You said it perfectly. Dudes doing this with a puck, skates, and a puck with grown men and a goalie trying to stop you. Left one thing out. The BEST cats in the world bro, trying to stop you. That’s how insane these moves are

I really respect how open you are to learning about new things. If more people were open minded like you, I truly feel like hockey would be the biggest sport in the world based on how entertaining it is and the skill it takes to play at that level.

3:04 I present to you Alexander Ovechkin, the third all time leading goal scorer in NHL history, with 780 goals. Only Gordie Howe (801) and Wayne Gretzky (894) are ahead of him.

Bruh this reaction is amazing. This needs more views by the hockey community. Love seeing new people grow to appreciate the game I love so much. You gained a sub. Would love to see you react to NHL knockout as soon as possible! You’ll love it. Legit KO’s. Only place in the US you can bare knuckle fight without any penalty from the law is a hockey rink. NHL playoffs start next week. The last few years the NHL playoffs were voted the most exciting sports playoff by fans of all sports. NHL playoffs are WILD. Super physical, some insane hype moments. Overtime doesn’t end until someone scores. It’s insane dude. You need to watch some playoff games. I know it probably interferes with NBA playoffs but please do yourself a favor and watch some playoff games. You’ll be hooked

One thing that seems understated is that the guy that did the spin move is the biggest guy in the league. A defenseman named Zdeno Chara that stands at 6'9" before putting on skates... incredible!

Honestly I really enjoy the perspective from somebody who is passionate about basketball watching hockey, bc as someone who did it the other way around, it's interesting to see the comparisons he makes

It's a beautiful thing to watch a new hockey fan being born

Fun fact: the toe-drag forehand-to-backhand scored at 7:00 by #14 Jordan Eberle was his first NHL career goal. He scored it in his very first NHL career game, which was the first game of the season, and the Edmonton Oilers were playing their provincial arch-enemies Calgary Flames in what is called "The Battle of Alberta" and the rivalry goes back 40 years. Oh, he also scored it on the penalty kill which is just **chef's kiss**

Ha, I love your reactions to the fastest, and greatest sport on the planet !!! We don't fake fouls, we don't cry about a referrers calls, (much. 😆), we don't let "boo-boos" take us out of the lineup, we play for our teammates, and we play as to,..." NEVER GIVE UP !!!"

love seeing people react to dangles because it really does open the casual eye to the amount of skill in hockey. A lot of people see the hits and fights and don’t realize that’s only a part of hockey. Nice reaction earned a sub

The reaction to Ovy’s sliding goal had me weak 😭😂 that was dirty af

Well Matt, with you watching these NHL clips you see that hockey is the best !! 😀😉 It has the eye/hand coordination of Baseball, the stamina of Basketball, the physicality of Football and all while on 1/4" of steel at 20 mph. Gotta start to watch my friend !!

please watch the beauty of hockey the greatest game on the planet!! great video

My top 5 NHL goals (in no particular order) are: 1. That Rick Nash goal in this video 2. That Jonathan Toews goal in this video 3. Connor McDavid skating thru 4 Rangers and a goalie 4. Jared Spurgeon against the Devils where he batted the puck out of midair 5. Marek Malik's shootout goal

7:07 that was Jordan Eberle’s first career goal definitely the best first ever

As a Canadian I’m always baffled as to why more Americans have not fallen in love with hockey. It has everything I think you guys want in sports. Speed skill physicality aggression bare knuckle fighting. It’s like a football tackle only being done at around 20km an hour in speed.

You should watch the Stanley Cup finals, coming up shortly. You'll like it, it's going to be a good one. Hockey is the best sport. I say that as someone who's not really into sports. The stuff that you like is basically the whole game. It's always fast, back and forth, low stopage time. The goaltending is the best in sports to watch. Even low scoring games can be spectacular because of it. Maybe you've since watched goaly highlights, but if you haven't you're in for a treat, as good as this. It is just as impressive. You get used to losing the puck, the NHL has the best camera angles for replays in sport to make up for it.

This is why we love hockey.

I get great pleasure from seeing someone see such goated hockey plays for the first time. keep up the great content!

