Brain: “do it”

Me: “Why?”

Brain: “You gotta.”

This is perhaps the most relatable video I’ve ever watched as a goalie.

They say, as a shooter, it's good to take notice of the opposing goalie's tendencies.

I was expecting a Haesk windmill.

u/peanut-arms TOR - NHL 18h ago

Came here to say the same thing. I don't think this is a windmill I was pretty sure that a windmill is when you do the whole flipping your legs up in the air and landing on the other side

20

u/DepressingAura 18h ago

They're both windmills. You have windmill glove saves, and windmill pad saves. The windmill pad saves were what Hasek was known for.

2

u/moderndaydruid1 18h ago

Oh, is it not actually called a Hasek roll? I thought that was the technical name for it.

u/Cum_on_doorknob 12h ago

Yea, I thought this was called “statue of liberty”

Same! This is still fun though

Cale Makar Hated that

u/harman097 BUF - NHL 19h ago

Cale Makar does not have the capacity for hate.

He is a rosy-cheeked being of light.

26

u/NoticedGenie66 VAN - NHL 15h ago

He looks like he'd be running around a rink unsupervised and ask me if I have games on my phone

u/Key-Tip-7521 NYR - NHL 15h ago

So a kid version of Babcock?

u/alphaxion NYR - NHL 19h ago

This kid just sees some floating text appear in front of them

u/TheGardiner TOR - NHL 18h ago

I love how he does it after the whistle, making sure his hot-dogging doesnt blow up in his face. That's good stuff.

When you're given an extra frame of input after a stoppage in Chel.

u/mowegl 19h ago

Now he needs rotator cuff surgery

u/KoalaOriginal1260 VAN - NHL 15h ago

Yeah. This must be a U40 league.

u/flyingvwap DET - NHL 16h ago

I just hope he did it after he let one in

u/CenobiteCurious 11h ago

Man one of my biggest regrets in life is living in an area with no hockey, I got that Czech heritage, absolutely ripped on rollerblades as a kid, and thought this looked so fun. Just was too hot and no facilities near by :(.

Actually i don’t even know are Czech hockey players even prevalent? Or am I clueless.

Like, do cold areas have high school hockey teams? So fucking jealous I woulda been all over that shit.

u/PMMEJALAPENORECIPES Wheeling Nailers - ECHL 10h ago

There’s a good bit of Czech players in the league rn. Pastrňák is one of the top goal scorers in the NHL

Nick the Goalie did it first

u/EndsLikeShakespeare DAL - NHL 17h ago

Givin em the ol how do you do

u/AuxNimbus WPG - NHL 17h ago

It would've been funnier if he dropped to his knees after doing the windmill

u/itsjustsurvival WSH - NHL 18h ago

HNIR at its finest. Weird seeing your own beer league team pop up here.

u/Character-Injury-555 19h ago

Probably helps with the movement too when you do need it

u/hnglmkrnglbrry CBJ - NHL 17h ago

That save off the deflection was pretty awesome by all parties.

1

u/ILSmokeItAll CHI - NHL 17h ago

LMAO

That’d be quite the shtick to stick to after every glove save. lol

u/Accomplished-One7476 16h ago

u/Canadian__Ninja COL - NHL 15h ago

I like how there's enough of a delay every time so that no one can mistake this for genuine showboating

It got old after the third time, but got funny again after the 4th time.

u/mwl1234 13h ago

Fucking legend.

u/DrDerpberg Canada - IIHF 11h ago

This harmless fun trash talk is the thing I miss most about not playing beer league anymore. I'd be doing my best to score glove side all night just to talk extra shit over a beer.

1

u/HLef MTL - NHL 10h ago

He learned from the Roy mishap and he waits for the whistle. Smart man.

1

u/-SOLO-LEVELING- EDM - NHL 7h ago

Gotta wait for the ref to give you the ok with a whistle. Don’t want to pull a Patrick Roy.

u/bellzy09 6h ago

u/Whitetailchaser_77 25m ago

Average goalie things

u/Outside_Abroad_3516 COL - NHL 14h ago

How’s this funny

5

u/Marvelous_Chaos NJD - NHL 13h ago

You're right, it'd be funny if the goalie did the windmill and dropped the puck!

6

u/Easy_Sky_2891 13h ago

Roy did it ...

Not a windmill, but got caught Hot dogging ... dropped the puck - goal ...

u/Cum_on_doorknob 12h ago

First thing I thought of.

u/Marvelous_Chaos NJD - NHL 11h ago

That's what I was referencing, especially because they had the Colorado flair.
