OtF Play of the Week (10/11-10/17) (fixed)

by Michaeltastic on Oct 23, 2009 6:07 PM EDT

Good thing there were 4 games this week. Otherwise, it would have been very difficult to find 4 plays. 1 point out of a possible 8 just isn't going to cut it (Sadly, the Titans are jealous).

Here's last week winner.

D.(Sabres @ Predators 10/10) Pekka Rinne's multiple saves at 15:15 in the 3rd. Rinne was the only reason the Preds even have chance in this game. He had some amazing saves like this all night.

This week's videos after the jump.

There are no videos from the first 2 games, as those games deserve no recognition.

A. (Blackhawks @ Predators 10/15) Pekka Rinne's multiple saves at 15:52 in the 1st. Well, this was the complete opposite of what we saw in the 1st period of the 2 games before this.

B. (Predators @ Capitals 10/17) Shea Weber's goal at 14:29 in the 2nd ( Patric Hornqvist, Marcel Goc). Finally! It's about time the big man got his goal. Nice laser shot right by Semyon Varlamov. This gave the team some energy after another depressing 1st period.

C. (Predators @ Capitals 10/17) J.P. Dumont's goal at 16:04 in the 2nd. Although this was somewhat of a fluky goal, it was nice to see somebody hustle to the puck and put it towards the goal. Good things happen when you put the puck on net! This goal was also responsible for the 1 point we got this week.

D. (Predators @ Capitals 10/17) Dan Ellis' save at 17:54 in the 3rd. Great job by Ellis on this play to get to the other side and kick the puck away after horrible puck handling by Kevin Klein. Mike Knuble probably could have gotten a better shot on net if he was a little patient, but, nonetheless, great job by Ellis to get us into OT.

Hopefully these next 3 games will make it harder to choose 4 plays (and now I'm off to make up something for the Titans, because there is literally NOTHING to choose from)

Weber's blast and the work that lead to it...

Gotta give Goc and Hornqvist a ton of credit for working a beautiful give-and-go in the neutral zone that sprung Hornqvist into the Washington zone with speed and backed in the Caps defense to give Weber the room to uncork a cannon over the shoulder of Varlamov. Hornqvist gets extra props for continuing straight to the front of the net after making the drop pass, taking the defense with him, and providing some traffic for Varlamov to contend with. Beautiful play all around…

I agree, that play was a great effort from blueline to blueline; hopefully we’ll see more of those tee shots from Weber going forward. With Shea coming at the puck with speed and stepping into it like that, I’m guessing the goalie had some nasty underwear after seeing that shot come his way.

More fun than a stick to the face!
