So he actually wasn't the ebug but the official backup goalie.
Fans acting like the dude won the game for them
🤔 lol did I miss it?…..
😊😊😊
Classy move by the Oilers coaching staff to give him a memory of a lifetime!
They should sign him he looks calm and ready
Great. Greetings from "Berlin", Germany 🙂
Глаза этого парня говорят о многом.
Looking at the first save, I thought the EBUG was already in net 😀
He should get drafted into the nhl, he had a 1.000 save % and 0.00 goals against
Icing should have been #33 the 3rd star otg.
Cheers to the Oilers for letting him get out there and into an NHL game!
Good for you Matt Berlin!!!!
Take note – this is the night that cemented this group as a team. If all goes well, this should inspire them to go on a tear after the all star break.
Come on put him in earlier. It’s 7-3
The Berlin Wall !! Stands
Thank you to whoever let Campbell get his 23.5 saves before pulling him!!
Thats awesome!
You'd think that the NHL would know he wasn't the EBUG
EBugs is such an underrated fantasy team name
there was no emergency to call him,fake EBUG
the first few times this happened over the last decades was interesting, now it is patronizingly weird. what's next — randomly picking people to be in net in the last minute of a lopsided game???
Germany capital needs to celebrate too.😂
Did the NHL get rid of its rule against this? I hope so. EBUGs are always basically minor league caliber goalies anyways, there's no harm in it at all.
Respect on Mcdavid for that told woody to put him on
He's only 25 so he has shoot at being a backup or a starter in the future if he develops good
Imagine rolling into class Monday morning asking Matt how his weekend went and you absolutely pale in comparison.
What is it, he’s not good enough to play at all?
that is going to be night for Berlin.
Desharnais couldn't let Berlin be the last one on the ice? I'm guessing he has a thing with that.
Class act by the Oilers. Way to go!
"night to remember"… sure, ok.
Now Berlin can officially join the rest of the Oilers at the World Championships when the playoffs start.
Love it!
Pretty cool for that guy
