There's actually quite a few guys in the league like this. I remember watching Dallas and several of their players had what amount to a single strip of tape at the top of their twigs. You should peep Pastrnak and his tape job on his twig. Absolutely the laziest, most legendary tape job.
I don’t think cutting the top part of the tongue is that weird, it’s the small piece that gets tucked under shin pad or sock. Kinda makes sense to cut it and have less bulk and no binding
The top of the tongue doesn't offer power, support and comfort though. It's like when people flop their skates that top portion doesn't do much but flop there. I'm surprised they can't just make him shorter tongues.
To be fair... last time i was playing i tough why am i tapeing my stick.... becouse middle of the stick has better grip on it. The new sticks dont really need tape.
i understand cutting the tongue of the skate. This skate is actually a little on the high side compared to some other skates. And sometime the shin pad gets in the way with the skate. The butt end not having any nob tells me aggressive poke checking is just not in his game play. Stick would go flying for me.
How does restricting your ankle movement improve your skating? Power, support, comfort? Do track shoes have high tongues? Sometimes history isn't always correct.
“It literally looks like he just took scissors and cut it off” Lmao that’s how he did it yeah. Now that he’s gone prof he hires someone else to pre cut them for him, pretty cool tbh
I hates the tongue of my skates, all i need was my heel locked in and all my speed comes from, my skates not movng and my ball behind my toes. The tongue always got in the way of my shin guards, i use to cut my shin guards. No one makes it but I would love a low cut skates with ankle move abilities
A kid in my highschool hockey team in MN didn’t tape his knob and he got hit and the stick stabbed him in the arm pit all the way through, he missed an artery by millimeters. It is now a requirement here to have a knob or to tape a knob on your stick.
Too lazy to tape his stick is CRAZY
He could pay someone to do it 😭
That caught me off guard too.. I be like “ really”?

@@darksaga80 yeah hey, alright I’ll give that a peep.. i have looked around a bit since and yeah it’s cool shit how some of these dudes tape the twig…
😂
The Bertuzzi butt end is practically a hazard with him wielding it
Not gonna talk about how brad Marchand spray painted one of his gloves gold and cuts off the cuff of his gloves?
We’re not gunna talk about how much of a douche he is?
@@OkieOutdoorsTV true he does lick people every once and a while
Evidently not
Everyone cuts the cuff off
i’m pretty sure kaprizov cuts up his gloves pretty good too lol
Love the shorties nasher, keep
Them coming .. hoping to see the new twig in action soon.
Don’t forget kaprizov cuts the inner cuffs off his gloves too
yeah he wants his wrists and ankles to have room to move. He can get tighter turns and move his stick more freely
That’s cause he DOES USE SCISSORS 😂
I was hoping someone would say it
Andrie Kuzmenko: his tape job is so weird
Krill rocking the goalie skates
Sticks now have grip. Back in the day the wood had no grip, hence the tape. I think tape is gonna eventually stop being used
I've been cutting my skates since I was 12, I'm now 42. It helps when kneeling down to block shots. I'm actually surprised more guys don't do it.
Kaprizov = Goat. Love the shorts Nasher keep it up.
Kaprisov overrated
Bertuzzi is too busy tightening his skates that he keeps tripping on 😂😂😂😂
Considering how nimble and speedy Kap is I wouldn't be surprised if we saw a bunch of kids cutting off the tongue of their skates
I was told by a very good coach, not to use the top loop on my kids skates, and he's right, he skates a lot better.
this is the funniest video i have seen all day 😂😂😂
I don’t think cutting the top part of the tongue is that weird, it’s the small piece that gets tucked under shin pad or sock. Kinda makes sense to cut it and have less bulk and no binding
Krill thats my guy I’m a proud Minnesotan😂.
Has Bertuzzi always done that????
Ryan o rielly with the most insane stick blade in the league.
Keeping the stick like that (at least in my country) is actually illegal so if he ever were to get checked hed get 2 mins
As a wild fan, Kaprizov is insane.
I think kaprizov played bandy and most bandy players cut of their tounge. Its a pretty big sport i Sweden and Russia
Bert can do whatever he wants he was the best till he got traded😢
I've used the knobless stick since the dawn of the one piece. The tape tears the palms of the gloves apart
*Russian Accent* "Kaprizov is from Syberia, Kaprizov no need comfort to put puck in net"
Omg bro you were right we weren’t ready!!! That’s so wild that he cuts a part of his skate. So crazy
fr great tape job
I think the Red Wings made a good move but still sad seeing Bert go.
Minnesota is my favorite team
I thought I was watching Kevin O’Connel for a second
Im a goalie and I don’t have a knob at the end of my stick, I just don’t feel like putting tape on (I lose my stick when pocking sometimes)
Two of the six sticks in the Bert photo have tape wraps on the end.
