I'll never forget seeing Chara have his jaw turned to jello by a puck (broke in 3 spots), he shook his head a bit and you could see it wiggle. The absolute animal came back the next game with a full cage. Throwing hits within a week.

There are some videos out there of the player's parents reacting to their sons first NHL goal and they are tear jerkers. These parents spent years schlepping their kids to 5 am practices in local freezing ice rinks, adjusting family schedules, scrimping to buy equipment. I'd love to see your reactions to some of these.

Very touching. Thank you for bringing it to us❤

Goalies are nuts, last season Jack Campbell felt the moment his groin tore and his side of the conversation after Tkachuck jumped on his head was, "Yeah I tore my groin three minutes ago.", Mitch Marner says something to him and he responds, "No I'm going to finish the game." I can't connect those two sentences, it's like, wait, you literally tore a groin muscle, like ripping a steak, and you are going to finish the game?!? WTF.

Oh man, what a warrior!

TJ Oshie, one of the players on the Washington Capitals (the team I pull for), could barely hold back tears when he was interviewed on the ice at the end of Game 5 of The Stanley Cup Final in 2018, the game wherein my guys won The Cup. His father, 53 year old Timothy Sr., was in the stands, but he had Alzheimer's and watched his son win The Stanley Cup for the first time (TJ's first time winning it) without fully understanding what was happening. Tim Sr. died on May 4th, 2021. TJ spent the first 5 years of his career with the St. Louis Blues, but my Caps FLEECED them for him in 2015 and he was the most important addition to my team in the 2010s. He has been incredible teammate in DC, and is the heart beat of the locker room.

Pro hockey can be a bit expensive for tickets, but even at the university or development league level there's a lot of action. Worth checking out a game if you're in a smaller city that has a team.

Kabir, Thanks for reacts to The Beauty of Hockey Volume 2. Its did tries up some loose string in my history of hockey.

Thanks Diane :)

tough hockey players? this guy is a legend. 1972, Bruce Gamble was a goalie for the Philadelphia Flyers playing the Vancouver Canucks. he had a heart attack in the first period, skated it off (walked it off), then finished the game and won.

I loved it when 5ft. 4in. Martin St.Louis fighting with Chara

1) The guy getting hit in the leg at 4:56 at is Gregory Campbell. That puck broke his leg! 2) The guy in blue at 6:40 trying to annoy the goalie is Sean Avery. What he did was so absurd that the next day the league issued a rule change, so that it could be penalized as "unsportsmanlike conduct." It's known unofficially as the "Avery Rule." Another infamous incident involved two famous women he had previously dated, actress Elisha Cuthbert and model Rachel Hunter, who later dated other NHL players. Avery walked over to some reporters and said, without being asked about it, “I just want to comment on how it's become like a common thing in the NHL for guys to fall in love with my sloppy seconds. I don't know what that's about, but enjoy the game tonight.” He's the only player I know of in any sport who was kicked off his team by his teammates. 3) The announcer at 9:59 who said "full-frontal lobotomy" is Daryl Reaugh. He broadcasts Dallas Stars games and has a unique way with words. There's probably a highlight video of him on KZread. My favorite was when there was a great play involving brothers Jamie and Jordin Benn, who were teammates with Dallas, and Reaugh described it as "double Benn-etration." As far as I know he did not get in any trouble for that. 4) At 12:15, the "redemption story" of the New Jersey Devils in 2012 avenging their 1994 loss to the rival New York Rangers is a bit misleading because the Devils won the Stanley Cup three times in those years. If you look closely you can see that the goalie for both games, 18 years apart, was Martin (pronounced "Mar-TAN") Brodeur. As you can imagine, Brodeur was the only player for either team who played in both games. He played more than 20 years and holds the NHL records for goalie wins, losses, shutouts, and games played. 5) You were spot-on talking about the time and expense of the years of playing hockey before making it to the NHL. I can understand for the elite players, but far less than one percent of the players play professionally, and the majority of them never play in the NHL. In the U.S., and similarly in Canada I've heard, it has become routine for ordinary youth players to also travel. I have a brother with 3 teenaged sons who play hockey. The highest level any of them will play is on their local high school team. My brother, who has been fortunate in his career and likely earns in excess of $200,000, spends more than $5000 annually merely on renting ice time at rinks. (Decades ago, before climate change, more ponds froze and hockey was a "working class" sport. The shallow, man-made ponds that were created in cities in the 1800s when factories ran on water power would quickly freeze and there were far more hockey players in the cities than today. Now most of them come from wealthy suburbs.) There are the additional costs of the equipment, which is hundreds of dollars annually for each child. They play on "travel teams" with other ordinary players. Several times per season my brother or his wife will drive more than 100 km each way for one game. Once or twice per year they will travel hundreds of kilometers for a weekend tournament, requiring hotel stays. Sometimes they are both away, in different states with different kids. My sister-in-law, who is the most tireless person I've ever known, thinks the other "hockey parents" are crazy. And this is all in the densely populated corridor of the northeastern U.S. Youth teams in the rural areas of the U.S. and Canada travel so much they often rent buses.

