Also, if a goalie makes a mistake, 95% of the time it’s a goal against, unless somehow their defenceman saves them or the person shoots wide on an open net or something. If a defenceman makes a mistake and gets walked around, they still have their goalie to protect them. If a forward misses an open net, you don’t have a point against you, the score just remains the same. Any mistake a player makes can be recovered by any of the other five guys on the ice, but a mistake by a goalie often results in a goal against, and in lyons case, a playoff loss because of it.

Lyon played great, Bruins are an insane team. Cant put that on the wildcard goalie.

As a goalie everyone on the ice can make a mistake besides you. As a goalie if you make a mistake, it’s a goal, or at best? They hit the post. If you watch players on the ice, they will make 3? 9? 18? Mistakes in a game. With nothing positive to their name. Bad pass? Doesn’t catch a pass? Misses the net completely? Really anything. Errors are errors. But that same standard isn’t held for players to goalies. Goalies are expected to play perfect. Goalie’s definitely have the hardest job on the team.

I played goalie for quite a while, not at the same level as Alex Lyon but still. Sometimes you get a game where you only get 20 shots but they’re all high-chance scoring opportunities. You can make a ton of great saves but if you fuck up, everyone remembers it. It’s a tough job but that’s why goalies like it. High risk, high reward.

As a goalie I believe it’s the hardest position and my reason for this is that the margin for error is so little you make one small mistake and it’s a goal. You get scored on it’s your fault. The physical strength you need to make 50 saves a night is 1 thing but mental strength you need after getting scored on is a way different thing.

So awesome watching you guys on a network program (main TSN program I used to watch Jay and Dan on back in the day)after seeing you guys from quizzes! (Mainly DZ and Rissa,) I'm somehow proud to see you guys on the screen when I watch. Love the content! Go Devils!!!!

Im hitting all the buttons cause I love you guys and I’m enjoying these little short takes. Wish you had your own channel though 😅

Me: Someone should oppose Zee to make this video a bit more watchable Luca: “I think Golf..” Me: Wait not like that

This is a cool video format! I like the narration breakdown by Z transitioning into a mini podcast

Great job, Zee!

If you're looking for another great example of a team that got carried by their goalie to a game 7, go check out how Thatcher Demko got the affectionate nickname "Bubble Demko" in the Canucks round 2 series against the Vegas Golden Knights... dude faced like 120 shots over 2 games and only let 2 past him... once Markstrom got hurt, everyone thought the Canucks were sunk, Thatcher Demko nearly stole the Canucks way to the western conference final that year. I really do think he's another vezina caliber guy, he just needs the team in front of him to do something about it

imagine mario, gretsky and sakic were around to lite these goalie's xmas trees today......? not even close

This video is a Beauty

I saw the talent in Ulmark in Buffalo. I picked him last year in my draft after he signed with Boston. I was one year off. I took Georgiev this year and he had a solid year. Started off shaky, but got better as the season went on. As an Oiler fan, I was totally floored when they signed Campbell. I did not and do not see him as even a back up in this league. I was hoping they would go for Samsonov.

So many slept on Ullmark in Sabres. Just look at his triple save last season where he got injured. Insane saves that nobody spoke of outside Buffalo city limits. He did play behind the worse defense in the league which was obvious and should be taken into account - exactly what Bruins did.

Hey I love your stuff folks! If you could hop on zoom and give us a weekly playoff podcast, that would be so sick.

Nice goal

Goalies are probably the most important player like 99 out of 100 cause the Goalie are the only thing to keep out a 6oz puck out of the net, but Goalies are the most underrated player but there the only player that makes the crowd go wild

That’s why we love it

Did anyone who watches that game see that Lyon may be the only goalie that NEVER closes his glove when he makes a save it’s so strange.

When the B's signed LU I definitely said "ehhhh I don't know about this." I was wrong

saying "goalies are the reason your team loses a lot of the time" feels like a stretch to me

I'm thinking catcher is still a harder position than goalie. Similar concept, but you also control the defense, call pitches, remember scouting reports, execute gameplans, catch hundreds of pitches, all while still having to bat and run the bases.

Thank you for making this video. Perfect explanation, let’s go cats

QB, Hockey Goalie & Baseball pitcher. The hardest positions in sports.

100 percent the hardest job

Ok so I am a goalie and like it is so stressful but it’s not always our fault because our team because they let us down sometimes but when you let in a goal it is tuff but you learn that if you let in a weak one its ok because it’s not always your fault saying that some times it is but you got to learn that And also goalie is one of the tuffets positions but even if you good or bad

and also.. dont sign goaltenders to 10 million dollar contracts.

Seriously as a goalie our job is to get hit with pucks. And we shouldn't feel bad if we get scored on because it has to get through everyone before us

lyon was great. it’s easier to win if the players scores some goals aswell. it’s not like he gave up 6-7 goals

It’s playoffs, keep your head up and expect guys to finish their hits especially on a top player, everyone is finishing checks this time of year. What was the actual time between the puck leaving his stick and the hit being made?

The only position where success is expected 92% of the time and 20,000 people celebrate or bemoan your every failure. You also, to some degree, are responsible for every loss and have no way to make up for mistakes.

Poor Jarry

This man literally said golf 💀

Hardest job I’m not sure, but most stressful probably

Dudes going to hate on Ullmark? Couldn’t it be the Goalie Bob just does an amazing job when he gets a talented, even above average goalie? Maybe Ullmark isn’t _THIS_ good but he may just be a talented dude who’s found the right coaching. I’m betting he lowers his career GAA pretty substantially by the end of his time in Boston - hopefully a long time from now bc he continues being awesome lol

This has aged well😊

I am a goalie and it is tough

Quarterbacks defintely have the hardest job, but goalies are defeinitely up there.

Pens fans are already reeling don’t remind us 😂

Maybe MLB Pitcher because it takes 1 mistake to lose the game for your team. One missed pitch and that ball is crushed.

This dude just said playing Golf is the toughest.. Yeahh maybe if you're Chubbs

A football quarterback has a harder job I think if your talking about all sports. But I would put a goalie right underneath QB

Bruins somehow lost to panthers in game 5 4-3 in OT

They should retire #34 for John Vanbiesbrouck. The ONLY REASON they ever got to a cup.

Being a goalie is number 2 as toughest position in sports behind football quarterbacks. I don’t even watch much football, but it’s not even close, I mean look at the Avalanche last year with an average goalie. When was the last time a Super Bowl winner was a mediocre quarterback?

Man how can you even look that guy in the eyes knowing he thinks golf is the toughest job in sports lmfao....

Hardest job in sports is QB in the NFL.

All time bottom tier take from luka at the very end on golf. *jesse impression* That’s a joke

its crazy as a goalie because there is no in between. if you make a bunch of insane saves you are labeled amazing, that you have no business making those saves. but then if you dont you suck. but i thought we had no business making those saves? if youre not an x factor u suck

GOLF IS HARDER???? GOLF????????????????
