I can't blame him for freaking out, refs a total retard. First one was a rebound, which you can't have in a shootout, and the second one is hard to say which crossbar it hit.

Anyone who makes fun of him for this doesn't know what it's like to be a goaltender. The amount of pressure they put on themselves piled with what everyone else expects of them is enormous. Any goaltender who's played awhile has had a few of these freak outs. Seeing that puck cross into the net is like seeing your best friend fucking your girlfriend to us

You love the goalie when he's on his game, but blame him for any goal that gets past him, then make fun of him when he loses it.

I hear what you're saying with the pressure they're under, but that still is no excuse to act like a friggin mental patient. The video tape would do all his talking for him if it indeed hit the crossbar. Then, the ref would look like an idiot and the goalie could save face for future consideration in the NHL instead of being committed to an insane asylum. Besides, you don't think refs are under any pressure? LOL They probably get more death threats than anyone.

I cant tell if hegets a stick on the puck on the 1st, but i dont think he does. I also dont think the puck ever moves backwards/stops forwards progress (also very close). I think the 1st was good. The 2nd one though, by the way the shooter reacted and by Rasks reaction, its obvious the ref fucked up (even though we cant really tell either). I think this is funny, but Rask has to do what he has to do. Goalie's have a ton of pressure on them, and if the ref fucks up, they gotta let everyone know.

Thats Tuukka Rask isnt it?

[JohnKulo]

That ref is a fucking idiot.

"The puck must be kept in motion towards the opponent's goal line." Did not move forward!

The second one went off the post. Don't you fucking mess with Tuukka Rask!

@hckyroxs You apparently don't know that there was no rebound in the first one.
