Eight years ago today Jason Chimera nailed the "really, really high tip" play. And people say he had no hands.

i know it wasnt today


but I was at this game and I was leaning down putting to grab a beer I put under my seat and the goal went in and all I felt was the air leave the building and I looked up in time to see all our players deflated going back to the bench. I knew we wouldn't win another one that second. Cloutier only recovered his game in the playoffs the year he blew his knee out and didnt finish the series against Calgary. I loved that goalie man but holy shit did he crumbled under pressure.

Were you able to pick up the beer cleanly?
Did you have your pads behind it just in case?

I wish I knew this offhand, but I'll take a guess - Howie Meeker?

Was watching it live.

Gretz and Ovechkin are really similar, huh?

One Patty Waah meltdown later, and Colorado has a Cup.
