Regarding the headshots, from what I remember he wore his mask without a chin cup so his face was very close to the cage. That's why they were so dangerous for him.
Yeah I'd like to see you take a nhl shot to the neck area. Nearly 0 padding directly under the helmet. You take one there ur collarbone gonna be bruised for a week. Fucking hurts. Neck guards hardly stop it. Only plastic danglers can help really.
as a former goalie myself, i can easily say that getting a puck right to the neck, even with a neckguard, is one of the scariest things that can happen. your throat just instantly swells up, and it feels like you can't swallow, and when you try to? it feels like you just chugged a hot chocolate fresh off the pot without cooling it down. that's with a regular slapshot in a lower tier league... i can't even imagine what it'd feel like taking a weber shot in that area.
In high school we did a drill where the shooters formed a 1/2 circle like 10-20 feet from the net, shooting slappers. I didn't have a throat guard at the time (this was 1983) and after the drill, the coach skates up to me and asks if I ever thought of getting one. If I play again, I won't step back in net--the players don't warm you up properly and the opposing players are a-holes. One guy at the Flyers practice rink took a slapper like 10 ft from the net, catching me in the collarbone. Surprised it didn't break. I told him "Really? I could score from 10 ft with my goalie stick." Idiots.
@@fasteddie9867 yup that’s the worst. Especially on warmups where your own teammates are the assholes! I’ve been hit way to many times up high on warmies and practice. People wait till their almost in the crease and then unload up high.
@@teajay3671the rule is "when a player is injured, and is unable to continue play or go to their bench, play shall be stopped immediately unless the opposing team is in possession of the puck, in which case play shall not be stopped until a change of possesion has occured.

@@Wheelwizardpuff while true, they still called the plays dead *nearly* every other time other than the first play. I figured they just used "refs discretion" as an excuse for it.
After watching this and watching hockey for years, you will never be able to tell me goalies aren't psychopaths. Solid puck being shot at upwards of 100mph and thinking yeah I'll stop that no problem is insane :0
Honestly, most shots really don't hurt that bad. NHL players are generally the only people capable of hurting goalies with hard shots. It's hard to understand that it doesn't really hurt until you put gear on yourself
As a former goalie, seeing the play go on and a goal count 6 seconds after Bishop went down in the first clip pissed me off so much. I would’ve lost it on the ref…
Well the issue is goalies can just fake injuries to get stop in play. I think if they made it so goalie drops ref stops the game then give 2min delay penalty it would be far to blow it dead or treat it like when goalies push the net out on purpose take a pen shot
@@ccink3931 I feel like play should continue but if the opposition scores and the Keeper is still down/struggling, then the goal should be revoked and a penalty called.
I was a medic in Moncton (NB, AHL league) in the 80's - we were watching the teams warm up before the first, the home goalie got hit in the throat (before the protectors were popular) and he drops cold ... doctor calls for the stretcher and 2 of us respond with neck supports and such while the third gets the bus (ambulance) ready. As we are strapping the goalie to the board, I hear a noise over my shoulder as I hear a slapshot ... and the visitors goal (again in warmup) drops. I get the arena security on our radio and that we need a second bus ... thankfully both were ok after xrays at the local hospital and we had a relatively quiet night. Watching these clip vids remind me of soo many of these stories - as an alternate program player (for high school age to get some AHL experience occasionally) and as a medic for the same team and arena.
I played against him in Juniors.. They were our rival team. He was big then and on another level. As much as I wanted to beat him, I wanted to be as good as him.
Hardest shot I've ever faced playing goalie was in the upper 80's from a teammate and let me tell you the fear when I'd see him wind up. I can't imagine the 90s and over 100 mph shots these guys are taking.
Worst one for me was a pretty good clapper to the knee, and I hadn't noticed that my knee pad had slid down... I really thought I'd broken something. I'm still surprised at the force a hockey ball can deliver at times. I remember taking a pretty good one by this one guy who could let it rip, and it hit me dead on the center bar (Cooper SK2000/HM30 combo, mind you), and the thing that surprised me most was that it pushed the helmet against me to the point of my sweatband instantly being wrung out. Nothing quite like sweat in the eyes to make you miss the rebound.. :)
@The Donk That doesn't mean it doesn't take courage to be a goalie as compared to a regular player. Both take a lot of skill, but one is physically putting your body in the way of the hardest hits.
