ECHL game ends after most unlikely overtime goal ever
There is an old saying in hockey that, "a goal doesn't have to be pretty to count." Last night in Game 1 of the Toledo Walleye versus Cincinnati Cyclones playoff series, a fluke goal ended the game in overtime.
With the game tied 2-2 with approximately 5 minutes left, Toledo's John Albert threw the puck around the net and that's when things got interesting. The puck appears to a stanchion behind the net and it took an extremely unlikely bounce. The puck shot out and struck Cyclone's goalie, Michael Houser in the back. Off of Houser's back the puck ended up in the net behind him.
This goal gave Albert his 3rd goal of the game and the Walleye a 1-0 series lead.
