@Mythobino Plays You're right, but, did you know that it was a Canadian that strapped metal blades to the bottom of our shoe's held on to a 2"x4" or a tree branch just to shoot a potato at each other, and getting into fight over who broke the potato. Halifax Canada is where Hockey originated from there I think the brothers left to, I think Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.A where the NHL started I think,I could be wrong about Boston, but, Hey I do know what you are thinking of, European Football/American Soccer?
@@jamieboquist9281 nah goalies have very heavy padding. One day me and my goalie wanted to know what it felt like with pads vice versa. Since I had more blocked shots then he had saves in 4 games that season. And it feels like nothing and he was rolling around in pain. Granted goalies are much more talented with flexibility and reaction times.
They didnt even include one of the most beautiful things about this sport: the players interacting with fans. The generosity, respect and the humbleness
This is a great point. And to that, a reaction of players helping other opposing team players when they're hurt bad and such. You see that despite the tempers and fights, the big hits which piss each other off, hockey is a brotherhood also. And the stuff the greats do off the ice with kids literally brings tears to my eyes every time. I fucking love hockey. Best sport in the world all around.
"Jesus Christ the size of that cup" - That's the Stanley Cup, without question the greatest trophy in sports. You would be amazed at the places and things that trophy has seen. Every player who wins it gets to spend a day with it and can take it pretty much anywhere in the world.
9:13 Martin St. Louis was one of the greatest players from my home town. He has skills, he skates fast. But most of all he is a fighter and he plays with his heart.
The weight of the puck is significant when you realize that they are vulcanized rubber, frozen right up until game time, then propelled at high speeds. By the way, the Stanley Cup weighs 35lbs., but apparently much lighter when you win it.
"Why is this legal?!" Fighting is legal because those men have sticks in their hands and blades on their feet. If they were not allowed to settle scores "the old fashioned way", the retaliation hits would escalate until someone loses body parts.
@@sharpshootr2002 Yeah right, the place will have thousands of empty seats unless the team is doing well, Canes only have fairweather fans who only show up if the team is winning.
You need to see an entire 7 game Stanley Cup series. Watch how hard these guys play eachother, then wait til it's over and see how they then treat eachother. True gentlemen!
There’s a camera directly above the crossbar that officials can use to determine if the goalies glove enters the net, thus a goal. You can’t close your glove on the puck, causing the ref to lose sight of it and a delay of game penalty. Slapping it down and not forward is how they stop a puck in the air. Games should be enjoyed on at least a 46” hi-def screen. With the season about to start, pick a team from each division and watch the NHL Recoup of their games. It’ll really get you involved.
That Marty St Louis goal at the end was so emotional. I have that and Craig Anderson's return from personal leave as my two favourite emotional hockey moments.
These men are true gladiators, and watch the excruciating pain they go to when a frozen puck is whipped against their body. It hurts. A lot. I can tell you first hand. I played hockey, baseball, and American football growing up. I took martial arts for about 15 years. Dabbled in lacrosse (which is brutal as well). In college I played intramural rugby. Football was extremely taxing as a safety. The hits were jarring, even though I was the person giving them. Baseball took precision timing. Rugby was, well you know how rugby is. But NOTHING was as physically exhausting as hockey. The pain tolerance, toughness required, precision, and grace required is off the charts. We almost forget that they’re doing all of these feats whilst skating on ice. I got my bell rung more playing hockey than anything else. I’ve had 5 concussions. 4 were from hockey. Back then they weren’t as careful with those injuries as they are now, nor as informed as to how dangerous they were. You shook it off and got back out there as quickly as you could. Bad ones and you might sit the rest of the game. Get a nasty slice? Stitch it up and play. Maybe miss a shift or two. But I gotta say, maybe it’s because it’s my favorite to play, but there’s nothing as exhilarating as getting out on the ice and playing hockey. Pure adrenaline.
This, proper spirit and determination. Man stamkos still playing with a broken fucking leg, paul kariya scoring after getting serious head injuries etc. Also I would love to see some Selänne here, the passion and fire and speed observable is awsome.
