Vegas Golden Knightsin maalivahti Carter Hart sai kaivaa kiekon epäuskoisena selkänsä takaa hämmästyttävän flipperimaalin myötä.

Vaikeuksia siis oli ja osa niistä oli epähuomiossa itseaiheutettuja. Tästä malliesimerkkinä oli Mammothin 2-1-maali, joka […] The post

Even Gorton hiring Hughes wasn’t conventional. It was all calculated, however. Through tw