Butt end on bertuzzi is crazy
My teammate got stitches from Bertuzzi’s knob
What's funny about that?🍰🍰🍰
K97 cuts off the tongue of his skates because as a kid he did a lot of figure skating and power skating.
Bertuzzi is definitely on something, dude’s so deranged 🤣
Kaprizov also cuts of the cuffs of his gloves
That sounds like something Brad Marchand would do
No cap or tape....thats how you get an instant core sample!
No tongue, no knob, no problem!
The top of the tongue doesn't offer power, support and comfort though. It's like when people flop their skates that top portion doesn't do much but flop there. I'm surprised they can't just make him shorter tongues.
That defenseman in the 90s Ludwig used to have crazy wide shin pads to block shots like ridiculously wide
New sticks come with so much tacky grip on it a handle on it makes it less grippy if anything
We miss you, Bertuzzi
Nasher's hairline is making a hasty retreat
Go and check out the John LecLair curve on his stick back in the 90's. Can't believe he made multiple 50 goal seasons with that monstrosity. :D
Kaprisov removed the thong and Perron removed the heel protector
Not going to talk about ryan o'rielly's blade curve lol
The best plan is the plan that works for you.
I dont tape the knob of my stick either 😅😂
Martin frk cuts the cuffs of his gloves
What kaprizov does with his skates is very common in bandy
Look at Mark Stones knob! The complete opposite of Bertuzzi
Kaprizovs skates look like goalie skates but just short
i mean i never taped the end of my stick till the end of my career 😭😭
Thats the answer to all the players .. if you can play .. you can play
To be fair... last time i was playing i tough why am i tapeing my stick.... becouse middle of the stick has better grip on it. The new sticks dont really need tape.
As a goalie no knob bothers me
I personally hate the feeling of knob tape
Kirill's skates look more like goalie skates! Wonder how gloves Bert blows through, too lol.
bert’s a weird guy😂
I got stitches on my finger from playing with a stick like that
Let’s grow out the lettuce bud, I can see you’ve been growing the flow so let’s grow it all the way baby
The first one is for more agillity
That’s dangerous, he need to put the cap on or tape it
I don't tape my sticks either.
Bertuzzi raw doggin it is awesome
i understand cutting the tongue of the skate. This skate is actually a little on the high side compared to some other skates. And sometime the shin pad gets in the way with the skate.
The butt end not having any nob tells me aggressive poke checking is just not in his game play. Stick would go flying for me.
I'm surprised that they allow Tyler to play with that stick, since I remember when I played hockey they made everyone have a but for the stick
Just throwing it out there, I didn’t use a butt in my stick and it took the tip of my finger off. 30 stitches later and now I have a clubbed pinky
They don’t call them the wild for nothing
For the stick the no job prob makes it extra light
oshie cuts his collar out
There's a reason why he doesn't score much I suppose. Also Marchand uses the same gloves and spray paints them
Do weirdest tape jobs please
Ngl cutting your skate tounge was common growing up but I was never a skater just saw a lot of people doing it
How does restricting your ankle movement improve your skating? Power, support, comfort? Do track shoes have high tongues? Sometimes history isn't always correct.
Leon draisaitl’s stick blade
I’m pretty sure it’s illegal to have no but tend on a stick
The bertuzzi but end should be illegal
Wow I thought I was the only one who didn't tape my stick handle
Crosby has been using the same jock strap since he was my age (15yo)
Honorable mention is Brad Marchand spray painting his ratty gloves gold that clearly didn’t match Bs gold for the winter classic.
Bro as a hockey player, just looking at the skate without the tongue hurt me on the inside
I do no tape at all not even on the blade I just put a small half knob at the top also no buttend
“It literally looks like he just took scissors and cut it off”
Lmao that’s how he did it yeah. Now that he’s gone prof he hires someone else to pre cut them for him, pretty cool tbh
Slaf doesn’t tap his stick either
Dude, not having a buttend is just insane 😂
Why? I never use one either
Krill is my favorite player
Hurts alot more when you're speared by that butt end as well
i heard the commentator live say the exact samwe thing
Bro, I love krill
FILIP HRONEK doesnt play with tape on the blade lol
oreilly has a messed up curve
Don't question Kirilliam
I hates the tongue of my skates, all i need was my heel locked in and all my speed comes from, my skates not movng and my ball behind my toes. The tongue always got in the way of my shin guards, i use to cut my shin guards. No one makes it but I would love a low cut skates with ankle move abilities
Nylander’s spray painted sticks
Guess you haven’t heard about Connors Holy socks 😂
With new tacky grip sticks i mean it doesnt matter too much.
A kid in my highschool hockey team in MN didn’t tape his knob and he got hit and the stick stabbed him in the arm pit all the way through, he missed an artery by millimeters. It is now a requirement here to have a knob or to tape a knob on your stick.
I was watching kirill when nasher comes in and says he cuts the toung of his skates I had to blink
