1. Those are sick! I guess my most used was pretty simple on nhl 13 you could come from the corner and just hold the puck on your stick toward the near post, then pull it to the other side as crossed in front and tuxk it in the for post. Worked like 80 percent of the time. Probably not good enough to win but those woul look good on my new bar downstairs 🙂

2. My favorite glitch goal was in nhl 01 of you skated behind your own net with the puck and then skated into the net you could put the puck through the back of the net and score on yourself, it was so dumb and I always found it ridiculously funny

3. I don’t know if this counts as a glitch, but I remember in college playing NHL01. I would of course play the avalanche, and I had a roommate that would play as a variety of other teams. He would get extremely mad because I would have Peter Forsberg, just circle around the zone until I saw a pass and made a pass into Sakic for a one timer to score. He’ll get extremely mad because he would say it’s not something that is realistic. There was a game literally the night after he said that were Peter did something very similar and I got such a kick out of it.

4. Those are 🔥🔥. Too bad I’m not a gamer!

5. In a long forgotten age, St Joseph, the 19th of his name, went toe-to-toe with a ferocious and unexpected panther. This happened in the days when Asafari systems were first distributed. St. Joseph stepped into the Asafari system, picked up the controls, and went to work. The panther was ferocious, but not smart enough to outplay the man capable of scoring a goal and then fighting the fiend Gilmore. Late in play, in the final of the panther’s four lives, long after the rats had been PATched out of the Asafari system, St. Joseph used the joystick in a flip to the right to summon the great black orb and—amazingly—sent it far out of the reach of the panther’s claw. The orb appeared to be out of play, saving the panther to fight another day, when out of nowhere, Uwe Krupp the Wondrous slammed the great black orb past the panther’s defenses. The panther was no more. 

   Until now. Years after the assumption of St. Joseph, the 19th of his name, the evil panther has risen once again. Can Nate the Great and Cale the Not-So-Pale vanquish this great villain once more? Stay tuned, Faithful. 

   Glory be to Ass. 

6. In the NHL Stanley Cup game for SNES, you could score a lot of goals from just about the blue line/center ice by lobbing the puck at the goalie. My older brother learned that and would light me up every time.

7. Nhl 96 had 2 glitch goals. When skating up you go right up the left boards and shoot right at the blue line to top shelf over the goalies shoulder. Or when you were skating down you pass the puck straight down to the goalie and it went 5 hole everytime. Between that and there being no goaltender interference had a lot of high scoring battles with my brother. It still had the Nordiques and Whalers but trades auto accepted so I made the roy to nordiques trade soni could at least play the Avs roster

8. NHL ’98 for PC. We played it after school in the middle school algebra classroom (Thanks, Mr. Tamura!)

   Anyways, anytime you had the puck along the goal line, you could skate across the crease, start loading up your shot as you passed the goalie, hold it until you got to at least the faceoff dot and let it fly top corner every time.
   It quickly got house ruled, and was a cause of many hushed arguments that year (didn’t want to lose the privileges after all.)

9. Not a “chell” glitch or anything but this goal by Burakovsky has to be one of the most obvious reality glitch goals of all time:

10. This one time. While playing in the Stanley Cup Finals. It was game 7 and I was at the end a of a 2–2 game. There was just five seconds left in regulation when chaos erupted as the puck gets trapped under the goalie’s skate and begins vibrating like it’s trying to escape reality. The announcers panic as the puck slowly phases through the ice, and casually remark that the sport may no longer follow Euclidean geometry. The goalie, recognizing the signs of an impending glitch, looks upward as “the quantum one” happens. With a sudden pop, the puck vanishes entirely, only to reappear a moment later inside the net as the goal light flashes. The crowd cheers in total confusion while the goalie melts down, accusing his own leg pad of betraying him by letting the puck “ascend.” The referee, clearly out of explanations, reviews the play and announces, half embarrassed, half resigned, that the goal is good because the puck “definitely went in through a wormhole.” The commentators wrap it up by praising my teams impressive command of quantum mechanics, concluding that even if what just happened wasn’t really hockey, it was good enough for the scoreboard. And that’s how I won the Stanley Cup. In a video game. ❤️

11. Not really a glitch goal per say, but just a fond memory of scoring goals in Wayne Gretzky Hockey on the Sega Genesis.

    When I was 10 and my brother was 8, Wayne Gretzky Hockey came out right after the Nordiques moved to Colorado. We got the game that Christmas, and all winter break we spent everyday playing a full season as Quebec (the game was developed before they could switch to Colorado). The game was so cool to us because it had all the players names. Names that we were quickly becoming familiar with.

    Every game we switched off who would play as the opponent. If the person who was the opponent was scoring too much, that person would take the puck as the goalie, and march it up to center ice. Who ever was playing as the Avs would check the goalie take the puck and score. We were determined to get the avs undefeated through the whole season.

12. Best glitch goal of all time was in NHL Hitz Pro from 2003. If you went behind the net on your backhand and then stopped right at the halfway point, your player would be facing the goalie with the puck on their forehand. All you had to do was tap the shoot button and your player would institute the wrap around mechanic of the game. The goalie would slide to the side of the net that you were originally moving towards on your backhand to stop the wrap around. But once you stopped, your guy would just easily wrap it around into an empty net on his forehand because the goalie dove to the other side to stop the backhand wraparound attempt.
    Using this, I was once able to win a game 36-1 and caused a buddy to snap a pool stick over a chair lol. We affectionately referred to this shot as the “reach around”. What a time to be alive!
