5:03 say hello to Hasek for me

[@KaneVanGate38]

I think my cameraman got more footage of the Dominator than he did of me! I actually made 10x the saves that you see in this video

[@PavelBarber]

Fire him. You're the real talent.

[@fbandoo]

Pavel Barber you faker

[@bukes1168]

Fletcher cleary shut the f**k up go on his profile you'll see it's not fake

[@fbandoo]

Hockey Kid ya i made i mistake i did not see the check mark beside him and you are a kid i don’t think you should be swearing. oh and it is probably past your bed time so you should get mommy to sing you a lullaby and grab your teddy bear and go to sleep

[@fine3807]

this dude is hilarious, I cant tell if he is trying to be funny or not 😂

[@potatoplays7429]

Cheesy Unicorn same lol

[@mitchhorner3583]

Cheesy Unicorn it seems like it is a parody

[@lilwoodiewood3457]

He's acting so of course he Is

[@wildchicenmuts3198]

It’s so true

[@ReeseChown]

"I had the best set-up, but ehh... good luck to those guys" 😂

[@ryanwallace1511]

You have talent buddy. From what I saw you killed it. I feel big things coming to you man.

[@KaneVanGate38]

Thanks dude

[@_danyiel]

I'm actually sad you didn't make it, you're really great though man, another opportunity will show up eventually

[@KaneVanGate38]

Daniel Guo thanks buddy. Hopefully sooner than later.

[@Coach_Shiner]

Kane Van Gate they made a mistake not picking you.

[@dansundt2549]

Yay a big mistake

[@elicolton732]

I don’t think he lives in Florida

[@rphilliy6668]

The reason why he didn't win is because they already knew how he was famous and he was already going to be drafted one day

[@coleoley1912]

R philliy66 he likely won't get drafted becuz of his age but he will probably get signed, he's the best goalie on youtube

[@KaneVanGate38]

Thanks Coleoley

[@KaneVanGate38]

I don't know...the other 2 guys had a pretty good tryout. Gotta give them credit because they deserved it

[@coleoley1912]

This wasn't even like a big break to make the chel it was just for a practice so you'll get ur break enventually

[@rphilliy6668]

Kane Van Gate you are one of my favorite hockey youtubers because you r a goalie and I am to. And you are a Blues fan so you get even more credit. Keep it up kaner

[@darkjedikid]

Those pads were pretty sweet, probably one of the better looking sets out there...that blank white mask is probably why you didn't get one the call though, let's be real. If you had your new paint job on it like you do now it would have been a whole different story.

[@KaneVanGate38]

Brett Freeth I completely agree

[@itswings1543]

kane you shoulda post it in 2015 when it happened

[@coolkid-fl1kn]

ItsWings he did

[@KaneVanGate38]

It was up on a different channel...had to pull it out of the BHL Vault for the fans

[@itswings1543]

Omg KVG 38 responded

[@zackborukhin773]

Kane, honestly thats kinda understandable

[@toddrothrauff9867]

I

[@outdoorswithsullyy]

6:44 the guy above Dustin what is that mask

[@skittzo29]

That was Debones. He is now the preds ebug

[@coachJoe-wj1ob]

Kane, you’re freakin’ unreal in net! Not sure what else you could have done out there . You were a calm, poised, positionally sound and an absolute wall. So much competition too. Keep up the great work and thanks for posting

[@UltimateHockeyFanCave]

would have been awesome if you made it, but some of those BHL championships may not have happened. =0

[@KaneVanGate38]

believe it or not, we lost in 2015. But stacked a couple tees in 2016 & 2017!!

[@peperoni3078]

I wish I could go back 10 years to choose hockey over any other sport, really regret it all

[@KaneVanGate38]

If I could go back 10 years I would choose hockey too

[@dustinalexander157]

Kane Van Gate same here. Didn't interest me in school but seriously grew on me after that. If ai could go back 10 years I'd invest in bitcoin and gamble on hockey games 👌

[@domegoz1426]

me to exactly fuck

[@yaboychris8585]

Peperoni307 hahah I feel bad for only Kane I played hockey all my life

[@hiddenknowledge2012]

I wish Ice Hockey was available to actually play where I live. One ice rink nearby and it's a curling rink, no hockey allowed, no sticks or pucks, no goals. Nearest arena is the same. Fucking sucks.

