Video: Emil Garipov?s KHL goalie fail inspires celebration

Emil Garipov is a 20-year-old goaltender for Ak Bars in the Kontinental Hockey League. He also probably wants this one back from a game last Friday night:

Vityaz's Evgeny Timkin was credited with the unassisted goal at 14:46 of the first period, as his unassuming advance of the puck went off of Garipov's stick, then the inside of his�right skate, then his left skate and then onto Timkin's blade for the layup goal. Garipov would give up another goal 2:55 into the second period and was eventually pulled. Vityaz won the game, 3-2.

And really, what better way to celebrate a gift-wrapped goal than with a baseball slide behind the goal? Keep it classy, Vityaz Chekhov.

OK, that's not entirely fair: This is, after all, the first time Vityaz Chekhov has appeared on Puck Daddy for something other than a line brawl or Jon Mirasty grinning through a fight. Hell, they didn't even have a major penalty in this game; they did keep it classy!
