- gahzinia, on 10/12/2007, -4/+118HAHAHA that's horrible! Yeah, there's no excuse to miss that empty net shot, but when Stefan is right outside the goalie crease it looks like the puck hit a bump / cut in the ice and it just jumped over the stick.But you'd think that being a pro hockey player, they'd be able to deal with that. However, when he wakes up the next day, he'll still be getting paid a lot more than me.
"That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. Patrick Stefan, you should be embarrassed for what you just did. That does not belong in the National Hockey League" - treyd, on 10/12/2007, -19/+130That commentator was an ass...
- TaterSalad77, on 10/12/2007, -2/+95Dallas ended up winning the game in the shootout (6-5) in case anybody was wondering.
- rlutterb, on 10/12/2007, -9/+68It's not his fault... if you look closely, you can see the puck hit a bump in the ice and skip over his stick just as he makes the shot attempt. Bad coincidence, poor dude.
Falling down, however... *****, I'd be surprised and fall down too if the puck jumped over my stick. But I'm not a professional hockey player. - PeTeRZz, on 10/12/2007, -15/+69How the hell can you not LOVE hockey.
Anything can happen.
Most exciting sport. PERIOD. - alphonse55, on 10/12/2007, -9/+31202 views of the video and yet 324 diggs at this point. I guess everyone watches it in groups.
- castromarx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+19At least the Stars still won. Anyone remember Steve Smith? http://youtube.com/watch?v=DYFePg82pBM

Youtube may delay updating the view count. Not uncommon for sites to do that to reduce database load. - Supernova36, on 10/12/2007, -0/+16If i wasn't a Stars fan it would be even funnier.
- superskid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15Missing the empty net was one thing. But for Edmonton to actually take it down the ice setup a breakaway and finish it off with only 7 seconds left. Now that is amazing and something that we may never see again.
- macaddct1984, on 10/12/2007, -3/+17You know 'Hockey' is a lot more descriptive than 'Video', right?
- dave98, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14actually.. this should be the worst hockey play you will ever see
http://youtube.com/watch?v=OlFVOWnZz3Q - etx313, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13We need more hockey posts on digg. I'm being serious.
- michaelg, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14Yeah, as mentioned, it was retarded but the puck did pop over his stick. I'm a stars fan and was watching the game in disbelief. He should have just shot it instead of being a bit cocky or trying anything weird.
Although, the entire game was just crazy... here are the highlights: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0OmezV7Isg Watch for Stars goalie getting hit in the head and the goal by Hagman. He had fallen down and still knocked the puck into the net. - Sifl, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15End of 1st period score: 2-0 Edmonton
End of 2nd period score: 4-2 Edmonton (Dal Goalie gets nailed in the head with puck)
End of 3rd period score: 5-5 Tied! (The above clip)
End of OT: 5-5 Tied (No Stoppage of play)
End of Shoot out: 6-5 Dallas
Awesome! - MGorgon, on 10/12/2007, -4/+17The Dallas coach probably had a huge bitching session with his team after they all stood still on that empty net play
- ColinCampbell, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12@oddball:
By carrying the puck in and slowly going to the front of the net, you kill more time. It looks like showboating, but it's actually good clock management.
Nice try though. - HoboMaster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10When you're only up by one? In hockey? Bull. An empty netter stops the other team from being able to tie. A one goal lead can change in a second, as we saw here.
- wordsthatendini, on 10/12/2007, -10/+19I think this sums it up best....
DO'H! - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10kevin needs to add the embedded video player to any youtube url, because this is still clearly hockey, and thus goes in the hockey section
- appetite, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11Leave Buckner alone.
- deezp1, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9how can it be as bad as bill buckner, Buckner not only did it in a playoff game, he did it in a World Series game. That is not forgivable, not to mention at the time, the redsox were on the verge of winning their 1st world series in about 75 years.
If it was in a playoff game or a stanley cup game then it would be worse because it was a team mess up! - osbjmg, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9I don't think so, he's the color commentator - his comments are colorful.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+10ChickenParm tore him up on that one. The problem wasn't that little bump he hit and the total miss of the goal, it was the fact that he fell on his ass and lost the puck. Yet, he didn't just lose the puck, he flung it back at then. Patrick Stefan musta just had a baaad day.
- HoboMaster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7True, but we still won. I just about lost it when that happened though.why he didn't just tap it in from 5 feet out instead of switching to his backhand, I'll never know.
