here’s some context for you on each goal: 0:34 Nathan Mackinnon scores an incredible goal to put the Avs up 4-3 in the dying minutes of game 5 in the second round. (the avs actually lost this game, but not a big deal considering they won the cup lol) 1:08 Auston Matthews’ scores his 60th goal of the year, an accomplishment that only very few have been able to achieve, and the first Maple Leaf (One of the most storied franchises) ever to get 60 goals in a season 1:36 Same series as the first one, a goal with 5 seconds left that sent the Avalanche to the WCF in their cup run 2:03 Sharks win the series in game 7 OT after being down by 3 with 10 minutes left in the third. 2:22 Capitals score in OT to finally end their second round drought and take out the back-to-back stanley cup championship pittsburgh penguins team 2:48 An OT winner in game 7 to send the rangers to the second round for the first time in 5 years 3:08 Tied the Stanley Cup Finals series in OT which the blues would eventually go on to win in 7 games 3:27 An OT winner in game 7 to send the Rangers to the 2nd round vs the capitals in a series where the rangers were a minute away from being eliminated in 5 games. 4:00 recognized as one of the best goals of all time, a game winner and just an absolutely incredible goal by rick nash. 4:24 A game 7 game winner to send the Flames to the 2nd round 4:48 A Stanley Cup clinching goal in 2OT in front of their home crowd. as a ranger fan i hate this goal but it’s definitely one of the most electrifying goals ever 5:17 A game tying goal in a game that the Islanders would eventually win in OT to win their first playoff series in 23 years 5:50 A series winner in game 7 that sent the Stars to the Western Conference Final but they would lose in the Stanley Cup Final 6:20 The cup clinching goal for the Blackhawks in the Stanley Cup Final 6:40 A not only big but beautiful goal by subban (a defensemen) that put the Canadiens up 2-0 early in an important game 3 7:05 An OT winner to force a game 7 in tampa after it appeared the Islanders had no hope after losing by 8 goals the game before, but the Islanders would lose Game 7, also the last goal scored for the Isles in this stadium 7:40 A crazy ankle breaker goal by mackinnon that got the crowd hyped in game 2 of the first round of the playofffs 8:43 A huge 4 on 4 goal that gave the Leafs a 3-2 lead in the third period of the game and series but unfortunately they went on to lose the series 9:03 An OT winner that got the wild back into the series after being down in the series 2-0 9:32 A series winner in 2OT that sent the Penguins to the Cup finals where they would win the championship 9:52 A game 7 OT series winner for the Canucks to send them to the second round and kickstart their run to the finals 10:22 A big goal that put the Rangers up by 2 and concluded a dominant, nearly 2 minute offensive zone shift that had the crowd hyped in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals 10:43 A game 7 OT series winner in round 1 for the Wild 11:10 An OT winner that tied the series for the Blue Jackets who were in pursuit of their first playoff series win ever
9:52 didnt send us to the finals, it sent the Canucks to the second round and kickstarted our run to the finals. Bieksa scored an OT clincher in game 5 of the WCF against San Jose to get us to the finals
If the team all runs and hugs on the side it's probably a mid-series playoff win, if they hug on the side and people leave the bench it's probably a series win, if all the gear gets thrown in the air it's probably a cup win.
My advice man. Watch a Stanley Cup playoffs in it's entirety. It's the only way to truly understand what these goals mean. Highlights and video games can only convey so much, but if you watched a full 16 bracket Stanley Cup playoffs you would truly get why people lose their freaking minds over these goals.
A lot of these goals weren't spectacular goals by themselves, but taken in the context of a game 7 overtime winner, or a playoff series winner, they are amazing.
Adam, if you're confused about the context of the insanity of some of these goals, look at the top left in most cases. It shows you the goals, what period it is, shots and above it shows you what game it is in the current playoff series!❤❤❤
4:41 usually a goal like that, the goalie would be to blame, but in this scenario, the goalie was actually the star of the game. Dude had almost 60 saves at that point and almost won the game himself!
At 4:52 Alec Martinez scores the goal that won the Kings the Stanley Cup. He also just scored what would have been the Stanley Cup winning goal for the Golden Knights this year. Hes the most clutch playoff defensemen ever IMO.
lets also not forget that series was the one and only time Lundqvist got to play in the Stanley Cup finals and had to watch it all go up in smoke in double-OT. Greatest goalie to unfortunately never capture the big prize
As a Golden Knights fan I'd love to say that Alec Martinez won us the cup especially because I loosely watched hockey before Vegas came to town and I was a kings fan and watched him win it for them, but he did not. It was Reilly Smith's goal which was the 4th goal for us in game 5 in which we ended up winning 9-3.
Nate Mackinnon is one of my favorite players to watch. His speed that he plays the game with it top tier. Watching him in real time you almost can't appreciate what just happened because it happens so quick.
For some context on the LA Kings goal at 4:50, it was game 5 of the Stanley Cup Finals when Alec Martinez scored his goal. The game was in 2 OT which means that the first 20 minute OT had already been played and they were in the second 20 minute OT. That’s when Martinez scored his goal, winning the Kings their second cup. They had previously won the cup in 2012.
2:29 the reason the announcer was so excited was because that was the first time in the Alexander Ovechkin era that the Washington Capitals made it past the second round. They had struggled in the playoffs for 14 years and many playoff runs before they did that and it was a historic moment for Ovechkin’s career
The Major freakouts after s goal are usually in the playoffs and during an Overtime, and the super freakouts are during the Playoffs that Win the Series
The Washington capitals goal the announcer went nuts for was after years of not getting past the second round, that was the goal that put them through. The islanders one is the same thing. John tavares breaks the islanders' curse and get their first series win in a bunch of years. I ronically he just did the same thing with the leafs this past season. Austin matthews goal was the one that got him to 60 in the season. These goals were all definitely goosebumpy goals
There are cameras pointed at the net from outside and inside the net as well. Every NHL game is monitored at the Canadian league headquarters in Toronto. They work in a special tech office called the “War Room” which has access to every conceivable camera angle in the arenas, so if an on-ice official in a game has missed a good goal, then the office in Toronto can call in to the officials at the game and stop play so the goal can be counted and play reset up to that point.