Once it gets around the 90's and up the puck comes in frames. Makes a weird sound too when it hits you. It's terrifying. Guy in my league shot through the mesh once
3:03 Thibault actually catches the Al MacInnis shot. But it was blasted so hard that it broke his hand, went through the glove's webbing, and into the net. That's the kind of thing you tell people and they assume you must be exaggerating.
@@RupMan84 I remember him saying when Chara/Weber broke his record that he'd do way past that with a modern stick in his prime. Al was in another league power wise.
in that first clip, the fact that play wasn't called dead immediately and several seconds later a goal is scored while the goalie is still laying on the ice in clear pain and the goal counted is unbelievable
I've always wondered what Kari Lehtonen could have been if he wasn't drafted by the Thrashers. His first 5 seasons (with Atlanta) were .953, .906, .912, .916, .911. In his NHL career, he has NEVER has a season lower than .900. 649 games. Yet he's not even talked about in conversations about really good goalies.
Ondrej Pavelic as well. Not sure about his numbers but I always seem to remember him facing 40+ shots a game and turning in consistently heroic performances despite the bad teams around him. Chronically underappreciated.
Lehtonen was the goalie for the stars as I was growing up. I loved watching him and I saw him play in the alumni game a few weeks ago - he still looked NHL ready to me!
I love the clip from Jacques Plante’s injury: “a common incurrence” As the crowd boos and the trainer is trying to convince him to stay on ice and a referee is following in the player’s room to see if Plante isn’t faking it to win or lose a bet. Players at that time hired people to bet against them, their teams, or others to win waay more money than the poor salaries they had. Most players at that time had part jobs, Maurice Richard himself was a welder before and during his first years in the NHL.
The night that Maurice Richard got 5 goals & 3 assists - December 28th, 1944 - he spent the whole day moving his family from his old house to a new one, and said he didn't want to play as he didn't think he'd be able to contribute as he was so tired lmao. Can't imagine a player moving their own stuff nowadays, especially the greatest in the league at the time, let alone putting in 5 goals and getting 3 assists as a bonus after doing so.
3:03 The shot that scared the NHL. MacInnis shoots a 104MPH with a wooden stick and broke the middle finger of the goalie. They had to put in a new goalie and the Blues ended up winning and scoring something like 7 goals on the new goalie. I remember that game like it was yesterday.
@@slamsM6 2020 All-Star game held in St. Louis he came back showed he could still do it. He was using a wooden stick then too and he hit it a 100.4MPH at the age of 56. I have no idea how he does it but it amazing.
When I played high school hockey, we had one goalie that for some unknown reason always ONLY wore a "regular" cup and not a goalie's cup. One day at a practice, a guy ripped a shot at him and it actually shattered the cup. Goalie decided to start wearing the proper gear after that one.
Wooden sticks back then, shots weren’t as hard and were hard to elevate to the face area. Especially if the goalie was playing standup (which was the only style back then)
I just had to watch this because I can really relate to some of these injuries. Back when I was in my early twenties and playing ice hockey as a goalie, I was wearing a cheap chest protector that sometimes had a bad habit of sagging, and in one game I took a hard Slap Shot right to the collarbone, and that was the one and only time I had to leave the game because it was not just painful, but it made my entire neck and head go completely numb and my neck felt very stiff and it was extremely painful on top of that.
OUCH! I played between the pipes in gym class and intramurals in college and never had anything that bad. Once took a shot from the coach that glanced off the side of my helmet, no biggie. We goalies are a special breed of cat!
I played goal my entire life, including some pro in Europe and I can tell you that after every single game something was hurt. Practices were even worse because guys have all the time in the world to line up a shot, usually at the head or shoulders.
Oh man!!! In the years that I played between the pipes, I have had both my collar bones broken, 4 fingers broken a few times, 6 masks broken my nose cut from my age and about 40 stitches from shots. I know exactly what it feels like.
8:31 Goalie "Hey I think my arm is broken." Ref "Well can you still play? Your making almost 200 bucks tonight." Goalie "Good point. I'll go have a beer and come back out." Don Cherry "He's a good Canadian kid right there."
The goalie for the level up from me got hurt in his game, so my Dad offered my services. I was 11, and my pads were so old that the pants had wooden sticks for padding. My mask was a plain, white Jason-style mask, and my leg pads were about 1 inch thick. The first shot I took caught me in the chest. I'm pretty sure my heart stopped. I got so dizzy, but of course, it was 1981, so no one cared. The next shot caught me in the toe and flipped me onto my face. We lost the game, but I learned how to deal with pain in one night. Thanks, Dad.
