Nicklas Backstrom Scores an Own Goal - Mar 9 08 - Pens/Caps

[sabresman31]

Lol. What a loser.

[9499emsjo]

Ovi stand up. // emsjo.com

[katem32]

Oh jesus fucking crybaby get up Ovechkin

[sebbe91]

what the fuck was he thinking?! :S

/Swedish guy

[Aarennn]

I understand mccabe trying to clear the net.. what the fuck was backstrom trying to do on this play...

[goinghard101]

And then he goes on to tell us that is indeed wearing a RED jersey, and wears 19. OMG! that is Backstrom! this Pierre guy was right all along. Im a Pierre fan, just fun to make fun here and there

[DuckyAgent]

Ed: "...And is that Nicklas Backstro-"

Pierre: "BACKSTROM SCORES IT IN HIS OWN NET ED!"

Pierre is such a meathead lol

[goinghard101]

@DuckyAgent lol !!! so good. was thinkin of writing the same thing. People like that are hillarious.. your just thinkin to yourself.. ' right, yup, we got that, but thank u for YELLING IT!! '

[abe1002]

lol look at ovechkin

[drdanglez91]

not all his fault huet wouldnt have saved it nine times out of ten no matter who's on the back door... and that's why hes had such a great career lol

[NaziJuice]

@drdanglez91 lol he was just helping get it over with.

[robbyx4595]

Game 5 of the first round of the playoffs

[killyou6500]

was this a play off game or like a game that they could have clinched a play off spot??? cause ovechkin and the goalie made it look like they just game 7 of the stanley cup

[CaPzFaN4eVa1]

@killyou6500 At that time the Capitals were struggling to make it to the play-offs and every point counted

[RonSchinners]

backstrom get credit for that?...lol

[datsyuk134life]

crosby is such a good passer he helps backstrom get a goal for him

[XXhockeylifeXX]

if you watch the clock at the top of the screen at the begining of the video then you will see that there was less than one minute left and the game was tied

[XXdominator555XX]

best part by far is little alex obitchkin cryin on his knees :)

[excelsior27]

@XXdominator555XX agreed. NOW who's the crybaby...?

[nikademis22]

probably a reflex from practicing so much, (just feel it touch the stick and fire it)

Anyone else think its funny that crosby is credited with the goal??

[LeafsJaysRapsFan09]

mccabe did this in OT and steve smith and chris philips put one in their own nets in the stanly cup finals so at least backstrom isnt the only one

[xXxDBOYxXx]

@LeafsJaysRapsFan09 Steve Smith was worse, it was for the Oilers vs the Flames and later became the captain of the Flames. Coincidence? I think not!

[xdalemhartzx]

i think he tried to put in behind the net to clear it but still (FAIL)

[msingh96]

Lol it looked intentional. Not even a tip; a shot

[raran44]

I love how Ovechkin starts crying on the ice after the goal

[hockeyyismylife]

even as a caps fan, i think this is funny, mostly because im pretty sure this is the last time the penguins actually beat the capitals in regulation in the regular season. hilarious that backstrom had to put it into his own net for that to happen.

[xxsnowboarderxx21]

@hockeyyismylife even though the Pens beat the Caps in a shootout in like December I think?

[CanadiaMiliatry15]

I play goal and I hate when my D put it in my one net.

[hockeyyismylife]

@CanadiaMiliatry15 if thats a regular occurance you should switch teams.

[TheSpencel]

its even funnier because its tied with 30 seconds left

[mirredav]

this made me hungry.

[MajinSpleen]

Apparently own goals are Ovechkin's Kryptonite

[Rosvolainen]

Ovechkin's and Huet's reactions are awesome.

[Volkerr26]

This wouldn't be so bad if it was against anyone but the penguins... poor backstrom :(

[aninjru]

I think he might have been trying to clear it behind the net cuz #9 on the pens was right there otherwise... I dunno. either way, its too bad.

[guitarstar21484]

in Soviet Russia........ aw hell nevermind, this is too funny on its own!!!!

[mmeweb3411]

so thats how crosby is getting all his goals...

[razorslice17]

This play earned him a healthy scratch the next game xD

[bishoppx]

lmao, crosby gets soooo many lucky goals.