Ok so just some context on a couple: The Kuznetsov goal for the Capitals where the announcer is freaking out was the Capitals FINALLY beating the Penguins in the 2nd round to advance to the Eastern conference finals. They had previously lost in the same round to the same team in 2016 and 2017, in addition to the same happening in 2009. The caps had lost the last 7 consecutive postseason series they played against Pittsburgh dating back to 1995. They went on to win the Stanley cup. The Kings goal by Alec Martinez was scored in double overtime (i.e., they already played an entire 20 minute overtime with no winner, this is OT2) of game 5 of the Stanley cup final and won the Stanley cup for LA. Just a general tip for hockey clips, (no disrespect I just think you'd appreciate what you're seeing more.) If you take just a brief second and pause as the clip starts, the scoreboard in the corner of the screen has all the info you need. If you look, most of these are with seconds remaining in close games, in overtime, or in a pivotal playoff moment. NHL series are best of 7 games, so for example in the LA Kings vs NY Rangers clip, the top bar shows 2OT next to the clock, and says "cup final, LA leads 3-1" meaning they are up 3 games to 1 in the series and win the best of 7 if they win the game. So just do a quick pause and scoreboard scan before watching the clip and you'll understand the context a lot easier.
The gold with Calgary (red) Dallas (green/white) oettinger went legit god mode. At that point the flames had thrown everything including the kitchen sink and he stopped all of them.
A lot of the goals are play off goals. The ones where they go nuts are series clinching goals. Some of them are just really pretty, some are statistically important (34's 60th goal).
For the Calgary flames goal (near post shot you gave ottienger a hard time for) Ottienger held a .950 save percentage for the whole series taking a heavily favourite Calgary side to 7, Calgary on the other hand had their provincial rivals waiting for them in round two and they wanted to see the battle of Alberta. So this game was tense and went double Overtime and went past midnight. And how I know all this is because I stayed up and watched and was sweating from the tension.
I remember that Burrows goal so well and yeah the crowd went frickin mental -- couldn't even hear the arena announce the goal due to the noise. Blackhawks had been a Canucks nemesis for years and kept knocking them out of the playoffs; in this series Canucks were up 3-0 and then lost 3 in a row. This was the game 7 and Canucks finally pulled the rabbit out of the hat in OT and the reaction was literally years of catharsis no joke
For easier context while you're watching I would suggest two things. 1.Take a glance at the scoreboard at the beginning of the clip. It will tell you what period the goal happened (Overtime, late in the 3rd, etc.) and it will also have a "Stanley Cup Playoffs" logo beside it which means it's a big game. 2. Listen to the commentary. In big moments, they will often say in some way or another, what is going on. The LA Kings clip that happened while you were asking for us to give you context was the Stanley Cup winning goal and the commentator said so initially. Love the videos! Keep it up man, you're hilarious!
2:25 you can see what's going at the on top left corner. "WSH LEADS SERIES 3-2" it was in OT, and the series winning goal. Washington won the series against Pittsburgh. That year they also won the stanley cup btw.
The one with the crazy announcer saying "The demons have been exorcized!" is the goal that got the Washington Capitals past the Pittsburgh Penguins for the first time in quite a while. They also got to the 3rd round of the playoffs (the Conference Final) for the first time in a long time. The announcer you heard is the radio announcer for the Caps. After the Caps won that series, they went on to win the Stanley Cup.
Caps lost to the Penguins every time they met in the playoffs dating back to like the 1990-91 season, including the two years prior to winning the Stanley Cup. It was huge for them and why the announcer was going absolutely bonkers for Kuzi's OT series winner.
The goal where it seemed the goalie should’ve had it, he made 64 saves that game and was the only reason his team had a chance. Just can’t believe that’s the one that makes it passed him :(
The Mack goal in the beginning was the best looking goal out of the bunch. The highlights must have been made before the Makar goal against Flower because that was BEAUTIFUL.
The Joel Kiviranta story in game 7 against the Avalanche during 2020 playoffs was quite amazing: Andrew Cogliano got hurt and couldn't play, Bowness pulls an ace out of his sleeve, and how about that, Kiviranta responds to the trust by scoring a hat trick and the game winner comes in overtime 😁👍
And the Kuznetsov OT series winner against the Penguins in 2018 called by the Capitals radio announcer John Walton was significant, because - it was the first time since 1998 that the Capitals advanced to the conference finals - Penguins had won the two previous series against the Capitals, and overall it was the Capitals' first series win over the Penguins since 1994.
For the Islanders goals context. 1. John Tavares scoring the tying goal late to force overtime in an eventual win for NY that was the Islanders first playoff series win in 23 years (I'm surprised that they didn't include his game winner in the video as well) 2. Anthony Beauvillier scored the game winner in overtime of game 6the Eastern Conference Finals to force game 7 in Tampa. Islanders were down 2-0 earlier in the game and this would be their last game in Nassau Coliseum (loudest building in hockey) before moving to UBS Arena. If I may, in your free time, I would highly recommend watching "Fort Neverlose" here on TH-cam. It's a great, fairly short documentary on arguably the greatest hockey team of all time. It talks about the NY Islanders Cup runs from 1979-80 to 1982-83. They are the last team in hockey, and American profession sports, to win four straight championships and still hold the record for most consecutive playoff series wins at 19.
That was the most important goal in Capitals history. It was a game seven overtime winner against Pittsburgh, a team that has knocked the Caps out of the playoffs over and over and over in crushing fashion. That was among the most cathartic goals in hockey history in context. It put them in the conference finals where they beat Tampa then won the cup against Vegas in the finals for the only title in franchise history.
When they "deke" the goalie and slide it in far side.. That's a "Deked him outta his jock strap". When you see the gloves go flying and the whole team comes piling on it's an Over Time winner. When the pass comes and it's immediately recieved and fired at the very same time; it's a "One Timer".. typically a snapshot or slapshot Nathan MacKinnon grew up in the same small town as Crosby.
