I think you need to watch the NHL playoffs next year and I think you will become a big fan and start watching games full time. There is nothing more exciting than playoff hockey. The regular season is good but the intensity of the playoffs is insane.

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

Goalies have insane reflexes. Those snipes are coming in hard, fast and laser focused. So great to watch.

[@barruman3145]

The average shooting percentage for the 2018-19 NHL season was 9.46%. A total of 7,577 goals were scored on 80054 registered shots. Nathan MacKinnon led all players with 365 shots, scoring 41 goals for an 11.2% shooting percentage.

[@Timmycoo]

lol as Crosby says that the goalie will play the percentages (by positioning) and their reflexes come after. It's such a sweet sound to hear a loud "ting" when the puck hits the post/crossbar and goes in.

[@WillGonja]

Snipes are intended to hit one of the 5 Holes (orginally named spots a goalie leaves uncovered by default whilst moving around the net) 2 new spots have been added to make it now 7 holes but these "Holes" are essentially the areas of the net that are left open by repositioning yourself as a goalie and it should be noted that its physically impossible to cover them all at the same time when facing a shot from any given angle on the ice, but the hardest ones to hit are top left top right and technically the hole between the legs known as the 5 Hole. From 1-7 The holes are as follows 1. Over shoulder right 2. over shoulder left 3. Lower rightside right Leg Pad 4. Lower Leftside of left Leg pad 5. Between the goalies legs. And the 2 new ones are 6. Under arm right side and 7. Under arm Left side. So hopefully this helps understand why Snipes are so epic because goalies work on closing every one of those holes and every goalie has a "weak hole" or one they struggle with the most so that also plays into shot selction as well. Once again love the videos bro keep em comming hell yeah road to 20k!!!

[@yojustmatt]

Ahh I see, I appreciate the breakdown bro. That makes more sense and gives me more of an idea of how crazy good precision these guys have when shooting. Much love bro

[@pepsi_can3070]

@@yojustmatt please react to game 6 of the latest season. The Colorado game that one them the cup. That would be such a entertaining video

[@trl2828]

The hardest shot is over either shoulder next to the ear. If you can hit that you score. Period. General rule is to shoot from anywhere, just HIT THE NET.

[@Pain-Glory]

@@pepsi_can3070 won*

[@TheJerseyNinja]

Hardly anyone actually includes the 6th and 7th home though. Because they just aren’t really there when looking at a goalie in their stance, they’re areas that tend to open up when you shoot, or they’re angles areas so shots are more likely to bounced off the side of us and go in because it’s not a flat surface, but they aren’t really holes which is why none of us include them. Also there’s no real set spot for 1-4. I’ve heard people go too right to bottom left, I’ve seen people go bottom right to top left and everything in between. I’ve seen people say the 1 hole is always on the glove hand side so it depends on the handedness of the goalie. However the universal hole is the 5 hole that’s for sure

[@kweqwequgtweqfq4694]

Great seeing someone with a fresh outlook enjoy our game so much, keep it coming

[@spacetiger5076]

Hahaha your face at Oven Chicken’s spinny no look slap shot a little after 7:00.

[@JayBergie]

You should check out Elias Pettersson’s highlights, one of his career by Sports Montage called Elias Pettersson #40 | Highlights | and another on all his goals from the most recent season called Elias Pettersson (#40) All 32 Goals of the year 2021-22 NHL Season by Hatrickane!

[@hedeen2455]

The silence from 3:20 had me dying, bro i love these reactions keep it up.

[@SnappyJCM800]

Hitting those crazy angles is like when you’re being deed up and you seem to have no shot but you still some how hit the jumper

[@thomas-mc1tp]

It’s awesome to see you call out the players names recognizing the ones you’ve reacted to. I played for 20 years it’s such a fun sport and fun to watch.

[@Richie_RHD]

ive been loving watching these, and seeing you appreciate the sport more and more each and every time.

[@Whatdoyouwant904]

I love watching people get into hockey for the first time, once you start watching hockey it’s tough to watch other sports bc it feels like they’re playing in slow motion. There’s no out of bounds in hockey, it’s possible to play 10-15 minutes without a single stoppage in play.

[@jamesbaron7057]

I hope you become a full on hockey fan after reacting to so many videos! It’s an amazing sport once you realize and understand all the elements it takes to play the sport of hockey! Also. Another underrated part about the sport of hockey is the GOAL HORNS! When the home team scores. You should do a small video reacting to NHL goal horns!!

[@futurecorpse7330]

Yeah that’s whats crazy goalies be like 0.3 seconds to late and it’s already in the net

[@noahanutta]

Lmao you said “when lightning hits and thunder comes” and thunder just boomed outside my house 🤣

[@yojustmatt]

😂 Yooo that's crazy bro

[@David_C_83]

Often you'll hear about keeping it simple, taking shots at the net. The only bad shot is the one you don't take. Send pucks to the net, you never know what might happen. Obviously you don't necessarily want to lose puck possession but taking a shot is rarely seen as a bad thing, even if the angle isn't very favorable because you can have redirections, either wanted or not, or you get a first stop that ends up giving a scoring chance to another player that might be well positioned and it might be the difference between scoring or not, especially when a team is going through a losing streak. But the snipes are definitely something mesmerizing!

