Mike Hoffman Skips The Puck Past Jonathan Bernier For A Truly Freakish Goal

Some Video Game Passing Gave The Lightning A Perfect Goal

You know how in the old NHL games, you could just lazily tap the X button and see the puck move in a flawless straight line right onto your teammate’s stick? Well, the Tampa Bay Lightning just recreated that unlikely gameplay with some tic-tac-toe passing that padded their lead against San Jose....

Frederik Andersen Makes A Very Unlikely Glove Save

Look at alllll that net facing Noah Hanifin, and the unpreferable positioning of Frederik Andersen, on his pads, off-balance, and stuck near-side after making a save a split second before. Easy goal, right? Not if you know a little trick I like to call “reading the headline.”...