5:10 In hockey, playoffs are "Best of 7" meaning first to 4 wins wins the bracket and moves on to play against the next team. Here it was the FINALS (Kings were up 3-1), game was tied and went to overtime, during overtime the first team to score wins the game. This goal was the last one needed for the Kings to win the Stanley cup, there's nothing more intense than this other than a 3-3 series going to overtime on the last game.
There's nothing quite like playoff overtime, least of all Game Seven. You hold your breath the entire time. It's like nothing you'll ever experience in soccer or any other sport. Any mistake made can end the game and/or a season. The adrenaline is UNREAL! You can be sitting but out of breath like you just ran the hardest in your life. The one at 4:47 won the championship for LA in 2014 in double overtime
If you look at the top left of the screen on the scoreboard you can usually see if it's a playoff game or not :) if you see nothing it's probably just a regular season goal, but the capitals goal was an overtime series winner that took the caps to the next round against a penguins team that has had their number for years and years in the playoffs!
The BEST way to 'get context' is to pause each clip as it starts, and check out the score, which period and how much time remaining, and see what game in the series it is as well. Playoffs mean best of 7 series, and a lot of those goals were game seven OT goals. And remember, to win the Stanley Cup, a team has to win 4 series in a row!! And, by the way, when they play the series, they play every second night, except when they travel between cities (I believe). The only extra time off they get is if they win a series quick, and the other series take longer. Also remember, that in Stanley Cup games, there are UNLIMITED overtime periods to end a game. No shootouts for Stanley Cup play. I have watched, in the past, games that went 3 or 4 OT periods, and oh boy, were those some great games.
Oh , if you love the crowd reactions , along with commentators reactions , and some historic plays... one of the goals was in there , but the San jose vs Vegas game 7. There's a video about the penalty , the 4 goals in 5 minutes... lower the volume a little , because this is the definition of great hockey moments.
The LA Kings goal by Martinez was the Stanley Cup winning goal in double overtime in game 5. Kings won the Stanley Cup 4 games to 1 (best of 7) over the NY Rangers..
As you’re watching the clips, pause each one and check the score board. For the most part, they’re playoff goals and it will tell you what round and the current series score in games (best of 7). The goal that was scored when you asked for context won LA the Stanley Cup
The Martinez one is that they were in the cup final, it’s first to win 4 games wins the stanley cup (first place) and LA (Martinez team) was up 3-1 in the series and it was OT and his goal won his team the cup.
4:47 Yea you are in a way. This was Jake Oettinger's first ever Stanley Cup Playoffs appearance with the Dallas Stars. He was in his final year of Entry Level Contract. He carried majority of the run with Dallas and took them to Game 7 as you can see in OT. Oettinger finished with 64 saves out of 67 shots (.955 sv%). He was resigned to a 3 year deal (4 mil aav) as he now is the staple of the Stars goaltending for the seeable future to come. This past playoffs although he went further (3rd round lost to eventual champs Vegas), he didn't put up similar performance to that time the year prior. Great young big goalie (6'5 225 lbs) from Lakeville, MN. He'll be up there with guys like Hellebuyck, Sorokin, Shesterkin, Vasilevskiy as one of the top goalies in the league for years to come. Regarding to that play though from Gaudreau (who now signs with Columbus Blue Jackets by the way via free agency), Otter was not expecting him to shoot from that spot. Could he overlap that play on his feet, yea that would help. But also, he had significant pressure all game long and I think it just came to a surprise that he wasn't expecting that at the time.
the reason why the Kuznetsov goal was so important was because that was the one that sent them past the penguins who in the past had beaten them almost every time they faced in the playoffs and after winning that series they went on to win the cup
You can gather a lot of context from the scoreboard display at the top. Most of these are big playoff goals, with a game tied in the 3rd period or in overtime and a lot are series-winning goals (best of 7 series). Goal at 4:54 has to be the best one, Stanley cup winning overtime goal
I think the most efficient way for you to know the context of the goal is to pause the video quickly when the scores in the top left. It has all the details (Playoff series score, if it's overtime etc..). Some of the goals were showcased because of the pure skill, but there were others that were OT Stanley Cup winning goals, cheers.
a lot of the context is in the scoreline they flash at the top of the screen for each play. It says things like "Stanley Cup Final Game 5" or "Game 7 OT"
Context for the la kings goal: they needed one more game to win the cup/ finals and in overtime/ sudden death they scored the game winning goal on the New York rangers
For the Kuzy goal clip, the Capitals hadn't made it past the first round of the playoffs for a very long time. With that win, the Caps moved on in the playoffs and ended up winning Lord Stanley's trophy. So the announcers emotion was the pure joy of a Caps fan at his team finally moving on to the second round! It was a great year to be a Caps fan, speaking as one lol🔥🔥💪💪
you’re mostly right when saying goalies should never be beaten short side on the post. but that Otter (dallas goalie) played UNREAL that series, and that was just a shitty unlucky goal that costed him the series
I feel like a lot of the time your missing the context of some of these goals. For example, that first goal you watched, if you look in the top left of the screen you'll see that its a tie game in the second round of the playoffs with three minutes left in regulation. Colorado is up 3-1 in the series and Nate Mackinnon goes coast to coast with one of the prettiest goals you'll see. Yes the goal was unbelivable to watch, but when you put it into context it just makes it that much more enjoyable and unreal how good these guys are when it matters most. Yes I spelled unbelievable wrong im too lazy to fix it.