Haha this was great, I love how some of these boys can undress the whole other team and leave them scrambling around looking for their socks… meanwhile, GOALLLLL

Ah watching people discover hockey is one of my favorite things ever.

I was gonna type a whole comment out with names, teams, and such for you to check out, but I see the hockey community has already done a fantastic job. So all I'll say is welcome to it, and thank you for giving this sport we love so much the respect and love it deserves.

you caught my eye having Datsyuk in the thumbnail! Next to Mario Lemieux, hes my favorite ! and dont feel bad, sometimes i have trouble seeing the puck or the speed is too fast at times and i've been watching hockey most my life haha

I love watching new people just get a chance to see how beautiful hockey is

NOW! Is probably the best time to start getting into hockey. For so long, this game had been held back by less talented, bigger, nastier, older players since this used to be the way to win especially in the playoffs. Since like 2015, the game has soared in goal scoring because players are faster, more skilled and younger than ever before in the NHL. Every year, we see new crazy dekes and plays being shown and mainly done by the rookies and superstars. Number 13 for the Red Wings (all red jersey with white highlights) is the guy who started these mind boggling dekes. I feel like every player in the NHL idolizes the Magic Man.

Hahahah, 6:33 Datsyuk corkscrewing Couture (it was his birthday) broke this dude's mind and it stayed broke until 7:03 cause next was McD, Dats, ol '66, and Great 8, and it kept going. Watching this stuff live is amazing man.

Came here for the Nash goal, you didn't disappoint LOL @ 7:54

i love this man, good job, I'm a goaltender and let me tell you, these dudes have skills. Skate, Stickhandle, shoot at the same time. theres mad skills in this game.

2:20 Thats known as possibly the greatest goal ever scored in the NHL, scored by Alexander Ovechkin. He will soon pass Wayne Gretzky to become the #1 NHL goal scorer of all time.

You saw pavel datsyuk move and didnt react, thats how good he is 🤣🤣🇨🇦🇨🇦🇩🇰🇩🇰🤙🏼🤙🏼

7:02 Jordan Eberle’s first ever NHL goal… has to be the best first goal ever

“I be watchin it Bruh” absolutely love it

Thank you for looking at the skill involved in this amazing sport. So many people watch the fights, the hits, and the injuries and then stop. Thats like, 2% of the sport. The real impressive stuff is the speed, precision and agility involved

So, girls play hockey too. My youngest daughter is a 15 YO player. She is one of the best players in the USA. It is so fun to watch your take on hockey. You would be shocked at what is takes to get a girl to keep play at the top level. So many miles and some much money.

That goal where you stand up and say “No.” is Ovechkin, that’s widely regarded as one of the best goals of all time

If you haven’t yet and you get a chance go watch this stuff live. You’ll be amazed at the speed of the game and skill of these guys

One thing people who have never played never understand that is one of the most if not the hardest sport to master. It’s takes more skill than any other sport and more physicality than any other sport. Extremely underrated and extremely entertaining. Also the Stanley cup is one of the top 3 hardest trophies to win in any sport if not number 1 in the USA at least

hey look, hockey is probably one of the most intense sports of the major 4... I grew up playing it recreationally - almost no one understood .... But it's nice to see people appreciate the sport - I mean it's an extremely difficult sport to play.... Look I was drafted by the White Sox back in the day because I played baseball too but I never signed because I was obsessed with hockey - and I really wanted to be a hockey player - I kinda sucked, lol - but I had fun..... Look these dudes are skating at 20 MPH essentially dong numerous crossovers then deaking the goalie out of their jock strap ...... Hockey is easily one of the most entertaining er - there is no emotion to describe playoff h hockey - it will leave you shaking at times - it can just get so creative and intense at times - intensity in the playoffs, creativity usually during the regular season.... Yea, the coach is going to bench your butt if you pull these moves in the playoffs unless you've pulled them off successfully in the past, lol.... And even if you do score you may get "reprimanded " for even trying it if it's against the game plan, lol..... So yea, you could get benched for doing that by your own team, lol.... Hockey is still a fantastic sport and I would recommend it to anyone.... Also some of those dangles were even more impressive because they started them at the blue line or stole the puck and remained "on-side" - I just wanted to point that out - it's a hockey rule I really don't want to explain right now - but my fellow hockey fans will absolutely appreciate that, lol...