- ArchieAndrews, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6One goal simply isn't enough in hockey. You need to step on their throat or it can change in an instant.
- SirNuke, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Puck hitting a rough spot and jumping over your stick is bad luck. Bad luck happens. His mistake was not staying focused and falling over after missing the shot. He clearly still had the puck after missing the shot, what he should have done was skate around the net and take another shot from the other side. Professional hockey players are paid absurd salaries to keep their focus at all times and make adjustments like that, not fall over when something unexpected happens. There really is no excuse.
- PeTeRZz, on 10/12/2007, -13/+19wtf are you talking about? the NHL has been back moron.
And hockey isn't the only sport thats had a lockout. dumbass. - bbhh, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7really... i just feel bad when i see stuff like this. the ice screwed him, i guess he shoulda taken the puck into the corner and just tried to hold onto it, but hindsight is 20/20, i'm sure if that happened to me i would try somehow to score anyways. funny thing is, edmonton has consistently been said to have the best ice in the nhl... no ice is good ice in the last minute of the third though.
- mt066, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Oh man that is so embarassing. Imagine the dumbest thing you did all year, except with thousands and thousands of people watching you do it.
- Kyle660, on 10/12/2007, -4/+9 "What does it have to do with being in an arena?"
Well. Hockey is played in an arena. Not trying to be a smartass here but I'm just not sure where you're coming from. - Kyle660, on 10/12/2007, -9/+14This is about as exciting as an arena sport can get, period. Simply amazing.
- pt4117, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8What are you talking about? This isn't as bad as buckner! Buckner's mistake happened in the world series, and his team lost the game because of it. People turn the puck over everyday too. Missing an open net happens prety frequently too. Granted they both don't happen often, but than again how often did the Sox make the series?
Stefan's mistake was big, but his team still won. - hellyes, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6should have. should have. should have.
- NoctemSaiyaku, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Yes, it was a mistake made by Stefan but when your playing tired and there is an open net you relax. Trust me anyone no matter how professional would relax a little and what happened is a worst cast scenario. The bump/cut in the ice just ruined his night. I feel for you Stefan.
- publishcron, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Legendary mustache Lanny. They should have given the goal to Lanny's mustache, not Perry Berezan.
- onishenko, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Here is a longer version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDbEX666G3Y
- mhockey14221, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Not to mention the most fun to play :-)
- SupaDawg, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Oilers still lost. Albeit, still pretty bad miscue by Stefan.
And this guy was a FIRST OVERALL draft pick. lol - spmyke, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Even good players have accidents and make mistakes from time to time.
- thatsmyaibo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Yeah, the ice in the goalie crease is always messed up from constant side to side sliding/skating from the keeper (especially since all the goalies now a days play butterfly style). Most goalies will always been seen sweeping excess snow to the side of the net to prevent it from happened. I don't blame the guy and kinda feel bad for him. The announcers however, are total douche bags.
- ArchieAndrews, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Agreed, I went looking for this one to add to the comments as well. That is easily the worst one ever.
- finbec, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3@Jesus
You weren't watching the same video I was. You clearly see him try to knock the puck into the net as it jumps over his stick. - amplifiedshock, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4This is off-topic but I noticed at least 3 people here with the Oilers logo as their avatars... GO OILERS GO!
- ostracize, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3@Price
He wasn't cocky. He was cautious. When you have that much distance, you don't want to do something stupid like quickly fire a wrister that sails wide. So he took advantage of his situation and calmly tried to push the puck forward and into the net. - admirabumblebee, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Yeah, but if he missed that shot everyone would be saying he should have just skated up and tapped it in.
The guy got very very unlucky no matter which way you try to spin it - briankealer, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Ah, I feel sorry for him. I've been playing for 16 years and ***** like that does happen.
- mcmorrowk, on 05/06/2009, -1/+3brodeur scored on himself in a stanley cup finals game when trying to stop a simple dump in.
it happens, treyd was right though, the commentator was an ass.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=iXEzD1heawU - daggart, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Your title ain't that great. It should say, "The Worst and Best plays in NHL History!". GO OILERS!
- iigloo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Meh! The NHL lockout was awesome. A lot of star players came to our Swedish hockey league (elitserien). That was great. Well, maybe not for you Americans and Canadians, but still, it was fun. =)
