Swiss Miss

In hockey there are mistakes, then there are MISTAKES.

Check out this video of an amazing shot taken by Swiss forward Philippe Furrer as they battled Team Russia in the World Hockey Championships yesterday. He beats the goalie low with a rocket of a shot… uhmmm… only problem? It’s his own goalie.

Furrer was attempting to clear the puck around the boards while killing a penalty, but his slapshot from the left circle after Andres Ambuhl won a faceoff went straight into the net. By the start of the second period, the goal was on YouTube.

Furrer later said, “I don’t see what the big deal is - I shoot on him all the time during practice and nobody makes a big deal about it. WTF?”

The NHL currently has a pretty low Swiss player content. Coincidence?