3:47 He's been in minor league for 7 years, after that season, he went back for 7 more before returning with the Kings last season. His 45-save shutout on debut was also the modern-era record for a goaltender on debut for most saves made.

Hi Kabir... that video of the Boston Player limping in the beginning (Gregory Campbell) actually had a broken leg from blocking that slapshot and played the rest of his shift until you see him limping over to the bench in the video.

Great video again, you should check out Nicklas Lindstrom, he was the best defenseman to ever play.

Stanley cup playoff atmosphere feels like a Roman coliseum!

Honestly, if you can swing it, a hockey game in Las Vegas is an Experience. You should check out some of their preshow videos, they're incredible. Even the players from all the other teams keep voting it the best arena to play in. The Knights' first season started just after the October 1 shooting in Las Vegas, and that has really influenced how the team and the community has interacted since then, it's pretty cool. Love your videos!

Hockey is a great place to go and watch the game = full of unexpected events during the game. Believe me, I've been there thanks to my brother-in-law who invited me to the hockey games when I was young back then.

If you ever find a video with the story of TJ Oshie’s emotional hockey journey, it’s absolutely worth a watch/reaction

1:54 When he was ten years old, his father Gerald died due to a major heart attack.

I would love if you react to How good is Yadier Molina, really. I enjoyed it because he is on my favorite team but I would also think you would like it.

Please check out "Wayne Gretzky, all time leader in goals, points" and try to catch ALL the things said, it is pretty amazing. This is why he was/is known as 'The Great One.

The more you learn about hockey, the more it sucks you in. It's amazing and the players are as well. I come back to this vid often to watch the good times during this stressful playoff period between TB and COL lol.

I remember back in1995 in game 7 of the playoff series between the Capitals and the Penguins when Kjell Samuelsson took a high stick to the face from Michal Pivonka in the second period. He went to the locker room and received over 60 stitches to his face then returned to the ice to continue playing in the 3rd period. Pittsburg won the game and the series. I don't know that there is anyone else in the history of the NHL that showed more toughness...

You should check out the Bobby Ryan story it’s really crazy

I'd love you to see a St. Louis Blues game, talk about an electric atmosphere, same with St. Louis Cardinals baseball. St. Louis is Heaven for those two sports

There are a lot of great videos about athletes that give fans love. I’ll try and see if I can find them again and throw some links.

If you want to go to a great game with incredible atmosphere, playoffs start beginning of may. You can snag a ticket in the earlier rounds for a fairly reasonable price.

Kabir, I LOVE your reactions. Would you pretty please react to Home Free? Acapella group, their beat boxer is INSANELY talented and they have a great time making music together. You can't go wrong with covers of Mayday by Cam, Man of Constant Sorrow or Butts remix (freakin fabulous!). Or any of their originals- Champagne Tastes, Cold Hard Cash for Christmas, etc.

I have been trying to leave a comment about a video you should watch, but every time I put it up, it is gone later. It is called “The Away Game”. It is a story about the only African hockey team I have ever heard of, being brought to Canada from Kenya to finally play against another team. It was sponsored by Tim Horton’s, the Canadian donut franchise.

In 2018 when Washington Capitals won the Stanley cup TJ Oshie's dad had alzheimers. TJ handed the Stanley cup to his dad & with tears in his eyes TJ said this is 1 memory my dad won't forget.

Nothing in sports is better that grown men turning into children, the second they win. So amazing.

Not a huge hockey fan but Hockey parents probably have to put in the most work of any. A lot of practices even in the lower levels are held at like 4 am because of the difficulty to get rink times. So few rinks compared to the number of teams makes the time valuable. It takes a lot of dedication and early mornings spent in cold rinks by the players and the parents.

They made this video so dramatic! I love physical goalies! How can they not show the pure hockey gods that were Wayne Gretzky And the mid 80s wonderment that was the Edmonton Oilers?? 🤨 I still have scars that show on my face from hockey injuries...

You need to go to an original six game!!!!

I'd love to see you react to more about Alex Ovechkin. He just signed a new 5 year deal that's likely to be his last contract in the NHL. He's 5th on the all time goals list and has a chance to beat Gretzky's all time goal record by the time his career is over.

In no other sport do players intentionally injure themselves to win. If you dont believe me, go block a shot.
