NHL Shots That Hurt The Goalie

NHL Shots That Hurt The Goalie! Most of these were stingers and majority didn't leave the game

[brocklee]

Most common shooters that hurt goalies: weber and carlson
most common goalies that gets hurt by shooters: bishop bishop and bishop

[jennaschwinna]

This is just a compilation of Bishop getting hurt.
Poor guy never got a break

[derps]

as a former goalie myself, i can easily say that getting a puck right to the neck, even with a neckguard, is one of the scariest things that can happen. your throat just instantly swells up, and it feels like you can't swallow, and when you try to? it feels like you just chugged a hot chocolate fresh off the pot without cooling it down. that's with a regular slapshot in a lower tier league... i can't even imagine what it'd feel like taking a weber shot in that area.

Still mind blown that the refs continued play after Bishop got hurt.

[Rob.Brown]

After watching this and watching hockey for years, you will never be able to tell me goalies aren't psychopaths. Solid puck being shot at upwards of 100mph and thinking yeah I'll stop that no problem is insane :0

[GamingGiant]

As a former goalie, seeing the play go on and a goal count 6 seconds after Bishop went down in the first clip pissed me off so much. I would’ve lost it on the ref…

[golfdude]

Ben bishop seems like the most injured player in the nhl. He showed up too much in this video and I’ve seen him injured too many times just warming up

[trollinbastard]

I love the clip from Jacques Plante’s injury: “a common incurrence”
As the crowd boos and the trainer is trying to convince him to stay on ice and a referee is following in the player’s room to see if Plante isn’t faking it to win or lose a bet.

Players at that time hired people to bet against them, their teams, or others to win waay more money than the poor salaries they had.

Most players at that time had part jobs, Maurice Richard himself was a welder before and during his first years in the NHL.

I was hoping Jack Edwards would use his classic line "You're going to stop the game for a guy who's still concious?" when Tukka Rask went down

[jordanmitchell]

in that first clip, the fact that play wasn't called dead immediately and several seconds later a goal is scored while the goalie is still laying on the ice in clear pain and the goal counted is unbelievable

Hardest shot I've ever faced playing goalie was in the upper 80's from a teammate and let me tell you the fear when I'd see him wind up. I can't imagine the 90s and over 100 mph shots these guys are taking.

[JacquelynLaRonde]

I was a medic in Moncton (NB, AHL league) in the 80's - we were watching the teams warm up before the first, the home goalie got hit in the throat (before the protectors were popular) and he drops cold ... doctor calls for the stretcher and 2 of us respond with neck supports and such while the third gets the bus (ambulance) ready. As we are strapping the goalie to the board, I hear a noise over my shoulder as I hear a slapshot ... and the visitors goal (again in warmup) drops. I get the arena security on our radio and that we need a second bus ... thankfully both were ok after xrays at the local hospital and we had a relatively quiet night.

Watching these clip vids remind me of soo many of these stories - as an alternate program player (for high school age to get some AHL experience occasionally) and as a medic for the same team and arena.

Bishop took a lot to his body and it is a shame how he was forced to retire, he was a great goalie

[jake]

3:03 Thibault actually catches the Al MacInnis shot. But it was blasted so hard that it broke his hand, went through the glove's webbing, and into the net. That's the kind of thing you tell people and they assume you must be exaggerating.

[FHL-Devils]

I've always wondered what Kari Lehtonen could have been if he wasn't drafted by the Thrashers. His first 5 seasons (with Atlanta) were .953, .906, .912, .916, .911.
In his NHL career, he has NEVER has a season lower than .900. 649 games.
Yet he's not even talked about in conversations about really good goalies.

[polperie]

loved the collection of older and newer footage, really shows how the game progressed without even trying

[jebova]

When I played high school hockey, we had one goalie that for some unknown reason always ONLY wore a "regular" cup and not a goalie's cup. One day at a practice, a guy ripped a shot at him and it actually shattered the cup. Goalie decided to start wearing the proper gear after that one.

[chrishughes]

Freaking miracle no goalies were killed before the advent of the face mask. That should have been the fastest invention in world history.

[waybous]

3:03 The shot that scared the NHL.
MacInnis shoots a 104MPH with a wooden stick and broke the middle finger of the goalie. They had to put in a new goalie and the Blues ended up winning and scoring something like 7 goals on the new goalie. I remember that game like it was yesterday.

[nutrock]

Well evidently Carlson likes to bully poor Mrazek. On another note, seeing Crawford in bad shape like that kills me