[@eli-wm2bl]

Kings emergency goalie 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

[@spaghettigang835]

I am so happy to found a KZbin Goalie That Catches with right and blocks with left 😂

[@Eternalknight27]

You deserve it bro you'll get another chance jus be positive

[@aidandougherty9314]

I love how Dustin smith is now a KZbinr now, his name on yt is bonesy

[@andrewfort1828]

Little did you know pageviews was right behind on the ice 😂

[@KaneVanGate38]

Andrew Fort haha! Wish I would've had a chance to get the pres on camera with me

[@LinusAndKiba]

"Through my connections with the BHLPA" fuckin broke me 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@omenfortnite3689]

HOW DID YOU NOT GET PICKED KVG!!

[@jefflarmer3239]

2 years later

[@rxymond317]

5:03 looks like Carey Price ahaha love that

[@irishhockey2181]

Nice to see all of Florida’s audience was there to cheer you on!

[@bionicnarwhal7709]

Only real fans saw the original video when it was first posted

[@justhurst99]

BionicNarwhal yeah that's me

[@KaneVanGate38]

i love all my fans but especially the ones that have been around since the early days of my KZbin career

[@hockeybadger7916]

BionicNarwhal that's me

[@fluryy307]

BionicNarwhal I did

[@verifieduser6332]

BionicNarwhal exactly

[@omenfortnite3689]

YOU LOOKED THE MOST SOLID IN THE NET

[@ronitnarayanan3073]

WHAT HOW DIDNT YOU MAKE IT

[@T0rche]

(I know I'm 3 years late) I would have liked to see those two finalists in action because you actually looked pretty good out there... They must have been perfect.

[@JBM425]

I feel your pain. I’ve been waiting to be drafted or signed as a free agent for 48 years now… and I’m still waiting for my name to be called.

[@isyaboigenji2483]

I love those Bauer reactors!!!! I have the same pads but with the old mike richter color scheme from the 90’s and they are beautiful

[@hockeyninjastudios3352]

I originally wouldn't be anything but a forward. Goalie didn't seem exciting enough as a kid. But when i started making videos of NHL goalies, I decided to try it. Really glad I did. Goaltending gives you an amazing feeling in the game, whether it's on that ice, or a driveway, or whatever. The feeling when you have a good game or make a great save is enough to push you father and farther to love the sport. Goalie, Defensemen, or Forward, all hockey positions deserve respect.

[@coachkantro2002]

"Perfect. You guys have a 38? No? Alright."

[@KaneVanGate38]

Although I laughed it off in the video, I was pretty disappointed that they didn't give me 38...

[@krzyzak03]

That goalie with the dominik Hasek pool though lol

[@Tyler-pt8wu]

Im right handed and i use a right handed stick but dont know if im full right becuase when i play catch with friends i catch with my right and when i try to catch with my left im not as good so from a goalie perspective which one?

[@KaneVanGate38]

I think you should catch with the hand you're most comfortable with. After all, your first and primary job is to keep the puck out of the net. Being able to trap the puck is crucial. Today's game is so fast, you really just need to be able to make a crisp 20-50 ft pass. I think it would be less difficult to teach yourself how to shoot the opposite way (like many goalies have had to do, myself included...I still shoot left with a players stick) than it would be to teach yourself how to catch with your non-glove hand.. especially if you've ever played baseball.

[@Tyler-pt8wu]

Kane Van Gate To the support! I'll try a full right glove too

[@reidmichaelson7260]

Tyler._2017 full right

[@itswings1543]

Kvg pls explain the beef with trav4oilers if you. havent see his recent video you should watch it.

[@jasonkandankery9601]

He's good

[@gerryattrik4410]

Such a crush on this fella 😍

[@cavageplaz2523]

That didn’t work out well did it

[@michellemancini5910]

The Florida Panthers are my favorit team

[@masonmaroney9035]

It is pretty funny that you bring your pads everywhere!!!!!

[@559043]

comments are hilarious, so many of you don't get it

[@petergoesbardownski]

When will Kane ever get picked 😐

[@danielpark9392]

[@hockey4vlogs185]

[@KaneVanGate38]

[@markielemay9837]

[@brandonrockwell8269]

[@mason17hockey]

[@jaclynmassaro7456]

You brag about yourself too much

[@r8ted23]

You deserved the finalist

[@ericsessoms7297]

They asked me to help at the tryouts couldn't sadly

[@KaneVanGate38]

[@ericsessoms7297]

Kane Van Gate haha that's right!

