I appreciate my parents so much for driving me up to 5 hours for hockey games. As a kid you think you are just going to a game but what we don’t realize until we are older is the fuel cost and the time they take off work to let us play the game we love. Wish I could’ve went further in my career to give them back half of what they gave me.

Another great hockey reaction. 18 days until the start of the NHL season 🏒🏒

Me, an Oilers fan: Rival spotted 🤣

The last part with St-Louis, he's from my province in Canada (Quebec) he recently did an interview in French about this. Basically, when he learned of his mother's death he took a direct plane to see his family to mourn and asked his dad what he should do (the rangers were in the middle of playoffs) and his fathers replied to him: she would have wanted you to play so go play hockey. I cried so much during that interview

this video single handedly made me a hockey fan. whoever made it did it right to entice people to watch.

I remember back in the 90’s, American television started broadcasting regular season and playoff hockey. What caught many new American fans off guard in the playoffs was what took place at the end of the series. No matter how nasty, hard hitting and tempestuous the series was, the opponents always line up and shake hands. It’s the Canadian thing to do.

All this to say, guys like crosby or mcdavid (like other legends across all sports) just seem to have been given the gift of knowing how to master something, but where the real credit they deserve comes from them capitalizing / making the most of the opportunities made possible for them by this ''mastery gift'' if you will.

I'm sure most people missed this, but when the video *showed is of fighting. it didn't *say* "The beauty or ---" write it or say it here. The NHL Commissioner changed the rules in that fights are not legal or some other variation. I call it just like the "Fight Club". The first rule of the Fight Club is there isn't any Fight Club.

My fave part of that Martin St.Loius story was that Syd Crosby found him before the game to give condolences for his loss. Hockey players are all teammates on some level. Even right after punching each others faces in, they usually tap each other out of respect.

Grew up 30 mins from Detroit, Michigan. Played hockey all my life and I can promise you there is no one as skilled as pavel. Another great for the red wings was Sergei fedorov!

In hockey, the action away from the puck is as important as the puck play. It's a nuance that some fans never really appreciate.

the Habs’ playoffs run this year had me fighting anxiety attacks after anxiety attacks. it was crazy.

I played hockey as a kid, We never froze our puck, the weather and rink did that for us. Our biggest problems with pucks was that they chipped to smithereens after a while. The game is so fast you _have_ to be a quick thinker to play it well, and your body _must_ use oxygen efficiently or you just can't keep up with the skating, it is so fast. Quickness and speed describe the game quite well, and tremendous athletic ability. The guys who can stick handle are like wizards to watch. One of the best I ever saw was Jaromir Jagr of the Pittsburgh Penguins. He seemed capable of turning guys inside out and embarrassing them as if it was nothing.

A quick comment on hockey. You can’t really appreciate the speed of the game unless you see it live. Video and television Cannot really capture the speed.

Hockey is just the most awesome sport especially the playoffs. When the playoffs start all other things in my life stop and cease too exist, just love it. Good video brother look forward to more as always.👍✌

You should react to the 2017 series between the Penguins and the Senators, such a highly contested series and amazing ending.

It just goes without saying but all of the sports that we love possess a beauty and artistry that only the truly initiated can appreciate. It takes a brilliantly produced video like this one that so clearly demonstrates the beautiful skills and abilities that these players posses. As a casual hockey fan, it made me feel like I really didn't know a damn thing about this exquisite game. When played at its highest level, it equals in creativity, finesse, artistry, style, energy, courage, toughness and intensity, any game I've ever seen played.

Hockey is such an underrated sport. I was lucky enough to work with the athletic staff of the 2015 champion chicago blackhawks. Those crowds are the loudest I’ll probably hear. The national anthem will leave your ears ringing as well. Just nuts.

They didn't show the first goal of the Blackhawk's Stanley Cup. They were trailing with one minute eighteen seconds left in the game when Brian Bickell scored. Then seventeen seconds later Bolland scored the goal they showed so they literally won the Cup on a night many thought they were about to travel back to Chicago for game 7.