The Greg Campbell thing on that video is the stuff of legends. Blocks a shot, breaks his leg. Doesn't wanna leave the ice and even tries to block more shots. Just a plain heroism.
@@Speed_7545 Max Paccioretty came back to the game a year after a broken neck, also got slice in the chest by a skate ... got to the infirmery for some stiches and came back in the third period for to score the winning goal
I have been a hockey fan my whole life, watching you experience it for the first time is so awesome. I wish I could experience hockey for the first time again!!
Pucks are actually frozen before they ever touch the ice. If you try to play with an unfrozen puck, it will bounce a lot and be extremely hard to control. Thus, they store the pucks in a freezer before using them in a game.
It's probably because the source highlight video by itself was pretty mediocre. Everything in slow-mo had the opposite effect of making everything LESS dramatic, than if the clips would have just been in realtime. The editor also compiled some pretty unremarkable clips. The downvote probably has little, if anything, to do with Adam's reaction, which is unfortunate.
A brief description of all the NHL teams ANA - The Anaheim Ducks: They're going through a little bit of a rough patch, they aren't great but they have an outstanding goalie in John Gibson ARI - Arizona Coyotes: What a mistake, this teams entire existence is a rough patch. They've got a nice alternate jersey though. BOS - Boston Bruins: Wowee, this is a good team, their first line is also known as the perfection line, their goalie is amazing and they have the unbreakable machine Zdeno Chara as their captain, the tallest man in the league CAR - Carolina Hurricanes: The Canes are a young and fun team, they have a winning celebration called the Storm Surge that they do, some people think that it's juvenile and shouldn't be in the game, I think it's fun. CHI - Chicago Blackhawks:This team is getting up there is years and they have won so many Stanley Cups. Lead by Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane, it's a shadow of what it used to be but used to be very very good COL - Colorado Avalanche: This team is currently one of the best in the league, they are never out of the playoff conversation CBJ - Columbus Blue Jackets: This team has a history of being unsuccessful and got really close but also just lost their two star players and traded away all their draft picks until 2025 DAL - Dallas Stars: A good team, good captain, a fun goalie, I just think that they're a bit boring DET - Detroit Red Wings: The Detroit Red Wings are garbage, they are going through a rough rebuild but also had a massive dynasty like 15 years ago so they've got some die hard fans EDM - Edmonton Oilers: This team has the best current player of hockey in the world, Connor Mcdavid. They fired their GM because he's trash and it's always okay to be mean to them because they only think about the 80s when they weren't trash FLA - Florida Panthers: This team just signed a goalie to a 10 million dollar contract, they're also like a teenage girl, changing identity every 5 minutes LAK - L.A Kings: The Kings used to be amazing, now they're old and mismanaged, they have their core players all signed to bad contracts until they're 40 to try and keep the boys around MIN - Minnesota Wild: This team is complicated, they have had so man issues over the years and have a few awful contracts signed. They have a history of loosing home game 7s MTL - Montreal Canadians: The Canadians are actually an up and coming team, they have the best goalie from 2012 and a young core who's only getting better. NSH - Nashville Predators: Wow is this team ever good, they've got skill, they've got poise, they've got physicality and so much much more. what a team NJD - New Jersey Devils: This team used to be good. That's the best thing I can say about them. They drafted well recently at least. Last year they scored 3 own goals in the the same game NYI - New York Islanders: This team is looking good, last year they excelled even though their captain John Tavares left them to live his dream of playing with the Toronto Maple Leafs NYR - New York Rangers: Another team that used to be good, they've got a new core but wont be a big threat for the next 4-5 years their goalie, Henrik Lundqvist has earned the nickname "The King" because of his skill but also he's old so he's not as good as he was OTT - Ottawa Senators: My hometown team and also the worst team in the league and my least favourite team. They are actual garbage, they traded away their first round draft pick in a year where they finished in last place PHI - Philadelphia Flyers: They were once a mighty team and they are currently starting to heat up again. I will