[Milkou991]

There is like 4 niklas bäckstroms

[evanderlazer]

Backstrom is so severely overrated its disgusting.

He's a point leatcher off of Ovechkin pure and simple.

case and point, Ovechkin scored 106 points, 52 goals ALL BY HIMSELF as a rookie in 05-06.

Ovechkin has only 12 goals this year in 37 games

Backstrom? 35 points in 37 games

and no small sample size against the pnathers last year is going to convince me otherwise

Backstrom is only as good as Ovechkin allows him to be

the true definition of a point compiler and nothing more

[almstrom95]

his first NHL-goal ;)

[LouiEriksson]

LOL i love both Bäckströms but this is just hilarious! It almost looks like that hi did that on purpose lol

[RandomStarcraft]

Backstrom just decided to help Crosby.

[TheRaunchyTofu]

Niklas Backstrom of the Pittsburgh Penguins ladies and gents! hahaha

[crazyperson3245]

shit pierre mcguire is everywhere

[thecolourblue100]

I'm not a Caps or a Pens fan, but man poor guy, he must have felt like shit after that...whatever though at least he's still a good player, people aren't going to remember him just for this, because everything good that he accomplishes pretty much cancels this out...it's not like Patrick Stefan; where the only thing I can literally remember about his career is the empty net incident...

[nikoluts]

poor Nicklas, i feel bad for him



[wamji84]

the reaction of Ovechkin is priceless ;)

[offspring52487]

wtf? I can swear around 1:03 I never see the puck go in, just come out.

[SpelaSource]

@offspring52487 it already went in

[Xyoutubx3rsunit]

eh capitals beat penguins

[Cverz87]

lol look at ovechkin just sitting there crying

[Game877129]

I <3 Nicklas Backstrom for this reason. GO PENS!!!!!!

[NebraskaFan77]

Another Caps Choke job

[razorslice17]

Poor Backstrom ='( 

[SuperJohan47]

ha!look at ovetskin



[sebbeks]

what a distasteful reaction by ovechkin...

[Doublesky07]

it's a shitty goal. penguins suck.

[camisadolee93]

Don't the Capitals suck for not being able to tell, "Hey, I know that goalie"

[HockeySeanX]

@ecwrocks143 retard

[CookieMMMonster]

was this an elimination game?

[Leca41]

swedish at best

[xgameing]

i guess blondes to have more fun

[Chargersman77]

look at oVag fall

[7890dan11]

I love Pierre shouting out what the other announcer is already saying

[x124357689]

lmfao

[gonelikedinner]

I've done something like that before..just the heat of the moment and your trying to get rid of the puck...you dont really have time to think..just get rid of the puck..I'm pretty sure I've tried to shoot it across the crease...and then it goes of the goalies back and in..lmao it is the worst feeling in hockey

[TheWitchOvAgnesi]

@gonelikedinner

LOL, me too. I had my goalie bitch me out for doing it too.

[sidcrosbyfan087]

0:50 seems to sum it up : ) backstrom is still a great player though.

[joyfulvulture]

backstrom is a blonde.

[sr016ify]

Wth is backstrom thinking?!

[staldex]

backstrom & ovechkin, together for a decade. The media will feed on the matchup of perhaps the best 1-2 punch against crosby-malking.

[finnhockeykid]

I'm from Finland I should laugh for nicklas backstrom but his a great hockeyplayer and this was sad case :(

[Mikxuuz]

"dislike"

[oligirl101]

The best thing EVER!!! Ovi's reaction is PRICELESS hahahahaha

[TEEDDE170]

bra jobba t

[striker265]

lmfao ovie

[vrambo]

Hahh, not his finest moment... I'd say he definitely redeemed himself this year though!

[Grabbabba]

Its hard enough to listen to Pierre mcguire on tsn but on nbc too! Thats too much for me!

[lilljonsan]

this was he´s first game in NHL

[MrBrynas4ever]

kom tillbaka till brynäs:(

[KGfan7]

haha backstroms the man

[doh23]

After this though they only lost like 2 or 3 games to make the playoffs

[LegendofDelzaLol]

the only known blemish in what is to be a fantastic career for nicklas backstrom

[templetonbob]

@LegendofDelzaLol Might have been a little more than a blemish...

