Sunday in Jersey got a little crazy.
The New York Rangers and New York Islanders reignited their rivalry in the NHL Stadium Series game. Yes, outdoor style! The game was held at MetLife Stadium, home of the NFL's New York Giants and New York Jets.
It was an intense match from start to finish, but there were some real fireworks to end the match. (Related: Flyer, Devils appear in the most epic pre-game outfit you've ever seen)
Just 10 seconds into overtime, Rangers left wing artemi panarin In the end, New York won the game with something no one had ever seen before…well, at least I hadn't. And that was a goal that didn't go into the net.
This is a truly unbelievable goal. You can call it whatever you want.

Of course, this was eventually revisited. Because, frankly, what the heck was this?

Moments like this are why we love hockey. I mean, this is one of the craziest sports of all time, and this scene is even wilder because we're seeing things we've never seen before. (I think)
And of course, what makes this so successful is the flashy New York City team that plays at Madison Square Garden.
I love the brand, I can't lie…shouts to Rangers. But Cats continues! (Florida Panthers)
