Teemu Hartikainen just attempted one of the most creative and filthy shootout moves I've ever seen - we'll talk about all that and more on today's hockey video!
The goalie is saying, "What you just did is illegal." To the guy with the video and with the commentary: Dude, he missed the shot! Even if the puck landed in the net, it would have not counted since what he did is illegal. Your praising makes no sense.
Almost all hockey players from Finland and Sweden will have played a sport called floorball. It’s a bit like floor hockey but with a much lighter stick and ball. This is the most blatant floorball move I’ve yet to see but you can see traces of that sport in Elias Petterssons game too.
almost like but this is still really far from that. in floorball you can throw the ball anywhere you want so its almost automatic goal. here teemu had very limited options where the puck could go, left or right topside and obviously it wasnt very accurate method from that range compared to normal shot. so it pretty much just relied on shock value and surprise. i dont see mcdavid doing this in regular games even if he could.
Which Elias Pettersson are you talking about? The Canucks have 2 of them now. (I know you're talking about the center, I just think it's funny that they drafted another player with the same name this year).
Floorball is way funnier and more convenient to play than hockey because 1) you don't have to be strong, even a 5-year old girl can shoot with those sticks and balls, and 2) it's indoor on floor so it's not cold either. It's also way cheaper. It's essentially a after work hobby not really much of a serious sport.
@@okyouknowwhatever more convenient? Sure. You can play it in any indoor arena with typical "sports floor", and all you need is a stick, a ball and a pair of functioning legs. More fun? Lol no, not even close. If you actually know how to skate, hockey is so much more fun.
It is inspired by floorball penalties and a floorball move called Zorro. Floorball is a really popular sport in Findland, sweden and other nordic countries.
It is move heavily inspired by a floorball move named "Zorro". The inventor of the move is a guy named Janne Täkhä, Finland. He first did it in a game between Sweden and Finland in 1999. Since then it has gone better and better and better. I would reccomend looking up the player named Nils Höglander. If you can't find it, add "Zorro".
Nah I’ve played hockey my whole life I’m 23 now this is just fuckin wild. The wrist strength, the balls to pull that off is crazy. The fact he actually got a shot off is crazy
And how old was Gretzky or Mcjesus? The kid is right, it would take great strength and skill, not to mention balls in a shoot out. I'm 60, I'm with the kid.
I had a good laugh when you said you played hockey your whole life and you're only 23 yrs. old. I suggest you clean up your speech and realize you're not in the locker room a with your friends. Coming from a 73 yr. old hockey bum.
Imagine the wrist strength it requires to pull this off. Teemu is one heck of a strong sturdy player. I have always thought of him as a Finnish version of Jagr. By no means he is as skilled as Jagr was, but Teemu has a similiar style of keeping and covering the puck with his massive behind.
Yes covering the puck is his biggest strength, one of the best players on it that i have seen honestly and ive seen many games. He is big and strong like a bison, if this requires a lot of strength he definitely has it
that was insane, and it should count considering its on his stick the whole time. we hold the puck back to take a wrist shot so it shouldnt be much different than that
Puck must always go forward if the forward progress stops the attempt is dead which is why spinorama is banned. If he made a few small modifications so it's closer to the datsykian it could be legal.
@@THIS---GUY that is definitely not the rule. It has to do with putting the puck your stick, lacross style. Like the michigan. Which you cannot do in a shootout
@drebk bro what? That is definitely the rule 😅 One of the basic rules of a shootout attempt is "During a penalty shot, the puck must be kept in motion towards the opponent’s goal line" The reason the spinorama was banned was because forward motion of the puck toward the goal line stopped. It has nothing to do with putting the puck on the stick. Floor hockey and lacrosse moves often violate this principal of no stopping forward progress toward the goal line and would be the reason this move would be called dead. The other rule states The spin-o-rama type move where the player completes a 360° turn as he approaches the goal, shall be permitted as this involves continuous motion. However, should the puck come to a complete stop at any time during the shot attempt, the shot shall be stopped and no goal will be the result.
@@THIS---GUY I'm glad someone else agrees that even if this had worked it shouldn't have counted. All respect to the talent it takes to do it, but as you've mentioned it doesn't follow the rules of the shootout.
He's currently playing for my hometown team in the swiss league, and there is no wonder why he's the highest scorer of the whole league (being paired with big names such as linus omark really helps tho)
Probably would still be playing in russia with granlund and manninen, but finnish politicians told them to leave russia. I wouldnt have left my life behind..
I LOVE when player's think of new and unique moves in shootout. Always when I was a kid I watched Pavel Datsyuk and his shootout moves and try to replicate that yourself always, damn that was fun..
That's incredible. It may be the future of hockey. I remember when Pavel Bure tried to rainbow the puck over the net from behind and pass it to himself. Happened at Maple Leaf Gardens in the mid-90's. He missed, but it was magic to us watching it. Years later it became a viable play, even if extremely rare. Phil Borque was tried to score on a breakaway with the puck pinned down by the end of his stick. Missed, but it was also a neat idea, even if it never caught on. Pavel Datsyuk's shootout drag and rainbow plop shot over the goalie was also experimental, but it has now been confirmed as a bonified shootout move. So we will see in years to come if this becomes part of hockey, or just a failed fringe experimentation.
