Why You Should Have Sharp Skates | GoPro Hockey Goalie [HD] - Playoffs GAME 3

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

Do you prefer sharp or dull skates when playing in net?

[@Gumtow]

Sharp

[@holidayyy]

I sharpen my skates twice a year, but I just got 2S skates with the carbon blades, so that might down to once a year

[@videostar25]

Definitely sharp so I can get across quickly. I've played with dull skates and which inhibits your movement. Great game Sam. Good luck in the finals!

[@bbqBaconNinja]

I get mine done at 7/16 every few games, no more than 5 for sure but generally every 3.

[@kd-pt1zy]

Sharp all day.

[@goalie2998]

Good team win. You made the saves when needed. And the guys took advantage of openings. Nice to see.

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

Yeah, my team really pulled it together this game!

[@grimkeeper35]

That's me for sure. People: "why do you keep your skates so sharp? You're gonna stick to the ice." Me: "I sincerely hope so..."

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

Haha!

[@owenator]

Almost a perfect game Sam! Everyone was solid. Forward getting lots of shots on net and being in the right place and right time. Defence is probably the most improved: pushing their forwards to the outside along the boards and forcing them to take weak angle shots. They still need to stop those odd man rushes (ie 2 on 1) along with not letting anyone get inside the space between the two faceoff circles in the dzone. I love how more guys are taking slapshots too. Never a bad thing when you have the space, time and opportunity. And most of all; not letting a previous defeat intimidate you. Good luck on the next game!

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

This is all so true and I was very happy with their performance this game and hope we can bring it into the next. We are playing a team that we lost to by one goal and then beat in a shutout so it should be a good finals!

[@owenator]

@@ThePuckStopsHere stick to the same game plan and you guys will definitely be the champs. Make sure the guys are talking out there and encouraging each other...even on bad plays.

This is wild, we are the same people (but you’re taller). Both beer league goalies in gta, I’m out in Oshawa, both have video/ production companies, KZbin channels. Love the content. Can’t wait to follow your season! Cheers.

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

Haha, that is awesome. Well it goes to show that we both truly love making videos because rather then spending my weekends doing something else, I am still "working" haha :)

[@FhornPatrick]

The Puck Stops Here days off are boring!

[@kd-pt1zy]

The stick goal went off a stick. Good shot regardless. The second goal was bad ice. You're killing it. Keep it up. Curious what division is it?

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

I don’t think it did hit a stick but maybe I didn’t notice when it happened. And I think it was a mixture of the ice and dull skates.

[@Rageof4wa]

The moves at 6:19 were WOW!

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

Yeah that was pretty good haha

[@danielsawyer9953]

Is it just me or does the other goalie's jersey number being off-center distract you guys too? Makes it look like he's constantly off-angle!

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

Yeah, it throws me off too but perhaps he was like number 10 or something and the other number came off.

[@mikelow4374]

He looks really small too

[@mannymuchnikoff916]

Loving those stats. Great game! :D

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

Me too! :)

[@chrise8555]

congrats on the big win sam! good luck in the finals bud

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

Thanks Chris!

[@stkirby17]

Congrats on the win and good luck in the finals. Where does your team play?

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

Thank you and we play in Toronto.

[@mikelow4374]

The boys were on their game for sure

[@thinkingjack]

Had a guy smoke me on a similar shot like the blocker high you got taken on. He looked like he was falling and then spun himself around and hooked the puck with his toe and sling shot it on that corner. I had the surprise of my life and it was a great shot

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

I hate those shots when you don't expect them to get a good one off and then some how they just snipe you. But it is a good lesson for every goalie. Don't ever underestimate their shot even if they don't look like they are going to get a good one off.

[@joejoe6952]

Good game, Sam!

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

Thanks Joseph!

[@joejoe6952]

@@ThePuckStopsHere The other goalie remembers of Arthurs Irbe and goalies of yesteryear.

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

@@joejoe6952 Yeah kind of :)

[@chrisstewart171]

Newer to the channel (love it btw) and maybe you’ve answered this before: Why #90 as your jersey? Random choice or a purpose behind it?

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

Hey Chris, thanks for checking out my channel :) and the red jerseys were purchased before I joined this team and they had 2 goalie jerseys neither of them 30 so I choose 90 because it fit me better. On my black jersey I have the number 30.

[@nates78]

I run a little dull, helps my side to side movement. Though I do sacrifice my grip on butterfly slides.

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

Nathan Millsap that’s how I feel when my skates are exactly how I like them.

[@coachJoe-wj1ob]

Good luck in the finals Sam!

[@gethacked5578]

I’m a goalie aswell I had a training camp at canlan etobikoe all week and do you know how many times I caught an edge

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

How many?

[@mirandaschoenberger9515]

As a goalie I need my skates sharp or I fall to much my coach say to sharpen them after 6-8 hours on the ice

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

Your coach may have a point however it is also up to personal preference. But if you feel that you fall a lot then that makes sense. :)

[@beerleaguehero]

Great video Sam! The other goalie looks like he's 14 years old lol. Good luck in the finals!

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

Thanks and yeah, I think he might be a bit younger or he just likes smaller gear.

[@SwaGzz]

Letssss goooo boysssss great gameeee👍🏻

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

Thank you!

[@thewall9210]

Killer SV% with those easy shots other team was taking. Good luck next week

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

The Wall haha yeah, not to many challenging shots this game. I should have gotten a shutout this game.

