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.”

Somewhere Brett Hull is giggling. In all the years since Hull’s little incident in the Stanley Cup Finals against Buffalo where Hull got a goal even though he was cleary in the crease.

Apparently, refs and instant replay are a bit paranoid (or incompetent, either one) and causing trouble for the goaltenders because Tyler Bozak of the Toronto Maple Leafs gets his goal pulled back off the board for goaltender interference.

It’s a bogus call as Bozak didn’t appear to really be in violation, just the opposite of Hull’s allowed goal, and the goal is disallowed.

I’m not sure what the refs were doing or why the rules don’t apply to review this goal but it appears the refs made a rush judgement and it should have been corrected. Simple plays like this should not be happening in 2012. I mean, this isn’t a World Cup Soccer game here.

Even though this non-goal happened early in the game, the Leafs would go on to lose to the Pens 5-4.

Marc-Andre Fleury goes to the two-pad stack to make a save. It works but doesn’t quite get the job done. Thankfully, Pens defender Kris Letang makes a diving save of his own to highlight a sweet 3rd period comeback by Pittsburgh to beat the Leafs 5-4.

Tyler Bozak of the Toronto Maple Leafs was having some more bad luck Tuesday night. First, Bozak’s goal gets disallowed. Then this happens. On a breakaway attempt Bozak gets stuffed by Marc-Andre and then the pucks sails to the left. Kris Letang is there to save Fleury’s tail with an equally nice save.

Well, there goes my dream of a sequel to Jean-Claude Van Damme’s “Sudden Death,” the 90′s action movie centered around the Pittsburgh Penguins and their ugly home arena affectionately known as the Igloo.

Pittsburgh’s Civic Arena, one of the oldest in the league when it was replaced by the CONSOL Energy Arena, was still standing around. I never really thought about it but since the beast was still up I just figured it was already destroyed.

Instead, and much to my delight, the building was still up and set to be torn down this week. I love a good explosion and had hopes of this beast being blown to smithereens but sadly it was just taken down by the panels. Still cool, though.

Check out this video of workers begining the destruction of the Igloo.

This is why players should be mic’d up for big games. During the 2012 NHL All Star Game in Ottawa, Ontario, we were treated to a great shootout by Team Chara and Team Alfredsson. In the end, home favorite Daniel Alfredsson and his hand-picked team lost to Team Zdeno Chara, of the Boston Bruins, 12-9 at Scotiabank Place.

Marian Gaborik’s three goals and one assist topped Alfredsson’s two goals and one assist, which nixed Alfredsson’s chance at MVP as Gaborik took the trophy.

In the first period, Henrik Sedin of Team Alfredsson makes the score 3-2 in favor of Chara and after the score you can hear Sedin’s linemate for the game, Philly’s Scotty Hartnell, drop some trash talk on rival Maple Leafs defender Dion Phaneuf as he skates by the Chara bench. Check out the great line at about 27 seconds into this video.

This little dude might be old enough to know better but I don’t blame him for taking a shot!

Joey the Junior Reporter, described below, is a wee lad with a talent for hitting on the ladies. Check out this video from the 2012 NHL Fantasy Draft where Joey hits on the NHL Network’s Heidi Androl.

Yowza!

[via Sportress of Blogitude] The 2012 NHL Fantasy Draft was held on Thursday night in Ottawa and if there’s one video you need to see from the festivities, it’s this one. For those unfamiliar with the wee lad, he goes by Joey The Junior Reporter, he’s a spry six-years-old and he has been adorably plying his trade for the past few years covering the Chicago Blackhawks. And despite his youthful appearance, you should not underestimate him. The kid knows his hockey. And after watching the above video, I have also learned he’s got more game as it relates to macking on the ladies than most adult males.

The L.A. Kings decided to get the most out of their All-Star break time. The team is just not quite famous enough and that’s a bad thing in Hollywood. Thankfully, the Fame Makers are there to help Mike Richards, Anze Kopitar, Matt Greene, & Drew Doughty become the biggest fishes in the pond.

The Fame Makers (Neil Campbell & Mike Hanford) meet up with the stars of the NHL’s Los Angeles Kings (Mike Richards, Anze Kopitar, Matt Greene, & Drew Doughty) to show them the tricks on how to be famous.

Oh, the humanity!

Not since the Vancouver Riots ripped through the city have I seen such a vicious attack by Canucks fans. Check out this video of the Canucks Kevin Bieksa being mauled on the bench by 5 different Canucks fans.

[via Bob's Blitz] The Vancouver Canucks held their annual Canucks Super Skills competition at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, B.C., on Sunday January 22, 2012. Defensemen Kevin Bieksa was attacked by (right to left) Makayla Kesler, Reese Bieksa, Anna Hamhuis, Oliver Salo and Peppi Salo. Video evidence follows.

Philly’s Scott Hartnell, despite needing a haircut, did his best to impress his dad this weekend. And pop must be proud as the shaggy haired Hartnell pulled out his 6th career hat trick against the Boston Bruins.

In the stands you can see Hartnell’s dad wearing the biggest smile in the world as he watches on as his son lights the lamp. Not a bad day to check out your kid at his work.

The natural hat trick occurred in the second period and the fans littered the ice in the proper tradition which made the officials postpone the remaining 46 seconds of the second period to clean up the hats.

[via Yahoo! Sports] Hartnell got Philadelphia within 3-2 on a power-play goal a few minutes into the period when he blasted a one-timer while down on one knee.

Hartnell then scored a nifty goal to tie it at 3. He caught a pass from Giroux, dropped the puck, turned around and lifted a shot over defenseman Adam McQuaid that fluttered above Thomas’ stick.

Hartnell put the Flyers up 4-3 in the final minute of the period. He lost his stick during the shift, skated over to the bench to grab another one, returned to the circle and ripped another shot past Thomas.

Fans littered the ice with hats to celebrate Hartnell’s sixth career three-goal game and first since Dec. 20, 2008. With only 46.5 seconds left in the second, players went back to their lockers and added the extra time to the final period.

First off, and you’ll noticed this in the video as well, is that the alt jerseys for the New York Islanders are God awful.  I mean nasty.  This franchise can’t do anything right. It looks like a decaying smurf, circa 1995 and I don’t even know what that means it’s so nasty.

But just the opposite of the Fugly Isles jerseys is the perfect OT goal by John Tavares. Despite looking fashionably horrendous, Tavares doesn’t let it stop him from strutting his stuff.

John Tavares, the top pick of the 2009 NHL draft, knocks the puck from mid-air and propels the Isles to an OT win. It’s the Isles third straight win and fourth victory in five games.