I knew he is good, even if his skating keeps him outside the NHL.. But. I had no idea he had this in him. And his wrists are clearly strong, it was not a weak shot with one hand either.
I don’t know how a player could even come up with that move. I have watched it over and over, and I’m still not sure it’s possible. Serious respect to that young man for coming up with it.
Wow! Admittedly the fact that the puck didn’t go in bothers me a bit but it is still one of the sickest moves I’ve ever seen. I think I’ll always put Datsyuk at the top of my shootout highlight list…but this one is now near the top as well.
The forearm and wrist strength to flip the stick around, pull the puck to behind himself, flip the stick around again and flip the puck after, with ONE HAND....is freaky skillful.
New Michigan. I’ve been watching for over 30 years now and that’s impressive. I’m not sure I’ve seen anything like it either, it’s like a hybrid of everything.
The concept that a player shouldn't try the thing he thinks will bring him the most success on the ice is completely insane. Only people with bitterness in their hearts actually get angry when somebody else does something that hurts nobody and provides joy to others, and accomplishes their goal.
Eck is showing his status as a newcomer to hockey with this one by being so impressed with that move 😂 Jokes aside, that is a super cool move. It shows up now and again in shootouts, mostly in the Euro leagues, and it's always fun to see.
That was sick…kind of wish he would have scored. That takes incredible talent , skill and strength. And to pull it off in a game vs. your biggest rival takes some balls as well.
you should make a video on LA winning their last two games in shootouts and how phoenix copley is actually playing way better than LA's main goaltenders.
It would have counted, because he was skating forward the whole time and he was in control of the puck all the time. Soooo close to going in. The goalie was in disbelief xD
As a Finnish hockey fan, I laughed like hell when I saw this. Sweden's goalkeeper was good, so we had to try something surprising, and I think Teemu Hartikainen put on a good show.
It would have counted and it's under appreciated how likely he would have scored with this move. He basically just missed an empty net which is unfortunate. One of the best shootouts ever. Hartikainen is amazing player
@@ilarivaisanen Rule 406 | Penalty Shot(c) "A “Penalty Shot” shall be taken as follows: The puck shall be placed on the center ice face-off spot and on the instruction of the Referee, the player taking the shot will play the puck from there and attempt to score on the goalkeeper. Once the player taking the shot has touched the puck, it must be kept in motion towards the opponent’s goal line and once it is shot the play shall be considered complete." "It must be kept in motion towards the opponent's goal line." "It" is the puck, not the player.
In Europe most players are right-handed and play leftie. It is more common to have your dominant hand holding the stick, unlike Canada where is it more usual to have your dominant hand lower, since it is more of a shooting game in North America.
this move is really popular in floorball which is a big sport in finland, maybe thats where he got the inspiration, toe drags are really common in floorball shootouts
This is something you would see in floorball. Fairly popular sport in Finland and Sweden and most ice hockey players know how to play this as it is similar sport.
This move comes from floorball which is very popular in Finland and Sweden. I'd say most hockey players do a fair bit of floorball growing up and maybe even into their hockey careers.
Here in North America, this move is illegal in a shootout or a penalty shot, because at one point, the puck is moving backwards, but if someone manages to do it while keeping the puck moving forward at all time, then it is a good goal if the player scores
Hopefully he makes it back into the NHL at some point - moves and plays like that would make it hard to watch anything else AND because it's on the table, goalies would have to adjust thier game to account for it.
I started doing this move on the ice when I was just messing around at practice and got my goalie a couple times with it. I would never try this though in a game scenario even if I could do it 19 times out of 20.
Awesome f'n move. And big props to the goaltender to stay with the puck and force him wide. I'm both Swedish and a fmr. goalie, so . . . Also, I really wish the NHL would play on the international size rink.
Respect to that goalie for even being remotely close to potentially blocking that shot. If you look at it in slow motion, the goalies arm was actually really close to the puck right at the end there. I can't believe the goalie even had any idea where that thing was going let alone being that close. I say we got to give a lot of respect to that goalie. That shot was obviously unbelievably amazing even though it apparently missed. I was trying to figure out when he did the switch back from the front to the back of the hockey stick towards the end there right before he swooped it in. I'll have to slow down to see that because it was almost like a magic trick it happened so fast.
Personally I love the goalies reaction of just looking around afterwards as if saying, "What the F- just happened?"
Hes thinking, "if this is the future of the game, my career is fucked."
As a goalie I can feel for this guy, if soemthing like that is ever attempted on me imma just sit there like wtf
I love all goalies
I love this comment thread 🔥🤣
The goalie is saying, "What you just did is illegal."

