  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Great goal

This has been poping up all over, kids name is Oliver Wahlstrom. Dad played hockey in sweeden I heard. Good stuff, but personally for me the kid from Texas, Max Gerlach who did it at intermission of a Stars game on bad ice infront of 15k is way more clutch. Plus this kid admits in an interview of getting the idea from gerlach. The goalie even attempted to stop him.

Legal yes.
Your odds of doing it in game at full speed are pretty much nill. Defender will get you. You rarely see anyone get enough time and space to pull a move like this. If you look the kids are skating at half speed doing this. Full speed with a defender back checking you would be wy to hard. If you attempted it and botched it coach would likely sit you down for the rest of the period for screwing up a breakaway. Also someone would likely beat your ass if you pulled it in game. Maybe not immediately, but likely before games end :) One of the issues you see with this is that while the kids are talented the goalies are still learning. they are not comming out to challenge the shoter and take away his space. That with a defender back checking equals low success in game. Now on a penalty shot or shot out more likely.

The move is a variation on the michigan. Its called the michigan because.......

The last 2 videos are much more likely in game. The issue is I could see some fight occurring as a result of the shooter showing up the goalie. There is a reason you dont see anyone do it in the nhl. You do see it in roller hockey though a little more
