AHL Goalie Louis Domingue Scores Goal To Seal A Playoff Berth

Who doesn't love a goalie goal? I'll answer that for you: no one. 

We all love goalie goals and Louie Domingue of the Hartford Wolf Pack just sunk a doozy from almost like 180 feet away.

Better yet, it sealed a playoff berth for his team.

Domingue has 143 NHL appearances — one of which came this season with Hartford's NHL affiliate, the New York Rangers — but he spent most of this season with the Wolf Pack.

On Friday, the Wolf Pack hosted the Springfield Thunderbirds with an opportunity to punch their ticket to the Calder Cup Playoffs.

Late in the game, the Wolf Pack found themselves up 4-3, when Springfield pulled the goalie.

However, Domingue himself decided he wanted to seal the win and the trip to the playoffs himself. He made a save with about 26 seconds left, but instead of freezing the puck or dumping it into the corner, Domingue dropped the biscuit and launched it down ice, just inside the right post, and into the back of the net.

Goalie goals are always a spectacle (except the ones where a goalie gets credited with a goal because he was the last to touch the puck. There's an asterisk next to those in my book) and this one was a beauty.

Here's where things get a little wild, this was the 24th goalie goal in AHL history. Now, I knew that this was not the first goalie goal of the AHL season, but what I didn't realize was that Domingue's lamp-lighting was the fourth.

Are you kidding me? Four goalie goals? Everything is inflated in Biden's America, but this I like.

According to AHL.com, Strauss Mann scored one for the Laval Rocket in October, Alex Nedeljkovic potted one for the Wilkes-Barre Scranton Penguins in November, Jaxson Stauber did it for the Rockford IceHogs in February, and now Domingue.

What is in the Gatorade bottles they're drinking down there in the A? Just awesome stuff.
