4. Vancouver scoring on their own net

Whenever something goes wrong for a rival team, I get so happy. I’m pretty sure I gain a year on my life every time something weird happens to another team.

This was in the Calgary Flames third game this season. It was against the Vancouver Canucks and it was in Vancouver. The Flames had a delayed penalty, so the Canucks did what any team would do, and they took out their goalie for the extra attacker.

But that doesn’t always go in favor of the team. The Calgary Flames know this from first-hand experience.

Two years ago in December of 2014, the Flames took out their goalie for an extra attacker, also during a delayed penalty call. And who were they against? Well it was none other than the Vancouver Canucks! That’s what makes this especially weird. Two year later after that incident, the Canucks score on their own net also on a delayed penalty call. In the same building. With the same commentators.

What’s also funny is that this was Loui Eriksson‘s debut as a Canuck. Loui, Vancouver brought you to score goals! On the right net!

But, the sad thing is that the Flames still managed to lose both games (boo). Oh well, life goes on.