The score display gives context on a lot of the goals - I think these are mostly playoff goals. The playoffs are four rounds of best-of-7 series (first team to win four games advances). So the first goal, it's late in the third period, tie game, second round of the playoffs, Colorado is up 3 games to 1, and that goal just put Colorado ahead in a potentially series-clinching game. (Though given the third clip, which is the same teams with Colorado leading the series 3-2, I suspect they did give up a later goal and lose in OT.) The one where the commentator went nuts was a series-winning goal in OT. Pittsburgh and Washington have been rivals for a while at this point (with Crosby and Ovechkin being two of the top players in the league), and Pittsburgh had continually gotten the better of Washington in the playoffs (8 out of 9 series meetings before this had gone Pittsburgh's way, including the previous two seasons). The Dallas goalie you called out actually had a phenomenal game to that point; the score display just before that showed that Calgary had 61 shots (!). The winning goal was a little bit soft, but he was the only reason the game hadn't been long over. The LA goal where you asked for context was the Cup-winning goal in 2OT. There is a camera in the net that can be used for reviews (along with an overhead camera that gives a better angle of the goal line) but there's nothing like the automated goal-line technology that soccer uses.
Adam, around 11 minutes in you ask if there's a sensor to detect goals. I don't know about currently, but there have been "phantom goals" in the past where the puck went through the netting and the refs mistakenly called it a goal.
A little help for the caps goal, they were unable to get past pit for years on end, pit went on to win 2 cups after knocking them out, Washington finally won against pit and went on to win the cup
Bro, on these hockey reactions, you gotta look at the score bug at the top corner. That has all the context you need I promise you. Most of these goals are Overtime in Playoffs, or late in the 3rd period of a tied game. The Rick Nash goal at 4:02 is one of the best of his career. Alec Martinez at 4:56 wins the Stanley Cup for the LA Kings, Patrick Kane at 6:23 scores the Cup winning goal for the Chicago Blackhawks. Chris Kunitz at 9:40 wins the Eastern Conf. Final in Game 7 Double OT for the Penguins. As you mentioned near the end, those are cameras inside the goals to help review close calls or questionable plays.
Yes there's a camera pointing down at the line and another one in the back facing out. There's a lot of goal reviews from those angles. and that one at 9:52 was a Game 7 OT Winner for the Canucks against the Blackhawks. The Blackhawks were notorious for eliminating the Canucks in the playoffs all the time. That year, the Canucks had a 3-0 series lead over the Blackhawks. Chicago came back in the series to even it up at 3-3 to force a Game 7. Obviously for many people the thought was well...I guess it's another loss to the Blackhawks. In this game, the Canucks were up 1-0 until the final minutes when Chicago tied it 1-1. So the arena was dead silent in doubts thinking they're losing to Chicago yet again. Then out of nowhere in OT, Burrows grabbed that puck out of the air and slapped it home to win the game and the series. That's why the crowd was so loud and explosive. The commentator even said they "slayed the dragon" because the Blackhawks were the dragon to the Canucks. Losing to them year after year. This win propelled the Canucks all the way to the finals.
5:10 the team scoring won the “championship” (Stanley Cup) after 2 OT (overtime) this is an extra period per overtime. They play 20 min a period, 3 periods in a regular game. I think it’s usually 20 min in between periods on a regular but in OT they only get 5 min. During playoffs, you have 7 games with the same team every other day, first to 4 wins.
as a calgary flames fan, i have to say ottenger played a hell of a series. that was game 7 of the series and he already faced 61 shots before that went in. sucky way to leave the play offs but he was the best goalie. in the play offs that year
Most of theses goals are during the playoffs most likely in overtime or eliminating the losing team, so that's why the celebrations are over the top because they get to advance in the Stanley cup playoffs against another team, the playoff format in NHL is you have to win 4 games out of seven against each team. So they get one step closer to the cup when eliminating a team. to win the Stanley cup you have to win 16 games against the best teams that finished on the top of the standings
5:14 los angelos just won the stanley cup. Most of these are also just goals that made the team move to the next round of the playoffs or were career goals for example auston matthews’ goal made him the only toronto maple leafs player to ever score 60 goals in 1 season
The first thing you should do when a new clip pops up is to check to see what the series score is and what game the clip is from. Every clip in here has the context at the top of the screen.
Fun fact about the 3:12 goal. At the 3rd intermission before overtime, STL's coach was taking a piss when #4 came to the bathroom and did the same. #4 looked up at the coach and said, "All I need is one more chance." th-cam.com/video/x3yark6rPNs/w-d-xo.html here's a video where the coach talks about it at 10:38
The fact the Artturi Lehkonen overtime goal to take the Montreal Canadiens to the Cup Finals for the first time in 28 years, on Quebec National day, isn't there is an absolute joke.
Adam, most of these goals are Stanley Cup playoff series winning goals . The Caps goal (chicken), was game 7 verse the Pens that launched the Caps to their first Cup. The announcer was their radio network. He was excited beyond imagination because the Pens have ruined our parade for a couple years and getting past them had been a “demon” we couldn’t exercise lately.
Not sure if anyone answered your goal line technology question. If a ref for some reason misses it someone is likely reviewing it, or will catch it crossed some time after through video replay in the "booth".Then they stop play add the goal add time on clock.
Yeah, you’re being harsh on Jake Oettinger, the goalie in the clip at 4:40 He broke records during that series for best save percentage by a goalie under 25 in the playoffs, and the 2nd most saves in a playoff game. Dude carried the team that round and was the only reason that series made it to 7 games.
Just a note but keeping track of the score/playoff series numbers at the top and listening to what the commentators are saying are a good way to have some understanding of why the goals were important.

11:10 An OT winner that tied the series for the Blue Jackets who were in pursuit of their first playoff series win ever
Lmao😂
9:52 didnt send us to the finals, it sent the Canucks to the second round and kickstarted our run to the finals. Bieksa scored an OT clincher in game 5 of the WCF against San Jose to get us to the finals
@Aloudgamer he said he sent them to the second round, kickstarting their Finals run in the op.
@@jecrex8349 had to edit it afterwards haha, didn’t catch that mistake before.
If the team all runs and hugs on the side it's probably a mid-series playoff win, if they hug on the side and people leave the bench it's probably a series win, if all the gear gets thrown in the air it's probably a cup win.
My advice man. Watch a Stanley Cup playoffs in it's entirety. It's the only way to truly understand what these goals mean. Highlights and video games can only convey so much, but if you watched a full 16 bracket Stanley Cup playoffs you would truly get why people lose their freaking minds over these goals.