always have respect for this team because they physically beat the Soviet Red Army team so bad that they tried to quit the game in the second period PIT - Pittsburgh Penguins: Best team in recent memory, they have one of the best players in the league and of all time Sid the kid Crosby who is in his 30s. This team is damn good SJS - San Jose Sharks: This team is starting to loose it's playoff window because of their age but they can still put pucks in the net like nobodies business. STL - Saint Louis Blues: This team is the current Stanley cup champion. An amazing team. An absolute beauty. TBL - Tampa Bay Lightning: This team tied the record for best regular season record of all time, they were first place in the NHL, they've got a core in their prime, they were unbeatable titans. They then got swept by the Columbus Blue Jackets in the first round of the playoffs. TOR - Toronto Maple Leafs: My personal favourite team in the league, they're young, they've got power, they've got John Tavares. They were also the worst team in the league from 2005-2015. They are widely hated because their fanbase is trash and all the hockey news stations are from Toronto so when they were in the leagues basement they got more coverage than teams that deserved that coverage. VAN - Vancouver Canucks: This team is fun, young guns, about to start making some real noise in the playoffs. After loosing in the Stanley cup finals to Boston in 2011 they had a riot that cost the city of Vancouver over 3 billion dollars VGK - Vegas Golden Knights: This is the newest team in the league and they're also one of the better teams, in their first year of existence they made the Stanley Cup Finals WSH - Washington Capitals: This team is also very very good, they won the Stanley Cup in 2018 and have the best goal scorer in the league on their team, Alexander Ovechkin and their goalie Braden "Holtbeast" Holtby. A force to be reckoned with. WPG - Winnipeg Jets: It's funny that they are good now. They lost their team to Atlanta who then lost their team to Arizona so just keep in kind that they still have a chip on their shoulder because of that. A promising young core
It's heavy for how fast it is going. It's like a bullet. In fact, a well hit slapshot is about half the kenetic enegy of a 9mm bullet. And players throw themselves infront of it, willingly, on a nightly basis.
You have to react to the “the Domimator” Dominik Hasek Career Highlights. He was one of the greatest goalies ever in the NHL, a true legend in the crease. He took aggressive goaltending to the next level. 👍🏻👍🏻
Hey Adam love your reactions, I've played hockey for over 17 years and its awesome to see new people reacting to the sport. Ps. As a Goalie taking a slapshot to the face at around 100 mph is a pain that is hard to describe, but when its to the nuts your body just kinda wants to roll over and shut down lol
To answer your question yes. Even if the goalie makes the save at the edge of his crease, if he brings his glove with the puck in it behind the line. It counts as a goal
PhantomDust916 yes and no. Ovi at this point has him beat simply on his consistency throughout his career and with no signs of slowing down. Don’t get me wrong I’m from Edmonton McDavid is easily just as good as Ovechkin just in different ways, but not having as much experience makes me rank mine lower.
@@rockthered8706 You're both wrong. The best player in the NHL is Sidney Crosby, and that is a fact. He is the best forward on both offense and defense.
I saw one of your hockey videos in my recommended and I am so glad I decided to click on it. I love hockey so much and I love your Irish accent and your energy
1:36 The old adage of "Keep Your Head On A Swivel" so you can avoid getting hit, or fall and land safely. You also have to account for your height back down to puck level when you aim to shoot (from Shannahan's perspective). 1:43 I think their blades are narrower than figure skates and speed skaters.
Great vid, thanks Adam. BTW, back in the 70;s, early 80's the NHL was even tougher, more fights & hits, yet there were guys so fearless they played without helmets.
For some context, I played amateur hockey in the UK for a year. I blocked a slap shot with the inside of my left thigh, one of the only parts of the body without padding. I had a bruise covering the inside of my thigh for 6 months. Yes, they're 6 ounces, but that's 6 ounces of solid rubber flying at you like a bullet. Hockey is absolutely amazing, seeing your reactions to it brings back all the feelings I had when I first watched it as a kid. If you want some more fun stuff, watch some videos of the All Star weeks, those are great. Also, check out some vintage hockey, in the days before helmets were made compulsory! That stuff is brutal!
