British Guy Reacts To NHL GOALS (That Will Give You Goosebumps)

[@BurgerBoyalt]

Context for each goal 0:15 Pretty much a series clincher for the Avalanche and a hat trick for Mackinnon that sent them to the Western Conference Finals where they won and eventually won the championship 0:55 Auston Matthews’ 60th goal of the year, something that almost nobody does, and the first Maple Leaf (One of the most storied franchises) ever to get 60 goals in a season 1:27 A goal with 5 seconds left that sent the Avalanche (again) to the Western Conference finals where they won but they would come up short in the Finals 2:02 The Ot winner in a game where the Sharks came back from down by 3 with 10 minutes left to win the series 2:31 Another OT winner versus the Capitals biggest rivals to send them to the Conference Finals 3:26 An OT winner versus rivals to send the Rangers to the 2nd round of the playoffs in game 7 3:45 Tied the Stanley Cup Finals series in OT, and a huge goal because the Blues won in 7 games 4:09 Just a regular season goal but a game winner and a crazy goal by Rick Nash none the less 4:32 A game 7 game winner to send the Flames to the 2nd round 4:56 A Stanley Cup Winning goal in front of the home crowd in 2OT, probably the biggest goal on here 5:25 A game tying goal that the Islanders would eventually win in OT to win their first playoff series in 23 years 6:04 A series winner in game 7 that sent the Stars to the Western Conference Final but they would lose in the Stanley Cup Final 6:36 The series clinching goal for the Blackhawks in the Stanley Cup Finals 6:56 A goal that put the Canadiens up 2-0 early in an important game 3 that got the crowd hype 7:21 An OT winner that sent the series to game 7 after the Islanders lost by 8 the game before, but the Islanders would lose Game 7 7:56 A crazy ankle breaker goal that got the crowd hyped for game 2 of the first round 8:18 A 4 on 4 goal that gave the Leafs a 3-2 lead in the game and series but unfortunately they lost the series 8:39 An OT winner that got the wild back into the series after being down in the series 2-0 9:08 A series winner in 2OT that sent the Penguins to the Cup finals where they would win the championship 9:35 A game 7 OT series winner for the Canucks 10:13 A big goal that put the Rangers up by 2 in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals 10:34 A game 7 OT series winner in round 1 for the Wild 10:54 An OT winner that tied the series for the Blue Jackets who were in pursuit of their first playoff series win ever 11:18 An OT winner that won the Blackhawks the Stanley Cup vs my Flyers, again one of the biggest goals on here 11:26 Sidney Crosby’s first goal back from an injury 11:42 An OT winner that put the Rangers up 3-1 in the Eastern Conference Finals and pretty much ended the series

[@poorsonwelles]

omg this is pin-worthy for sure

[@ayekrongee7617]

Thank you, explained beautifully! I was hoping someone could explain why these goals would give hockey fans goosebumps, that they're not just "regular" goals. A lot of them (if not all) are crucial playoff goals. Without context I don't think Mert could understand that.

[@mertsalih]

Amazing mate, thank you so much for taking the time to do this. I really appreciate. Having the context for each goal gives me even more appreciation for every one. Awesome comment!! Thanks again Andrew

[@harjatalonen3467]

You're an MVP 👑

[@miancadonc]

Actually the first goal looked like it would put the series away, but instead the blues came back and won that game in over time. The later avalanche vs blues goal is the actual series winner. I think the reason the first goal gave the video op goosebumps is because the blues has had an excellent comeback and it looked like Mackinnon had simply decided that it wasn't enough with that hell of a goal after the Blues had caught up

[@noodie75]

You should watch Canadian's reaction to the "golden goal" by Crosby for team Canada at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics against team USA. There is a good compilation video of fans across Canada erupting with so much joy and excitement, it gives me goosebumps every time I watch it.

[@commander-fox-q7573]

THIS!! also the video of the NOISE from the city of Vancouver is fantastic with all the boats honking their horns, and the one of Vancouver's reaction too (from a high rise downtown) ! that goal was a once in a lifetime thing, I've never seen Canada come together to celebrate like that. everyone who was alive will always remember where they were that day. wonder what number of Canadian households were watching that day ...

[@Nikki7B]

Agreed. There is also a video of many countries commentators around the world in their languages, covering the goal. It's pretty awesome to hear. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqaqeGyei5anpdU

[@JesusFriedChrist]

The golden goal, scored by Sidney Crosby…..who was passed the puck to by Jarome Iginla of the Calgary Flames. Everyone loves Sid the Kid for that goal. But he would’ve never scored it if Iggy hadn’t made that world class pass to him.