A lot of these goals weren't spectacular goals by themselves, but taken in the context of a game 7 overtime winner, or a playoff series winner, they are amazing.
Adam, if you're confused about the context of the insanity of some of these goals, look at the top left in most cases. It shows you the goals, what period it is, shots and above it shows you what game it is in the current playoff series!❤❤❤
Adam probably knows since he watches soccer, but still should see this comment.
4:41 usually a goal like that, the goalie would be to blame, but in this scenario, the goalie was actually the star of the game. Dude had almost 60 saves at that point and almost won the game himself!

"You can see that stache from the fuggn moon" - I'm dead bro 🤣
At 4:52 Alec Martinez scores the goal that won the Kings the Stanley Cup. He also just scored what would have been the Stanley Cup winning goal for the Golden Knights this year. Hes the most clutch playoff defensemen ever IMO.
lets also not forget that series was the one and only time Lundqvist got to play in the Stanley Cup finals and had to watch it all go up in smoke in double-OT. Greatest goalie to unfortunately never capture the big prize
As a Golden Knights fan I'd love to say that Alec Martinez won us the cup especially because I loosely watched hockey before Vegas came to town and I was a kings fan and watched him win it for them, but he did not. It was Reilly Smith's goal which was the 4th goal for us in game 5 in which we ended up winning 9-3.
Nate Mackinnon is one of my favorite players to watch. His speed that he plays the game with it top tier. Watching him in real time you almost can't appreciate what just happened because it happens so quick.
For some context on the LA Kings goal at 4:50, it was game 5 of the Stanley Cup Finals when Alec Martinez scored his goal. The game was in 2 OT which means that the first 20 minute OT had already been played and they were in the second 20 minute OT. That’s when Martinez scored his goal, winning the Kings their second cup. They had previously won the cup in 2012.
2:29 the reason the announcer was so excited was because that was the first time in the Alexander Ovechkin era that the Washington Capitals made it past the second round. They had struggled in the playoffs for 14 years and many playoff runs before they did that and it was a historic moment for Ovechkin’s career
The Major freakouts after s goal are usually in the playoffs and during an Overtime, and the super freakouts are during the Playoffs that Win the Series
The Washington capitals goal the announcer went nuts for was after years of not getting past the second round, that was the goal that put them through.
The islanders one is the same thing. John tavares breaks the islanders' curse and get their first series win in a bunch of years. I ronically he just did the same thing with the leafs this past season.
Austin matthews goal was the one that got him to 60 in the season.
These goals were all definitely goosebumpy goals
There are cameras pointed at the net from outside and inside the net as well. Every NHL game is monitored at the Canadian league headquarters in Toronto. They work in a special tech office called the “War Room” which has access to every conceivable camera angle in the arenas, so if an on-ice official in a game has missed a good goal, then the office in Toronto can call in to the officials at the game and stop play so the goal can be counted and play reset up to that point.
Lol "what's that horn doing?" Uhh...same thing as that dude screaming "GOOOOOOAALLLLL!"
Ok so just some context on a couple:
The Kuznetsov goal for the Capitals where the announcer is freaking out was the Capitals FINALLY beating the Penguins in the 2nd round to advance to the Eastern conference finals. They had previously lost in the same round to the same team in 2016 and 2017, in addition to the same happening in 2009. The caps had lost the last 7 consecutive postseason series they played against Pittsburgh dating back to 1995. They went on to win the Stanley cup.
The Kings goal by Alec Martinez was scored in double overtime (i.e., they already played an entire 20 minute overtime with no winner, this is OT2) of game 5 of the Stanley cup final and won the Stanley cup for LA.
Just a general tip for hockey clips, (no disrespect I just think you'd appreciate what you're seeing more.)
If you take just a brief second and pause as the clip starts, the scoreboard in the corner of the screen has all the info you need.
If you look, most of these are with seconds remaining in close games, in overtime, or in a pivotal playoff moment.
NHL series are best of 7 games, so for example in the LA Kings vs NY Rangers clip, the top bar shows 2OT next to the clock, and says "cup final, LA leads 3-1" meaning they are up 3 games to 1 in the series and win the best of 7 if they win the game.
So just do a quick pause and scoreboard scan before watching the clip and you'll understand the context a lot easier.
I came here to provide the Caps context too, well done sir
This reaction had me crying no joke “brother take a breath” 🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
The gold with Calgary (red) Dallas (green/white) oettinger went legit god mode. At that point the flames had thrown everything including the kitchen sink and he stopped all of them.
I still see Johnny Gaudreau in my nightmares...
A lot of the goals are play off goals. The ones where they go nuts are series clinching goals. Some of them are just really pretty, some are statistically important (34's 60th goal).
You mean austin Mathew’s
@@deanandchris1 no, I was referring to Auston Matthews, but instead of butchering the spelling, I went with 34.
@@JohnA891absolutely beautiful comment
Nathan McKinnon is sometimes called the "Tazmainian Devil" because he's fast and sometimes winds up injured
For the Calgary flames goal (near post shot you gave ottienger a hard time for) Ottienger held a .950 save percentage for the whole series taking a heavily favourite Calgary side to 7, Calgary on the other hand had their provincial rivals waiting for them in round two and they wanted to see the battle of Alberta. So this game was tense and went double Overtime and went past midnight. And how I know all this is because I stayed up and watched and was sweating from the tension.
Bro was insane and is now one of the best
And we should also keep in mind that Dallas and Edmonton had a rivalry going in the mid-90s to mid-2000s; so, that would have been pretty fun to see.
Then Edmonton smacked them and sent disemboweled their Roster after that.
@@50mattman Avalanche and Golden Knights: We can say the same about your defense and goaltending, Edmonton.