Canadian culture, our identity, our passion. Hockey is an expensive sport, and parents make sacrifices both in time and money so their kids can play. It is a family commitment. Skating is a major part of Hockey, and some parents have their kids learning to skate at the same time they are learning to walk, making skating as natural for them as breathing. Hi from a proud Hockey mom, from Alberta.
For laughs, have a movie night with friends and watch the classic hockey movie “Slap Shot” with Paul Newman in it. You will never get the “Hanson Brothers” out of your head.
And to think hockey is a lot more tame than what it used to be. The Broad Street Bullies. Those days were crazy. When the padding was minimal and not many wore helmets. Thnx Adam. Great video
always fun to see someone discover my favourite sport. Cheers from Kingston, Ontario (Canada) - where some say Hockey was born. The puck is 6 oz of vulcanized hardened rubber... and they freeze the pucks for the game... they are very hard, especially when travelling at 100+km/hr
Adam Couser: An NHL hockey puck is a vulcanized rubber disc that is 2.5 cm thick, 7.62 cm in diameter, and weighs about 170 grams. The pucks are kept frozen solid until used in play, which reduces the amount of bouncing the puck does. The record speed of a NHL slapshot is 175 km per hour. The record speed for NHL skating is 48 kilometers per hour, but many players can regularly skate at 32 - 40 kilometers per hour, which can make the collisions quite violent.
I've never put a like on a reaction video before so this is my first and I watch quite a few different channels basically music and sports and you are by far are my favorite. Your reactions seem completely genuine and you make every video completely enjoyable for your viewers
Our Captain last playoffs scored a goal off his mouth, lost 4 teeth, was out for a bit so he could put a face shield on his helmet, & then came back into the game. THAT’S a hockey player!!!
You should check out “Alex Ovechkin best hits & goals” by the highlight factory that guy is one of the best in the league and will definitely be in the hall of fame
Lord Stanley’s Cup is massive because the winning team gets the name inscribed on the actual cup. If you see it close enough in person you can see the names of the teams who won it decades ago
Beautiful moments for me - any time the Captains immediately give the Stanley Cup to the veterans who have been chasing the cup for years. Gretzky's last game. The Sharks comeback against the Golden Knights in Game 7. Joonas Donskoi's OT winner for the Sharks first ever Stanley Cup Final Game win. Patrick Marleau breaking Gordie Howe's record (The celebration in Vegas and then in the home game after), The Miracle on Ice last minute, Owen Nolan's goal from center ice, Tomas Hertl's four game night in front of his mom. Is it apparent I'm a Sharks fan yet? lol. Oh one more, and this is the Shark's rivals too, when Getzlaf on the Ducks was helping the opposing team's player crawl to the bench--real class act--even though I hate the man haha
So glad you got to see it. That videos like 6 years old too. If you want a good hockey story look up anything about the St. Louis Blues Stanley cup run last year. Absolutely amazing. They were the last place team and made it all the way to the finals and won
I told my kids I was taking them to a hockey game several years ago. We live in Cincinnati Ohio and have a minor league team. My kids did not want to go as they knew nothing of the sport. We had first row seats. As soon as the game started and the guys began hitting the glass in front of us, my kids were hooked. One player dropped a puck over the glass for my son. We have now gone to many games. It is an amazing time.
Dominic Hasek and Pavel Datsyuk highlights. Hasek was a wildly unorthodox goaltender who did amazing jaw dropping things. Pavel Datsyuk is a master class puck handler, passer, and is insanely creative. Both will showcase the skill of the game at a level that was unprecedented before them.
The movie “Miracle” is worthy of a watch. Sure it’s more special to us Americans because it’s about our gold medal run in 1980, but it captures the heart of what hockey is and all of its beauty. Won’t be disappointed.