The NHL playoffs are the most exciting time in hockey. I bought tickets to a Leafs / LA game (McSore-Eye game - thanks Wendel) and I got second last row greys in the old Maple Leaf Gardens and I paid for the seat, but never sat in it once. Everyone was standing the whole game. The place was electric.

One of my favorite goal videos ever was Steve Yzerman’s 2OT slap shot laser against the Blues back in the 90’s. I remember being a little kid staying up to watch that game with my dad and we both just lost it. The PING off the crossbar and down was so loud, and the place went absolutely bananas.

[@YurikRoss]

Fun fact. The last goal scorer at the end of the video is now the coach of the team he scored on 🤣

[@IndependentLogos]

Playoffs are a whole another level of intensity. The closer to the end of the playoffs / a series the better the atmosphere. You wouldn't get that in a regular season game unfortunately. Enjoying the reactions

[@Jake-rv8td]

Just a little extra info: You were wondering if the atmosphere is always like this with the fans and the celebrations, or if these were just important/playoff games. Well, an NHL team plays 82 games in one season (Edit: not including playoffs). I went to a Carolina Hurricanes game on a Thursday night in the middle of the season against a non-conference team and the arena was packed. It was just as loud as a Saturday night game against a rival team. The energy is always there. It's easily my favorite sport.

[@dxannh8704]

Been watching hockey my whole life and like most Canadians of my generation, I have a cousin who played for the NHL ;) ... I watched with my grandmother, my parents, my boyfriends, my husband and my baby girls! Seeing our sport through Mert's eyes has helped me remember that it truly is "the best game you can name"!

[@svntn]

i’ve been to about 20~ playoffs games at the Bell Center in Montréal and the atmosphere in the arena is ELECTRIC. we won in the last few seconds of the OT once and I thought the celling was going to fall on our head🥴

[@coreyharrison208]

The Crosby goal at 11:27 is after he missed a year and a half due to a concussion. People feared he would not be the same player he had been prior to the injury but he came out and scored 2 goals and had 2 assists reaffirming he was still arguably the best player at the time.

[@jameswalter-ny5ms]

You should check out some of Peter Forsberg’s highlights, the guy was an absolute beast

[@danbaker300]

Most of these are playoff game- or series-winning goals. The NHL playoffs are four rounds, each round a best-of-7 series. And there's no shootout in the playoffs; you keep playing overtime periods until somebody scores, even if it takes four or five OT periods. Game 7 OT is especially intense, because the next goal ends the season for somebody. I haven't been to many NHL games, and no playoff games, but I got to go to the 2007 NCAA hockey championship, in which my school scored the game-winning goal with 0:19 left on the clock. I could barely speak for three days afterward.

[@GhostlyGuardian]

I’ve been to a memorial cup game. That cup is played in the CHL, composed of 3 hockey leagues. The OHL, WHL, and the QMJHL. Those games also go pretty nuts and there are lots of NHL scouts. I’ve been a part of my home team’s memorial cup run at my home town. It was astatic to say the least. Excitement everywhere and a thrilling hockey game.

[@steffenweidlich8698]

I'm german and NHL fan since the early 80s. At that time I had two VHS tapes with three games in a horrible quality and a few Sports Illustrated articles. In February 1987 I spent all my money (I was twenty years old that time 🙂) and travel to Quebec City to the "Rendez Vous 87". Two games between the NHL Allstars and the Soviet Team. 36 years ago last month but a week I will never forget. Hockey is the best Sport.

I live in New England now, but I'm from New York City area.

[@darrenplett2647]

I've been fortunate enough to go to a couple of Calgary Flames playoff wins....let me tell you, the old Saddledome is a wild place to be in the playoffs. Win or lose, you can't hear someone talking right beside you and the next day it feels like you were at a metal concert. And the unique thing about Calgary specifically is that the fans call themselves the "C of Red" due to the fact that nearly every fan in the building is rocking a Flames jersey. Sports playoffs are all awesome, but hockey playoffs are something special.

