[Kes17Giroux28]

Headshot! +100 points

[DeadliestSoldier]

keep your teeth on the ball

[imfromkanada]

Your FACE goddammit!

[clash1024]

In the face. IN THAA FACE!!



[CassD26]

Way to stay in front of it... lol

[x30xSabresFan]

HAHA Did anyone hear the music in the back ground?

"RATHER FEEL PAIN THAN NOTHING AT ALL!"

[jhoncena804]

i know it's a scary moment in hockey but did anyone else laugh a bit when he fell back? cause i sure as hell did. i feel sorry for him but the way he fell was hilarious.

[MrDanglethensnipe]

The worst part about it is your ears ring

[KRYPTON1T3DD]

@MegaMexicanjesus

yes, thats what i said, it does hurt like hell.

[werdchester]

gotta give Smith credit. dude stood up pretty quick for a guy who just took a headshot from Bergeron. mad props

[obeNNN]

Thats a chuck Norris mask...

[08chazman08]

@obeNNN If it were a chuck norris mask the puck would have dropped out of mid air i

[wingsown8]

if that was chuck norris his old washed-up ass would have died

[KRYPTON1T3DD]

that hurts like hell.

[MegaMexicanjesus]

@KRYPTON1T3DD i can agrue with you im a goalie and that fuckin hurts like hell

[rockerpunk411]

did he get a nuke ?

[MrFootboul]

first blood !!!

[joshfaryn]

it was deflected too 0.56

[iEquitate]

Hey, it didnt' go in :P

[furball411]

this goalie is dead in the 60's or 70's

[SuperGonggong]

@furball411 no the old design was not only more stylish but more protective.

[furball411]

@SuperGonggong You sir are a fucking idiot

[SuperGonggong]

@furball411 well i was trying 2 bee foony but ur didnt think sa huh? u see u pointted out sumthing obvious captain obvious, of course the thin mask would kill em but you had to go and put ur 2 cents into everything dont you black asshole?

[OFFICALTHREEHALFS]

atleast he made the save....

[DevilishStopper30]

Anyone else notice Pain from Three Days Grace is playing after Smith got hit in the head? xD

[penguinlord992]

i like how the oilers players are calling for medical attetion too, just a show of respect ya know?

[MoneyMan8900]

I wonder if Terry Sawchuck could've took one of those. Anybody's guess. 

[chrislsnider]

@MoneyMan8900 just one

[MoneyMan8900]

@chrislsnider He had a pretty hard head

[ThunderHead72]

May I guess? I think he would have left on a stretcher at the very least. At worst he would have died within hours. The guys now shoot much harder than in Sawchuk's era and masks have improved exponentially since then (luckily for this guy), even the low end models, but as an aside you named one of my favourite goalies of all time!

[MoneyMan8900]

@ThunderHead72 One of my favorites too.

[Marreez]

ouch...

but yes, lucky for him that this wasn't in the 60's!

[TVBNHLWWE]

Bergeron is my hero.

[Iamyourboo2]

Who was the one who shot this? Is it Marc Andre Bergeron?

[Jigsaw3477]

when Brian Boucher had this happen he didn't give up a rebound :)

[NationalPro]

imagine if he didn't wear a helmet...

[666skateharder666]

lol this has happend to me a couple times and it was scary as hell, and it wasnt an nhl players slap shot either lol it sucks your ears ring and your kind of hesitant to get your body in the way of the puck for a couple minutes

[imfromcolorado]

@666skateharder666 i know i hate it to cuz it rattles the cage

[arandomperson240]

in the 60's, he would have been killed

[scimildoro35]

got a headshot

[MultiAlexlol]

Calis le tir de bergeron yen a dégommé plusieurs hahhahaha

[sports89man8]

bullseye!!!!!!!

[MrPenaable]

''one shot one kill,no luck just skill'' lol:D

[StNberg]

HAHAHAHA =D

[74blackout16]

hahahahahahaha that's awesome im gonna start saying that in CODMW2

[extrafrog]

lol BOOM HEADSHOT..oh and wat a save lol

[ominus011]

he missed a few weeks after this cuz the shot gave him a concussion.

[djens33]

@ominus011

no he didn't dumbass he played in the rest of the game too.

[ominus011]

He did finish the game. And by the way it Doctor Dumbass to you.

On his bio in the Tampa Bay Lightning website, which is also on Wikipedia, it states: "On January 4, 2007, Smith was hit in the head with a 100mph slapshot causing him to miss a few weeks with a concussion..."

BITCH YOU GOT OWNED!!!! WHAT NOW FAGGOT!!!

[OilersKickArses]

lol, wikipedia. not sayin its not true, its just funny how some1 wud use it as a refrence

[jof880]

Bergeron power osti que ce gars la lance des plombs.