I played on a Mens Travel team for 11 years. I played hockey for 20+ years before I became to sick to play. I can barely walk anymore. I miss playing so much. Truly, the most glorious game on earth! LETS GO RED WINGS!!
Marty St. Louis scored that goal on mother's day after his mother suddenly passed away. He said she would have wanted him to be with the team. It also saved the team from elimination as they were down in the series 3-1 (best of 7).
Gosh these are funny... growing up watching/playing hockey has made all of this normal to me, but it's super entertaining to see it from someone else's perspective!! keep up the good content this is great... love from Canada!!

a puck isn't heavy but its hard as a rock and its moving upwards of 100 miles an hour
and based on that fact, let's be clear: goalies are CRAZY
@@jamieboquist9281 you gotta be a different breed to be a goalie
Jamie Boquist Not according to goat Bryzgalov. “DMen have a no goalie gear” Lmao
But sometimes, the puck isn't travelling as quickly, but the awkward bounces on the ice or off the end boards…

I recommend watching it from behind the goal. Great sightlines for all the action.
Some where right along the boards.
I like watching on a corner, about halfway up myself. I can see the plays develop better from there.
Belfast Giants are in the EIHL. It’s Hockey Season. Could definitely go watch a game.
Assuming he’s an Irishman living in Ireland, of course
9:13 Martin St. Louis was one of the greatest players from my home town. He has skills, he skates fast. But most of all he is a fighter and he plays with his heart.
And played against all odds. Undrafted player. Small in size. And turned into one of the best playmakers in his generation.
Every player who has ever won Lord Stanley's Cup gets their name engraved on the trophy. It's by far the greatest trophy in sports.

FLA - Florida Panthers: This team just signed a goalie to a 10 million dollar contract, they're also like a teenage girl, changing identity every 5 minutes
LAK - L.A Kings: The Kings used to be amazing, now they're old and mismanaged, they have their core players all signed to bad contracts until they're 40 to try and keep the boys around
MIN - Minnesota Wild: This team is complicated, they have had so man issues over the years and have a few awful contracts signed. They have a history of loosing home game 7s
MTL - Montreal Canadians: The Canadians are actually an up and coming team, they have the best goalie from 2012 and a young core who's only getting better.
NSH - Nashville Predators: Wow is this team ever good, they've got skill, they've got poise, they've got physicality and so much much more. what a team
NJD - New Jersey Devils: This team used to be good. That's the best thing I can say about them. They drafted well recently at least. Last year they scored 3 own goals in the the same game
NYI - New York Islanders: This team is looking good, last year they excelled even though their captain John Tavares left them to live his dream of playing with the Toronto Maple Leafs
NYR - New York Rangers: Another team that used to be good, they've got a new core but wont be a big threat for the next 4-5 years their goalie, Henrik Lundqvist has earned the nickname "The King" because of his skill but also he's old so he's not as good as he was
OTT - Ottawa Senators: My hometown team and also the worst team in the league and my least favourite team. They are actual garbage, they traded away their first round draft pick in a year where they finished in last place
PHI - Philadelphia Flyers: They were once a mighty team and they are currently starting to heat up again. I will always have respect for this team because they physically beat the Soviet Red Army team so bad that they tried to quit the game in the second period
PIT - Pittsburgh Penguins: Best team in recent memory, they have one of the best players in the league and of all time Sid the kid Crosby who is in his 30s. This team is damn good
SJS - San Jose Sharks: This team is starting to loose it's playoff window because of their age but they can still put pucks in the net like nobodies business.
STL - Saint Louis Blues: This team is the current Stanley cup champion. An amazing team. An absolute beauty.
TBL - Tampa Bay Lightning: This team tied the record for best regular season record of all time, they were first place in the NHL, they've got a core in their prime, they were unbeatable titans. They then got swept by the Columbus Blue Jackets in the first round of the playoffs.
