Dangle Days Weekend Recap Featuring Some Extra Silky Shootouts
Kailer Yamamoto probably isn’t a name that you’ve ever heard before. But it’s a tough one to forget. Kailer is an all-time Western Hockey League name. But yeah, he’s a tiny little thing currently hiding away in the WHL before he ends up getting picked up at some point in the first round of the 2017 NHL Entry Draft. And when he becomes a 1st round pick, you can now be one of the annoying pricks telling all your boys that you knew he was going in the first round. Why? Well because of moves like this.
Like butter. Just a shame we won’t get a chance to see him light shit up for Team USA at the World Juniors this year. And speaking of guys who won’t be playing in the World Juniors this season despite being age eligible…
Sebastian Aho-h my god
I mean… that’s just cruel. You think Anders Nilsson deserved that? He spent all that time putting on all of his pads just for you to undress him like that? Sad. Somebody needs to give him a hug after getting dunked on like that. And somebody needs to mark Sebastian Aho’s silky paws as deadly weapons.
It was a huge week for shootout goals so now it’s time to just keep it rolling. Starting off with the Elf on the shelf.
And here I was thinking that Will Ferrell was the only Elf that Santa let live in New York… Pretty much the same exact move as the Sebastian Aho goal above, just a little less demoralizing for Cory Schneider. Speaking of demoralizing goalies….
Jacob MacDonald checking in with the most disrespectful shootout goal of the year
Hitting a goalie with the “Forsberg” is usually enough for most danglers. But apparently not for a Cornell man (ever heard of it?) as Jacob MacDonald decided to put this poor tendy out of his misery and murder him with this one-handed variation.
Even though the goalies have been getting fried left and right in this blog so far, it wasn’t all bad for the boys between the pipes this week. Exhibit A…
So apparently this comes to us from New Zealand and the rules of the league are no powerplays in the 1st two periods. If a penalty is committed, then the other team is awarded a penalty shot. Which brings us to this great moment in hockey history right here. Goalie-on-goalie crime. Calm, cool, collected, 5-hole. Gotta love the composure after the goal, too. Act like you’ve been there before even though there’s zero percent chance you actually have. Love it.
Jimbo of the Week: Washington Capitals social media team
To be fair, your dad is a very beautiful woman.
BREAKING NEWS: We’ll be having our first ever Dangle Days Co-Jimbo of the Week. I like to think that karma had a little something to do with this next one after Mark Borowiecki was forced to finish out a shift without his skate blade.
When is the last time you’ve ever seen a basketball player finish a shift after his skate blade fell out? Yeah, that’s what I thought. Pussies…
Tilt of the Week: Luke Gazdic vs Chris Neil
Gotta love the boys throwing bombs right off the draw. First shift of the first period and it’s time to start chuckin’ knucks. Miss these scraps in the game today. MAKE HOCKEY VIOLENT AGAIN.
And that wraps up another Dangle Days Weekend Recap. Have a great week, everybody. Stay Saucy out there.