[historylover63]

i feel bad for him

[0007123451]

imagine if this happened back when goalies didnt wear masks his head would be fucking gone or his face would be caved in

[Hiei2k7]

Wouldn't have stood right back up though. might had to carry him off...

Guarantee his ears were ringing for a while after that.

[Tobe6969]

Still likes to over embellish about....just like when we played minor hockey.

[henkissmart]

I dunno; I find it more of a focus point if I get hit in the mask and I'm having a bad game it kinda wakes me up; get's me back in the game. And if I'm having a good game I just shake it off.

[MegaReptiles]

Headshot

[Hiei2k7]

Mike Smith giving thanks to Jacques Plante for inspiring the Goalie Mask 50 years ago.

[Tabler8]

Why shouldnt fucking forward put stick in front of defencemen? Usually they tip the puck over the glass... wich is good..... It only hits somebody in the face 1 time in every 10000000 times, watch any game and see how many times a froward puts their stick in front of a defencemen's shot.

[goalieblues]

This is exactly why forwards shouldn't put their sticks in front of slapshots

[smartyz]

welcome to MONTREAL hahahahaha

jespere que le ti-bergeron va sortir cé gros plomb!

[aFxIPuLsE]

OUCH!

[MrPillowpants92]

Turco got the shit knocked out of him!!!!

[killerskillet]

that's not turco.

[MrPillowpants92]

yah sorry about that i didnt realize it was smith, i commented before i saw the name at first i saw the golden pads and immediately thought it was turco

[surfer418]

same hereit rattles you a lil and makes you think about what if you didnt have a mask

[reckokicker]

holy shit! that was gnarly sounding!

[TheMaxAttack]

@ thenextKovalev

Agreed

[thenextKovalev]

I like how the oilers players were calling the doctor person over. Shows they care, hahah

[kiwiboy35]

made the save

[TheGames4Me]

ouch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[blueliner24]

One of the scariest things in hockey is being in front of the net, and never hearing the shot. Or seeing the shot, suddenly it hits a stick or a skate, and the next thing you know it's coming right at your head.

[wuteveritakes06]

what a save!

[MartyTurco093]

lol exactly he made the save

[MrPillowpants92]

sorry i ment to press the like option ma bad

[Jsouthwell2006]

maybe my team mate was right, he said i could get a presure cut from using a players helmet with a cage on it, maybe if i play AGAin ill stick to my fiberglass mask

[Puuccers]

Headshot!

[vezina808]

HAHAHAHA!!

[Kraedun]

my friends, that is not just quick thinking , that is using your head(literally)

[cheiftan47]

Headshot!

[txhockey26]

That wasn't the same night - Turco was in net that night against Edmonton where Stefan missed the empty netter.

[oilpats]

It was the same night. Smith finished the period and then Turco came out for the third.

[bigIslesfan]

Man That would hurt like hell

[dgkallday4u]

ha i remember watching this

[finnhockeykid]

BOOM headshot!!!!

[vancouvercanucks23]

@finnhockeykid did you just play COD when you wrote this?

[finnhockeykid]

@vancouvercanucks23 pretty much

[vancouvercanucks23]

@finnhockeykid haha ok then

[HockeySeanX]

haha when you get hit in the face it stuns you, last time i got hit it didnt really hurt me because i got a good helmet but the sound of it hitting you makes it so you cant hear and the watter off the buck blinds you.

I also like how the oilers player called the coach over because he saw the goaile was hurt. good sportsman ship haha.

[beastlygoalieman39]

when i get hit it gives me a headache

[HockeySeanX]

my old helmet wouldnt sit tight on my face so with the puck would hit my mask, it would feel like a hard slap in the face.

[coley888]

week lol nah my last helmet ahd a massive dint in the front bars from the same thing but i play field hockey. my helmet is pretty much the same.

[demovan14]

when that hit him he was probaly thinking holy shit what a shot

[jimmyluu101]

he looks so mad & when u see mike skates off he talks to # 47 at 1:47 who took the shot can any1 lip read hahahah

[100dollarbillls]

wow he was lucky that easily could off broke through the mask and hurt him

[Urb4n0Ninj4]

...Ok how could EASILY have broken through? First off, the cage is metal, and they are designed in a fashion that the thickest part of the bars face outward (think of an oval, how it's thicker one way than the other...the thickest part is horizontal for protection, but the leaves more room for the goalie to see) 2nd, these masks are DESIGNED for this sort of severity, and 3rd...if it were "easy" this hard, flush to the face shot, WOULD have gone through.

[TheHatyk]

dude, look at the shot Nabokov got on his mask, the medal didn't do jack! It broke Nabokov nose. So yeah, he was lucky cause it can break. (look on youtube for Nabokov takes a hard shot off the mask) you will find it

[Urb4n0Ninj4]

Clearly you are missing the point. The metal did it's job by absorbing the impact...It takes a shit ton to make metal just "snap" and goalie masks are designed to make sure that should the be hit flush in the face, it does as little damage as possible... what you're arguing dude is like saying if a goalie got hit square by the shot in his chest and got a hairline fracture on his sternum, the chest protector isn't doing it's job, when without it, his ribcage would have shattered, you dig?

