Just when it couldn't get any worse.

I was curious, so I looked it up.

This is the 16th goalie goal. Ever.

It is about evenly split between the goalie taking the shot, and the goalie being credited as the last player to touch the puck on an own goal.

The New Jersey Devils have been involved in five of them- Martin Brodeur has three goals, and two were scored against them. And, given when they happened, it is likely Brodeur was in goal for the two own goals against.

Edit: I had the number of goals incorrect.

Seeing a goalie skate down the bench giving fives is the best hahaha

The Vancouver Canucks are the worst franchise in sports.

Dang this is crazy. I had no idea this was so rare. Apparently the goals were scored by 13 total goalies, and 8 of them have scored with an actual shot on goal. For comparison, 12 men have walked on the moon.

If they're doing all this now, the Bruins had better make it to the finals...

For a non-hockey viewer, can someone explain why there wasn't another Goalie in the opposite net please?

Teams have 6 players on the ice. One of those players can but doesn't have to be a goalkeeper. Thus, when the game is nearly over, the trailing team will often exchange their keeper for another skater in an attempt to score. This gives them 6 skaters to their opponents 5 and generally results in a lot of offensive pressure and sometimes leads to the game tying goal. Of course the downside is that if the opponents get control of the puck, they have an open net to shoot at, like in this video.

The other team pulled their goalie to put an additional skater on the ice in hopes of being able to score easier with a man advantage. It’s a common practice when a team is down a goal or two with a couple of minutes left in the third period.

I honestly don't think any team can challenge Boston, they are scary good 😳😳

But then again, hockey is the sport that underdogs have the best chance so 🤷🏾‍♂️

Yes my bad, there are no other pro hockey leagues in the world.
No matter the context, this is equivalent to landing on the moon.

I'm not saying it's not fucking dope, because it is. But it happens... And it happend the other week, in a pro league, with a drafted player.
