Can I please borrow a tape to tape the game?

I'd add the next step which is a one timer.

I always thought it was funny that "Unconscious" is also a term to describe this as well xD

Could add ten bell save as well

Way back there was a rule that a goalie would get a two-minute penalty for leaving his feet to make a save. Eventually one of the owners realized what a dumb rule that was, and argued to repeal it. Some of the other owners asked what he was proposing as a replacement rule. Could a goalie go down to his knees but not put weight on his hands? What would be the new limit? The first owner answered off-the-cuff "He can stand on his head for all I care". With that he simultaneously won the argument, and created a new hockey phrase.

Just don't get slewfooted by the netminder

Since goalie is such a team/system dependent position "standing on his head" is often used very sloppily or faulty to any goalie who just put up a statistically good performance, notwithstanding how the actual stats actually came about.

Undressing doesnt have to do with clothes, it means you embarrassed them so bad they'll probably be benched (not dressed to play)

@@idiotidiot5821 yes but people in hockey get more explicit when they state a player got their jock strap in the stands or rafters. Referring to them being "undressed"

@@soadfan1016 Yah, "That d-man left his jockstrap at the blue line" would be fairly unintelligible if you didn't know the "undressed" idiom.

Saucer pass:Wow I had no idea that's what it meant. Mind blown. I assumed it was just how you flicked the puck. 200 foot player I'd argue is something you'd want to figure out while watching. It's a fun term to figure out while watching in context of a player.

Never heard the saucer pass one. 200-foot game, yeah. But I hear it called "north-south game" a lot.

p.kane is the king of the saucer.

I don’t think that is very unique to hockey, there’s a lot of chirps in other sports like football basketball and even other sports

Oh and listen at 18:07

What about good ''wheels'' bro? My little brother's friend once said that to me in a game of street hockey

Best way to get your opponent off their game is to really focus in practice, try to get better for an extended period of time and you will impress yourself. Don’t let the chirps of your own teammates and “friends” get ya down, they’re not gonna like seeing someone excel better than they are sometimes, and they may not understand why you try like you do, because they do not have the same goals, or haven’t thought it out. Growing up, you guys are gifted this opportunity to have ice time, equipment bought for you usually, and most don’t have to work a job, which trust me, is more draining than school most of the time. Keep your head on straight, work hard, be consistent, and be respectful. It’ll go a long way for ice time, point totals, and coaches will notice with time, and you may even earn a C or A based on what you’ve put in and what you get out. It is a great feeling when someone recognizes your hard work, but it takes what I said, hard work, time, and respect. All the best guys. I really hope you decide to take advantage of what’s in front of you.. many do not. Most what separates nhl players from the rest of us is just what I said. When you become 23-25 you will have the body, it will come with that hard work and time, patience is key, enjoy your time, but please do not take it for granted. You could help many people in the future by putting in effort while you’re young and healthy. If you can afford a nutritionist for a week to learn from, and even a personal trainer for cardio and strength purposes, I suggest it. If you cannot, I’d happily help with nutrition as this part can make a huge difference.

@@danicktardif6294 the term chirp is unique to hockey/canadians. Other sports just call it trash talking. No one in the states that doesn't follow hockey would have no idea what you mean be chirp

I'd add upstairs for when you shoot towards the top corner of the net. It's particularly useful for understanding the role of a goalie/how shots end up in the net.

I've heard just "the office" referring to one player's favorite area to be when he scores goals. If Gretzky's office is behind the net, then Ovechkin's office is just at the top of the faceoff circles.

Ovi also has his office term

@@paolabelan8211 first one to have an "office " was Gretzky, its the most well known

@@bobbyhulll8737 of course! I was just adding office term. But of course it was Gretzky’s first (my dad talked about the great one a lot although we lived in a zero hockey country)

Hmm I call that a piercing shot. I'm probably the only one to call them that, though.

@@ozma6918 never heard it called that

@@RevanBC might be just me then 😅

That would be a puck that has eyes for the net

Said no hockey player ever

He can't even show highlights without copyright issues. Imagine if he could simply do that.

@@dixonhill1108 that would be awesome if he could breakdown a play with the actual footage

@@dixonhill1108 No kidding. Shannon with highlights would be epic.

@@masonbechtol5312 If the league knew what they were doing they should of given him some sort of deal with the Kraken, make him the Cascadia Hockey Guy.

I started watching hockey about five or six years ago and I wish I knew this terminology back then 😅

Agreed Tad. It is often useful to long-time fans too, since the terminology keeps evolving! Hehe. 😉😁

That’s the sweet spot

Absolutely love to see it

That’s what happened to me before the 2020 playoffs. I was an average fan and then I started watching thg and I learned so much. Welcome to the club! You’ve come to the right place!