@@manzac112 Edmonton has a strong core under contract, all of Calgary's core left. Nice try
I remember that Burrows goal so well and yeah the crowd went frickin mental -- couldn't even hear the arena announce the goal due to the noise. Blackhawks had been a Canucks nemesis for years and kept knocking them out of the playoffs; in this series Canucks were up 3-0 and then lost 3 in a row. This was the game 7 and Canucks finally pulled the rabbit out of the hat in OT and the reaction was literally years of catharsis no joke
In the martinez clip where he threw the gloves. That was the goal that won the stanley cup for the kings
For easier context while you're watching I would suggest two things.
1.Take a glance at the scoreboard at the beginning of the clip. It will tell you what period the goal happened (Overtime, late in the 3rd, etc.) and it will also have a "Stanley Cup Playoffs" logo beside it which means it's a big game.
2. Listen to the commentary. In big moments, they will often say in some way or another, what is going on. The LA Kings clip that happened while you were asking for us to give you context was the Stanley Cup winning goal and the commentator said so initially.
Love the videos! Keep it up man, you're hilarious!
2:25 you can see what's going at the on top left corner. "WSH LEADS SERIES 3-2" it was in OT, and the series winning goal. Washington won the series against Pittsburgh. That year they also won the stanley cup btw.
MacKinnon is at his peak a top 5 player in the world and a lock for the Hall of Fame with a lot of time left in his career
The one with the crazy announcer saying "The demons have been exorcized!" is the goal that got the Washington Capitals past the Pittsburgh Penguins for the first time in quite a while. They also got to the 3rd round of the playoffs (the Conference Final) for the first time in a long time. The announcer you heard is the radio announcer for the Caps. After the Caps won that series, they went on to win the Stanley Cup.
Caps lost to the Penguins every time they met in the playoffs dating back to like the 1990-91 season, including the two years prior to winning the Stanley Cup. It was huge for them and why the announcer was going absolutely bonkers for Kuzi's OT series winner.
The goal where it seemed the goalie should’ve had it, he made 64 saves that game and was the only reason his team had a chance. Just can’t believe that’s the one that makes it passed him :(
The Mack goal in the beginning was the best looking goal out of the bunch. The highlights must have been made before the Makar goal against Flower because that was BEAUTIFUL.
The Joel Kiviranta story in game 7 against the Avalanche during 2020 playoffs was quite amazing: Andrew Cogliano got hurt and couldn't play, Bowness pulls an ace out of his sleeve, and how about that, Kiviranta responds to the trust by scoring a hat trick and the game winner comes in overtime 😁👍
And the Kuznetsov OT series winner against the Penguins in 2018 called by the Capitals radio announcer John Walton was significant, because
- it was the first time since 1998 that the Capitals advanced to the conference finals
- Penguins had won the two previous series against the Capitals, and overall it was the Capitals' first series win over the Penguins since 1994.
For the Islanders goals context.
1. John Tavares scoring the tying goal late to force overtime in an eventual win for NY that was the Islanders first playoff series win in 23 years (I'm surprised that they didn't include his game winner in the video as well)
2. Anthony Beauvillier scored the game winner in overtime of game 6the Eastern Conference Finals to force game 7 in Tampa. Islanders were down 2-0 earlier in the game and this would be their last game in Nassau Coliseum (loudest building in hockey) before moving to UBS Arena.
If I may, in your free time, I would highly recommend watching "Fort Neverlose" here on TH-cam. It's a great, fairly short documentary on arguably the greatest hockey team of all time. It talks about the NY Islanders Cup runs from 1979-80 to 1982-83. They are the last team in hockey, and American profession sports, to win four straight championships and still hold the record for most consecutive playoff series wins at 19.
That was the most important goal in Capitals history. It was a game seven overtime winner against Pittsburgh, a team that has knocked the Caps out of the playoffs over and over and over in crushing fashion. That was among the most cathartic goals in hockey history in context. It put them in the conference finals where they beat Tampa then won the cup against Vegas in the finals for the only title in franchise history.
When they "deke" the goalie and slide it in far side.. That's a "Deked him outta his jock strap".
When you see the gloves go flying and the whole team comes piling on it's an Over Time winner.
When the pass comes and it's immediately recieved and fired at the very same time; it's a "One Timer".. typically a snapshot or slapshot
Nathan MacKinnon grew up in the same small town as Crosby.
5:10 In hockey, playoffs are "Best of 7" meaning first to 4 wins wins the bracket and moves on to play against the next team. Here it was the FINALS (Kings were up 3-1), game was tied and went to overtime, during overtime the first team to score wins the game. This goal was the last one needed for the Kings to win the Stanley cup, there's nothing more intense than this other than a 3-3 series going to overtime on the last game.
5:50 Ah yes, Kiviranta who was an injury replacement that game scored the series clincher which happen to also be a hat trick
I was at that flames and stars game loved watching us move to round 2
ugh the first one made me tear up because i remember it like yesterday
There's nothing quite like playoff overtime, least of all Game Seven. You hold your breath the entire time. It's like nothing you'll ever experience in soccer or any other sport. Any mistake made can end the game and/or a season. The adrenaline is UNREAL! You can be sitting but out of breath like you just ran the hardest in your life. The one at 4:47 won the championship for LA in 2014 in double overtime
When adam uploads i jusr look and realize the best youtuber has uploaded
Gonna need you to react to Tage Thompson goals. Dude is 6'7 and is a human highlight reel.
If you look at the top left of the screen on the scoreboard you can usually see if it's a playoff game or not :) if you see nothing it's probably just a regular season goal, but the capitals goal was an overtime series winner that took the caps to the next round against a penguins team that has had their number for years and years in the playoffs!
The BEST way to 'get context' is to pause each clip as it starts, and check out the score, which period and how much time remaining, and see what game in the series it is as well. Playoffs mean best of 7 series, and a lot of those goals were game seven OT goals. And remember, to win the Stanley Cup, a team has to win 4 series in a row!! And, by the way, when they play the series, they play every second night, except when they travel between cities (I believe). The only extra time off they get is if they win a series quick, and the other series take longer. Also remember, that in Stanley Cup games, there are UNLIMITED overtime periods to end a game. No shootouts for Stanley Cup play. I have watched, in the past, games that went 3 or 4 OT periods, and oh boy, were those some great games.