[LegendofDelzaLol]

@templetonbob well i'm not so sure...own goals aren't so severe in that they have a decent probability of happening...especially with so much chaos around the front of the net like that - and backstrom does so much more good than some people notice - this is almost nothing on an excellent track record he's made for himself

[templetonbob]

@LegendofDelzaLol C'mon, find me another elite player like Backstrom who has done this...very uncharacteristic of such a talent

[mccarthy155]

@LegendofDelzaLol look at him this year, garb

[LegendofDelzaLol]

@mccarthy155 averaging nearly a point per-game and having the best +/- on the team he's playing pretty well.

[hockeyyismylife]

@mccarthy155 look at him tonight, not garb.

[afr1c4np3ngu1n]

@LegendofDelzaLol plus the lack of a stanley cup but i dont know what you people in washington think a fantastic career is

[LegendofDelzaLol]

@afr1c4np3ngu1n well I'm actually a Rangers fan living in New York - but anyway a good career isn't defined by how many stanley cups you win...it's about the impact you make on the sport itself and the teammates you play with.

[densomtarhanhar]

Nevermind saw info now lol...

[densomtarhanhar]

Who won the game?

[wickenoftheklicken]

hes stick got locked so he couldnt make the full move, thats why he scored on his own net.

[Slippar247]

joke joke... lol

[HarbourCitySax]

LMAO OVECHKIN'S REACTION 0:50

[ripdaclip]

ya gotta feel a little sympathy for him lol

[fagwfag]

SLippar fuck u, sweden pwnz in hockey so stfu

[Slippar247]

lol

[Slippar247]

well... backstrom is swedish... that is normal swedish hockey

[wc123]

even though it's not true, you gotta admit that's a hilarious comment.

[nathanbrown17]

@Slippar247 , yeah you know it is normal swedish hockey, they all shoot the puck in their own nets. you dumbass

[Jallica19]

@nathanbrown

Sweden rules

[nathanbrown17]

yeah i know haha, i was bein sarcstic in my last reply

[VelocityDJ]

skön...t självmål

[maxtaxmedlax]

@VelocityDJ hahahaha

[AVikka1]

NERO!!!!

[xlatinabebe]

omg , it broke my heart into pieces when ovi fell to kis knees like that

seriously ='(

[gobluejackets61]

Ummm. why?

[xlatinabebe]

because , he wants it so bad , hes passionate , and i love him ...

lol

you can see hes really sad .. aergooo ,, im sad.

[gobluejackets61]

I would hope he wanted it bad, or else he shouldn't be there. I don't feel bad for him, and I like Ovie. I just think he felt worse for his buddy Backstrom.

[xlatinabebe]

yeah i like ovi and backie

i feel bad for the whole team .

its just hard knowing that someone who has to be so strong mentally can just break down like that , whether it be for himeself or his teammates . i guess sometimes i forget hockey players are humans too ..

[gobluejackets61]

everyone does, thats why when tragety strikes a team they are officially showed as humans, like the Bengals with Chris Henry. Im a CBJ fan but I do like semin, Ovie, Backstrom, The Staals and Malkin.

[hompola96]

look at ovechkin... i hate him... 0:49

[tycewwerox]

ovechkin beats crosby anyday. ovechkin can get a hole in one kick a field goal and get hat tricks. what can crosby do? besides cry. your so wrong hompola96

[provetamin]

nice goal.. and he has great positioning to... oh wait.

[lilljerker]

Poor backstrom

[Nudelkrydda]

pinsamt

[AlftaUngh]

kyyhkyboy.... u forgot like, forsberg, sundin and näslund, all 3 of them are better then any player in Finland imo:)

[lassi666]

wow, Backström is on fire :D

[JannuBoy89]

That's bullshit.

[MrSouthural]

Ну и кадр! Попутал конкретно.

[hockeyqueen]

haha loved ovechkin's reaction

[JannuBoy89]

SKILL OF THE SWEDISH!!! :D:D:D

[mongopojk]

comes from a finn lol u have 1 gold we have 9 + 2 OS finland sucks the only stars u ever had is sellänne and kurri sweden had like 14 stars...

[JannuBoy89]

At least we dont do own goals every day.