[@Dr.Acula76]

You miss 100% of the shots you don't take

[@mags4212]

Snipes are so satisfying

[@emoryligas]

i love how you said no shot is a bad shot cuz thats exactly what we try to instill in young players. take the shot, no shot that's on net is a bad shot, anything can happen :) even the smallest piece of snow on the ice could redirect the puck in a way that gets by the goalie into the back of the net. biscuit in the basket. shark is in the tank. all that

[@ssacra22]

In fairness, for all of those that just tuck under the crossbar or into the corner, the same shot is missed quite a few times. It's a game of inches and the old adage is to keep putting the puck on net and eventually something good will happen. Such a great sport.

[@chynnadavis3077]

ahhh there's nothing better than the sweet sweet sound of the puck against the post...that "ting" is music to my ears. you should check out the best goals from this year's playoffs. i think there might be a top 10 vid out there, even though i feel there needs to be a longer video bc the amount of skill that was displayed this postseason was elite. especially from colorado

[@themilk2448]

Unless the ting is against your team

[@jordannijjar5414]

Seider video will be good. His hitting is THE BEST I'VE EVER SEEN.

[@joelkivisto]

You should react to Patrik Laine, he had the shootout goal and other snipes in this vid.

[@seanreddy985]

It’s my favorite sound in the world. Just like you hear the shot before you see the bullet. You hear the ding before you even see the puck lol

[@bgGameClips]

Not sure if anyone mentioned this yet. That sound you love so much, the puck hitting the post before going in. There's a couple names for it. If it hits the upright posts (left or right) it's just called "post-in" . If it rings off the crossbar it's called "bardown". Going bardown is basically adding insult-to-injury for the goalie and opposing team. It's a burn

[@zhanki_8064]

Mo seider is a beast 😤, only a rookie this past season

[@ryanstarman5784]

Dude you need to do more of this, as a hockey player I approve

[@user-yi9hz3or2t]

That ovi spin around one is the best

[@rushilb6]

2:27 he shot that so hard he made the water bottle explode 😳

[@tonka3439]

That spin shot by Kane, Jesus Edit: That corner shot by Crosby, Jesus Edit: that backhand by Fiddler, Jesus Edit: that spin shot by Ovi, Jesus

[@davidshea7865]

i think it’s time to watch some Moritz Seider highlights, won rookie of the year this past season, a big bodied defenseman that moves like he’s 5’10

[@davidshea7865]

nah i just got to the part of the vid where you said you were reacting to him, you’re gonna love him!

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

Looking forward to this too! It’s so fun to watch your reactions Matt. It’s a great game

[@mathieujolicoeur7264]

yessir been waiting on this joint fire vid

[@theraccoons4364]

matt gets it and im here for it

[@yojustmatt]

That's love 💯

[@stevedave3337]

You miss 100% of the shots you don't take. - Wayne Gretzky

[@yojustmatt]

W quote 💯

[@panhead234]

He never really became anything relevant in the NHL, but if you want to see one of the craziest shooters out there, I recommend looking for Teemu Pulkkinen compilations. He didn’t make it in the NHL because, even though his shot was crazy, he was slow, small, had subpar hands, and looked completely lost on defense, but the one thing he had going for him he dialed up to 11. Kid could shoot the wings off a mosquito.

[@joelkivisto]

Thiss

[@anthonyhaines496]

I think everyone who has never played hockey should try it once, even if it's just playing a little stick n' puck and taking some shots/passes. Most people will find it difficult to even raise the puck off the ice with any sort of speed.

[@unlucky_charm29]

i think you're my favorite channel that does hockey reactions. you have a very good sense of the game, especially for someone who has never really watched before

[@yojustmatt]

Thank you bro, I really appreciate that fr

[@BTwarrior21]

Yes the definition of snipers in hockey!

[@bernardqblack]

They make it look effortless

[@xSwan]

A player you should really check out is Johnny Gaudreau. Amazing passer and can also score goals. Incredibly skilled as well. The video I recommend is Johnny Gaudreau 2021-2022 Highlights | 115 Points in 82 Games. Great reaction as always!

[@LordPorkChop84]

*Snap*....*CLUNK*..... *BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!*... I'd say thats the Hockey/Basketball equivalent of a Dunk 😝

[@mastersloan]

I don't usually like videos of goals cause I used to play goalie and it's depressing to watch lol but I like your reactions man

[@Legend_Killer9907]

You gotta react to tic-tack-toe goals next!

[@danielvezina5521]

All that is happening on ice, while wearing razorblade shoes and there's 5 guy trying to take your head off!!! Hockey is the best sports.

[@TheJimprez]

When hit with a slapshot, the puck travels at 90-100 MILES /hour. If something that small came at you at that speed from 10-15 feet away, do you know ANYONE who could have the reflexes to stop it... Now, just imagine what the best goalies have for reflexes... Because they STOP most of those... Charra hit one at 108.8 Mph.

