I was looking at TJ and he looked genuinely discouraged, but not in the "darn we just gave up a goal" manner. I was 7 rows back of Glencross and was shocked that he couldn't get that out... he had all the time in the world. Brodie's look was one of "come on, I'm working hard and you mess up an easy clearance?"

Everyone who has played hockey growing up knows you don't try and clear the zone with a backhand. For some reason the hockey gods always decide this is the moment you can't raise the puck and make an easy play and embarrass yourself.
