Are you interested in grabbing a limited edition hoodie? If so, which option would you choose? A, B, C, D?

[@TheGoalieMotivation]

The Puck Stops Here I like A

[@pete3636]

Do design A

[@YOUNGER14]

Nice vid I was waiting forever but you did well in net

[@diggydumbo9294]

Black starts with B, and better starts with B too so... I guess I prefer B!!!

[@julien6268]

Gotta give it to him , the other goalie with a stand up position played a really good solid game for the technique he has ! Seing an old time goalie style is always fun to watch from time to time ! keep up the videos !

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

Yeah, the old school style is fun to watch. And I think a lot of players do not know how to play against a goalie like that now-a-days as it is harder to predict their movements.

[@akuankka94]

Goalie cut training jersey with TPSH logo would also be awesome

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

I will look into it :)

[@lou_n3189]

Agreed!

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

I will keep this in mind 👍

[@All_Might_Dada]

Love your breakdowns of the plays man, so cool. You put a lot of work into it. Great game out there.

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

Thanks, I am glad you like the breakdowns. I hope they help others :)

[@videostar25]

Great vid Sam. Your glove was working very well in the game. Here are my answers to your questions... Goalie interference at 7:10? No, because the goalie's own player pushed your player into the tender. At 9:22, Yes to the penalty shot. The player with the puck had a clear path to the goal and was tripped up from behind.

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

Thanks! and I agree with you. I think we would have scored if we got the penalty shot for sure.

[@kelsey9874]

I loved the other goalie's old school style, it was fresh to see. good game as always!

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

Yeah, it was interesting to watch. And thanks :)

[@greglikewhoa2623]

Love this new way that you’re showing videos with both goalies. You get some new Defensemen too?

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

Yeah, we have a few new players for the summer season. We were short benched so I know we should have a few more next game.

[@scotchhockey2020]

Also I really appreciate that you value quality over quantity. It really shows in the quality of your videos - how you have your own sound effects and graphics, slow-mo, and the fact that you have three cams set up that all require editing. I also like that you don’t use dramatic effects or dubstep during or after play. You put a lot of work into your videos and it shows.

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

Thanks, I appreciate you acknowledging how much effort I put into my videos. I truly do like quality over quantity and I am glad that you enjoy my videos. Thank you.

[@lindsay3799]

Goal and penaltie shot

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

I agree!

[@californiahockey818]

Thanks for making this! I loved the footage. It's been a while since I've played due to an injury, and this reminded me of how fun it is! I subbed btw.

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

Thanks for subbing and I am glad you liked it. Sorry to hear about the injury. I hope you heal soon so you can start playing again.

[@theminnow6040]

Any tips on washing a goalie helmet or at least getting it to smell less? (Any advice is appreciated)

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

Tim-Ate -Oh this Odor Klenz powder works really well. I did a review on it recently. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZaUp3RjlqiMesk

[@theminnow6040]

The Puck Stops Here thanks

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

No problem 👍

[@melissatomashek1071]

Design B for sure. Were you playing in Amsterdam because damn there were a lot of windmills

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

Lol! There were a few :)

[@hunterbroughton3379]

This man is better than alot of goalie in the Nhl in my opinion

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

I appreciate the compliment but I highly doubt that haha

[@Hellperbot]

Hello, Sam. I recently become goaltender and have to learn by myself. Can you please explain why are you using VH stance near posts? Most of the NHL goalies use RVH stance and maybe we should too?

[@D_weezy]

RVH is over used, and especially by us shorter guys over used in incorrect situations. RVH should only be used in tight and in wrap around situations. VH is a better option for plays that develop further out as it allows the goalie to better cover the top short side corner. RVH is also a very unnatural position to be in and strains every joint in the lower body

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

Well said Wade. That’s exactly right. The RVH should not be a go-to save selection every time you are on your post. It opens so many wholes and the only really purpose for it is to prevent lower shots from getting in. The VH gives you a better chance at stopping pucks from a distance at the side of the net.

[@maibat1]

Hey, when you have compare your Goalie Stance to a NHL Goalie who you think comes in your mind?

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

That's a great question, it is hard to say. I think most NHL goalies have a wider stance then I do but if I were say a stance that I would like to have it would be Frederik Andersen's

[@maibat1]

👍 good Luck for your upcoming Games and greetings from Germany.

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

@@maibat1 Germany! That's awesome! and thank you :)

[@ericalmon6355]

That goalie's stick had a mind of its own! What level men's league do you play? Was thinking of doing rent-a-goalie but I don't know what skill level I should go for.

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

I play D2 usually but I believe this summer we dropped down to E because we lost some of our players and have some new guys on the team. So we want to see how we do and whether or not we should be moved up. This game we had a short bench, so it will be interesting to see how we do in our next game.

[@jeremyouellet-jean1308]

It was a real great goal because is player push I’m on it and don’t forget to move forward your hands for glove save and big game bud :)

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

Thanks 👍 I appreciate the advice and you watching my video.