[@ohsnapitysnapz]

im suprised the Sedin Twins final goal in the league wasnt in this, Identical twins played their whole career beside eachother on the same team, and a pass from one to the other for a OT goal in there last Home game infront of the fans was something very special

[@bebedenham362]

Truly, hockey players have dedication and love of playing with that air of almost disrespectful respect for hockey and each other, mostly. Their fans are undyingly loyal and invested in their team & games, the crowd reaction in these highlights is a bit more raucous because these are play off games . I dated a player on the Pittsburgh Penguins squad (first line player even!) for a couple years back during their Stanley Cup winning run , I will not name drop, but he lead me to attending my very first game at the arena. Absolute sensory overload, an atmosphere unlike any other I had ever experienced, the energy of millions of the happenings all around you, trying to follow the puck while cheering/reacting and hopping around like a child on Christmas morning , so electric and frenetic to not be completely absorbed to the point of forgetting anything else exists. i was buried by that in the best way. Also I was somewhat overcome the realization that I hadn't felt the pure childlike exuberance and wonder that sadly stays with childhood .Everything especially the palpable and heartwarming sense of genuine Camaraderie with the fans. You should trek from the east to Canada or the US for the experience, during playoffs if possible. :) I think you'd more than enjoy it :)

[@cheddarandsourcream]

Love these KZbinrs that react to my favourite sport knowing nothing about it going in. All of them are almost instantly mesmerized by what they’re seeing.

[@Mabus_Incarnate]

I'm a Detroit fan, since the 80s, but i've visited about 20 NHL arenas in my life for games. When it's a division game, or just a packed house, the games are electric with a great atmosphere. One of the loudest I ever went to, to my shock, was a game in Nasvhille, Tennessee. I wasn't expecting much from a home crowd in the South, but it felt like a playoff game in the middle of the season, it was insane and a blast, fans were so into it all game.

[@shjoka1212911]

Man I was at the game Matthew’s got his 60th what a great moment I’ll never forget it

[@TheHouZeR88]

I think most of these goals are in playoff scenarios, so the energy in the Arena is extra intense. But i will say, even a regular season game, the energy in a hockey arena unmatched, every single fan is 100% invested and you can absolutely feel it. Also, being an Ottawa fan, seeing that Kunitz goal again was painful.

[@TheMur28]

Fellow Sens fan here. While that goal will never stop hurting, we can start properly healing from it when it isn’t our last playoff memory. Hopefully next year. Also, the day after that game was the mentally hardest shift I’ve worked. I’ve worked after finding out that a friend died, after losing long time pets, during and after relationships fell apart. But I’m a bit of a social vampire; if life is tough on my end but everyone else around me is in a good mood I’ll be fine. The day after that game the whole city just felt wrong, and everyone was at least a bit sad. Even though I was fine coming in to that shift (definitely better than any of the other days mentioned above), I kind of just absorbed everyone else’s sorrow.

[@prescription_7]

I've been to dozens and dozens of live NHL games. Regular season atmosphere is usually pretty quiet until the home team scores. That will last for about 30 seconds and then you can hear a pin drop. Playoffs however is a whole different beast. Absolute madness start to finish. If you find yourself traveling to North America to watch a game, make sure it's a playoff game.

[@Kitties.and.Kitbashes]

When I was growing up, I never really paid much attention to hockey. I would watch a game on TV every now and then, but I didn't follow it or have a favourite team. Years later, I was living in Ottawa and got the opportunity to go to an NHL game in person for the first time, to see the Ottawa Senators in their last game of the season. Now, the Sens were an expansion team and had only been around for about four years or so at this point, and had been stuck in last place the entire time. However, things changed for the 96-97 season. For the first time in modern history, the Sens had a chance to go to the playoffs. But to do so, they *had* to win the last game of the season. The one I was at. To say that the atmosphere was electric is a gross understatement. I've never experienced anything like it. With the score tied at zero and about four minutes left in the game, Steve Duchesne scored. It was so loud that it apparently set off the seismic detectors at the university some 25 km away. Suddenly I was a hockey fan and had a favourite team. The goal: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZrNgHSDpb95h6M

[@nfbuckeye]

In general, hockey crowds are always great, but the playoffs are another level. I don’t care what anybody says, the Stanley Cup Playoffs are the most intense, enthralling event in sports. Nothing else like it.

[@FarashaSilver]

The most exciting hockey game I ever went to was the Winter Classic in January 2020. It's an annual game held outdoors on Jan 1 and that year it was Dallas vs Nashville at the Cotton Bowl. Dallas went down 2-0 early in the game, and then came back to win 2-4. When Alex Radulov scored to make it 2-3 we blew the roof off that place and there wasn't even a roof. Most electric crowd I've ever been in.

[@prestigeworldwide5239]

In the 2018-2019 season, the St. Louis Blues went from worst to first. In the middle of the season, they fired and replaced their coach and brought up a new goalie from the minors. During the finals with Boston, when the Blues were away, the stadium would have a "watch party". We went to 2. During the 7th and final game in Boston, both the Enterprise Center AND Busch Stadium (MLB Cardinals stadium) had watch parties. No city had ever done that before and it was ELECTRIC! We were in Busch Stadium, in the rain, watching them win their first Stanley Cup. It was insane! People from Busch walked up to Enterprise and vice versa, high-fiving, hollering and whistling, fist bumping. The fountains ran blue in towns miles away in Illinois. There are videos on YT of the Busch Stadium experience including the 3 minute walk up to Enterprise Center (home ice).

