Ekholm crashes into net just in time to save goal



Watch as Brandon Montour breaks in and almost gets the puck past Pekka Rinne but Mattias Ekholm crashes into the net saving a goal.

  1. I'm early and anticipating a lot of angry duck fans! Run for your life! (Ps I'm neutral in this series, don't hate me duck fans it's only a joke)

  2. Not sure if you guys saw the video (as it was literally just taken down) but as i went to click it the title said "preds fans throw skinned duck during stoppage" is this true or not, because if it is that is almost as bad when they denied to sell tickets to those who didn't live in Tennessee

  3. Cmon delusional nashville fans. You bet your ass this should be a penalty shot the dude hits the puck then you clearly see him push the net off. Bet your ass this will be a rule change next year.

  4. Idk but it seems like Ekholm was the one pushing the puck towards the goal. Looked like the puck would have hit the post if not or the puck might not have even reached the goal line. Pure speculation of course.

  5. Tough break (not like the Ducks weren't the benefit of several last round), but he didn't knock it off on purpose, and the puck crossed partially over the peg hole. Had it crossed fully inside of it I think they would have counted it as a goal. Correct call was made.

  6. Need someone to tell me how they suddenly change direction on their knees while sliding down the ice at 25+. He had to brace he was clearly going to hit the damn post. Good call on no goals all night by refs. And I'm a preds fan.

  7. I'm gonna complain about this goal for the rest of the series because we cannot come back from it, and then the whole next round too because I just cannot get over this!!! I hope all the Predators die horrible horrible deaths because clearly they are paying off the refs!

    Hold up, I am not an Oilers fan…

    Forget everything I just said.

  8. Did they forget about the rule if a guy purposely takes the net off to safe a goal it should be a penalty shot?

  9. next year, plays like this should result in an automatic delay of game penalty, like putting the puck over the glass. as of now, if there's any kind of dangerous situation in your end, you can just dive into the post, knock the net off it's mooring and get a faceoff. i know this play wasn't overtly intentional but a threat of a penalty would make defenders more cautious about taking that risk.

  10. Why are people complaining that this should be a penalty shot? Ekholm made the play that caused the net to move before ducks even passed the puck. He didn't just move the net just to save the goal there was nothing Ekholm could have done to stop himself crashing
