Quickie B.S.

Check out this b.s. goal submitted by @pattmorter.  He scored this goal with Steve Sullivan during an online matchup. 


I've scored goals when my player was on his knees before, and I've scored goals using the diving poke-check method (especially in 09).  But I've never seen a goal result from a violent stick sweep like this one before.  I have to say, big f-up on your opponent's part for failing to freeze this puck.  He obviously tosses it into the slot with Neal, Malkin, and Sullivan in his face.  So I'm obligated to dock some b.s. points right there.  Of course, if the computer had made such a grievous error, you would have gained b.s. points galore.  All-in-all, I'd still see it fair to grant this a 6 out of 10.  I think you got a little lucky because of the goalie blunder, and your timing with the stick sweep was also lucky.  But the b.s. that stands out to me most is the wicked velocity this shot has and the pinpoint accuracy of this sort of atypical stick handling.  That and the fact that Sullivan was laying on the ice before the goalie even dropped the puck.  And plus one for scoring b.s. with the Pens!