The goal for the Vancouver Canucks at 9:35 was a huge one versus a play off rival at the time in the Chicago Blackhawks and also the defending Stanley cup champions from the previous season. We exorcised our playoff demons versus the Blackhawks and went on a great run to the final ourself. Unfortunately, the Canucks came up just short in game 7 of the finals.

[@YurikRoss]

In case you didnt know already. Most of these goals were in the Series/Playoff where teams plays best of 7 series based on the season standing until 2 reach the final. Its one of the best time for Hockey where for around 2 months the best teams plays the most intense hockey possible

[@Rex73777]

[@briansmith6791]

If team wearing coloured jersey, it is the home areana, so that alters the fan reactions, if their team looses or wins. Hearing damage can occur at prolonged exposure (1 hour) at 60 decibels and immediate at 120 decibels. They measure it during playoffs - the game I was at, 80 decibels during game (3 hours), and 112 when a goal was scored! Was wild and worth the hearing loss! Additionally, the shape of areana and seats, being on the ice actually has a percussive effect on the players. The sound of a goal reverberates through their chests! They can't hear whistles, yelling...is pure madness.

[@sledbc]

Depending on the match up you can get these reactions mid season. Calgary is one of the most wild arenas they have flame throwers that go off after each goal and you can feel the heat in the stands. Look up hockey's best "Michigan goals" they will blow your mind 🤘

[@Hidious10]

A little context my friend: Hockey is played over an 82 games season. You will rarely see such huge reactions from a season game. The real magic happens in the playoffs. The atmosphere is a lot more tense, the game is faster, tougher, and every single goal is huge. You know how in soccer and most other team sports, a team can get lucky in a single game and beat a better team on a particular day? There is no such thing in hockey as you have to beat the same team 4 times in a best of 7 series to go to the next round. And you have to do that 4 times (beat 4 different teams) to win the ultimate prize, the Stanley Cup. It's crazy.

[@evananderson5541]

I'm a Canucks fan, so I naturally love the dragonslayer Burrows goal. But the Alec Martinez overtime goal tops it by far. Electric atmosphere!

[@alexcarpenter1824]

this atmosphere is common but definitely gets ramped up during the playoffs. the reason its so loud is we are inside of a dome/building rather then NFL or soccer which is outside even though they get more fans at the games then NHL

[@helmutvogel901]

In the NHL, they play 3 games a week, around 80 on the year, not sure what they are at these days. Then 16 teams start the playoffs, playing best of seven series. So, to win the Stanley Cup, a team has to win 4 series, all of them best of seven. And no tied games allowed, all go to overtime, and STAY in full teams, overtime. Probably the hardest trophy to win, and one of, if not the, oldest trophies as well (over 100 years)

[@gabby127_]

You’ve got to understand about the Kuznetsov goal… the Caps had a history of getting knocked out of the playoffs by the Pens. When the guy said “The demons have been exorcized!” that’s what he was talking about. The got past the Pens and went on to win the Cup. I’m getting choked up remembering it. Winning that game was -almost- better than winning the Cup. Almost.

[@Teddybaer06]

I’ve been to a few games, and they were exciting to say the least, when the home team scored you thought it was a rock concert

[@ironseguin9838]

To answer your question, being there during a playoff game is absolutely bonkers. I was there for game 7 where Alex Burrows fired that shot with to win in overtime shown at 9:35 of the video. For some extra context, Vancouver was up 3-0 in their best of 7 games series against Chicago, a team who had thoroughly dominated the Canucks the previous two years in the playoffs when they met. The Canucks went from in firm control of that series to playing a 7th game and that goal was in overtime to boot. A few minutes prior, the same player who scored to win had taken a penalty and Vancouver fans were collectively clenching their ass cheeks lol. As you saw, the Canucks won and there is an iconic call of that goal. If you want to listen, look for John Shorthouse’s call of the goal, that goal is forever known as the “Dragon Slayer.” When that goal went in, it’s just an expression but the roof came off the building. We were yelling, cheering, and that was probably the happiest I’ve been as a fan of the team. I’ve been to many games but none have ever had the same level of atmosphere as that one did. If you ever can, get to a playoff game..... they are an experience to say the least.

