Despite both teams being mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, you just have to watch this goal and laugh.
Last Monday, the Chicago Blackhawks fell to the Buffalo Sabres 6-5 with Buffalo scoring one of the strangest goals we've seen this season. That goal also happened to be the dagger that found Buffalo leaving Chicago with the win.
The Sabres rallied from down 4-0 to eventually tie the game, only to fall behind once again 5-4 in the third period, tying the game once more then scoring this ridiculous goal to take their first lead of the night with 12 seconds left in the game.
Tage Thompson took the slapshot that broke his stick, which ended up banking off the boards & sneaking in past Lankinen from behind.
This goal perfectly sums up the disappointing Blackhawks season, and Kevin Lankinen showed his frustration on the goal post after he realized what had happened.
The 26-year-old goaltender has had a frustrating season with Chicago, posting an abysmal 4-10-6 record through 20 games with a .888% SV% and allowing 3.61 goals/game.
