Martin Brodeur gives up ridiculous center-ice goal to Dwight King (VIDEO)

Martin Brodeur has more saves than anyone in the history of the NHL, which means the Blues' new netminder has also given up his share of goals too. But Ol' Marty probably never saw the puck get by him as ridiculously as this shot from Dwight King Thursday night.



When the Los Angeles Kings forward sent this seemingly harmless shot from center ice towards Brodeur, nobody in the arena thought twice about him making the simple glove save. But after the puck hit the ice, it skipped up once and then bounced off the ice, over Brodeur and actually got a piece of the water bottle for the comedic goal.



Adding insult to injury, that was the sixth goal that Brodeur gave up in the game — one that the Blues led 3-0 — tidying up the Kings' 6-4 come-from-behind victory.

Sure the 42-year-old future Hall of Famer looked silly but, we'll blame it on the bounce.

Bruins' Seth Griffith scores amazing, backwards, no-look, through-the-legs goal (VIDEO)

There have been plenty of backwards or no-look or through-the-the-legs goals scored in the NHL over the years. And all are pretty remarkable on their own but, have you ever seen all three plays on one score?

Well, the Bruins' Seth Griffith performed the amazing triple-feat against the Devils goalie Corey Schneider Monday night.




After blocking a shot to start a breakout, Griffith muscled through two Devils as he crossed the blue line. As he approached the crease, New Jersey defenseman Marek Zidlicky spun Griffith around, but the Bruins center slapped the puck backward and past the goalie. 




Griffith's all-out effort got a big cheer from the sold-out TD Garden crowd — and an even bigger one when it was replayed on the scoreboard and fans could see in slow motion what had happened.

“I knew if I got it on net, something good might happen,” Griffith said after his highlight-reel goal helped the Bruins beat the Devils 4-2.