React to Pavel Bure. Early-mid 90s. Most of these tricks remind me of him, most exciting player of the 90s. Looks like he inspired these guys

hockey is such a fun sport to watch and I really enjoy it. I hope for the future of the sport that it becomes more diverse and inclusive, there's been some pushes to make it more accessible for BIPOC and LGBT players, there's been a lot of charity work and organizations funded by NHL teams pushing to include children that may not be able to afford all of the equipment, which present a huge financial and time barrier entry for kids interested in the sport. like most professional sports there's still a ways to go for more inclusion. I think there is finally an openly gay NHL player as of this year, Luke Prokop. PK and Malcolm Subban, who are brothers, are two incredible black NHL players that have gained a lot of positive attention in recent years, just as examples. I became a big Blackhawks fan back in 2010 when they were on the path to the Stanley cup and hockey is still my absolute favorite sport to watch, even if the Blackhawks now consistently break my heart every year instead of smashing records like they used to lol.

I’ve seen that 50 times. Awesome.

The Pittsburgh Penguins is a team to watch and yes I'm a major fan of hockey.

Man i love your take on Datsyuk spot on

Detroit is Hockeytown for a reason Go Redwings!

Alexi Kovalev was better technically. Perhaps the best of all time. I recall reading stories of him growing up in the Soviet Union, his youth coaches during practice would have him play keep-away with the puck with everyone else on the team trying to dispossess him.

5:10 That would have been disallowed. You can not hit the puck towards the net in attempt to score a goal with a high stick. Goal cross bar is the level.

1) The guy at the beginning answering the question "is hockey hard?" is Hall-of-Famer Brendan Shanahan. Perhaps they should have asked a marginal player? Shanahan does have the unusual distinction of being highly ranked on the career lists for both scoring and penalty minutes (one cannot score from the penalty box). 2) FYI: There is a Netflix documentary called "Untold: Crime and Penalties" about a minor league hockey team owned by a mobbed-up guy who also owns a "waste management" (rubbish disposal) company. The team's mascot was the "Trashers." The minor leagues are where most of the fighters usually play, and this team set a record for penalty minutes, plus the owner was arrested for punching an official. 3) It is often said that the Stanley Cup is unusual in that there is just one version of the trophy, which the winning team is loaned after they win. Most sports champions receive a copy of the trophy and get to keep it forever. But I don't know how widely known it is that there are actually three Stanley Cups: the original bowl of the "Dominion Hockey Challenge Cup," donated by Lord Stanley in 1892, and loaned to the winner until 1969; the "Presentation Cup," now loaned to the winner, created to prevent any further damage to the original; and the spelling-corrected "Permanent Cup" on display at the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto.

I wondered for a while why Hockey isnt at least practiced in some form at a semi-pro level in Great Britain. It has the weather to support it, theyre not too poor to afford the basic gear. Yeah I know culturally Football and even Rugby are more ingrained but globally its been picking up in other nordic countries.

I guess nobody else is gonna mention that Alexander Ovechkin is actually way more then just a big bruiser. He's currently sitting 6th on the all time goal scorers list and it's still active, I don't know how it will turn out with this past season being shortened but he was on pace to beat Wayne Gretzky's all time goal record. Even Gretzky himself said if anyone was to beat his record he hopes it's Ovechkin.

Been to a lot of pro sports events, the 4 major to golf and tennis even lacrosse, there is no better event to attend than a hockey game besides a playoff hockey game

So as a Canadian I suppose to love hockey but I don’t because of the fighting but that me. What I suggest is a video compare how hockey and soccer are similar. Both sports don’t let use your hands to score or more be the ball/puck Both have offside Both have a goaltender. The passing patterns are similar The referees make a huge difference in the result. Enjoy your newfound love of ice hockey

Hockey is all of those things. Back when I had season tickets and went to two or three home games a week, it fed my soul. I can't explain it but when I was there I wasn't a wife, a mother or cook and bottle washer for a family saying and doing all the correct things...I was a screaming, cussing, cheering and booing other person who fed on the beauty. I used to record the games at home so I could watch them in slow motion the next day! Gorgeous, graceful, vicious, brave, angry warriors who would sacrifice their bodies for that win. When we got Gretsky it was such a thrill! You can't explain a love of hockey, you just can't. It has to be experienced before a person can wrap their brains around it. It's visceral and desperately grasping for the heroes to make that goal, or stop it. I believe it saved my sanity! How great it is that you, Kabir, were able to grasp it.