[@ellamiller8314]

4:57 This was the2014 Stanley cup final. Kings vs Rangers in 2ot. The kings were down 3-0 in a previous series against San Jose in the playoffs.

in the 09-10 season playoffs, the habs first beat the caps, then the penguins. i was at the bell centre for game 7 against the pens, even though it was an away game. arena sold out, game projected on the jumbotron. one big viewing party with the atmosphere of a real playoff game. electric. we won that game and went on to play the flyers, and i got laryngitis and lost my voice for several days lol

[@darthollpheist1156]

It's basically that atmosphere all the time. Watch some of the bigger Flyers games. They have the most off the wall fans. It's great. There's a pic out there of a guy getting choked out for wearing a Devils jersey. You should see them when they win a big game. They suck now but you NEED to watch the 2012 Flyers vs Penguins series. All 6 games. NEED TO!!!

I've been to a few detroit redwings games and I've also been to some Toronto FC matches. Hockey and soccer crowds are very similar in intensity. While soccer crowds are larger, hockey crowds are much more densely contained and indoors. I'll be honest though, soccer crowds are more fun throughout the game with chants and drumming and smoke and all that, but a hockey crowd at explosive moments is like nothing you have ever experienced. Toronto FC fans are awesome to leave the stadium with too.

I've been to many hockeygames, and the best were between the Edmonton Oilers & the Calgary Flames in the mid 80's. Fuhr, Gretzky, Coffey, Messier, Andersson &Kurri...it was 12:52 Unbelievable!

Went to a Pens game when they played against the Blue jackets when they closed the door on them in the series was an amazing atmosphere in PPG Paints arena! Also was the year the Pens won the 2nd Stanley cup in a row!

I hope as a Canadian, you and your family come to Canada. ❤ If you do, pick your team and when the playoffs are on, go in person to support your team, and enjoy the atmosphere with fellow fans! You'll love it!

It's a wrister or wrist-shot. The things on the ice are hats. If a player scores three goals in a game all the fans of that team throw their hats on the ice. The guy signs it and they get them back signed. (You put your name on the inside tag to get it back)

[@helmutvogel901]

What's important to understand is how the playoffs work. Top 16 teams, 8 in the Eastern Conference, 8 in the West. There are 4 series in each conference, all series throughout the playoffs are best 4 of 7. So in order to win the Stanley Cup, a team has to win 4 straight series. And there are NO shootouts in the playoffs, they keep playing 20 minute periods until somebody scores. (I have watched games that went 3 OT periods!) So ANY OT goal in any series in the playoffs is major. And, of course, if it is the home team scoring the OT goal, you can expect the roof to come off the building, especially if it is in Canada!!

When they said welcome back Sid, he had been out for over a year with a bad concussion.

The Speed on the Ice is Crazy!

[@timp.7795]

Dude, you HAVE to go to a hockey game. Playoffs and rivalries are best of course, but any game, any teams, it'll be a good time. The atmosphere in the arenas are insane.

[@2RGGrannyJeff]

You have to see a game in person. These were all huge goals of course, but you still get those huge roars from the crowd on goals, big hits, etc.. Playoff hockey is the best. Everyone giving 110% every night. Especially first games of first round. You should pick a team (Rangers, lol) and watch some games in the playoffs. Awesome stuff.

[@greenoatmealandham]

was actually very recently at the bruins v blackhawks game and the crowd there was absolutely insane! the blackhawks beat the bruins 6-3 at home and the entire stadium was going wild with every goal scored

[@tyler8901]

The Avs ones from last season give me goosebumps go Avs!!

[@mannaizz8168]

I haven’t been to game that had a goal reaction like these. But I did go to 2 Flyers v Capitals game back in the day at USAir arena The Philadelphia fans would come down in 4 or 5 charter buses (coaches I believe you would say) for a couple hours ride down, drinking the whole way. Philadelphia fans are known to be rowdy. I saw an entire section of fans in the arena get kicked out for fighting. Not like that anymore but I think as a British “Football” fan you can relate

[@brownsupahero]

The playoffs is the best thing to come out for franchise sports pyramid.

[@crimiusXIII]

There's hockey, and then there's playoff hockey. Best of 7 matches per round, leading to Conference Finals, then the Stanley Cup Finals. Teams do trade shuffles and contract shenanigans to get as stacked as possible, leading to the best hockey ever. Playoffs and the Cup Finals are a religion unto themselves.

[@tb4744]

I think it’s safe to say that you are now a fan of ice hockey. Welcome to the family. 🇨🇦

[@jonnych1839]

during the regular season the atmosphere can electric, but the playoffs fan atmosphere is the best.

[@yomaster8864]

Every game has the same incredible atmosphere, I think the Chicago Blackhawks arena has the best atmosphere but that’s just cause they are my favorite team. I also went to a blackhawks game last february, the hawks lost the game but it was a close game and the building atmosphere was electric.
