Pfft Canada....Whoaaaaa CANADA
Vysard
The Canadians seem like they're the most well trained of the group. I wonder why.
jellyglaze
Always
whycantweallsmokeupandbehappy
I can fall on ice.
Tenchin
I dont know why but that canadian hockey goalie in black was as intimidating as seeing a B52 bomber swoop over... hes an unstoppable force
Sarcee
As a Canadian, I can verify that's a perfect execution of a Canadian mating dance.
tommy0877
I want to see them play that whack a mole game, while on a balance ball and juggling.
MattyBeFiya
prob do better than me with no handicap
MadMupp
Zero pucks given
HeyElnath
TheLastDorito
Yeah flames! That kipper???
MightyThanos
This is like a training scene from Rocky.. watching Dolf Lundgren train with high-tech shit. Love it.
MightyThanos

WreckGar
It makes feel as though my whole life is a lie! The Russian trains simply, like Rocky. the American has all the high tech shit, like Drogo.

I don't know hockey, but which team is better, Canada or Russia?

Lately canada has been. But its always close.
Mkezuul
Trade off.... both are great
MarekS
FINNS!
WallpaperProblems
Canada is better than Russia, but the US and Sweden are becoming quite the rivals.
PolarBears91
Swedish nhlers are some of the strongest defence in the game. Karlsson, Hedman, Kronwall... all incredible
WallpaperProblems
Karlsson is the best player in the NHL, ahh the joys of being a Senators Fan *Cries*
Trollingstoned
Lately, Canada is on a tear. Last 2 golds + WC for men, last 4 golds for women. Russia was incredible with the USSR but somewhat faded after
LordIggy
http://www.iihf.com/home-of-hockey/championships/world-ranking/mens-world-ranking/2016-ranking/ It's close, the top 6 can all take wins.
Dyingsucks
Top 5 id say. Czech's are falling off

@thund3rbolt for the little one
Thund3rbolt
as a hockey dad ...can confirm. 5:00 AM mornings to a freezing rink and it's worth it!
shieldslam
After playing indoor lacrosse with a white ball and white walls (goalie btw) I could only imagine how difficult a white puck on ice would be
IamTOOOLDforThisShite
I've said it before and I'll say it again: There are few things sadder and more pathetic than a lacrosse goalie.
BenDoverMikeHunt
Box lacrosse for life!
Unsupervisedadult
Box was the only time I scored. I was a long stick in field. Now Im raising a goalie. I don't know where I went wrong
BenDoverMikeHunt
Did you drop them?
shieldslam
I have no clue why I decided to play goalie. 3.5 gpa and chooses the most punishing position in lacrosse. Where's my logic?
Unsupervisedadult
Enjoy pain and having the game rest on your shoulders? Thats my sons reasoning. He says the pressure makes him play better
shieldslam
Probably that people tell me that I'm a really good goalie. I don't brag about it but it makes me feel good that I'm a talented goalie haha
MarekS
Missed the Finns. The best goalie nation in the world keeps the methods secret?
kupcs
Latvija!
LilPedr0
Hell yeah!
KaitlynTheSeaDragon
He's cute
WhitePoetWarlord
shouldn't some of these guys be wearing weights? to compensate for the gear? or, were those mainly for coordination
skindredzakuska
They should be doing it on ice wearing skates too. That's not the point though. They train that way too.
killerswan
A lot of this is training amateurs could do, too!
kongfuchicken
Yeah I watched anime too. Train with weights, start a match losing a bit then take off your weights and suddenly move at the speed of God...
MadMikes
Doing exercises W/o weights allows them to get the motions down perfectly. First comes form, then comes strength
adriano99
You wouldn't believe how light the gear is
[deleted]
[deleted]
StevenGlandsburg
Wrong
adriano99
Not the new stuff, been betwixt the pips for 30 years now. The gear now is amazing.
Duffmansaysalotofthing
That push from the canadian thought. ..
imtellingyouthetruth
Taught my son how to juggle. His batting average skyrocketed. Hand-eye coordination.
grammerpolice
No wonder I'm a terrible juggler.
WallpaperProblems
Wow how did you get a Stat into Space?!
TheyHaveaCaveTroll
Juggling. LISTEN, dangit!
astrogeek
Goalies juggle apparently.
GregForse
Badly
TheLannistersSendALovelyFruitBasket
Baseball players do too. Does wonders for hand-eye
JustSayingYouHaventSeenMeAndBatmanInTheSameRoomBefore
Only reason I picked up juggling playing baseball is because it's FUCKING BORING in the dugout waiting for your at bat.
afriendinneedsafriendindeedafriendwithmemesisbetter
Not in Canada.
kmikl
They do... on top of skating like they're forwards, and everything else goalies do.
afriendinneedsafriendindeedafriendwithmemesisbetter
kmikl
HOCKEY IS NO JOKE, EH.
shuttlecockinakumquat
Yeah, they juggle DEEZ NUTS
ravedomo
every goalie i've ever been on a team with has juggled tennis balls obsessively, i opened up my goalies bag once to find 20+ tennis balls
TwoPumpTrump
You sure he didn't just play tennis on the side?
Isawapuddytat
I did the same (in a lacrosse goals). It really helps!
someprickinvietnam
You sure that goalie wasn't a dog?
DeinnsBeans
Poligrizolph
Ain't no rule says a dog can't play hockey.
NyahNyahNyahNyahNyahNyahNyahNyahNyahNyahNyahNyahNyahNyahNyahNya
Plot twist: they were all dogs.
DeinnsBeans
cleverbeans
Notice how Latvia is focusing on the balls while doing legwork. Keeps the eyes in one place while the body does something else.
theweezel69
To improve hand eye coordination. Makes sense and is a cheap, low tech method that can be done just about anywhere.
LiterallyWorseThanHitler
Can even be done with potato, perfect for Latvia!
astrogeek
Makes sense.
BoltActionGearbox
and is cheap
USERREMOVEDBYTHEDISNEYCORPORATION
and is low tech
mosaix
Some people juggle geese.
mttty
Baby ducks! Goslings!
kmikl
I'VE HEARD ABOUT THIS!! JUGGLING KITTENS!
DeadShelly
I think Canadians want to win, and I mean win HARD
ISayFuckAllTheTime
Canada ain't fuckin around
getschwiftyatthrifty2
my knees are screaming just watching this.
seakira
yeah, how on earth are they just dropping their knees at weird angles to the hard ice?
Dawnstempest
Muscle strength and pads. If you aren't a fat out of shape bastard, it's easy to pull up and keep most of the weight off.
Trollingstoned
Lots of padding.
EhhACanadian
The pad conforms around your leg and bends to cover all areas. It doesn't hurt.
neonoptic
They basically have entire couches for padding to do that honestly.
Thatisdancing
You still end up hurting your knees even with the pads.
neonoptic
True. But the padding definitely does stave off some damage/wear and tear.
991cookie
I have one major problem with watching hockey. I can never find the damn puck to know what's happening
Unsupervisedadult
Its a learned skill. It takes awhile but once you have it you don't lose it.
Thatisdancing
Watch the players, not the puck. It's like in baseball, you don't watch the pitch, you watch the players reacting to the hit.
udick
white pucks is ludicrous
TheVelureFog
We used to use one in warm-ups just to piss our goalie off.

