He popped right back up...well...he made it back to his feet anyway.

Seriously though, both goals were on the power play with cross-ice passes down low and no one covering the man in front. But, well, not the way he wanted to start the big comeback I'm sure.

But is he okay?

His hip exploded into an brilliant array of what appear to be skittles, raining down from the rafters.

OK...third goal he just let up was awful...

Edit -- camera cut away too fast, I didn't see if he unleashed the patented "D-man glare" after that one.

Okay...but his save percentage is still above the Mendoza line... Baby steps...

strange. Did he get hit by a stick? And was it being held by a kid who was blindfolded?

Uh, yeah, it's 5-0 and the first period isn't even over...

This couldn't be more hilarious. Extra police presence on the Throgs Neck bridge now necessary.

No, I'm serious. It's a disaster. First and second were improbable stops, and the fourth was flat out impossible for any goaltender -- basically a 2-on-0 with a series of passes back and forth right in front of the net. Third one was awful, and the fifth one was classic DP mishandling the puck.

at this point I can just picture him getting pulled from the game and his own teammates having to chase him off the ice like the kid at the end of the Bad News Bears.

And for my next trick...water into wine!



Oh crap, I turned a shot into a goal

Believe it or not, BPort actually outshot Connecticut in the period...

Edit -- DP not in to start the second.

I love all the tweets making excuses for him any of their other goalies give up 5 goals in the 1st period this year? He got yanked after one period

There HAS to be a 30 for 30 on ESPN about DiPietro some time in the next few years. Not even joking around, I'd love to see one.