Welcome aboard - that's step #1. Step #2 is to find your team[s].

@@TheManny717 Florida Panthers fan for life

@@Mutitty oof. Lets go bolts!!! ⚡️⚡️ it’ll be an interesting rivalry

I always wander that for baseball. He hit opposite homerun and im think opposite to what ?

@@jaymielee1110 in baseball it's opposite to their handedness

That's one I'm sure confuses new fans

@@tjbach8213 That's like in bowling, what they call a "Brooklyn Strike". If you're a right handed bowler, you're trying to get the ball to hook into the 1-3 pins. If you mess up and you hook too much you get it into the 1-2 pins, which can result in a disaster, but sometimes, if you're lucky, you get a strike anyway, and they call that a "Brooklyn". With lefties, it's the opposite. You try to get it in the 1-2 pocket.

I always assumed it was meant to be a broadcast thing. Short side = the side where the benches and cameras are, far side the inverse.

Andre "Red Light" Racicot.

Also Sal “Red Light” Messina

In the States, we have a term called, "getting mushed". It's kinda like that. Without the gloves. Bare-handed. Right in the face. LOL!

Pretty sure that's a "stink glove" ... a "facewash" is when you drag your glove on the ice and pick up some snow/water before performing the old stink glove...

Hmmm face wash to me is when the goalie stops a puck from afar, then the opponent just brakes hard in his face to send snow across his mask. It's either disrespectful or intentional to piss off your opponent, and almost always draws up a scrum.

@@ozma6918 That's a "Snow Shower"

It's interesting to see that this term has different interpretations for different people. I suspect that's due to the inherent flexibility of slang.

You got Kronwalled

6 and 7 hole are the armpits

Ohhhhhhh. So that's why Sorokin was tapping his stick during a power play vs the Rangers in their preseason game. It's makes sense now 😆

@@mosheep Yep. And it's important for the goalie to do this because obviously the skaters can't take the time to look at the clock while the goalie usually can. Here's one of my favorite examples of what can happen when a player steps out of the box unguarded: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z9ORZdmKnLiWkZ8.html&ab_channel=SPORTSNET

To add to that, "barn" itself refers to a hockey rink or arena... some of the first indoor hockey rinks ever were inside converted barns in Nova Scotia, which is probably where the term comes from.

94 you mean?

"Knuckle Puck" a la Mighty Ducks

its knuckle puck time

NICE! "Top Shelf" ("Where mom keeps the cookies"). A goal in the upper part of the net.

I always heard it used for the aftermath of a heated scrum,where everyone's pushing and shoving. Gloves and helmets are coming off,sticks are dropped,etc.

Like didn't they teach you this in school lol?

I like that it's a Flyers fan mentioning this. XD

Piestanzi Punchup.

💯! Great example. I’ll remember this glorious series for a long long time.

Toronto choking is inevitable.

People are going to know about "Choke" since it applies to all sports or pretty much anything really.

Backhand shot too and its quite odd to hear Shannon saying that hockey fans are not hostile towards new fans learning terms. I noticed it in the car scene and pretty sure it happens everywhere

I'm not a Detroit fan, but I loved seeing that one on the board!!!

Same man, it was hard to understand but thankfully I understand it now

@Eddy Edwards good for you. Very nice. Me too, I started watching in 7th grade which was the 1979-80 season when the WHA teams came into the league, Quebec, Hartford, Edmonton and Winnipeg (feels like I am missing a team?)

Averying - Dropping all pretense of civility and just covering the goalie's face with your gloved hand.

"Dirty areas" - offensive players often have to (largely figuratively) fight to get to the area in front of the goalie in order to screen the goalie or deflect the puck. "Bad goalie" - an alternate name for screening, where you're trying to block the goalie's view while also trying to allow the puck a clear path into the net.

Not just near the end of the game! "Delayed penalty" - after a penalty is committed, play continues until there's another reason for stopping play, or the penalized team gains possession* of the puck. Because of this, when a goalie sees a penalty called against his opponent, he'll leave the ice so his team can have an extra skater during the "bonus" penalty time. The penalized team can only score if the other team puts the puck into their own net, so there is very minimal risk in doing so. *gains possession is defined pretty loosely. It's also frequently referred to as "touching up." If the goalie makes a save, even though they touch the puck, they don't have any sort of real possession of the puck. Likewise, if a skater blocks a shot and it just bounces off him, it doesn't count as having possession.