TOR - Toronto Maple Leafs: My personal favourite team in the league, they're young, they've got power, they've got John Tavares. They were also the worst team in the league from 2005-2015. They are widely hated because their fanbase is trash and all the hockey news stations are from Toronto so when they were in the leagues basement they got more coverage than teams that deserved that coverage.
VAN - Vancouver Canucks: This team is fun, young guns, about to start making some real noise in the playoffs. After loosing in the Stanley cup finals to Boston in 2011 they had a riot that cost the city of Vancouver over 3 billion dollars
VGK - Vegas Golden Knights: This is the newest team in the league and they're also one of the better teams, in their first year of existence they made the Stanley Cup Finals
WSH - Washington Capitals: This team is also very very good, they won the Stanley Cup in 2018 and have the best goal scorer in the league on their team, Alexander Ovechkin and their goalie Braden "Holtbeast" Holtby. A force to be reckoned with.
WPG - Winnipeg Jets: It's funny that they are good now. They lost their team to Atlanta who then lost their team to Arizona so just keep in kind that they still have a chip on their shoulder because of that. A promising young core
A puck isn’t heavy but when it’s coming at you 100mph it hurts
It's heavy for how fast it is going. It's like a bullet. In fact, a well hit slapshot is about half the kenetic enegy of a 9mm bullet. And players throw themselves infront of it, willingly, on a nightly basis.
It's not the weight of the puck that hurts....it's the speed it comes at you at 100 mph!
You have to react to the “the Domimator” Dominik Hasek Career Highlights. He was one of the greatest goalies ever in the NHL, a true legend in the crease.
He took aggressive goaltending to the next level. 👍🏻👍🏻
th-cam.com/video/2emmoWBouSU/w-d-xo.html If you haven't watch this it's a must.
Yes you're allowed to fight in the NHL, the players usally thanks eachother after for a good fight and so on.
its not about weight of puck but about speed how fast players can shoot the puck ... its up to 160km/h (official record is 169.95km/h)
best NHL hockey saves
I'm a hockey goalie😁 ( please react to Pavel datsyuk hilights)
Hunter Megie I agree
Hunter Megie or Patrick Roy (I’m a goalie also)
@@dylanstarzec2099 Patrick Roy dangling Gretzky 40 feet out of the net has to be my favorite hockey clip. Worth a penalty 😂
Joshua Brassard 100 %
This video perfectly encapsulates why hockey is such an amazing sport, and why I love it so much.
Jens95 has a treasure trove of great hockey compilation videos that would be great to react to
React to “14 minutes of pissed off goalies”
6 ounces doesnt describe the puck well enough. TH-cam "Matt Hendricks blocked shot" then google the image of his gear afterwards.
Hey Adam love your reactions, I've played hockey for over 17 years and its awesome to see new people reacting to the sport.
Ps. As a Goalie taking a slapshot to the face at around 100 mph is a pain that is hard to describe, but when its to the nuts your body just kinda wants to roll over and shut down lol
Don't change the " god damn comments" it's one of my favorite parts !!
Awesome to hear! They will be back :)
To answer your question yes. Even if the goalie makes the save at the edge of his crease, if he brings his glove with the puck in it behind the line. It counts as a goal
7:25 As bouncy as a rubber ball at times, and can travel as fast as a golf ball at over 110mph.
Best hockey video ever. Gives you goosebumps.
I hope you get the chance of seeing an NHL hockey game live, it’s a hell of an experience.
I just binged all you’re other hockey videos a now this popped up
Half the jails in Canada are filled with hockey fight arrests.
9:10 If the Ashes urn in cricket is the smallest trophy, Stanley Cup is undoubtedly the biggest.
The NHL season starts on Wednesday!
Lol shirts should say "2 things, 1st Is this legal?
2nd How is he not dead?"
Lol
Do u remember me from your other videos please do pavel datsyuk ❤️❤️ love u
You should react to the all star competitions, specifically the fastest skater and goalie events.
Oh that's a great idea!
