The Chicago Blackhawks' dreadful season continues loss after loss, and at this point it nearly angers some fans to see the Blackhawks earn a win, which would improve their placement in the standings, resulting in a worse-chance at drafting rookie sensation Connor Bedard.
Alongside all the losing, there is still some plays out of the Chicago Blackhawks' gameplay that stand out, good or bad that is.. the other night, it was bad.
Before we look into the bad play, Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender and many goalies around the league have been exposed for knocking the net off it's pegs as soon as the other team gets a lot of momentum and zone time, leaving the referee without a choice but to blow the play dead, it can perfectly be exemplified below:
That was the case for this past week's game when the Chicago Blackhawks visited the Ottawa Senators, where the Blackhawks would surprisingly pull through with a win, but not without a little bit of controversy after goaltender Petr Mrazek was reportedly noticed by media and fans for purposely knocking his net off the pegs.
#Blackhawks are lucky Petr Mrazek didn't get penalized for this
I'm no scientist, but if you watch the video in slow-motion Mrazek's arm clearly extends and pushes the post, he is lucky a penalty was not assessed.
