Alexander Radulov's first goal back in the NHL

[boompuffboom]

i cam here to say i thought i saw kovalev cut through the middle there...

hella nice goal, most def had it coming, hes been working so hard out there, making plays, taking hits. Good job Rads!!

 

[EveryDay]

After 3 games so far, he's been MTL best forward in each game. I didn't know he was soooo skill.

Really happy to have him in MTL.

 

[bobermay]

Beautiful. Good call.

So much better than Paul Romanuk

 

[Uncle Gary]

No, I'm asking why this goal counted but Malkin's goal didn't. Either both should have counted or neither should have counted, it's annoying that these rulings are so inconsistent.

Maybe because Gallagher was pushed into the crease by the Penguins defender?

Time to sign him
10 years - $120M

 

[The Nightman]

Radulov has been a beast

 

[vid387]

He sent Cole sliding to the corner with his curl and drag move. That's the skill Radulov is known for, and great patience to score the goal. Dumoulin pushed Gallagher in the blue paint, but even then, Fleury bit on that fake shot and was scrambling to get back in position. Would've been a goal even without Gallagher in the crease.

Not sure you know what a curl and drag is..

 

[Fledgemyhedge]

Yay Radulov!! Haven't watched a habs game yet but I am very pleased to hear that he's been one of the habs best forwards so far

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Not sure you know what a curl and drag is..

That's exactly it. Push the puck ahead and pull it back when the def reaches out for it. Radulov's move was more like a fake shot but it's the same principle.



That's a great example of a curl and drag.

 

[Habsfunk]

It was both a nice goal and it should have been called back. Does that make sense?

 

[Filthy Dangles]

You absolutely could not have scored that goal.

Wut r u talking about he's an nhlsniper

Great example indeed....actually made me say wow irl haha.

 

[Hackett]

Gallagher impeded the goalie but one can argue he was driven/pushed there

Yeah, it was called a goal on the ice so you have to have definitive proof that the pens d-man had ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with Gallagher making contact with the goalie.

That would have been a shocking overturn to disallow it, but I guess nothing should surprise me with the nhl and their video decisions.

 

[Hokinaittii]

I like this new, more mature Radulov. We need big and skilled players like him into the league.

 

[ijuka]

Maybe not the best time for that kind of statement...on the power play and goaltender interference to get his first.

Did you see the play where he protected the puck for like 10 seconds with 1 hand against 3 Penguins?

 

[Tage2Tuch]

But, but... Radulov isn't a legit top 6 forward!

Did that make you feel better writing that.

By your Logic almost every player in the league are top six forwards if all you need to do is score one goal

Few players have the patience and the skill to score a goal like that. That's the first of many for Radulov.

 

[Bouboumaster]

Rad is totally amazing.
Bergevin need to extend him asap

Guy has a mean mug. Havent seen him smile yet. Thats his face all game.

It's okay, Shea Weber does all the smiling for the Habs these days anyways.

 

[Jigger77]

Like a Kovy who doesn't mind mixing it up a bit. I like. Let's hope it keeps up, minus the high sticking penalties.

 

[Acallabeth]

Not sure you know what a curl and drag is..

Not sure you know the guy you're talking to is a world champion.

 

[Ainec]

haven't watched this game but thought Radulov was a responsible player in the defensive zone in the first 2

 

[AvroArrow]

But, but... Radulov isn't a legit top 6 forward!

it's 1 goal in 3 games...chill. and that on a play in which the goalie got knocked over (his own defenders fault) but still had no chance to make a save
