Does this slap shot go against the code?

    G seems to love slapshots in shootouts and breakaways, and he is really nailing them!

    What ”code” are we talking about here?

    One of the sickest shootout moves to score with imo. It looks bad when your player does it and misses in a game, but when it works.. so dope.

    Slapshots on shootouts – good

    Slapshots on empty nets – bad

    Elvis still doesn’t know what happened 🤣

    Why would there be a code for not using a slapshot in a shootout situation?
    It is a legit way to score.

    Short answer: fuck no 🙂

    You mean the slap shot that was Ottawas Stanley Cup?

    Is this just another chance to bitch about the Leafs?

    If so I’m totally for it, but I’m legitimately not understanding the point of this post.

    What code?!  Love this move, Tomas Vanek did it on nearly every shootout attempt when he was a Sabre, worked a lot of the time too!

    They’re more like guidelines than actual rules.

    It was against the code because he asked the goalie if it was ok to score, the goalie said no, but he scored anyway.

  12. What do you mean? Everyone scores on the Jackets

    As a Flyers fan, this made me both happy and sad at the same time. Giroux is a legend.

    I can’t imagine anyone who has played hockey has a problem with this. It’s not like it was an empty net.

    There is no code when it comes to scoring goals

  16. jimmycap123

    Brian Rolston used to blast away on just about every attempt he took

  17. SlaveKnightChael

    This whole “code” thing is wack as fuck. It’s a slap shot don’t be a pussy

  18. Admirable-Place9499

    The fact that people were upset over a slap shot in an empty net is just ridiculous. Stop being so soft

  19. MeetTheMets0o0

    Thomas Vanek used to do this but further out. Loved it

    Don’t know what happened to hockey fans recently, either they all started watching in the past month or they have all gotten brain damage.

    A slapshot is a legitimate way to score a goal, and up until the advent of composite sticks it was the premier way of getting power and speed on your shot.

    The difference between this and the Greig goal shouldn’t even have to be explained.

  21. Short answer is no.

    Long answer is noooooooooooooo.

    Do you honestly not see the difference or are you trolling?
