OT: Former UM goalie Strauss Mann scored a goal last night
Former Michigan goaltender was credited with a goal last night in an AHL game between the Laval Rocket and the Rochester Americans.
Looks like the Americans had pulled their goalie for a delayed penalty and had the puck, took a shot, Mann made the save but didn't possess the puck to stop play, Rochester tried to center from being the net, it went off the post and all the way down to their own empty net. Mann, as the last Rocket player to touch the puck, gets credited with the goal.

Do we really need lightsaber goal posts and crossbar? I'd rather the Fox comet puck nonsense.

Clearly Strauss Mann stole their signs.

Beat me to it, blast!

Definitely cool to see a goalie get the goal, but I was hoping it'd be a cross-ice shot...

I know, that'd be a lot more fun to see.
I think the closest a former UM goalie got to that was one of Marty Turco's assists when he was with Dallas. He got out most of the way, but someone else tipped it in.

The-Dude, does this calm some of the worries you have about the position in your Team Michigan VS. the NHL diary? I mean if our goalie can score goals that kinda gives us an advantage over most goalies in the league. I see complete dominance across the board now.

Man. That don't count. Google Ron Hextall.

Wait, what are you doing? Don’t you know the sky is falling on the football program right now? This is the time to panic, not post hockey information.
/s just in case.

And here I thought I was doing well by checking to see if it was already posted, having a clear title, and a correctly embedded video. The bar for a quality post is set pretty high :)

Goalie goals are cool, but this isn't one. I really wish hockey had some concept of TEAM goals for situations like this.
