This goalie is absolutely WILD and I love it 

For real. If I made a save like that, it's the highlight of my career.

aggressive goalies were phased out with the behind the net triangle and limited puck playing ability. Its all in the league's attempts to sell more tickets with more scoring by clipping the wings of aggressive goalies that can more effectively take over a play.

It's how I play.

I'm sorry i laughed lol

Yeah I did this then got a mild grade concussion I like flew my body at him and didn’t think that head first instead of pads would result in one

Got a concussion myself trying to read this.

Networks don't like autonomy though.

The whole fuggin sport is dangerous. Risk-averse humans need not apply.

he's such a silly goober

cough cough Mcdavid the robot cough cough

I totally agree. But there's a fine line between being aloof and being just another egotistical showboater, a complete drama queen like Binnington or just a plain old pest. Kinda like Marchand. Having said that, most goalies are the weirdos. Maybe because they are all alone back there especially on a good team where they don't see too much action and have to entertain themselves. Just a random take

@oddity4all Marchand is only a pest on ice hes actually fuckin hilarious and a great guy.

I seriously couldn't care less about athletes personalitys I just want my team to win

Exactly. It's always the "puck was already across the goalline" defense. If they don't have to be in control of their body or speed, f*** em.

Hard to do that when everyone is full on skating to the net and crashing into them or sitting in their crease. It’s been so bad the last few years

@@NichoLad4 No it's not, go watch some 80s and 90s hockey it was worse then and the goalies where much more aggressive.

@@NichoLad4 Go watch some Ron Hextall footage they get in close to him he would knock em out. Pete Peters would do the same.. NHL is ran by a puss now

I agree but goaltending is getting harder, as the snap shot is so fucking fast it’s hard to get aggressive, and the % chance of us getting more aggressive like playing the puck when there is a 50/50 is getting harder every time a new stick or smthn is released because of the flex and how fast they can get the shot off

Well, considering this was a shootout, technically, the play is over once Askarov makes contact with the puck and moves it away from the goal. The "trip" happens after that...ie. when the play is already dead.

@@ghost_615 I'm not sure that's correct; what if he makes contact with the puck, it deflects up in the air, lands on its edge, rolls away from the net at first but in a circular direction and now on a path to the goal line. I wonder if, in fact, the play ends when he makes contact with the puck and it moves away from the net. Perhaps the play is allowed to carry on till the puck stops moving? Anyone have the current NHLrule book?

@@alan2112drums The puck stopped moving forward when askarov pokechecked it. That ends the shot attempt

@@theonlyraid8372 That is incorrect; the play ends when the puck stops moving (or goes in the net. Technically, the puck must always move towards the net but "forward" movement might be implied, but not strictly enforced. If you think about the Datsyukian move, the puck actually moves backward for a brief moment (dribbling the puck) just prior to the shot being released. Furthermore, just because the goalie changed the forward movement of the puck doesn't necessarily end the play. Penalties can be called on a penalty shot which may result in a re-do. The ref could've called a tripping penalty on the goalie even though he stopped the shot, made the puck move away from the net or made the puck stop moving altogether. So, the play would not be over, as you stated, because the shooter would get another attempt.

@@alan2112drums yeah obviously if ruled a penalty it would be redone but Askarov completely stopped the puck with the pokecheck then the other player over skated it before tripping. The puck stopped moving towards the net and the play was called a save.

Billy Smith endorses this message :)

He has been back and forth a few times between the Ads and Preds. He started out slow in MKE, but eventually found his game.

Absolutely! I've made a video on him as well. Love that guy!

Ever heard of multiple awesome young goalies with character. Kotchetkov and Askarov can coexist with these antics

Goaltender's feet must be in the crease until the puck is touched by the opposing player

@@michaelwiggins3663 another dumb NHL rule

@@bobnewfart7630 How is that a dumb rule? Shootouts would be absolutely atrocious without it

Shootout. Play is dead when he pokes the puck. Maybe Shaw should slow down next time.

What part don’t you want to see?

@@johancarlstrom2634 That last save he was completely out of position and lucky he got his stick on it. Not sure that will make it to his highlight real. That being said he kept the puck out so that is really all that matters.