That's incredible strenght for the wrists. Incredible balance too while skating full speed. This was impressive asf.
@@jerryk6530 And it's not full speed, not even close.
Yes it's pretty incredible to be able to balance while gliding slowly with your legs one meter apart.

@@bukelos2804 yess, and norway, switzerland, Latvia etc
@@bukelos2804 Yes! As a Finn I was hoping Czechia would win the world cup this year, they played some very entertaining floorball.
Gotta check more floorball then! I'm from Poland and I love how it is popular in the entire area of my country but not in Poland itself😅
The fact that he got SO much elevation on it that he actually missed OVER the net makes it even more impressive.
If you look closely, he actually slams the puck off the corner of the net. similar to where the mike leg lacrosse move aims at..
If I look closely...all I see is the stick. Lol. Hockey is flipping awesome but I can't watch it. My eyes are just too slow.
Yes, it's impressive to miss.
I think he hit the bar? In slow-mo it seems so.
Hartikainen said that he tried to do bar down but it just hit the bar
One of the best I’ve seen- I don’t know why it would be illegal. He kept moving forward without stopping. Makes it a legal play but who knows.
the puck must keep moving forward.
At least in NA that's the rule.
@@tchevrierlooked pretty clean to me.
@@tchevrier that’s odd the puck goes forward and back all the time in stick handling
I also think it would be a legal move

But. I had no idea he had this in him. And his wrists are clearly strong, it was not a weak shot with one hand either.
God dam!! I ain’t a hockey player and seeing that, that was like mixing figure skating with hockey. It’s insane in a good way.
That was a gnarly ass move! A lot of stick skills and wrist/forearm strength there.

Most lefty stick users are right handed so
In Europe most players are right-handed and play leftie. It is more common to have your dominant hand holding the stick, unlike Canada where is it more usual to have your dominant hand lower, since it is more of a shooting game in North America.
Keep up with the great content!
It helps with how lite and whippy modern sticks are. Try doing that with a good old Sherwood pmp 5030 and you're breaking your limbs.

yes probably
