It’s not often I see an NHL goalie do something that makes me say “hey, I could have done that” but tonight I did a few times. It’s nice to see these guys are human, and you gotta feel for them. Vesa Toskala let in a goal that, while officaly counting as a shot on goal, clearly would not have gone in if he weren’t in the net. Every goalie gets one of these on their resume eventually.

Ottawa Goalie Brian Elliott

Ottawa Goalie Brian Elliott didn’t quite control this long shot the way he would have hoped. He turned a fairly harmless shot into a high lob over himself and into the net…

And just so these guys don’t feel too badly, here is TSN’s top 10 goaltending gaffes – wait, Toskala’s in here as well with his famous 197 footer against the Islanders. Oh well, I think I’ve had a version of each on of these at some point.
