Goals don’t get any closer than this!
On Sunday, the Winnipeg Jets played the Colorado Avalanche in the opening round of the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs. Yes, that’s right, playoff hockey is back and things are already off the rails.
In the midst of a wild back-and-forth Game 1, Adam Lowry extended the Jets’ lead to 5-3 in the third period after an absolutely bonkers sequence. Lowry’s shot hit both posts and then somehow managed to streak across the goal line just barely as it was spinning wildly in the air.
Originally this sequence was called no-goal on the ice, before replays caught the puck spinning right over the line before pivoting back out again.

Wow! It’s not often you see the puck move like that off the post! Here’s the side angle view to show just how close this goal was.

And finally, the above-goal shot to really drive it home.