[@NNHgohabsgo]

Fam reaction to the beauty of hockey soon 👀

[@Rice_BaL]

in hockey shot selection isn’t super important and my coaches always say just to put pucks on net and see what happens so a lot of shots from bad angles are usually encouraged cuz you never know what might happeb

[@denisdupuis4386]

React to nhl skill competition or nhl shootout competition

[@lex9857]

something kinda different to react to could be passing. I would suggest “the art of passing by Mitch Marner” … i would say Marners hockey iq and ability to visualize and set up goals are what he tends to be known for, even more then his ability to score highlight worthy goals of his own.

[@amarko52]

5:24 I was at that game when Eichel went upstairs, hands down the sickest goal I've ever seen in person, I root for both of those teams but root for the Caps when they play each other and I couldn't even be mad about that goal 😂

[@firewolf2930]

[@getothechoppa114]

I think crosby has an entire video comp of shots like this lol. Along with several other videos of shit he does constantly

[@justinmurray8500]

Hockey is such an incredible sport. I love watching good hockey in general but as a Penguins fan trust me Sidney Crosby has made me have the same reaction numerous times 😂

[@zhanki_8064]

You should watch highlights from this past season too to get really acquainted with the league, it doesn’t take as long as you think to get familiar with the league

[@logancad]

Please do a johnny gaudreau reaction, hes the talk of hockey right now because he went to a team that nobody expected him to go to during free agency after having an unreal season with the Calgary flames

[@bart1858]

MISTA CROSBY gotchu speechless

[@puljuxedits5165]

Draisaitl had one last year kinda like crosbys but it was below the goal line, legit no angle at all and it still went it it’s crazy

[@Jordan91alexander]

Going bar down on a goalie is the equivalent of dunking on someone.

[@bomberman009]

Gotta watch ilya kovalchuk literally all highlights of him sniping all day

[@nikhilmajumder-singh2566]

idk if you already have, but react to nhl best overtime winners! Great content keep it up!

[@SLEEPYYSZN]

[@ssommey697]

[@Ezzzer]

[@lucasrozmus9388]

Moritz Sider is pronoucned Mor-It's ( put that togethor ) and sider like the drink cider or apple cider vinager

[@yojustmatt]

Glad you mess with it 😂

[@spoiledshorts69]

montage is dope kinda wish it had more variety tho, it’s just showing top cheddar all day

[@ohsnapitysnapz]

we need to see you react to Elias Petterson

[@user-xy5rd1xw5m]

Sid the kid!!! 2:56

[@MJXtube]

Great snipes for sure. Some recency bias happening here, too. I feel like Mario Lemieux had quite a few goals from the impossible goal-line angle.

[@showtimehockey9705]

Love the video

[@hillsymcleafy3605]

Wayne gretzky the jordan of hockey

[@Kyle86910]

In the all star competition the fastest shot was clocked at just over 107 mph

[@Bhutchin09]

Passing plays bro. Gotta add that to the list

[@Pyroe08]

Ayo u should react to Igor Shesterkin’s saves, man was a monster in net this year

[@yojustmatt]

I tried but that reaction got blocked unfortunately

[@michaelsstepdad5134]

You should react to NHL greatest comebacks I'll prove your claim that anything is possible in ice hockey

[@jellynorris1231]

If you like seeing snipes patrik Laine’s release is unstoppable

[@hillsymcleafy3605]

And love the vids man

[@TheCaperMC]

React to Marc Andre fleury

[@toriamansfield2999]

Please watch Mario Lemieux's faceoff goal. One of the most amazing shots ever.

Poppin the bottle is glorified by the snipers muahhaha great reaction bruh keep up the good work man

Glad you enjoyed

[@NYSeaNile]

After playing hockey and watching hockey for years on long island. Shooting the puck is kind of a reaction. I know where im standing, I know where the net should be. Shoot.

[@michal8489]

Do reacting to hockey fights!

[@m.a.r.l.o.s]

You need like an Eagle Eye shots

[@ferdaboi4428]

You should react Kyle Connor highlights he’s a winger for the Winnipeg jets and he’s a really exciting player to watch

[@VictorEMusique]

go back in time and check out Guy Lafleur

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

RIP🕊

REACT TO PATRIK LAINE BEST SNIPER IN THE LEAGUE BESIDES OVI

[@jonahcraft7]

Do jack eichel

[@lelouchvibritannia4028]

6:00 That's called a backhanded shot. It's very difficult.

[@lelouchvibritannia4028]

10:30 is another example. Crosby is a right-handed player that shot left there.

[@FlyingSqwirel]

At this point its instincts muscule memory and just overall skill and not as much as the player aiming. Yes they aim but in the moment they rely on the training they've had and spot the place where they want to shoot visualize it and then the muscules take over and the more training they've had the better chances there is that it will go in. Coming from a hockey player.

[@jonahcraft7]

Do Erik karlsson😊

[@nickrault6489]

That Crosby one isn’t that crazy, Leon Draisaitl took one from on the line vs Ottawa. Leon gets no love because he plays with mcdavid but watching him shoot is crazy sometimes, dude literally will find the only hole on a goalie

[@branchhaver7668]

You should watch David Pastrnak