Oh , if you love the crowd reactions , along with commentators reactions , and some historic plays... one of the goals was in there , but the San jose vs Vegas game 7.
There's a video about the penalty , the 4 goals in 5 minutes... lower the volume a little , because this is the definition of great hockey moments.
You often get good context by watching the scoreboard at the top.
Especially in this compilation where most goals are in the playoffs!
The LA Kings goal by Martinez was the Stanley Cup winning goal in double overtime in game 5. Kings won the Stanley Cup 4 games to 1 (best of 7) over the NY Rangers..
5:06 was the double overtime game winning goal that won the Kings the Stanley Cup
As you’re watching the clips, pause each one and check the score board. For the most part, they’re playoff goals and it will tell you what round and the current series score in games (best of 7). The goal that was scored when you asked for context won LA the Stanley Cup
Insane goals!!!
The Martinez one is that they were in the cup final, it’s first to win 4 games wins the stanley cup (first place) and LA (Martinez team) was up 3-1 in the series and it was OT and his goal won his team the cup.
In terms of goal line tech, there is actually a camera in the net, you can see it sometimes, the puck hits it quite often these days lol.
Sick vid adam
4:47 Yea you are in a way. This was Jake Oettinger's first ever Stanley Cup Playoffs appearance with the Dallas Stars. He was in his final year of Entry Level Contract. He carried majority of the run with Dallas and took them to Game 7 as you can see in OT. Oettinger finished with 64 saves out of 67 shots (.955 sv%). He was resigned to a 3 year deal (4 mil aav) as he now is the staple of the Stars goaltending for the seeable future to come. This past playoffs although he went further (3rd round lost to eventual champs Vegas), he didn't put up similar performance to that time the year prior. Great young big goalie (6'5 225 lbs) from Lakeville, MN. He'll be up there with guys like Hellebuyck, Sorokin, Shesterkin, Vasilevskiy as one of the top goalies in the league for years to come. Regarding to that play though from Gaudreau (who now signs with Columbus Blue Jackets by the way via free agency), Otter was not expecting him to shoot from that spot. Could he overlap that play on his feet, yea that would help. But also, he had significant pressure all game long and I think it just came to a surprise that he wasn't expecting that at the time.
10:42 proud to see a Swiss score too! Btw it‘s called a goalies mask not helmet.
5:12 Its Stanley Cup Final, series is 3:1 for them and this was a second overtime winning goal so they got they Stanley Cup. :)
This guys is basically a hockey fan at this point he knows all the big players 😂
the la kings/ new york rangers game around 5 minutes was the stanley cup or the championship for hockey hence the celebration
1:02 the horn indicates that the home team scored, and it only goes off when the home team scores
I always like the wrestling reactions! Also you should do more with your brother because that was hilarious
That LA goal was the one that won the King's their second Stanley Cup in three seasons
Adam, I love you and your videos.
the reason why the Kuznetsov goal was so important was because that was the one that sent them past the penguins who in the past had beaten them almost every time they faced in the playoffs and after winning that series they went on to win the cup
You can gather a lot of context from the scoreboard display at the top. Most of these are big playoff goals, with a game tied in the 3rd period or in overtime and a lot are series-winning goals (best of 7 series). Goal at 4:54 has to be the best one, Stanley cup winning overtime goal
I think the most efficient way for you to know the context of the goal is to pause the video quickly when the scores in the top left. It has all the details (Playoff series score, if it's overtime etc..).
Some of the goals were showcased because of the pure skill, but there were others that were OT Stanley Cup winning goals, cheers.
a lot of the context is in the scoreline they flash at the top of the screen for each play. It says things like "Stanley Cup Final Game 5" or "Game 7 OT"
Context for the la kings goal: they needed one more game to win the cup/ finals and in overtime/ sudden death they scored the game winning goal on the New York rangers
As a Caps fan, I will always remember the goal at 2:22 when we finally beat the pens. Go caps!
Love it Adam - you are there…knowing what’s gonna happen on ice…
Still amazed
Our game bud - no nationality needed
4:41 facts
Adam, McKinnon’s second goal was his rookie year when he was 18
For the Kuzy goal clip, the Capitals hadn't made it past the first round of the playoffs for a very long time. With that win, the Caps moved on in the playoffs and ended up winning Lord Stanley's trophy. So the announcers emotion was the pure joy of a Caps fan at his team finally moving on to the second round! It was a great year to be a Caps fan, speaking as one lol🔥🔥💪💪
😂😂👍💪 @shanetrout8103
Best type of video
game 6 ECF isles vs lighting 2 years ago was the islanders last game at nassau coliseum 7:18
you’re mostly right when saying goalies should never be beaten short side on the post. but that Otter (dallas goalie) played UNREAL that series, and that was just a shitty unlucky goal that costed him the series
I feel like a lot of the time your missing the context of some of these goals. For example, that first goal you watched, if you look in the top left of the screen you'll see that its a tie game in the second round of the playoffs with three minutes left in regulation. Colorado is up 3-1 in the series and Nate Mackinnon goes coast to coast with one of the prettiest goals you'll see. Yes the goal was unbelivable to watch, but when you put it into context it just makes it that much more enjoyable and unreal how good these guys are when it matters most. Yes I spelled unbelievable wrong im too lazy to fix it.
The score display gives context on a lot of the goals - I think these are mostly playoff goals. The playoffs are four rounds of best-of-7 series (first team to win four games advances). So the first goal, it's late in the third period, tie game, second round of the playoffs, Colorado is up 3 games to 1, and that goal just put Colorado ahead in a potentially series-clinching game. (Though given the third clip, which is the same teams with Colorado leading the series 3-2, I suspect they did give up a later goal and lose in OT.)
The one where the commentator went nuts was a series-winning goal in OT. Pittsburgh and Washington have been rivals for a while at this point (with Crosby and Ovechkin being two of the top players in the league), and Pittsburgh had continually gotten the better of Washington in the playoffs (8 out of 9 series meetings before this had gone Pittsburgh's way, including the previous two seasons).