[KyyhkyBoy]

Let's watch our countries populations. Our Finns is about 5.2 millions, yours is about two times that, so that's one of the reasons why you guys have more so-called "stars"...

[mongopojk]

lol still that means we should have 4stars thats twice as much but we have like ten times as much  and population has been proven not tomatter watch USA idiot...

[KyyhkyBoy]

Our stars at this time are Mikko Koivu, Saku Koivu, Miikka Kiprusoff, Niklas Backström, Teemu Selänne, Olli Jokinen, Jere Lehtinen, Tuomo Ruutu and Kimmo Timonen. Your stars are Henrik Lundqvist, Daniel Alfredsson, Nicklas Backstrom, Loui Eriksson, Zetterberg, Franzen, Lidström and the Sedins, so we don't have so much difference in the players right now.

[mongopojk]

kurri and selänne are the only players in finland that has reached even the 700 points mark, koivu and others isn't star material...

[KyyhkyBoy]

Do you even watch NHL??? You say that if player doesn't score over 700 points he's not a star??? Mikko Koivu is Minnesota's captain and one of the underrated players of the game. Saku Koivu, former Canadiens captain and was over 10 years as a Habs captain. Player doesn't has to be a 30-40 goal scorer to be a star. For example, Jere Lehtinen has won Selke trophy 3 times, and he's not your caliber as a star. Superstar and star are different things.

[mongopojk]

koivu and tohers are good becasue they play with better players i mean real star material... every hockey player aint a star and koivo sint a good leader

[KyyhkyBoy]

Ducks have some good players yes, but Minnesota doesn't have a lot of star material, except Havlat and Backström. And why Mikko Koivu is the current captain of the Wild if he's not a good leader? And Saku was over 10 years as a Habs captain, and he's still not a good leader? Why they then wouldn't just name captain someone else?

[mongopojk]

habs sucks ass they have not won ANYTHING and wilds SUCKS ass and Have not won anything? get the point?

[KyyhkyBoy]

Habs suck ass? Yea yea, 25 Stanley Cups... Wild doesn't suck, missed the playoffs last year with one point. So, you mean that players must play in the good teams to be a star? How about Kovalchuk? Almost every season 30-40 goals? Shane Doan, one of the underrated guys of the game, 31 goals last season, not a star? But whatever, i'll stop this crap. OK, let's get back to point: Everybody scores an own goal somedays, and that just happens. I'm not mocking Nicklas Bäckstrom, great scorer.

[matty2k001]

goals dont mean anything, do you play hockey? because id doubt it, and BTW habs have 24 cups and yes for that reason are considered the best NHL overall.

[jasonsvw]

The past doesnt mean anything, all that matters is this season. The current habs have won.... zero stanley cups, so those 25 from the past say nothing about your team now

[Nudelkrydda]

u forgot nicklas kronwall,michael nylander,kristian huselius, mikael samuelsson, samuell pållson, thomas holmström, janathan erikson, victor hedman, alexander edler, mattias öhlnd,kim johonson

[underwaterboy]

and why sweden taught you to play hockey since we influenced your country for the last 500 years?

[phille22]

what the fuck is he doing... blackout or what. and pretty important goal too

[clayman1919]

ovechkin wants to punch him out

[hawkeykid63]

whoops!

[selects20]

must be an awful feeling when something like that happens.

[toniitaliaa]

Kanske han spelar i första kedjan för Sverige i OS;)

Nicklas jag vill pussa dig, mums!

[mnwild1019]

crosby is a little baby

i can play better then that .. thing

and captain.. HA

3rd in league in being a pussy

right behind

malkin

and tootoo

penguins blow!

[dldetwi]

Maybe Crosby is a baby, but you'll never see him drop to all fours and put his head on the ice in anguish after another team scores a goal like Ovie did here (in a REGULAR SEASON game, none the less).

[fBL0ND]

LOL

[bakismannen]

HAHA...han gör ju som tommy ...

in english, his mentor did the same thing....

[spasm37]

You see Ovechkin like... noooooo has he melts into the ice.

[68nevets68]

Still looking for where "Sidney Crosby missed a wide open net". Stupid announcers.

