What's shakin good lookin hockey fans!?
Last night it felt like a million games were played in the NHL. I was at home watching the Vancouver Canucks take on the Colorado Avalanche. The game went like this:
Colorado goal by John Mitchell
Colorado goal by Jamie McGinn
Colorado was up 2-0 at the end of the 1st period
With 4 seconds left in the 2nd period Vancouver Canuck Captain Henrik Sedin scored to get on the board and that goal we shall call the game changer.
The next four goals went like this:
Vancouver goal by Derek Dorsett
Vancouver goal by Nick Bonino
Vancouver goal by Nick Bonino
Vancouver goal by Shawn Matthias
After the 3rd Vancouver goal the commentators started using the term, "That is 3 unanswered goals", "That makes 4 unanswered goals", "Colorado has not answered back in 5 goals"
This got me thinking…. What exactly is an "Unanswered Goal?" An unanswered goal is any goal scored without the opponents scoring afterwards. You could say last night's game had a few different collections of unanswered goals. Colorado was up 2-0 which meant they had scored two unanswered goals. But the Canucks answered back with five goals. The Avalanche didn't score anymore goals after the Canucks scored so all five goals were unanswered.
An unanswered goal is different then a 'game winning goal' or an 'insurance goal'. In last night's game Nick Bonino's 1st goal (3rd goal of the game) was the game winning goal. Bonino's 2nd goal (4th of the game) and Shawn Matthias's goal (5th of the game) were the insurance goals. The last two goals offered a little padding for the Canucks.
Even if a team wins 1-0, that goal is considered unanswered because the opposing team couldn't answer back. Now that we have that sorted below I have written the recipe for my Homemade Bean Dip. Above you can view Shawn Matthias's goal last night and the 5th unanswered goal for Colorado.

My Homemade, always delicious Bean Dip!
As many of you know there are a lot of hockey games I spend watching at home. Watching games at home means great food and company. This recipe I wiped up one day when I was hungary and grabbed what I had in my cupboards. The game was on and I have no time to run to the store. It was such a hit with my company that I have to pass along the recipe to you.
