Is this the filthiest shootout move ever?

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!

Personally I love the goalies reaction of just looking around afterwards as if saying, "What the F- just happened?"

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.

[matsslettenlarsen]

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.

[waynegretzkyhimself]

The fact that he got SO much elevation on it that he actually missed OVER the net makes it even more impressive.

[mrborgeusborg]

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".

that is probably the slickest move ever, the datsyuk backhand drag was super smooth, but this is the best. so cool.

This is on god the most unique shootout attempt I’ve ever seen

[THRDPRSON]

glad to see you covering hockey outside the NA, from time to time. :) keep it up, love your work on this channel!

[GreggThorpe]

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.

That's incredible strenght for the wrists. Incredible balance too while skating full speed. This was impressive asf.

[drumdrumjimmmy]

Even the goalie gave the guy a respect stare

[Janeckiy]

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.

[mikerowaveoven]

That's incredible :O The most impressive attempt I've ever seen :O And imagine, if it was a goal, that would have been undescribable

[mralec]

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)

[HearMeOutGuy]

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

[PixelPlay]

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..

[MrJayehawk]

Don't care that he didn't score - it's incredible that he actually got the shot off.

[BundaFiend]

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

[OneEyedKeys]

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.

Best shoutout move I’ve seen in a long time