The cup final starts this week- and there are players in it that pulled off moves in this video (Makar, MacKinnon). Tune in for a bit for a game!

Hockey is definitely one of the most athletic and difficult sports in the world. It's an incredibly fast and violent sport, and you only get the puck on your stick for just a few seconds at a time, and probably don't have the puck for over 1 minute during an entire game... and yet the top players are always doing magic with it despite the speed and limited opportunities.

Nice reaction!! The NHL just hit the playoffs, round 1 going on right now, definitely a good time to catch some games on tv

Lotta mutual support between NHL and NBA teams. Especially in situations like Chicago the Bulls and Blackhawks share the same stadium, similar red and black look, then on a long homestand one team's off day will be the other team's game day so you'll see them once in a while taking in a game of the other and rooting for each other. It's kinda noice.

Love your channel, man! Keep it going.

played hockey all my life , greatest sport on earth

Love to see new ppl falling in love/ giving hockey the respect it deserves! Soccer maybe the most popular sport in the world but in my eyes Hockey will Always be the greatest! SPEED: A hockey player in full flight in a game on avg hit 25mph and some over 30mph FINESSE: You've seen it in this video! At speeds being able to Deke, Juke and Dangle through players trying to knock the down to the unforgiving ice! PHYSICALITY: Out Strengthening your opponents for the puck, to Bone Crushing hits, a player always has to keep their head up! FIGHTING: With 2 willing and able opponents I believe hockey is the only sport in the world that allows its players to Duke it out to settle misgivings! STUNNING MOMENTS: From Unbelievable GOALS and celebrations to Even More astounding SAVES and disbelief! This sport, even more so in the playoffs, Is Always Action Packed!

Great reaction man I really enjoyed it! 👍

7:51 Rick Nash scored this goal with less than 30 seconds left in the game, breaking the 3-3 tie. Truly a heartbreaker for the home fans that think this game is going to OT only to lose 4-3 on that absolute gem of a goal. Something like this just happened this year, the Avalanche eliminated the Blues at home in game 6 on a goal scored with just over 5 seconds left in the game. It was not as flashy as this one but the heartbreak is still the same.

I have my autographed framed Pavel Datsyuk jersey hanging in my office. I was spoiled living in detroit watching the red wings for most of my childhood. I was there for the avalanche and wings rivalry and for all of the cups we won. We got Steve Yzerman back home to get us back right. Tampa is about to have their 3rd straight Stanley cup. Aka a team Steve Yzerman mostly put together. Our future is bright. Joe Sakic (avalanche) Steve Yzerman (red wings) are both GMs for the teams they played their careers for. I can’t wait Until they face off in the playoffs like old times.

There’s a whole lotta “Skrrrt!!” In hockey haha

Ahh yes, welcome to the fastest, toughest and most skilled team sport on earth!

ive been watching hockey since the early 80s and I still rewind every play like you do.

Hockey is severely underrated. A crossover in basketball can't hold a candle to a sweet hockey dangle. The basketball is huge compared to a puck. Basketball players wear grippy sneakers on a grippy floor. Hockey players have to balance themselves on a slippery surface while riding on top of razor blades... at much higher speeds while carrying a curved stick.

Somebody show this man Robbie Shremp with the puck 😂😂

Hockey is the closest sport to basketball, and vice versa. Speed, finesse, tactics. I always say to basketball fan to watch hockey and to hockey fans to watch basketball. They're really, somehow, cousins.

Best sport live, even with their two halftimes. Playoff hockey is amazing.

The Nash goal at 8:20 is probably the best goal in history. He Merced three dudes AND the goalie.

