Holtby hit the nail on the head when he said (paraphrasing) "when you win, you might get too much credit, and when you lose you might get too much blame". It's the same with Quarterbacks in American football.
The one thing I always think in the locker room listening to the skaters break down their game is: When you fail, people may or may not notice. When I fail, it goes on the scoreboard.
I got injured at 38 and had to stop being a goalkeeper, today I'm 50 and I'm in shape to make a comeback. This video is for a lot for a back to the game, very inspiring!
One thing that improved my game was getting my mind into it. I learned by visualizing the shots and saves I may face. I learned this through karate and wished I had started karate 10 years earlier than I did. As below my hips are bone on bone and cant even skate. I have so much respect for the guys that make it to the NHL there are a lot of good guys that never made the big leagues.
Ive played goal since I was 8 years old and hung my skates up 3 years ago because the pain in my hips stopped me. Im getting around on a cane and get 2 new hips this June cant wait to make this pain stop. I asked my surgeon if ill ever play goal again he replied NO the joints aren't set up for the action I make them perform. Breaks my heart after all these years but ill play it by ear. Im 58 now but will always be a goalie at heart and any one out there that plays goal making last second saves ect you know how much it hurts ti be told you cant play goal again. Most importantly is for me to walk without pain.
This kid was a godsend. Remember we came from having Kolzig for years, we were spoiled. We traded Varlamov and kept Michal Neuvirth. I don’t know who’s grandson Michal Neurvith was but he hung around foreverrrrrr. We were lucky Holtby turned out to be so good.
Why does every NHL related video have comment section with bellends saying. "As a such and such fan i respect guy who is not from my team." Thanks for the info buddies. You can respect all these NHL players even if you have your own home/favorite team.
I do not think you understand true team loyalty. We dont not say it just for attention we say it as a statement saying basically, " yeah i am for another team but i like this guy, even though we compete against him. I still want this guy to do good." that is all it is. Geesh.
Please make more of these. My friend's kid is 10 and a goalie, who could use more motivation video's like this. all the good players videos are about forwards, not goalies. Its a team game and goalies feel half left our and are sometimes head cases.
I would of been a pro netminder today, hadnt i quit. But Im not mad about that. I sure as hell dont miss the pressure you have on you as a goaltender, both from yourself and the club. I will always remember the day I quit. I had a team meeting that night, and I was so mentally exhausted I could barely get out of bed. So I laid there for some time, thinking about whether or not I was willing to give up my future as a pro athlete. After a long time I decided to skip that meeting and quit. The feeling I got afterwards was like removing a cinder block from my chest, or like letting go of a heavy barbell hindering your breathing. I remember that I slept like a child that night.
As a guy whos loved hockey from day one... I started ice hockey at 25, i do everything nhl goalies do to warm up and get made fun of in the locker room, being 2hours early, warm ups mental drills and eye drills Well, I've been the best goalie in every league ive played, made every championship game but one, and everyone thinks ive been playing since i was a toddler... 31, haven't played in a year due to work, but i still drill and practice, maybe this next season i won't have to knock off as much rust lol #holtbeast #thecrowsaysno #kinghenrik4thecup
I do it all as well, except I only show up an hour early bc if I showed up 2 hours early I wouldnt be able to go into the locker room bc it would be occupied. I'm probably the worst goalie in the league (1-7 career record, this past winter was my first season and it got cut short due to a knee injury during a game, I'm just now getting back to the ice) but I plan on going to David Leggio (former Olympic, NHL and AHL goaltender) goaltending clinics to try and get better for the next fall season
@@Dodger24 if youre okay travelling to canada, very close to the usa border, theres Future Pro Goalie School. he is very good and worth the cost, former NHL goaltender and coach and been coaching around 2-3 decades
@@lacasadepapel4356 I show up about 2 hours early and do jumping Jacks and light jog around the rink. After, I start to stretch and do my sight drills (eye focus and tennis balls) along with stick drills. And then a meditation before I suit up. On ice I stretch again and then scrape the crease and then do my crease movement drills and wrap around drills and then finally take shots. I tell teams I play for that I like slapshots first then they could come in and try dekes and whatnot afterwards.
I love this me to am a goalie and it is the hardest position in the world as a mental, physical , and emotional stand point and this is so good to show to a young goalie like myself #I am 11
I remember when I was a goalie at age 11. 6 shutouts in the winter season and 4 in the fall. It was all about positioning the kids arebt that great yet at shooting so just keep your body in tge way and close your damn 5 hole
Went to high school with both Braden s parents. Hunter n Holtby both ace people. She has a great voice . Ace chick . Ethan not my real name but I know both parents. Super Ace. Super Ace is Braden. Nice . So focussed . Saw him in Calgary . Water bottle .such a good lad
I think I watched this about 20 times

