skate tongues being out of the shin guards. usually when bent down/over is referred to as flop. its the most uncomfortable thing ever.

The announcer is stating that the goal is hockey's equivalent of something that Jordan did on a basketball court.  Michael Jordan made many spectular plays with his tongue sticking out (literally).