Watch best saves to see how good the goalies are

Pavel Datsyuk was probably my favorite player

Hockey is fast, precision, speed. Incredible game! Go AVALANCHE

2:45 I love him seeing one of Ovi’s best goals of all time

bro didnt even pay attention to the last clip of pavel datsyuk going through the entire nashville team

I know I'm late to the party, but the key to watching hockey is to not watch the puck, watch the players. They'll face wherever the puck is and try and set up from there

LOL when you are not used to hockey, following the puck is a nightmare, let alone trying to watch the reply and making sense of how it went in.

Bro his face during the entire video was like "HUH???"🤨

Hockey makes every other sport look like it's going in slow motion.

Like and subbed immediately after you only took 34 seconds to get through your intro. I'd like and sub based on your appreciation. Its like playing basketball but you can't really touch the ball and the ball is the size of a baseball and you can figure skate your ass around with a cricket paddle and try to score a goal like soccer. You can also box someone if yall agree to it. What a game!

How could you not say "Hockey is the most exciting game there is!"

Don’t waste your time if looking for straight power and skill: the forsberg show, if dangles: anything with pavel datsyuk, if greatness the great one.

When you meet these people as children on the ice Well you see pretty quickly they have the talent As adults they will skate circles around you

The awesome thing about it is, if you're a hockey fan and you watch games all the time, especially in the nhl, you see this shit happen all the time. Constantly. And it's rad. It's not like baseball where you may never see a grand slam or some crazy play except for rare circumstances. You see awesome shit happen all the time. Also, go check out some smaller local hockey. Like I'm in east Texas and locally we have the Shreveport mudbugs. Smaller rink, but all of the fans are way more into it, you're way closer to the ice, it's more agressive, there's more hits, more fights. In fact, that's my only complaint about hockey in general these days. The refs don't let guys go at it as much. They always try to break them up immediately. And idk why. They're just gonna keep trying to fight till you let them go and get it over with. But yeah bro, truly the best game out there. I love it. I recommend getting the video game if you're just getting into hockey. Also the Stanley cup championship is on right now so definitely check that out. Even the regular season is great, but playoffs are the best. Oh also, if you're gonna root for a team, root for the Dallas stars. They're the best team ever created

These dangles are exactly why every coach worth his salt tells his defensemen to play the body not the puck!

Starry night lol 😮haha. It's fun watching when it's my first time seeing all this myself. I'm same way , it's hard to watch on TV and I never see puck but highlights are insane. Def the most underrated sport not even a argument for any other

i love when people from other sports watch hockey and can understand why we watch/play it, its incredibly skilled and rough aswell and basically allows fights. why wouldnt you wanna see a guy going 30mph into a hit lmao, its also the fastest sport out there

Saw that goal by Rick Nash (#61) when I was like 5 years old and fell in love with the game

Maxim Afinogenov used to do moves like this every game.

yo I love this dude lmfao he gone be big one day

always love to see non-hockey folk react to vids like this

Little tip, instead of pressing play-stop-play-stop. Press > for frame by frame slow motion.

Bros reactions make my day, best reaction videos

9:00 me to me when ive been gettin to drunk. But for real appreciate you and this vid. From Frankford philly but played every sport. Hockey was my baby. Still play today, nothing like it bro. And that puck is bigger and heavier than it appears on vid lol

I've been watching hockey for about 40 years and still need slow motion don't worry about that. Think Barry Sanders on ice skates. A comment about best goalie saves, I second that. Some dudes are shooting puck at 100 MPH

Back when I was a kid, my best friend taught me basket and I taught him hockey. Best years of my life I'll always remember

It is but mere inches that determines whether or not a video ends up in a greatest hits or best dangles video

I kind of agree with your point on golf. I can't stand it when I'm *watching* it, but playing it myself is another story. It's all about being calm, taking your time, taking your surroundings into account, making a plan, then executing. And when it comes together its a great feeling. Judt boring af to watch😅

I was born 98 and let me tell you this was my exact reaction when I was about 7 year old watching these exit highlights except mcdavid lol

Pavel Datsyuk did this kind of stuff ALL the time.

As a hockey player since '72, I'd say your reactions to these plays are probably the same as teammates on the bench when it happened.

11:50 gotta love Bobby Ryans goal

that Ovechkin goal is probably the best goal scored of all time
