The video shown above is Milwaukee Admirals forward, Hugh Jessiman, scoring a rather impressive goal on the backhand, from his knees, against Grand Rapids this week. It's an awesome goal, sure, but was it simply a great goal? Or was it an example of some awful goaltending?
The goalie in question is Jimmy Howard, who is supposed to be the Red Wings goalie of the future. Hopefully, for his sake, nobody from the mother ship was in attendance to see that one.
Oh, don't get me wrong, it's a great shot, but an NHL-caliber goalie -- or, heck, any goalie above high school -- should, in my opinion, make that save.
