Looking back at the Best Shootouts of the Regular Season

[diacope 1,696]

This week I decided to look at all 57 shootouts this season and find out which teams had the best duels, after selecting my favorites and creating a list I was left with a lot of nominations so I ended up with a few lists, the best goaltending, the best goal scoring and the longest duels we've had, leaving out the shorter shootouts where there was only a few saves or goals. These are the best of the best, which one do you think is the most entertaining?

Game 491 | HC Davos Dynamo vs. Toronto Legion

This game went 9 rounds and both teams didn't give up after a nail biting start going back and forth, in the end it was the goaltenders who prevailed but it would be veteran Jaxx Hextall coming out victorious with a save against a defender, Shawty Nananana, giving his team the edge in the next round with a sniper Jon Webber who stops the nightmare with backhand fake, forehand wrister past a stretched out Kunibuni UnGuri's glove

Game 340 | Warsaw Predators vs. Malmo Nighthawks

In our longest shootout of the season we see a back up goaltender duel it out with a starter, Jacob Carson and Artem Tretiak, who both had 8/11 stops in a 22 shooter shootout but it would be the Predators Carson to stop a shot against an offensive defense Alexei Kamenov and a depth player Gino DiGiannantonio who finally solved Tretiak

This was a fun idea and was extremely well executed with team logos, colors, an easy to read format and hidden contents! As part of the Nighthawks team to lead the league in shootout wins (6), this was enjoyable to relive some of those games. I would suggest adding player tags to get more exposure and to recognize the great performances you highlighted. Overall, though, this was a beauty! Awesome job @16z! This should become a seasonal article.

Review: 10/10 

[diacope 1,696]

Thanks guys! I always try and cover something that exists but doesn't get much mention, I had a lot fun with writing and researching this one. Everybody who was involved should remember or realize that there was shootouts with 2 goals, 11 rounds and only 2 goaltenders with 4 straight saves, obviously going into it I don't know what to expect but I keep on. Knew Malmo was at the top of the list.. Wanted to include more statistics but this took me at least 8 hours so thanks for letting me know that, Los Angeles has to be second

 

Formatting needs a little work though for all viewers (mobile) but you have to put it in to catch people's eyes or make it easier for a player involved to find his or her highlight so thanks for noticing that as well. Really should have tagged people in this though but will for sure do it in the future now and remember this comment.. Always think I'm bothering people but notifications are the shit!

 

Was already thinking about writing another one of these next season and if the VSN team has an opening anytime soon, I'll be applying, would love to help out in a researcher role  Just need to proof read my stuff first before going live on a league level

I really love the idea and execution behind this article. There isn’t a whole lot of recognition for these types of games for the goalies, and I think you did an excellent job at highlighting those great achievements. I like how you separated each of the players/games and listed out the results of the games below them. Instead of just pasting them, you put them as a spoiler which offers a sort of drop down menu for each game. Really great idea to keep things organized. Fantastic work!!

 

Score: 10/10
