Around the NHL: And so it begins

That 1st goal was brutal. No NHL goalie should be letting anyone score from that angle.

That is the spot that modern goaltending gives up to better protect against a cross-crease pass.

It is the trade off that goalies make regularly to reduce the odds on the higher danger play working.

Gibson's post integration was pretty good given that it was on his blocker side post. The only way to be better on that chance while playing a modern game is merely being taller and making that small window in the top corner a little bit smaller.

I dunno man, I think sometimes when you fit a 3" puck inside of a 5" slot you gotta give the shooter kudos

I know first hand what it’s like to stop my organization, investigate, and report crimes. It’s not easy for the organization. But it must be done. Anything less is wrong and evil.

I remember Drury going to that spot above the goalie's shoulder from down there a few times years ago. But yeah, that shouldn't be a thing at this level.

Regardless, that's a world-class snipe.

Also, I don't fault Gibson on either goal, but I still wouldn't want him in any Eichel trade to Anaheim.

Fīat jūstitia ruat cælum.

I never took Latin, but have leaned a bunch over the years, and am too proud to google translate.

"let there be justice (something) heaven"

or "let there be justice (something) to those in heaven" (or to "us in heaven")

does ruat mean "prevail" or "prevail in"?

I didn't take Latin either and am not too proud to use Google.