[@rileybarnett6211]

I like your gear

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

Thanks! I love it :)

[@holidayyy]

Little alien man got lit up this game

[@JasonRoche99]

Does your gopro ever get hit? I like the behind the net angle, might start doing this at our skates

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

It got hit once in warmups. That's pretty much it.. It did fall a few times before I got the gopro suction cup though. So make sure you get a good one.

[@TheGoalieMotivation]

the other team is so nice

[@exoticcompilations6915]

sharp

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

Exotic vlogs & gaming how sharp? Do you know what radius you get yours sharpened at?

[@willsalnek9044]

Try rvh man trust me it works

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

I do use it but only in the right circumstances. I truly believe it is over used by most goaltenders because we try to mimic the guys who are massive in the NHL who do it but because they are much taller and more athletic they cover more net and can get back in position faster then I could.

[@johnnix_23]

That power play goal was so sexy 😭

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

Yeah, it really was!

[@bigboiqq]

Your gonna WIN THE FINALS

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

I sure hope so!

[@bigboiqq]

oh well you will good luck

[@iNynths]

great vid Sammy, quick question im sure you've said it before but how tall are you?

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

Hey thanks. I am 6"0 ft tall :)

[@iNynths]

Really? You look a lot taller in net

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

Maybe it is because I play bigger. I guess on skates I am 6'1/6'2.

[@runevancouteren7411]

[@mcnallyscrease5046]

Man what a great game you played really good Sam I was just wondering you got back to me where I played if we couldn't make that work I would come wherever you play so I don't have Facebook so you can email me if you go to my website you'll see where you can email me so hopefully we could make that work have a good one and keep your stick on the ice

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

I play in Toronto. Do you ever come out here?

[@mcnallyscrease5046]

I've never ever played in Toronto but that would be great I have family in Toronto so if we could collaborate with something that be great

[@mcnallyscrease5046]

If we could get together I could go to Toronto and meet and we could do a video while at the rink

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

@@mcnallyscrease5046 That would be fun. I do work a lot but if you are ever planning to come up here let me know and I am sure we can get on the ice!

[@RealADnE]

looks like rookie AI NHL 20 goals but the team goalie u using is all star. small misstakes but crazy saves

[@tatestevens276]

Aye u play at canlan

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

Yes I do :)

[@FarFromHockey]

Does your listed e-mail address work?

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

Far From Hockey listed where? Just so I can double check which one you are referring to👍

[@FarFromHockey]

The Puck Stops Here the one on your KZbin business inquires or whatever. I got a message saying it was delayed. The support @ tpsh one

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

Far From Hockey that one should work but to be honest it would probably be best to message me privately on Instagram as I would get notified right away 👍

[@johnnyrc9304]

Dang.... TPSH, please show that other goalie how to poke check...... Good game for your team.

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

Thanks :) And haha there is an art from to the poke check for sure. :) One I still am working on perfecting.

[@tzbreezy]

I prefer a sharp blade

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

tzbreezy do you know what radius you get yours sharpened at?

[@scotchhockey2020]

I don’t know how that other goalie gets down so quick because he stands so tall. I stood up real straight like that when I first started playing and it kills your back, it’s like falling two feet onto cement on your knees, and if your back is straight like it should be your spine absorbs all the shock.

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

I don't know but it seems to work for him. Maybe not this game but the last time we played them, he got a shutout lol

[@scotchhockey2020]

The Puck Stops Here Yeah I remember thinking he was right little that game, but my god can he move!

[@benjaminmiller2140]

The goalie without chestie is back lol

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

Haha! At least this time he didn't get a shutout :)

[@benjaminmiller2140]

The Puck Stops Here his style looks weird 2 me haha But I like ur ccm gear tho Wish they would fit my long ass legs lol

[@EK32112]

And what hollow do you get them sharpened at?

The Best Time To Wear Skates is the 2nd Or Game Game Sharpened

[@slovak4life1991]

Carey Price has said that he likes his skates sharp. I’d take his advice if I was a goalie.

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

That is a very valid point, however what works for him may not work for everyone. This position is all about preference but it is good to take notes form the guys in the show as what they are doing is clearly working for them.

[@slovak4life1991]

The Puck Stops Here fair enough. Also, I’m sure Pricey woulda turned on the camera if you asked him to.

[@aac2500]

That goalie’s equipment looks very thin. Is that safe?

[@danielsawyer9953]

It definitely looks like older-style gear and he is wearing it super tight too. Looks weird seeing him play butterfly with that setup for sure. It's safe though, less chance of getting hit with the puck =D

[@aac2500]

Daniel Sawyer I only mention that because he looks like me before I got my new equipment, and that wasn’t safe at all

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

Haha never mind, he got a shutout the last time we played them. Maybe he prefers speed over safety or perhaps he just has a good chest protector.

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

I am not sure which chest protector he is wearing but he always does so I guess it works for him.

[@ibuildthings6576]

Yeah, I went to get rental skates and they were full and I could just spin around and slide without them even cutting into the ice, not good😂😂😂

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

That's not good at all haha

[@KB9813]

Sharp. After every second ice time they are sharpen. 1" right now on Trues. Might play with it now I will have to learn how to do it myself, ON THE FLY?!?! Whelp, if I can learn to rebuild a Quadrajet by myself I can do this. Oh, I love my workplace: facebook.com/284392487575/posts/10158905148457576/?sfnsn=mo

[@ThePuckStopsHere]

1" doesn't seem sharp but I guess if you do it that often then it is sharper then what I am currently doing. I wish you did training in Toronto, I would have loved to come out one time to get a tune up :)