Ever see the chin sling he wears for his mask? It's so loose that it barely seems to serve a purpose. I can't help but imagine that was a factor in the one where he lost some teeth.
We don't play a lot of hockey down here in Australia, but after watching this I tell you what- the only way I'd ever be a goalie is if with all of the standard protective gear they let me use an old times diving helmet. Those shots were BRUTAL.
Those shots are no joke. Playing goalie for a beer league and i remember a guy taking a slapshot at a pretty close range and I managed to glove it. It was so hard that the glove almost flew off my hand. I sometimes take off my pads and end up with huge bruises on my forearms and that's just from beer leagues. Like most people say I can't imagine how crazy some of the bruises that professional NHL goalies get.
The impact of a slapshot to the mask / helmet is intense, but what you rarely hear about is how LOUD the impact is to your ears... it is deafening and adds to the concussive experience... spoken from experience... More often than not, it is the sound that hurts more than the impact.
Never watched a full game of hockey from start to finish, I just watch these highlights of various things happening. I just love how whenever the goalie gets injured the play is immediately stopped and whistle blown but a regular player could get his head knocked off and they let it go
That is the only goal off the top of my head where the goalie caught the puck but couldn't hold it and it still went in because the puck was moving so damn fast.
I remember when I was like 8 or 9 and I was playing goalie for my local team. Got a puck right next the cup protecting my nuts, into the inside of my leg. It shredded my groin muscle
The rule is that if a goalie goes down, play continues until the goalie's team gets possession of the puck. The NHL even made a statement about it when it happened.
I took a one-timer point blank range in a junior game once and the puck actually stuck in my mask for a second. The cage was bent back into my nose and I spent the rest of the game terrified of taking another up high. didn't really hurt me but I couldn't hear for the rest of the night. The funniest part of being a goalie was seeing the outline of where the crease in my pads were on my body b/c of all the bruising. The worst spot for me in my career was a shot off the point of the shoulder or collarbone....feels like you can't move your arm afterwards.
I took a flash knockout on a low 90s clapper, bent my cage about half an inch inwards. The worst shots were always the ones that slid in the little gap between the thigh guard and pants though.
I was playing net in a super casual street hockey game once where I took a nearly frozen street hockey Hall off the cage. It was just a little wrist shot but because the helmet I had was a cheapo Walmart special, the cage rung like I was wearing a church bell on my head lol. Can't imaging the pain of taking a full force NHL level clapper to the dome!
I remember a player taking a hard shot to the chest. It caused some highly concerning temporary (physical) issues, don’t remember the player and what the injury was (although I think I remember a commenter saying ‘his heart skipped a beat’ or something similar to that). Certainly looked bad thouh
I'm not a goalie, but I feel their pain. I played in college and had a few broken toes and taking the skate off after those mother truckers regain feeling really hurts
I can't imagine taking a Weber shot to the head. The shots I take would be barely a fraction of his power, but even so, you can't hear anything for a few minutes. You'd think the hearing bells thing would be a saying or something, but no, it's literally just constant ringing lol.
I remember watching that Weber shot on Crow. He was up pretty close too and hammered Crow off the mask definitely got his bell rung and continued to play after. You can here the Montreal fans booing because they stopped play lol. Crow was a warrior miss him on my Hawks. 2 cups 🏆🏆
The Flyers once had a goalie named Roman Cechmanek who used to steer the puck away with his head on occasion; Flyers announcers began to call it the Cranium Carom.
I used to be a goalie myself back in the day, (No, you've never heard of me), and it's true about the current style goalie masks. They have more protection than the old school helmet and cage. However, I didn't like the new mask, I was too used to my old helmet and cage which drove our old goalie coach crazy.

Leclaire got injured while sitting on the bench the puck is dedicated to breaking him
He also got hurt in the 2015 Stanley Cup finals pulling his groin trying to make a save.

That was a freak thing, if I remember, and be ended up being out for awhile and had a lot of problems from it
@@Absbabs88 it’s crazy how one little thing that practically never happens can happen once and have this much consequences
@@Absbabs88 he finished the game too, and THEN took his leave
Love the videos love ur content this man deserves 1mill subs
Thanks Miso I appreciate it buddy!
