@yukimiura36 がんばれ〜

@Row_Show11 @RussoHockey @JoeSmithNHL @B_Marsh92 Yeah replay shows he lost it swinging at seguins shins across blue line w one hand on his stick. Kinda brutal

[sai okabayashi @saipuck]

@AnActualJohnson @StonyOil Watch it again. Instead of puck though, just focus on white tape of Vilardi’s stick.

@AlisonL Amazing!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations, @AlexMandrycky!!

@canoodleson Wait there are two s’s?? Shoot all this time…

@AlisonL @NHLtoSeattle @AshonIce Thank you, Alison!! My first and only web project. It really does make me happy that folks still find value in it!

[sai okabayashi @saipuck]

@NHLtoSeattle @AlisonL @AshonIce FYI I think the iPhone 4 had just come out when I last worked on this…. I’m sure there are more modern sources for this!

[sai okabayashi @saipuck]

@JMallory9 @CoachRevak This is great stuff. That the shot went in is the least remarkable part.
I also wonder how this can ever be captured with player tracking data. Sure puck possession but perhaps the instantaneous gap creation can stand out

[sai okabayashi @saipuck]

@stephen_burtch Yeah agree w your initial assessment!

[sai okabayashi @saipuck]

@stephen_burtch Only seen this gif but puck looked unsettled + little spin off release might mean a knuckly shot

[sai okabayashi @saipuck]

@acthomasca @lynneelizabeth Definitely tweet worthy!

[sai okabayashi @saipuck]

@draglikepull Ha!! Def more fun!

[sai okabayashi @saipuck]

@draglikepull Numbers like that make me suspect bug!!

[sai okabayashi @saipuck]

@acthomasca How and when do you know which side was better?

[sai okabayashi @saipuck]

@ShutdownLine Right?? How long is chara supposed to cover that! Jensen esp looked all outa sorts there