I remember reading that Florida did some white puck training last summer. Supposed to help with tracking the puck they say.
Pleebius
It helps the goalie learn to recognize where it is based on sound
Okebel
What if you played on black ice instead?
OfficialJoeBiden
Did you see that ludicrous white puck last night?
Iusedtohavenicelettuce
I play U16 Single A travel, and we always throw in a few during practice for shits and giggles.

Helps with stick handling
hashbot
Shot from white stick with white tape!
Bluedrift

dorenavant
Similar strategy to some soccer/football players who practice with tennis balls. Ex. Pelé.
Tempcore
Pretty much all players have at some point used tennis or pingpong balls, it's common practice even in serious youth teams
ErinFromTheOffice
seriously, puck that shit
DarthAidan
Yeah, I have a hard enough time with bright orange pucks.
TraitorousTrump3
And awesome.
pezzle
Psh... i practiced with see through pucks.
NateintheNorth
"See-through" is one of my irrational pet peeves. We're adults, you can say transparent or translucent. Irks me.
moikejay
Nobody knows you're an adult on the internet
Steady
In all seriousness, we used to practice with ping pong or tennis balls to enhance our hand-eye coordination/stick-handling
EvilEkips
I used to keep-up tennis balls (as in, juggle with my feet) and keep them under my desk to get better football feet control.
FireUpTheCloudCarLando
And yet I have the strange and sudden urge to buy them.
ithoughtitwasoriginal
What they don't show you is them hitting themselves in the head with a wooden board to make them crazy enough to be a tendy in the 1st place

I loved playing goalie as a kid :|
Unsupervisedadult
My son is a lacrosse goalie. I was afraid he would quit all together but he loves playing goalie. Sick twisted little weirdo
FlyingShaman
Speaking as a former lacrosse goalie; yup, all of us are a bit twisted. Pretty bruises though
Unsupervisedadult
When we moved and he asked to play goalie on the new team you could see the look of relief on the previous goalie's face.
lykkebroer
In my experience, being from Quebec helps in that department too... Met a lot of hockeyplayers, the Quebecois were ALL a bit 'different'.
ithoughtitwasoriginal
One of my groomsmen is my Junior B goalie. He's....fun
lykkebroer
But more I'm-sure-that's-illegal-in-some-western-countries-fun than let's-watch-funny-movies-and-eat-lots-of-popcorn-fun?
klynda
Hey some of us got it honest and started after taking a puck to the head sans helmet.
DeeRockNRoll
Found the Canadian
klynda
LOL, I'm from The South.
klynda
But, I wish, J Trudeau is dreamy... Plus, you know, most of the people are nice and not crazy muricans.
Stelmacki
I guess most of the nice ones just stay in Canada? I live in MI and most of the Canadians I've met act the same way that you hear (1/2)
Stelmacki
People complaining about Americans act. (2/2)
DoctorSnakebeast
Was expecting a joke at some point, but nope! Just informative hockey gifs
GondolinoPeddleSki

Nah man, Kessel isn't a goalie.
GreasyPicadillo
Lol my brother and his friends call him "Pepsi Phil"
icelandicsealbear
Funny but we get all the good Canadian players
amishcannoli
America has some pretty solid hockey, yo.
tzxAzrael
sure but it's america. as a canadian, it'd be like passing up a chance to tease your brother.

You speak fair truth, country that's our nation's hat.

NHL95 on SNES had a bug where it would not record a shot if you never press the shoot button. So if you stickhandle the puck into the net
mikeatike
it would record a goal but not a shot. Teemu was the king of no-shot-goals.

Apparently there is an older show called "The Corner" based on a book by the same writers. Hoping to watch it soon if I can track it down.

Can't wait to check out the corner. I thought the wire was so well done
