Game 36 Afterwords: Jason Spezza Literally Scores a Shorthanded Goal, and a Few Other Things

  • Jason Spezza killing penalties is awesome. I’ll do a post on how this all happened sometime, but for now, I’m just really pleased that this is working. If we can’t watch Ales Hemsky play goalie in my fantasy universe, this is the next best thing.
  • I also couldn’t help but notice the contrast between Spezza and Benn’s breakaways. Spezza, for one, made his own after roasting Vrbata 1-on-1. Then Spezza made a strong move and roofed it against the grain to beat Mike Smith. Jamie Benn, meanwhile, with far more time and space, tried a weak five-hole move that didn’t work for me when I was playing rec hockey either.