@@DeltaHighlights thanks for rplying no one does that but you
why is ben bishop the victim of a lot of these 😂?
Ever see the chin sling he wears for his mask? It's so loose that it barely seems to serve a purpose. I can't help but imagine that was a factor in the one where he lost some teeth.
@@Daymond42 it was at least a factor the second time he lost a front tooth. He stopped wearing it.
We don't play a lot of hockey down here in Australia, but after watching this I tell you what- the only way I'd ever be a goalie is if with all of the standard protective gear they let me use an old times diving helmet. Those shots were BRUTAL.
3:04 Al "Chopper" MacInnis shoots the puck through Jocelyn Thibault's glove, shattering his finger and left him a bloody mess. Watched that one live!
FALSE. It hit the backhand of Thibault's glove as he tried to trap the puck between the left pad and the glove.
@@BillyRamirez that's even worse
Those shots are no joke. Playing goalie for a beer league and i remember a guy taking a slapshot at a pretty close range and I managed to glove it. It was so hard that the glove almost flew off my hand. I sometimes take off my pads and end up with huge bruises on my forearms and that's just from beer leagues. Like most people say I can't imagine how crazy some of the bruises that professional NHL goalies get.
Next video idea... all of Brad Marchand's suspension plays as he's now the record holder for most individual suspensions in a career.
The impact of a slapshot to the mask / helmet is intense, but what you rarely hear about is how LOUD the impact is to your ears... it is deafening and adds to the concussive experience... spoken from experience... More often than not, it is the sound that hurts more than the impact.
true, had a dirt bike crash, bopped my head good, it does blow out the ears
NHL Longest hockey fights

@@DeltaHighlights thx
Never watched a full game of hockey from start to finish, I just watch these highlights of various things happening. I just love how whenever the goalie gets injured the play is immediately stopped and whistle blown but a regular player could get his head knocked off and they let it go
Tgtggy
An Al MacInnis slapshot from 35 feet away? No thank you.
That is the only goal off the top of my head where the goalie caught the puck but couldn't hold it and it still went in because the puck was moving so damn fast.
Its crazy how big the goalies gear have become compared to the past.
Plantes only had a stick & his uniform lmao
As a goalie i need to say this, its now how hard it is, its where it hits
The worst thing about dealing with the after-effects of a headshot is trying to keep yourself from flinching from all the shots that come after.
This should just be called “Weber hurting goalies.”
He's hurt a lot of guys blocking shots also, or his own teammates in front of the net.
I love the commentary. "He took one right in the beak" 😄 Where do these guys come up with this stuff 😄 That phrase is now in my vocabulary.
I remember when I was like 8 or 9 and I was playing goalie for my local team. Got a puck right next the cup protecting my nuts, into the inside of my leg. It shredded my groin muscle
You should do "NHL dangling superstars"!
yea Dmitri Nabokov definitely needed to go off the ice after that one
His name is actually Evgenei Nabokov. Never heard of Dimetri Nabokov....
@@goalscorerlajon Islanders defenseman who played a bit right when Evgeni started coming up.
@@goalscorerlajon A, you spelt it wrong and B, right over your head. the announcer says Dmitri Nabokov instead of Evgeni
i gotta admit, that was a beautiful shot at 0:56
That first goal shouldn’t have counted the ref shoulda stopped the play as soon as he saw Bishop go down
The rule is that if a goalie goes down, play continues until the goalie's team gets possession of the puck. The NHL even made a statement about it when it happened.
@@Sweetness71775 oh I see thank you
@@milesmusic.mp4 No problem.
8:14 That was such an amazing pass. Reminiscent of a through pass in soccer. Don't know that I've ever seen a pass like that in hockey before.
This was a hard video to watch, I don't like to watch people getting hurt.
NHL moments when the crowd was HYPE (loud team chanting and such)
I took a one-timer point blank range in a junior game once and the puck actually stuck in my mask for a second. The cage was bent back into my nose and I spent the rest of the game terrified of taking another up high. didn't really hurt me but I couldn't hear for the rest of the night.
The funniest part of being a goalie was seeing the outline of where the crease in my pads were on my body b/c of all the bruising. The worst spot for me in my career was a shot off the point of the shoulder or collarbone....feels like you can't move your arm afterwards.
new title "NHL Shots That Hurt Ben Bishop"
Wow, the old games without helmets is something else ! 🤯 one of toughest sports ever 💯😤
I took a flash knockout on a low 90s clapper, bent my cage about half an inch inwards. The worst shots were always the ones that slid in the little gap between the thigh guard and pants though.
