Curiosities and courage NHL (NHL)

The last few days were marked by fun, and sometimes hurtful incidents during matches of the regular season NHL.

About them and would like to tell. This week there was an unprecedented curiosity in the NHL. The match between «Colorado Avalanche» and «Florida Panthers» (from 3: 4), due to the nature of contracts to broadcast the matches were able to see only those who come into the arena. TV companies have not been able to find a middle ground and battle of two teams that once played in the Stanley Cup Finals, remained out of airtime.










«Pittsburgh Penguins», meanwhile, continued their winning streak. At this time, suffered «Toronto Maple Leafs». Captain "penguins" Sidney Crosby (Sidney Patrick Crosby) also extended his productive series to 17 matches, filling out a double. Outcome of the meeting of 5: 2.











On the same day received a full plate in the match between «Vancouver Canucks» and «Anaheim Ducks». On the 2nd minute "killer" injured striker "ducks" Perrosa George (George Parros), thereby setting the hard nature of the meeting. Offenders were in the minority and were punished by the puck into his own net.



A few minutes later the Vancouver equalized, and after 11 seconds burst forth.







At the beginning of the second period, a fight broke out between Aaron Voros and Kevin Bieksa (Kevin Bieksa).



As a result, the period ended with the score 3: 2 in favor of the guests.



In the third period the hosts passed again - 2: 4.



Closing the gap Daniel Sedin (Daniel Sedin) 3: 4.



Prior to this, guests were forced to replace goalkeeper. After a powerful attack Christian Ehrhoff, the puck bounced off the goalie mask, causing a large cut.



One minute before the end of the "killer" is removed and compared by the goalkeeper! In overtime, the same happened a few incidents. Christian Erhoff charged puck in the ear (probably revenge for the goalkeeper). And then Corey Perry (Corey Perry) lost his nerve, and he moved after the whistle Sedin in the jaw. Anyway, in the course of the match was a lot of collisions.











Outcome of the meeting decided a series of shootouts, which won the owners of the site 5: 4