The Dallas goalie you called out actually had a phenomenal game to that point; the score display just before that showed that Calgary had 61 shots (!). The winning goal was a little bit soft, but he was the only reason the game hadn't been long over.
The LA goal where you asked for context was the Cup-winning goal in 2OT.
There is a camera in the net that can be used for reviews (along with an overhead camera that gives a better angle of the goal line) but there's nothing like the automated goal-line technology that soccer uses.
Adam, around 11 minutes in you ask if there's a sensor to detect goals. I don't know about currently, but there have been "phantom goals" in the past where the puck went through the netting and the refs mistakenly called it a goal.
The Martinez goal was the one that won them the Stanley cup. I think I remember in an interview he said kind of blacked out once he scored.
A little help for the caps goal, they were unable to get past pit for years on end, pit went on to win 2 cups after knocking them out, Washington finally won against pit and went on to win the cup
The Martinez goal came in game 5 of the Stanley cup finals in double overtime. That goal won them the Stanley cup
From a rebound off a Toffoli shot
Bro, on these hockey reactions, you gotta look at the score bug at the top corner.
That has all the context you need I promise you.
Most of these goals are Overtime in Playoffs, or late in the 3rd period of a tied game.
The Rick Nash goal at 4:02 is one of the best of his career.
Alec Martinez at 4:56 wins the Stanley Cup for the LA Kings,
Patrick Kane at 6:23 scores the Cup winning goal for the Chicago Blackhawks.
Chris Kunitz at 9:40 wins the Eastern Conf. Final in Game 7 Double OT for the Penguins.
As you mentioned near the end, those are cameras inside the goals to help review close calls or questionable plays.
Yes there's a camera pointing down at the line and another one in the back facing out. There's a lot of goal reviews from those angles.
and that one at 9:52 was a Game 7 OT Winner for the Canucks against the Blackhawks. The Blackhawks were notorious for eliminating the Canucks in the playoffs all the time. That year, the Canucks had a 3-0 series lead over the Blackhawks. Chicago came back in the series to even it up at 3-3 to force a Game 7. Obviously for many people the thought was well...I guess it's another loss to the Blackhawks. In this game, the Canucks were up 1-0 until the final minutes when Chicago tied it 1-1. So the arena was dead silent in doubts thinking they're losing to Chicago yet again.
Then out of nowhere in OT, Burrows grabbed that puck out of the air and slapped it home to win the game and the series. That's why the crowd was so loud and explosive. The commentator even said they "slayed the dragon" because the Blackhawks were the dragon to the Canucks. Losing to them year after year. This win propelled the Canucks all the way to the finals.
5:10 the team scoring won the “championship” (Stanley Cup) after 2 OT (overtime) this is an extra period per overtime. They play 20 min a period, 3 periods in a regular game. I think it’s usually 20 min in between periods on a regular but in OT they only get 5 min. During playoffs, you have 7 games with the same team every other day, first to 4 wins.
as a calgary flames fan, i have to say ottenger played a hell of a series. that was game 7 of the series and he already faced 61 shots before that went in. sucky way to leave the play offs but he was the best goalie. in the play offs that year
The LA kings one was an OT winner to win the Stanley Cup. That's why dude threw his gloves and everyone freaked out
The only thing better than a game winning goal is a series clinching goal! 👊🏼👍🏼❤️
Most of theses goals are during the playoffs most likely in overtime or eliminating the losing team, so that's why the celebrations are over the top because they get to advance in the Stanley cup playoffs against another team, the playoff format in NHL is you have to win 4 games out of seven against each team. So they get one step closer to the cup when eliminating a team. to win the Stanley cup you have to win 16 games against the best teams that finished on the top of the standings
5:14 los angelos just won the stanley cup. Most of these are also just goals that made the team move to the next round of the playoffs or were career goals for example auston matthews’ goal made him the only toronto maple leafs player to ever score 60 goals in 1 season
The first thing you should do when a new clip pops up is to check to see what the series score is and what game the clip is from. Every clip in here has the context at the top of the screen.
Fun fact about the 3:12 goal. At the 3rd intermission before overtime, STL's coach was taking a piss when #4 came to the bathroom and did the same. #4 looked up at the coach and said, "All I need is one more chance."
th-cam.com/video/x3yark6rPNs/w-d-xo.html here's a video where the coach talks about it at 10:38
For the Kings goal is in the Overtime and won the 2014 Stanley Cup against the Rangers
The Vancouver goal was the last time Canucks fans were happy with the team. 😄
The fact the Artturi Lehkonen overtime goal to take the Montreal Canadiens to the Cup Finals for the first time in 28 years, on Quebec National day, isn't there is an absolute joke.
bro said to ask other questions when he was a literal brick wall that game 😭😭
That's actually a video camera inside the back of the net
Adam, most of these goals are Stanley Cup playoff series winning goals . The Caps goal (chicken), was game 7 verse the Pens that launched the Caps to their first Cup. The announcer was their radio network. He was excited beyond imagination because the Pens have ruined our parade for a couple years and getting past them had been a “demon” we couldn’t exercise lately.
I’m not a caps man but man that’s one of my favorite goals of all time because of the announcer I’m always beyond hype 💪
@@redmoongaming7122 Caps radio announcer : John Walton. He’s great. They call him the rooster.
Not sure if anyone answered your goal line technology question. If a ref for some reason misses it someone is likely reviewing it, or will catch it crossed some time after through video replay in the "booth".Then they stop play add the goal add time on clock.
Yeah, you’re being harsh on Jake Oettinger, the goalie in the clip at 4:40 He broke records during that series for best save percentage by a goalie under 25 in the playoffs, and the 2nd most saves in a playoff game. Dude carried the team that round and was the only reason that series made it to 7 games.
Them not having Sam Rosen call that Panarin goal is criminal
Just a note but keeping track of the score/playoff series numbers at the top and listening to what the commentators are saying are a good way to have some understanding of why the goals were important.