[chechak01]

Lets go over what the 3 stars of the caps do

Semin-When he fights he slaps ppl like there drums

Backstrom-Scores on his own net and gets checked by his own player

Ovechkin-Checks his own players.. and obviously wants to get f*cked up the ass as the vid shows

[BluesRaconteur]

I'm guessing you're a Pens fan, so let's go over your "stars".

Crosby- bitches to refs and dives

Malkin- gets beat in fights that he starts and dives

Marc-Andre Fleury- gives up incredible rebounds and is a general pussy

[chechak01]

Marc-Andre Fleury- Top 3 goalie in high pressure situation lets look at the examples

2008 Pens v Redwing 3ot one of his best games

2009 Pens v Caps gm 7 robbed Ovie on the first rush which put all of the momentum on our side

2009 Pens v Redwings gm 6 1 goal given up

2009 Pens v Redwing gm 7 1 goal given up in gm 7 in the JOE

[chechak01]

no u obviously dont no anything about the pens stars u fucking dumbass

Crosby-3rd in the league in points and overall great captain

Malkin-BEST player in the NHL right now if u dont agree u are either bias or u dont no anything about the NHL

[BluesRaconteur]

You're saying I have a bias? You refuse to acknowledge the beast of a player named Ovechkin who has done all he's done on a team with NO ONE as good as Malkin. Malkin is not the best player, you can see that clearly without a bias on your part. Crosby and Malkin feed on each other, so they end the season with high stats. Who on the Caps does O.V. have that is anywhere as good as either of those players or who dives as much to get an advantage? Answer that, you pussy.

[Antihobo71]

Somehow I don't think they're going to mind your jealousy. Let's redo it one more time eh?

Crosby- strongest skater in the league. best playmaker by a long shot.

Malkin- most dangerous man in the offensive zone with an amazing slapshot, wristshot, and passing. AND he walks through players like they're little kids.

Marc-Andre Fleury- carried his team to back to back shots at the cup.

JEALOUSY isn't attractive.

Btw Malkin and Crosby play on different lines. Moron.

[jasonsvw]

Wow homerific much? Nice try but no..

Crosby strongest on the puck? Might be top ten but not better than players like Nash, Frolov, Getzlaf etc when it comes to puck protection.

Malkin is top 5 most dangerous on offense ill give you that, but not hands down best, there are others who are close

MAF... .. Osgood carried DET back to back as well, and more times overall so with your argument he is better than MAF? Fleury is very good, but he is not elite yet

[Antihobo71]

well atleast you gave respect where its due, so ill respectfully disagree, i still honestly believe all the things I said about those 3 amazing players.

MAF is gonna get an olympic seat next year, which is incredible when you look at his competition. And also I find it at least interesting that the people you named for puck protection over Crosby are pretty big guys. Good points tho.

[jasonsvw]

Dont get me wrong, I do think all 3 of them are amazing players and I would happily take any of them on my team. Fluery should get a shot at the olympics no doubt.

Yeah Getz and Nash are big guys, Frolov and Crosby are pretty similar size.

I would agree that Malkin is probably the most dangerous all around offensive player. Not top dog in any one category, but great at everything.

pens fans are lucky to have all three dont take it for granted haha

[Antihobo71]

yea no kidding. and thats why i rock the 71 in my name, the guys an offensive machine. I cant think of one offensive category that he isnt in the top 5, plus now hes stealin pucks and moving them up ice. fucking scary... Malkin<3

[Timm1995]

what fan are you?

[chechak01]

(Backstrom)-Hey Ovechkin i can snipe 2... the goalie didnt even see it coming!

[THEONLYSCOUTMASTER]

poor bäckström.. shit happens

[PiTTs871]

wooow backstrom's pretty good though

haha!!!1 ovechkin sad i feel sorry for him

[Rosvolainen]

Vet inte vad som är roligast, det här eller när han var med i Lilla Sportspegeln. Jag sympatiserar med honom för båda händelserna men bara lagkamraternas reaktioner tar det här till nästan samma nivå som det ökända japanska självmålet i mitt tycke.

[Serkkulainen]

Hahahaha What he doing???;D

[TDF9090]

haha look at ovechkin behind backstrom............thats funny

[erkkiesa0]

Crybaby ovie xD

[Asiancomedian]

hej felix du hade FAN ett självmål till mig

[xMeAndMyBlackParadex]

aww that poor baby! :']
