The Muskegon Lumberjacks and the Sioux Falls Stampede went head-to-head in USHL action on Saturday night and it was a game that the Lumberjacks would like to forget about as soon as possible.

After going up 3-0 in the opening frame, the Lumberjacks managed to blow the big lead and ended up losing the game 7-4. To make matters even worse, Stampede goalie Mikhail Berdin recorded one of Sioux Falls’ seven goals on the night.

It’s always great to witness a goalie goal, but it’s even better when they pull off a fantastic celebration to go along with it.