[@orionhunter1883]

I like the score being up top.

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

Cool, me to as there is more room up there :)

[@johnnyrc9304]

I very much like the showing of both goalies. Please keep that up. And l, no, the goalie was out of the crease, not interference.

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

I’m glad you like it, so do I. So I don’t plan on stopping anytime soon 👍

[@gprime7210]

Thats a tough loss in the last second. Good thing you played really well. Your forwards need to step back in your own zone, other teams get sooooo many second and third chances with the D just trying to power it up the middle after a rebound with no one there for support. Little to no communication up front, they made a pretty brutal tendy look great by constantly shooting it at him, and not picking that incredibly weak glove hand apart. Love the content though!!

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

Thanks for watching Gordon and yeah, we need to communicate a lot more and we should have had a few more glove side goals for sure. Hopefully my team picks up on that next time we play them!

[@booman3138]

Good game. The other goalie made some good saves as well.

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

Thanks. And yeah, he made a few key saves for sure.

[@j_puck2917]

I like all blue because it is like a goalie crease

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

The blue is nice for sure.

[@SlapHappyGreen]

Unfortunate bit of luck at the last second there, on the potential Goalie Interference I wouldn't have been surprised if they had called it back but think that it was a good goal, goalie initiated the contact and wasn't a lot your player could've done to avoid it. On thye breakaway for the PS I don't think your guy really had the clearance away from the defender to warrant it but again with some of the referees in the ASHL I'm sure some of them would've called it a PS

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

Yeah, it was unfortunate for sure. We just needed to get it out.

[@kray_zee6725]

any chance to get a hoodie sent to Perth Australia....BTW love this channel. great work mate keep it up

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

Krazee Nai I wish I could say yes you could right now but unfortunately they are not available at this time due to them being custom made. But I may be doing another order soon and if/when I do, of course I could ship it to Australia.

The black jersey is Beautiful

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

Cool, I think so too.

[@coltenroache5309]

Whoever is number 10 is on your team is really good

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

That's Josh. Usually one of the top scorers in the league.

[@coltenroache5309]

The Puck Stops Here yeah I like the toe drag then the one hander deke it was sick.

[@skittzo29]

@8:00 u could have slide over with your gloves out and u could have probably stopped in the middle of the crease

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

Yeah but like I say in the breakdown, I was anticipating him going back to my catcher side, so I didn't want to over extend myself and get burnt. Turns out I still did lol

What do you mean where's the love for the gopros? And I agree. We should have won that game. I hate those last second goals.

Happy Easter man

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

Happy easter!

[@nahm8idrathernot603]

Hey, I am wanting to become a tendy. I need some advice, Which hand should my catcher/glove be on? Thank you in advance

[@bigmuskieman]

A Guy Who Plays Games you want to hold the stick in your dominant hand and your trapper in the other

[@raywuf]

A Guy Who Plays Games Koolc4ts got it. You may want to put your glove in your more dominant hand but the more you play and work on it, the more natural itll feel in your other. If you’re a righty- glove on left If you’re a lefty- glove on right

[@nahm8idrathernot603]

Thank you two so much! This really helps, so I know what to buy.

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

Have someone toss you a ball and see which hand feels more natural to catch with. Also, in most cases, you would use the opposite that you would as a player. So as a player I shoot right but as a goalie I use a left handed stick. Hope that helps.

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

Good advice.

[@what_the_fred337]

#10 with the nasty one-hander :o

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

Yeah, Josh is great.

[@landynlaberge4621]

Are you going to get the extrem flex 4

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

No, my 3’s will last me a while. No need to upgrade just yet.

[@lordofthecrease]

LOVE that blk/gry one. looks more new-school. the other three designs are fantastic also! Good luck! I'm dropping a new vid today as well in the sake of @trav4oilers Jets lol

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

Awesome and I’ll have to check out the vid! 👍

[@therealslimshady7194]

The yellow Goalie always drops his glove. Just a small tip😏

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

Yeah, I showed my team that. So next time we are going to shoot glove side more often

[@Gallipoli1929]

Is the yellow goalie hurting? Why does he keep his glove down like that?

[@scotchhockey2020]

Are these hoodies going to be for a limited time? Because I don’t start my summer job for another two or three weeks, maybe more idk but I definitely want a hoodie but I don’t have the funds yet.

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

Yes, I am still confirming the details and how people can place their orders so perhaps once I start taking offers, you will be able to get one :) I may do a giveaway for one as well... But shhh, don't tell anyone ;)

[@liborgallik478]

What division do you play in ASHL ?

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

I was playing in D2 and then sometimes we moved up to C but this game was E. We want to see how our team is before moving back up to D. We were short benched this game, so it is not the best representation of our full team.

