HOCKEY
The Montreal Canadiens defeated the Vancouver Cannucks last after overtime. The game was very intense and ended in a 4 x 4 draw. Neither of the teams were able to score during overtime so the game was decided on the shootout.
For those unfamiliar with the term, the shootout is the ultimate tie breaker in hockey. It's a 1 v 1 duel between one team's skater and the other team's goaltender.
Both goalies did a solid job here but Montreal was able to find the net twice and bag it. Here's a video of the shootout and I'd like to highlight the goal by Petry (the very first player on the video) and the goal by Tatar, at 4:30.
Yea I find those tie-breakers full of suspense. There is plenty of pressure on both sides since one mistake costs you the game. I honestly would not be one of the goalies.
True! And it's 1v1 so it's all on you! Must be very hard on the players indeed!
That's interesting.
It's always nail biting situation during these shootouts.