Please react to the best goals of Connor McDavid. He is currently the best player in the nhl!
PhantomDust916 yes and no. Ovi at this point has him beat simply on his consistency throughout his career and with no signs of slowing down. Don’t get me wrong I’m from Edmonton McDavid is easily just as good as Ovechkin just in different ways, but not having as much experience makes me rank mine lower.
@@rockthered8706 You're both wrong. The best player in the NHL is Sidney Crosby, and that is a fact. He is the best forward on both offense and defense.
I disagree you ask all the gm’s,players, coaches and 80% will say McDavid is the best
@@phantomdust9162 According to the media. Canadian media.
@Shawnaldo75 Agreed.
I saw one of your hockey videos in my recommended and I am so glad I decided to click on it. I love hockey so much and I love your Irish accent and your energy
1:36 The old adage of "Keep Your Head On A Swivel" so you can avoid getting hit, or fall and land safely. You also have to account for your height back down to puck level when you aim to shoot (from Shannahan's perspective).
1:43 I think their blades are narrower than figure skates and speed skaters.
Great vid, thanks Adam. BTW, back in the 70;s, early 80's the NHL was even tougher, more fights & hits, yet there were guys so fearless they played without helmets.
For some context, I played amateur hockey in the UK for a year. I blocked a slap shot with the inside of my left thigh, one of the only parts of the body without padding. I had a bruise covering the inside of my thigh for 6 months. Yes, they're 6 ounces, but that's 6 ounces of solid rubber flying at you like a bullet.
Hockey is absolutely amazing, seeing your reactions to it brings back all the feelings I had when I first watched it as a kid. If you want some more fun stuff, watch some videos of the All Star weeks, those are great. Also, check out some vintage hockey, in the days before helmets were made compulsory! That stuff is brutal!
Best channel to watch when i want to relive the moments, thanks man!
Canadian culture, our identity, our passion. Hockey is an expensive sport, and parents make sacrifices both in time and money so their kids can play. It is a family commitment. Skating is a major part of Hockey, and some parents have their kids learning to skate at the same time they are learning to walk, making skating as natural for them as breathing. Hi from a proud Hockey mom, from Alberta.
Best calls in NHL history that video is so hype it gets me pumped
That Marty goal gets me every time, he wasn’t in New York for long but easily one of my favorites players to wear the rangers blue
It’s fun to watch him seeing hockey for the first time because I actually play hockey
For laughs, have a movie night with friends and watch the classic hockey movie “Slap Shot” with Paul Newman in it. You will never get the “Hanson Brothers” out of your head.
Hahahaha that movie is hilarious
And to think hockey is a lot more tame than what it used to be. The Broad Street Bullies. Those days were crazy. When the padding was minimal and not many wore helmets. Thnx Adam. Great video
So much fun to watch you you’re so honest
always fun to see someone discover my favourite sport.
Cheers from Kingston, Ontario (Canada) - where some say Hockey was born.
The puck is 6 oz of vulcanized hardened rubber... and they freeze the pucks for the game... they are very hard, especially when travelling at 100+km/hr
You must see Alex Ovechkin and "the goal" he scored from on his back and sliding almost behind the net.
Adam Couser: An NHL hockey puck is a vulcanized rubber disc that is 2.5 cm thick, 7.62 cm in diameter, and weighs about 170 grams. The pucks are kept frozen solid until used in play, which reduces the amount of bouncing the puck does. The record speed of a NHL slapshot is 175 km per hour. The record speed for NHL skating is 48 kilometers per hour, but many players can regularly skate at 32 - 40 kilometers per hour, which can make the collisions quite violent.
I've never put a like on a reaction video before so this is my first and I watch quite a few different channels basically music and sports and you are by far are my favorite. Your reactions seem completely genuine and you make every video completely enjoyable for your viewers
Our Captain last playoffs scored a goal off his mouth, lost 4 teeth, was out for a bit so he could put a face shield on his helmet, & then came back into the game. THAT’S a hockey player!!!