[TheHatyk]

I understand your point put they aren't the best, that is what i wanted to say, there is still some improvement to make. Mask are the most complicate things to do because they need to be tough and protect the face but the goalie needs to keep at good vison. The equipment is to prevent injury but some are invitable.

[Urb4n0Ninj4]

yeah, but where it hit him was the one weakest point in the mask. the catseye cage only has a single metal bar between the eyes, if it hit him square like that anywhere else the damage would have been far less significant because there's more protection anywhere else, but there's always tradeoffs...traditional cages can obstruct vision but add protection, catseyes trade protection for vision, that'sl ife.

[DXBryan100]

stop the video at 0:24 to see the dent in a better view and look at the mask!

[berrysncream121]

wow. did you see how dented his mask was?? That would have hurt so bad if the puck got through to his face somehow!

[SabresHockeyFan1993]

It does hurt, especially if you don't see the shot, but the worst of it is the sound, if it hits the cage, its manageable, but if it hits the side or the top, the sound just blows your ears out, painful

[mysticanimation22]

I'm with ya, had one go off the side of my head and my ears were ringing!

[ScrewFearMe]

think about if he didnt have protection just at that spot....he'd surely loose like all of his front teeth... scary... i had an operation not long ago and its not fun... tho im no goalie..but i wanna be one

[mysticanimation22]

It would of been a whole lot worse than just missing a few teeth. That kind of shot can easily fracture a skull no matter where it hit. Just think about that girl who was killed in the stands when she was hit by a runaway slapshot. Thats why they have the nets around the boards. If you haven't seen it check out the clip when Nabokov's mask broke from a slapshot and the puck hit him in the face.

[Urb4n0Ninj4]

Now think about how awful it would be if we still used those god forsaken plaster masks...shit I still have the one my dad used...how anyone was crazy enough to think "Hey, this mask will protect me from a puck by sitting flush against my face!" I'm glad technology has gotten to where it has...

[NastyNate099]

well those are better than nothing at all like how they used to play

[mysticanimation22]

Agreed! but think, back then players didn't shoot that hard plus the sticks had a flat blades instead of curved ones. Even when the curved ones came around they still didn't shoot as hard as that shot. But you gotta love how things evolve.

[dizman19]

what u think he said to bergeron?

[TassellTime]

BOOM HEADSHOT

[swordlord44]

i've got hit in the mask with a puck it kinda hurts but wit a hard slapshot from souray or chara i would of snapped my neck.

[MilinThraKWoW]

[sofistafunk]

[Batista1318]

[jordansme1234567]

[fowter1]

[Diminus66]

[Hockeyguy519]

hey, he made the save!

[dumbblondie1987]

Dj Jean - The launch

[jrhawk123]

What is the name of the techno song at the begging of the video?

[Wordlifetn97]

the same thing happened to Nabokov this past season against the NY Islanders I think. One of the wires in his cage dented and broke off giving him a huge cut. i hope i never take a shot off the face like that

[etid77]

god damn

[StandingTofu]

lol turco as backup

[mApLeLeAfs4EVA]

thats why they cost so much ;)

[metzboi523]

my hel met would have been in a million pieces

[fowter1]

probably not dude but yeah lol pro helms are like intense

[25jw611]

I hit a goalie in the mask once.He was out for the rest of the game.

[daytona300]

ive been hit with a 101mph shot in the cateye cage i almost broke my nose

[Shumeshi]

did you hit him with your stick and then finished of with an uppercut?

[danicatim]

[fevat]

[WindsorSpitfiresRock]

lol

[dagongshow]

lost a couple brain cells on that one

[tincup90]

well made mask

[dubie3529]

note to all u rangers fans, that is how mike richter had his career ended, a puck to the mask, he had major concussion, so that does hurt

[Lundqvistfan]

I thought it was a different injury. I hope that doesn't happen to Lundqvist.

[dubie3529]

lol it may with the way he soccer style heads that shit sometimes when hes mad at himself at the end of the game, the only other goalie ive seen purposely block the puck with the helmet was roman chechmanek from philly and LA

[Lundqvistfan]

Lundqvist blocks the puck with his head too.

[dubie3529]

thats what i just said, him and chechmanek do that

[macdconn]

I WAS AT THAT GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GBobtehPwnzor]

Was this not the game where Stephan missed the open net and ended up going to a shootout aswell?

[TexHillP40]

I love mike smith horrible trade for richards JUSSI AND SMITTY?????WHY???

woo theres nothing like gettin a puck in the mask if your not a goalie i let you know its no fun when they say it distributes the shock it fuckin does
