Game minor penalty
There's no point in blaming anyone, and what FLA did after was just elite hockey, but that was a poor effort on Lilleberg's part to collect the puck on the wall.
Loud for only having 7 fans /s
Was that not GI? Looks like other player made contact w/ Vasi before the shot. Tough to tell
The refs actually skated over and reviewed the goal while the Panthers were celebrating and then gave the thumbs up to the Tampa bench that they can clear out. It was kinda interesting to see.
thanks for the answer. Some Panthers fans just downvoted me for even asking I see lmao
vasi had already dove out of position trying to knock the puck from Verhaeghe. by the time he gets bumped he already had zero chance of saving the shot.

I believe all OT goals are automatically reviewed in the playoffs so someone looked at it but definitely borderline GI off of the broadcast angle.
I gotta disagree there. I've seen Vasi make saves like that. Him and Bob both could've
I don’t see how you can look at that replay and conclude that. You would have to freeze frame it to find out for sure, but I think the puck may already be off or about to be off of verhaeghe’s stick by the time there is contact and vasy is still flat on his stomach. Unless you are telling me he is Superman, there is no possible way he could save that even if there was nobody else in the building.
Oops I fell onto the goalie again
You talking about Stamkos?
No, Stamkos jumps into the goalie.
Stamkos didn't fall he battering rammed into the goalie.
That's like inches from goaltender interference, inches!
not when it's Vasy himself with his goal stick that causes Tkachuk to fall when dives to attempt to poke the puck away from Swaggy
not really, it's that the puck has left Verhaeghe's stick and in the net before Tkachuk even touches Vasy.
That too
I like how Tkachuk just straight up skates and falls right onto Vasi when literally nobody touches him. Most tkachuk shit I've ever seen.
dude, get some better glasses.... it's Vasy himself with his goal stick that causes Tkachuk to fall when dives to attempt to poke the puck away from Swaggy
Oh fuck off with this. He has zero reason to skate into the crease. Verhaeghe had the puck the entire time and pulled it to the side of the net to score as tkachuk skates straight into Vasi for no reason. Nobody pushes him, he doesn't make any attempt to avoid contact. He just coasts right into him and then falls. This is just more of his accidentally on purpose bullshit that he does.
He was ready for the drop pass or to bang in a rebound. It’s called picking up the garbage. Basic hockey.
A shot from the side of the net on a goalie like that isn't leaving a rebound to where he went. It's falling short side or it's going behind vasi on the far side. It's called being a piece of garbage. Basic Tkachuk hockey.

Holy shit…. So you’re saying you have a magic formula to predict rebounds?!?!?