I love the British expression of someone being ‘sent for a cigarette.’ It’s so ridiculously hilarious. 😂😂😂
You should check out “Alex Ovechkin best hits & goals” by the highlight factory that guy is one of the best in the league and will definitely be in the hall of fame
Please watch a best of Pavel Datsyuk video! Honestly one of the best hockey players that ever has been
That Mikael Granlund's ot goal is just amazing.
Nothing like it. Give it a shot if you can someday. A game experience is incredible and a real sport deserves a real trophy. Another great video 👍👏👏
St Louis moment was so touching. Check out the Craig Anderson emotional shutout too. That one is a tear jerker.
Lord Stanley’s Cup is massive because the winning team gets the name inscribed on the actual cup. If you see it close enough in person you can see the names of the teams who won it decades ago
It's the combination, of speed, skill, and yes, brute force, that we Hockey fans enjoy.
Dude, I am so frigging happy I found this channel!
I'll never forget Jazz Hands Martinez. This whole video is why I love hockey.
Beautiful moments for me - any time the Captains immediately give the Stanley Cup to the veterans who have been chasing the cup for years. Gretzky's last game. The Sharks comeback against the Golden Knights in Game 7. Joonas Donskoi's OT winner for the Sharks first ever Stanley Cup Final Game win. Patrick Marleau breaking Gordie Howe's record (The celebration in Vegas and then in the home game after), The Miracle on Ice last minute, Owen Nolan's goal from center ice, Tomas Hertl's four game night in front of his mom. Is it apparent I'm a Sharks fan yet? lol. Oh one more, and this is the Shark's rivals too, when Getzlaf on the Ducks was helping the opposing team's player crawl to the bench--real class act--even though I hate the man haha
So glad you got to see it. That videos like 6 years old too. If you want a good hockey story look up anything about the St. Louis Blues Stanley cup run last year. Absolutely amazing. They were the last place team and made it all the way to the finals and won
He should do hockeys most emotional moments guys coming back from cancer, injuries, players first goals, retirements etc.
I told my kids I was taking them to a hockey game several years ago. We live in Cincinnati Ohio and have a minor league team. My kids did not want to go as they knew nothing of the sport. We had first row seats. As soon as the game started and the guys began hitting the glass in front of us, my kids were hooked. One player dropped a puck over the glass for my son. We have now gone to many games. It is an amazing time.
Dominic Hasek and Pavel Datsyuk highlights. Hasek was a wildly unorthodox goaltender who did amazing jaw dropping things. Pavel Datsyuk is a master class puck handler, passer, and is insanely creative. Both will showcase the skill of the game at a level that was unprecedented before them.
The movie “Miracle” is worthy of a watch. Sure it’s more special to us Americans because it’s about our gold medal run in 1980, but it captures the heart of what hockey is and all of its beauty. Won’t be disappointed.
That cup has the name of every player who has ever had the joy of lifting it!!! Greatest cup, greatest game!!
If the puck crosses the goal line in a glove you have to be able to prove that it completely crossed the line
Love your reactions.
I love playing it and watching. It’s nice to hear you appreciate the game we love to play.
I've never had someone pick up a puck for the first time and not be surprised by how heavy it is. And it's nice, soft, cushy GALVANIZED RUBBER
I played on a Mens Travel team for 11 years. I played hockey for 20+ years before I became to sick to play. I can barely walk anymore. I miss playing so much. Truly, the most glorious game on earth! LETS GO RED WINGS!!
Marty St. Louis scored that goal on mother's day after his mother suddenly passed away. He said she would have wanted him to be with the team. It also saved the team from elimination as they were down in the series 3-1 (best of 7).
Gosh these are funny... growing up watching/playing hockey has made all of this normal to me, but it's super entertaining to see it from someone else's perspective!! keep up the good content this is great... love from Canada!!
I have so much respect for you now😂. Hockey truly is amazing
@7:42 is Mikael "ilmaveivi" Granlund from Finland!