[@liborgallik478]

@@ThePuckStopsHere I play in the ASHL in Chicago but we play in C2. The highest level is B. I also played in a different league in a A division. Seems like to me that in Canada your division might be lower but the skill level will be the same because player are better in Canada! The speed of the games you play in looks similar to mine, but hard to tell

That’s amazing!!! I’m glad to here you are starting now 👊

[@JoeyVilleneuve]

that was not goaltender interference. I prefer the all black with red stripes design.

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

I agree and cool 👍 I like that one too.

[@viperjustin8186]

I thought my old school style was hideous. Now I know what I look like!!! LOL. Nonetheless, you both played a great game.

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

Sometimes the old school might look hideous but it does the job. At the end of the day, you do what ever it takes to stop the pucks and if what you are doing works, then keep it up!

[@viperjustin8186]

@@ThePuckStopsHere I started playing in the early 90s as a kid when the butterfly was really hitting its stride. Our goalie coach showed us both stand up and the butterfly. However, we never really did butterfly slides (from the butterfly position). Its what I still struggle with today. I take a basic file to my skates to give it a tiny bit of an edge before each game, thats it. (More old school teachings...). So my style is basically half stand up, half butterfly. Whenever I drop to a butterfly, I get back up to get to the other side of the crease (if Im playing out at the edge of the crease). If Im close enough, I kick off the posts. Anyways, do you have any tips for recovering from one side to another while down in a butterfly. I just havent figured out what part of the skate or whatever to push off with. LOL!!! 37, playing like Im 47, but feeling like Im 17 again. Theres nothing like playing hockey. Thanks for your GREAT channel! Keep up the awesome work!!!

[@insidethecrease3318]

That other goalie plays how my style used to be until I practiced a more butterfly style approach and bought equipment that actually fit my build! Lol

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

Gotcha, I think having the right sized gear makes a ton of difference!

[@insidethecrease3318]

The Puck Stops Here it does completely I went from 32” to 35” pads and I have a more upright stance and more crease coverage! Huge difference in play less effort for more coverage and saves!!!

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

That's amazing to hear. Usually people buy pads that are too big and end up getting smaller gear opening more holes.

[@insidethecrease3318]

The Puck Stops Here yea I did a ton of research on sizing equipment based off of measurements. And I just messed around with a bunch of stick sizes until found one that worked the best. I find a shorter handle gives me the best stability and speed if I have a longer stick for some reason it always ends up caught in the netting! Lol but I usually wait for GoalieMonkey.com to hold there Buy one get one sale on goalie sticks! Last year I got 2 True composite sticks for $75.

[@theminnow6040]

Design B has my vote

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

Awesome!

[@Raylep1]

Questions. 1) Do you find more games you play in a week help/hurt your gameplay? 2)I like your old scoreboard (Sorry)! Shots are too hard to read. 3) Do you find it different playing in the summer. The guys asked me to play during the summer this year. I was surprised. I said yes. Got my gopro almost set up. New pc on the way. Put that together then video editing will be able to take place. Love your vids!

[@Raylep1]

Crap... B Fer sure. All Black

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

Answers: 1) No, I think you should play as much as possible depending on your athletic abilities. However, playing competativly 7 days a week would be extremely hard on your body. 2) Fair enough, I just wanted to make it like the NHL ones so this is what I came up with. 3) It's different from season to season but whether it is summer or winter doesn't change how I play. and awesome.. can't wait to see your videos.

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

Cool :)

[@CamSchneider317]

I think a jersey would be a better choice as it should be much cheaper! I really like B but in Canadian dollars it will be well over $120 after shipping so I’m out.

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

That’s fair. I’m going to try my best to get the cost of each hoodie lower but I just can’t promise anything. So if I end up selling them for $75, it would be around $100-$110 CND. But the quality will be worth it!

[@irishfire619]

I don’t know why, but watching the other goalie have his glove on his thigh a lot was hurting my brain. I know it’s easier to move the glove up, but I don’t think I’d ever move it fast enough to make a save from that position.

[@thewall9210]

Dude, ahhh your team they need to get better shots. I seen shots but none tested the tendy. He played good but your team made it easy for him.

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

Thanks, I agree. I think we could have beaten him a few more times if we just picked a few corners.

[@tylersydow4684]

What about the other hoodie you should us ?

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

Turns out that the image the manufacture showed on their website was not the actually hoodie and the quality was subpar. So I found a new place to get them.

I understand, but once you see the actual material and the quality of how they are made, you will understand why they are so much. I tried to get the price as low as possible but sometimes it is worth it to pay for that quality.

[@amygraves6331]

It wasn't goallie interference because the guy in the black jersey when he raised his and the other guy's stick it caused him to loose Ballance and fall on the goallie and I can't tell but he might of also been out of the blue

Goals don’t count as shots

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

Shot on goal: A statistic in hockey that is awarded when a shot that a player takes or a redirection of the puck towards goal resulting in the puck either being stopped by the goaltender or the puck beating the goaltender and a goal is scored. Shots on goal by an individual player and for a team as a whole are counted and kept as a statistic during every NHL game played, whether a pre-season, a regular season or a playoff game.