[@failurexdesgn]

[@DumDum6978]

[@iikrona2046]

[@thomaspettinato1757]

[@nrnerfguy]

People watching this after Florida won the stanley cup 👇

[@itswings1543]

Kvg what do you think of ccm pads?

[@KaneVanGate38]

I like 'em (they look sick) but I'm obligated (not contractually) to wear Bauer.

[@itswings1543]

Kane Van Gate XD

[@vwziful]

Next year...Ottawa Senators

[@carterbailey3649]

Trav would've made it

[@WeaponUser2]

I think this a perfect example of karma. You think you're the best, you're gonna get put in your place.

[@natecohen8491]

That’s more of a mistake on their side of not picking u rather a mistake of how u preformed

[@verifieduser6332]

Lol this is perfect

[@noname2031-w5r]

dude get over your self... have fun working at starbucks.

[@Gidus44]

So do you get in NHL ciz i am not understud enghlis but i am following you KVG!

[@noahhoch4994]

KVG can you respond?

[@KaneVanGate38]

Hey bud, thanks for watching. What's up?

[@johnbrown6189]

If your a BL goalie in a pro game the only stops your going to make is if the shooter tries to hit you.

[@DomClipzz]

gotta be tall to get picked. doesnt matter if you perform the best unfortunately

[@olgalisser7324]

YOU SHOUld AKSHEIY Be on the panters

[@damienshockeychannel2973]

I love both you guys and I mean by that Pavel Barbara and you

[@Volarsheep]

You should have been the next best nhl goalie ever

[@goalie3696]

Ur butterfly needs to close all the way and ur stance is to wide

[@TheFoolintherainn]

Never underestimate your opponents...

[@goalie3696]

Y do u not look where u t push

[@iHaveTheDocuments]

He's either trolling with dead pan humor or this is straight CRINGE. The world may never know.

[@markd4768]

You should be the HABS backup goalie ! We’re in dire straits for one! Your obviously a pro goalie caliber. If I were you I’d be trying to contact every NHL team! Get yourself an agent, you definitely look like you can be a backup in the NHL. And if you don’t get your shot, play for an AHL team you can make a good living in the minors too...good luck! 🏒🇨🇦I honestly think they thought you were to good to be a backup! There’s politics everywhere especially in sports and it wouldn’t look good if you were actually better than there starting goalie!

[@canweget500subscriberswith2]

I hate people who asks for likes No I really do

[@peytonstevenson3602]

Kevin! What's up? I'm Peyton Stevenson. I'm one of the kids that you coach at the Racine camps in Saint Louis! Funny to see you on KZbin! Didn't know you played for BHL. Awesome pads btw!

[@johncunningham5027]

Shit backup goalie say was there boy

[@loganclark9873]

Vancouver Canucks next year

[@Buckster-tv8un]

Logan Clark yess

[@KaneVanGate38]

I'd LOVE to play in Vancouver...if you know anyone in scouting please tell them about me

[@huntermcammond1916]

Your setup isn’t that good mine is better

[@Mystninja]

Do any American goalies own a goalie bag. My ocd makes sure i have a gear bag that fits my pads. Every thing but my sticks.

[@EDE20052]

Those your set are so cool i hope i have retro set

[@TEDDY-um9tx]

I really want to believe that you're serious all the time but I know that it's just pure joking but it's hilarious Seinfeld humor !

[@sarahewitt3395]

you should come to canada ,Killam ab you whould be a good jr b goalie. the teams called the Killam wheat kings ppplllzzz

[@quandale2470]

i can’t tell if this whole thing is a joke or not

[@JohnWicksPencil14]

You got any extra jerseys I could buy off you? A practice jersey or something?

[@codypendency9482]

a team cut our goalie and he's top of the league and makes 50 saves a night I don't think one day tryouts really work

[@cool_cadet28]

As a bit of a younger goalie what kind of pads would you recommend?

[@blizzit1211]

im not a goalie but I think you should just compare pads and see how you like them, same ones probably dont work for everyone

[@Rangerrangerarethebest.]

How do you not know that was bonesy

[@chesslegend9945]

Or #38 being #38th of 38 people

[@wastefellow2569]

Hey, didn't this get deleted?

[@lottsalasagna431]

What a joke pro sports has become
