I am a goalie, you have to track that puck at anywhere from 60-90 mph, but unlike in baseball we have 9 other people moving around between you and the shooter, it can bank off of any of them, and that shot can come from anywhere on the ice, and its not always a direct line, they may intentionally shoot it wide to bank it off another player before trying to score, it is absolutely the HARDEST position in sports
Literally gotta be the easiest position in the entire league. They literally pull the goalie out when they are down to make a play for another goal lol! Ya don’t need em
@@Morejoenojoseph not commenting on your point, but there is statistically a 300% *increase* in the chance the other team scores on the empty net, and only a 50% increase in the chance that the team with the extra attacker scores. It is a last-ditch play that backfires more often than it works
The ones where it looks like it might be in wont count in order for it to be counted as a goal it has to cross the line without a reasonable doubt, Therefore you have to be able to see it, now if his glove went far into the net before the whistle then it would be a goal, cause its obviously in, but if its barly across the line and you can't tell exactly where it is in the glove then its no goal
Canadians invented the today's versions of 1) Baseball in 1838 and 2) Lacrosse 1859 and 3) Football in 1874 and 4) Ice Hockey in 1875 and 5) Basketball in 1891. This modern version of Ice hockey was developed in Montreal, Canada in 1875 and has spread to the US and the rest of the world. This rough and tough full contact version of ice hockey is known as Canadian Hockey and has been later adopted by the US and is now becoming known as North American Hockey. The NHL, was not the original hockey league but is a combination of now defunct leagues. The NHL was comprised of more than 90% Canadian players but is now down to around 50% Canadian players. Canada is the reigning and ruling nation of hockey having more than twice as many international wins as the next closest country, Russia. The Stanley Cup is the hardest trophy, to win, in professional sports. Involves an 82 game season and a round of four series of best of seven games to claim it (min 16 to max 28 games). There are 32 teams, 7 Canadian and 25 US teams. While the Stanley Cup has not been won in Canada since 1997, Canadians always win the cup as most players on Stanley Cup winning teams are Canadian (ie. 2023 Vegas GK 19 of 20 were Canadian and Florida, 16 of 20 were Canadian). Checking: initial contact from shoulder down to above knees. Cannot use elbow, knee, head or stick to check. Also cannot hit a player from behind - on the numbers. Additionally, you cannot jump, you cannot charge and the puck must be there or have been there within the last 3 seconds for a check to be legal. Players move at speeds of upto 28 mph or 40 kmph, wear less padding than footballs players and are on ice. Hence, despite being approximately 20% smaller, NHL hits are 17% harder and then you land on ice. If humanly possible, hockey players get backup after a hit. Laying on the ice, diving, faking an injury is not tolerated by the league nor the players, including your own teammates. Hence, players who commit such acts are disliked by teammates and seldom respected or protected. If it happens in hockey it doesn't tend to continue. The puck is hard vulcanized rubber and is frozen for game play. Shots average 80 to 100 mph but can go as high as 120 mph, hence, the puck can break bones of you are hit, including foot and lower legs. Fights are illegal and players receive a 5 min penalty for fighting. To score a goal the puck must fully cross the red goal line in the net and cannot be kicked in or batted in with the hand. It can deflect off the foot or arm. Hockey consists of three 20 min periods. Unlimited substitutions where play does not stop to change players. The clock stops when play stops. There is no 'out of bounds' but if puck goes into crowd game stops and restarted using a new puck. If tied, there is 5 min sudden-death OT then, if needed, shoot-outs happen. During playoffs, no shoot-outs, they play til one team scores. Hope this helps.
Unless you've ever touched the ice you cant just say you could do what these guys do lol
The roads icy all the time…
@@Morejoenojoseph Dude you are losing the hockey fans. It is quite literally the hardest game to play in any sport. You cant do shit

Please stop saying its the easiest position. It is the hardest.

The average slap shot or one timer is an average of 100 mph or a 160 klm an hour so in reality a goalie is catching a car speeding on the highway lol
He needs to react to Ron hextall and the glass did used to break not much anymore
You know absolutley nothing about goaltending not the easiest position bro
Binner's game 7 toe save in the 2019 final's against the Bruins was big time pressure personified. Saved the cup in my opinion for the Blues.
"Still the easiest position in all of the league" got me😂😂 funny joke dude
"I could have done that" Boy, you try. Prove it.

how was the Nashville game?
The goalie can catch the puck in the goalie as long as it doesn't a 💯 cross the goal line so thst save was a good save and not a goal
Only ONE Carey Price clip.... as a habs fan who grew watching Carey Price at least 300 maybe 320 of his victories are won only by him.
Also goalie isn't a eady position to play because in reality your entire team depends on you along with only 1 million plus people watching you
Love your reactions but as a goalie…..you can not do what these guys do. Not a chance.
I would literally destroy any goalie in the world !! Thanks for loving the reacts gang
