Hemsky one the biggest what ifs of last generation. Skills were ahead of his time as well . Imagine him into todays game, he would eat

I mean a slap shot statistically has a lower probably of being a goal in an empty net than just guiding it in.
The difference is guiding in has a success rate of 99.9997% and slap shot has a success rate of 99.995%

Can you. Believe. What we. Just saw.

How can he slap?

This and a Slapshot are both wrong answers, which is impressive because there is about an infinite number of correct ways to do it.
Pencil_of_Colour
Nah this is some BS. We only dump and chase so no chance in hell we would have come back and scored.

I thought it was going to be the Jake Evans / Mark Scheifele hit.

No.

Oilers have has that piss poor goal horn for a long time. Shit screams “I’m a dirt bag”

Was literally waiting for someone to post this lol

This missed empty net goal had a massive butterfly effect that somehow led to Patrick Kane being drafted by Chicago… if Stefan had buried it, no Chicago dynasty

Dallas still won in overtime, and the guy who missed was out of the NHL not long after

Truly one of the most impactful moments in the history of the modern Oilers. No P Kane, but all roads lead to McDavid

Lol, is there a hockey etiquette book? If so I would love to see about it.

Has no one heard of a wrist shot?

Man Hemmer was so sick. Read somewhere that this really fucked stephen up and he was never really the same

Imagine tearing up your bet ticket on the Oil 6 seconds too early that night.

To this day I’ve never seen another play that made me go “WTF did I just see?”
Associate_Simple
Meh, they lost in OT

There are many options between a slap shot and tickling the puck in.

If Stefan scored while falling, it would’ve been an epic open netter.
JerryJigger
That is not why you Slapshot.
This is why you just put it in the net instead of lazily gliding it in.

I remember this moment. My mouth is still hanging open after all these years in disbelief. Go Stars.

Oilers could’ve gotten Kane if the stars player would’ve scored

Guy scored in an EMPTY NET
IntangibleContinuity
I remember Ales Hemsky scoring this goal
DonCorlealt
I see an alternate universe where the slapshot missed and someone made a post saying “This is why you *dont* slapshot”
While i have no beef with the slapshot, driving the puck into the center of the net is objectively the safest way to score on an open net
aNINETIEZkid
He would have missed the slapper too
Swampguana
This is so moronic! It wouldn’t have made a difference in the leafs game! They couldn’t score even if they had the opportunity! 😂 😂 😂… I’m also a leaf fan and know the facts of my team 😂

Im a sick individual, id do it just to peeve people off, most of all the Make me laughs oh i mean Leafs.

I remember being in a bar watching that play out. Place went bonkos

No, it’s not.
Look, I can’t stand the Leafs either, but the people that want to criticize them for that Senator’s actions are barking up the wrong tree, IMHO.
Whether you agree with the culture or not is immaterial. Everyone understands the rules and mores and when you violate them, you are going to be held accountable.
Everyone knows the deal. He chose to violate them anyway. No problem, that’s his prerogative. But he is absolutely going to get the smoke.
I’m not going to be mad at Morgan Rielly for responding to the disrespect. In fact, if I were God forbid, a Leafs fan, I’d be pretty pissed off at him if he didn’t respond like that.

No. That’s why you don’t misplace the puck like an asshole.
