Oh yeah, I remember that game. It was every Flames game in 2006-2007 to 2009-2010.

I still remember a game where Dion fired a puck and by chance hit Luongo near the neck area. My one Canuck relative was adamant that Dion did that on purpose and that he targeted his neck. I'm like, dude, have you seen Dion shoot? Guy hits the glass half the time while firing it at the net. If only he had that type of precision, he'd be an all time great dman.

As MAD Magazine once explained, the only exposed part of the goalie's body is 1 1/2" of his neck. The object of hockey is to hit the goalie with the puck in the neck.

Dion wins!

Anyone have the video of his shootout attempt on Backstrom?

I finally found highlights for the right game I believe after looking for it forever and they cut out his attempt! I swear he just slapshots it from well behind the hashmarks right at Backstrom's head. I feel like I'm going mad looking for it, or if it even happened at all.

Remember that time they selected Dion for the shootout and he winds up with the slapper?

That was hilarious. I can imagine the goalie's eyes bugging out of his head like Wile E. Coyote.

Here's the tandem crying about it:
Quote:
“I think it’s something that is going to be discussed through the league, because you never see that in a game – a guy having full speed on a slap shot between the hash marks,” Wild goaltender Niklas Backstrom said. “And it can be that some goalie gets injured.”
..
Backstrom took a Dion Phaneuf slap shot in the left collarbone in a 3-2 shootout loss to Calgary on Jan. 16. Jarome Iginla scored on the next shot to win the game for the Flames, and he joked afterward that Phaneuf might have softened Backstrom up.

Wild goalie Josh Harding said whether Phaneuf’s shot was intended for Backstrom or the net is immaterial. Going up high with a slap shot from between the circles “is just pure dangerous. You go up by the ears, by the shoulders, it doesn’t even look like you’re trying to score – it looks like you’re trying to take a guy out.”
So not head, but still why can't I find it?

Here's the full shootout!

Beauty confusing goal by Huselius, epic death slapper by Phaneuf, and a gorgeous shootout winner by Iggy.
