Hockey YouTuber and NHL eSports commentator Andrew Telfer, who also goes by Nasher, recently posted a hilarious video on his Twitter. He made a parody, replicating the recent goal by Alexander Ovechkin in the match against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
The Russian NHL star scored a unique goal that almost no goaltender would have expected. In the video, Nasher is seen making the ‘controller disconnect’ meme, which is a nightmare for any competitive gamer. The way Ovechkin stood on the ice rink for around ten seconds waiting to score, was just like his controller getting disconnected in the NHL 23 game.
Hilarious comments were left by the NHL fans

At the start of the video, many fans fell for Nasher’s trick. They realized later that he was just trying to make a parody of Ovechkin’s goal. A gamer fan related to this controller disconnection situation saying, “Too accurate lol.”
One Ovi fan recalled how the NHL star has also scored these types of goals before, saying, “Not first time.”
Another fan pointed out a quote by the Great One, Wayne Gretzky, saying, “This is contrary to the Gretzky quote. Why even bother to skate to where the puck is going to be?”
