It's Nearly Impossible to Have an Unluckier Sequence Than Alexander Romanov Had on Friday Night
Alexander Romanov has had a strong start in his tenure on Long Island. After being traded from Montreal this summer, he Russian blue-liner has thrown some big hits, made some key blocks, and altogether his play has left Islander fans content through 31 games.
On Saturday night, he stretched out to block a Clayton Keller one-timer with the Isles trailing by a goal late in the third. Keller's one-timer hit Romanov right in the gonads, which would have been bad enough on its own.
To make matters worse, though: 1) the puck was going well wide and 2) it ended up in the back of his own net as a result of his redirection.
To summarize, Romanov blocked a one-time slapshot with his man-parts, which was going wide anyway, and wound up redirecting the puck into his own net to give the Coyotes a 2-goal lead with ~five minutes to go.
It's nearly impossible to have a worse string of luck than Romanov's here.