Never too old. Get out there and good luck!
anyone else a goaltender and have full respect for this video cause it’s relatable ? 🤔
yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, have you watched this seventeen times like I have? I bet all the goalies did.
Hell yuh !!
mack stevenson Smile like Fleury personality like Lundqvist.
I also have that routine and
Marsha Grimm My coach picked up Holtby and Hellebyuck doing the eyes and used it on me to help my reaction timing
I just found this video again but anyone else want to see a updated version of this?
The Hockey Highlights with every goalie in th NHL
Will forever be my fav Cap, as a player, but also as a human being, hands down.
This is such a great video. Wish there were more videos out there like this about other great goalies pre game routines
One of the best goalie of all time hands down thanks to him capitals won the cup 🔥🔥🔥
This guy deserved the cup #HOLTBEAST
Derek Hughes that should be on his helmet
Derek Hughes he got one :)

Hey 👋🏻 just coming to remind you that you made this comment 6 yrs ago! Memories flowing back
Congrats Holtby!!!bring that cup to Humboldt!!!!!
I’ve watched this video 20 times and will watch it more. It’s like a mini movie!

Kubena you can’t do that?? 😂
Aubrey Plamondon you can do it BECAUSE you’re 10 broski

Braden you are one of my favorite goalie in the nhl
You in my top 3
Ayyyy holtby,, I saw him in the carpool line yesterday and I yelled HOLTBY and he waved and I felt so accomplished.
Came here today, Caps just won the cup 2018. #ALLCAPS

Niimpä
I like how he shot it at the net in the beginning of on ice warm ups

Watching this is now a part of my pregame routine
Little did he know in a couple years he would help win the Capitals their first Stanley Cup and also for the “Save” he made in Game 2.
I live in Pittsburgh but I love holtby
Where you live does not dictate your opinion. Unless you live in Toronto, then you need to seriously reconsider your life.
y'all see that high kick??? he's more flexible than i am lmfaoo king
That's obvious
every goalie ive ever met is fucking nuts
Love this video still today
We finally did it
miss him
what kind of ball he's using during his routine warm up ?
Olivier Gosselin it's a puck
Do you seriously think those are pucks...?
racket ball
It’s a racquet ball. Lots of goalies use those to warm up
I think it was a hockey puck
I love being a goalie it's the most exciting position ever 🔥🔥nothing like it
Whatever he does it works.
Holtby is a beast.
Jesus I've watched this like 40 times
Capitals is my favourite team in the NHL!
He is a genltennan...Bless the Team..Go Capitals 😊
Wow he's flexible
I struggle to do up downs and this guy can almost do a handstand in his pads. #Respect.
I love this me to am a goalie and it is the hardest position in the world as a mental, physical , and emotional stand point and this is so good to show to a young goalie like myself #I am 11

Also make sure the other kids k lw you're a better goalie than they are shooters. All of them. You do this by your actions
let's go caps
I love him and my family hates me for that because we are all Pittsburg fans all the way.
Awesome behovs the scenes!!!
Holtby is my role model
The Favorite Video of Kucherov
I still always imagine Holtby as a capital
I thought my rituals were weird
Nope. Definitely not. Mine involves peanut butter.
What a very nice video! Why in Italy where i live is this sport so underrated and not practiced?
I have no words...
holtby is the second best goalie of the world
That snipe by holtby tho
What a tank..
Went to high school with both Braden s parents. Hunter n Holtby both ace people. She has a great voice . Ace chick . Ethan not my real name but I know both parents. Super Ace. Super Ace is Braden. Nice . So focussed . Saw him in Calgary . Water bottle .such a good lad
This is going to help me get better!!!!!
we will miss you holtby hope the nucks treat you well
My fav goalie
I am czech this is best video
Omg so focus
What song is this ? The piano one playing near the beginning
Anyone know where I could find the original background song???
Idk I’m also looking too

Mein Vorbild ❤❤❤❤❤
YA Braden get Dem saves!!!!
i wish he would stay in washington
what is going through his mind when he close his eyes?
Man is a machine #ALLCAPS
I tried this in mites… it worked
These goalies have a better shot than most adults
Now with the Canucks for a couple of years, then possibly going to Seattle in 2021.
As a Edmonton fan I respect holtby #holtbeast
Not even a goalie and probably going to watch this every game
What is the name of the melody in the background?
I like this☺️🔥
Full respect I'm a maple leafs fan
Watch this before every game. I don’t think anyone beats Holtby in terms of preparation
Niskanen is now gone😭
Why does every stadium/arena have the exact same looking black guy??
Guess they forgot to show the part of his routine where he lets in the weakest shot
Lol
Braden is best
It’s kind of funny because Washington is playing Carolina that night and now Carolina beat them out in the playoffs
i wonder what the score of the game was
I think it’s fair to say he earned his cup
Almost like the guy at target that keeps checking the door too make sure it's locked...