Imagine being concussed and hearing a baseball organ? Thats gotta be an experience😂
The fact that the ref didn’t blow the whistle with the bishop play he could of been I Carey pr8e or Patrick Roy the guy never gave up
Price I meant
I was playing net in a super casual street hockey game once where I took a nearly frozen street hockey Hall off the cage. It was just a little wrist shot but because the helmet I had was a cheapo Walmart special, the cage rung like I was wearing a church bell on my head lol. Can't imaging the pain of taking a full force NHL level clapper to the dome!
awesome clips
So much respect for anyone that puts those pads on.
I remember a player taking a hard shot to the chest. It caused some highly concerning temporary (physical) issues, don’t remember the player and what the injury was (although I think I remember a commenter saying ‘his heart skipped a beat’ or something similar to that). Certainly looked bad thouh
you are my fav toutuber and the best
goalies today is already insane, but those in the old days with the limited gear is just straight up insanity
I'm not a goalie, but I feel their pain. I played in college and had a few broken toes and taking the skate off after those mother truckers regain feeling really hurts
What wow crazy video there strong shots!!!!!
I can't imagine taking a Weber shot to the head. The shots I take would be barely a fraction of his power, but even so, you can't hear anything for a few minutes. You'd think the hearing bells thing would be a saying or something, but no, it's literally just constant ringing lol.
2:20 bishop lost 3 fucking front teeth!!!! Do you realize how hard front teeth are to remove of they are healthy?? My god
Ngl webers shots are deadly
Lol Lindquist seems to be the one in this video more often than others lol
I'm European and don't watch NHL much, but I have to say: respect for the goalie
Last clip is phenomenal quality for its time.
Damn some of those looked absolutely brutal.
Hey delta I watched your this video when it had 600 views
1:30 Webber's shot was so hard its the only one to lean backwards 🤣
Love ur vids
Wheres the shot Ovi took and broke lehners mask couple weeks ago? I can't find that video anywhere.
what were the Rangers doing putting a supermodel in net at 3:37 ?
I remember watching that Weber shot on Crow. He was up pretty close too and hammered Crow off the mask definitely got his bell rung and continued to play after. You can here the Montreal fans booing because they stopped play lol. Crow was a warrior miss him on my Hawks. 2 cups 🏆🏆
0:06 how this can be goal when goaltender lie on the ground?
If a goalie goes down, the play isn't blown dead until the goalie's team gets possession of the puck.
Been a goalie for 30 plus years. Im on my 3rd knee surgery, deflector broken twice, concussed several times and i would do it all over again!
Considering how tall bishop is you'll think his head would be out of the way, the guy has always been cursed
Could you plz do Goals Scored 1 minute into the Game?
Samurai's of 21 century. Hello from Belgium.
I remember being a catcher and taking a fast ball off the face mask but pucks are a lot smaller, denser, and moving faster
The gear in the bigs is the best and most protective. Still get hurt with the new tech on the sticks. Gotta be crazy to wanna be a goalie.
dude at 3:40, that was an inadvertent stick by Ryan McDonough that let that puck get right into Lunqvist's jaw. what in the world.
5:51 did he just call him Dimitri?
6:37 yahoo oh boy
That a high jump no disrespect tho as a goalie im impressed😮
Did Carlson really injure mrazek twice, in the same spot, but with mrazek on 2 different teams? Oh lord
OMG The goalie was on the ground injured, and the ref continued to play😮😮😮😮😮 0:02
The majority of these shots are ones that hit the clavicle bone, which is gnarly pain.
Weird seeing the first clip not blown dead, as a stars fan, i forget if that goal stood. Cause in the other clips they stop play real quick
The Flyers once had a goalie named Roman Cechmanek who used to steer the puck away with his head on occasion; Flyers announcers began to call it the Cranium Carom.
yeah, always felt that the goalies should wear a bovar type throat guard which is built in to the chestpiece.
I used to be a goalie myself back in the day, (No, you've never heard of me), and it's true about the current style goalie masks. They have more protection than the old school helmet and cage. However, I didn't like the new mask, I was too used to my old helmet and cage which drove our old goalie coach crazy.
