Dennis Seidenberg Spectacular Slap Shot Goal from Center Ice!

February 2, 2012 – Dr. Rush

If you are a goalie you definitely do not want to be on this type of highlight reel. To make matters worse, it happened midway through the third period in a tie game.

Senators goalie Craig Anderson gets embarrassed when the Bruins Dennis Seidenberg winds up from center ice and lets one fly. The puck kicks up just enough to slip past Anderson, who looks like someone just ran over his puppy which is what you’re supposed to look like if you let in a goal from 90 feet.

Dennis Seidenberg wound up and stepped into a slap shot from center ice, hoping just to get the puck deep into Ottawa’s zone or maybe generate a quick rebound.

Seidenberg was as surprised as anyone else to see the puck skip off the ice, then get past Senators goalie Craig Anderson for the tiebreaking goal with 12:51 left as the Boston Bruins rallied for a 4-3 win on Tuesday night.

“I don’t know if it was a lucky bounce or the way it came off of my stick,” Seidenberg said. “It just seemed to bounce off the ice and kind of was rising up and it was tough to read I guess for him and somehow it went in.”
