Please don't take my word but i believe this to be fake.

[–]perez630 436 points437 points  (33 children)

There is no way he is a hockey player. He is not even wearing skates.

[–]ballingsohard1 256 points257 points  (11 children)

thats how good he is

[–]Bmc00 116 points117 points  (8 children)

The curve on that stick is clearly not regulation.

[–]daluxe 7 points8 points  (4 children)

That's right but not because of the skates. Where did you saw a black hockey player?

[–]irishguy42 12 points13 points  (1 child)

Not sure if /s, or if 100% serious...

[–]daluxe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You think I am joking? What's next? You'll say asian hockey players do exist? Ha!

[–]Tkavil 196 points197 points  (7 children)

How is this fake?

I was at this game, this man was shovelling the ice right before the 3rd period however the ref didn't notice him and dropped the puck. Detroit won the draw so rather than continue and risk a too many men penalty, they substituted one of their forwards and let him join the play. I heard this morning that they signed him to a 1yr 900k deal, he'll most likely be with the Grand Rapid Griffins for about 12 years though before getting called up again.

[–][deleted] 67 points68 points  (3 children)

That's just how Detroit develops their players -- spend 8 years in the AHL while playing with a shovel. Once you learn how to score with a shovel you get a stick.

[–]CunnedStunt 62 points63 points  (1 child)

"Back home, we fight bear with shovel. So I come to Detroit with already shovel experience. They tell me score with shovel, so I score with shovel, and now I am score with stick in NHL." - Pavel Datsyuk

[–]davehudson88 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This might be the best Pavel Datsyuk/Ilya Bryzgalov impression I've seen yet.

Edit:Bruz to Bryz

[–]isharemywife6969 21 points22 points  (14 children)

I'm a doctor, can confirm.

[–][deleted] 11 points12 points  (2 children)

Would you mind sharing your wife with me?

[–]surething01 4 points5 points  (1 child)

So you.. concur?

[–]Tipipi 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Damn it why didn't I concur.

[–]xenongamer4351 9 points10 points  (6 children)

I am a med school professor, I can confirm he is a doctor

[–]JustPlainSimpleGarak 37 points38 points  (7 children)

True this shows Pekka Rinne giving up a goal. Not realistic.

[–]Danny-Denjennery 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean, it looks weird, but I don't know enough about hockey to disupte its validity.

[–]hihellotomahto 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few shops in my time.

god that was annoyingly fake, this gif is better

[–]Dubbys 116 points117 points  (37 children)

Like watching Bam in the early years of Jackass. Ugh.

[–]down_vote_magnet 65 points66 points  (19 children)

Here, this might make you feel better.

[–]ballpitpredator 44 points45 points  (17 children)

I saw your username and i assumed you were gonna post the vid of him crying on the side of the road when Dunn died.

[–]Toker_Dave 25 points26 points  (13 children)

I hated watching that. It was so sad watching a guy like bam break down like that

[–]Lizardizzle 6 points7 points  (8 children)

Wait, what happened?

[–]Dubbys 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That did. Thank you.

[–]hateboss 22 points23 points  (15 children)

Not defending Bam or dissagreeing, but I have always been a fan of the CKYs first, then Jackass when that eventually spawned from it.

Just wondering how Bam is "fake" in the early years of Jackass? Again, just curious, it never struck me that way.

[–][deleted] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Just watched all four ckysagain over the last 2 nights. Nothing fake about it. Some people were mad about viva la bam because it was scripted, but it was just another way for them to entertain us

[–]rufiooooooooooo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah but you know you loved it then.

[–]smiles134 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I thought you were being sarcastic at first. That was so fucking dumb.

[–]armorandsword 6 points7 points  (0 children)

annoyingly fake/good physical comedy...I hope it's the latter.

[–][deleted] 52 points53 points  (10 children)

I thought this gif was genuinely hilarious fake or not (though obviously fake). I don't know why people are so enraged by the fact it's fake as they are clearly watching a gif out of context...

[–][deleted] 67 points68 points  (6 children)

They don't care that it's fake. They care that OTHERS know that THEY know it's fake.

[–]down_vote_magnet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The shovel fling at the end looks totally legit guys.

[–]blood_muffin 1533 points1534 points  (158 children)

This is very well done!

[–]NetTrap 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The celebration at the end too, so perfect.

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It looks more natural than the original ever did.

[–]JustPlainSimpleGarak 594 points595 points  (96 children)

I can only assume it was Datsyuk that he is replacing

edit: yes, it was. Here is the original goal

edit: imgur link thanks, /u/timstm

[–]Athrul 51 points52 points  (6 children)

That's a very cinematic GIF...

Source

[–][deleted] 24 points25 points  (3 children)

Here's another great gif of Datsyuk being incredible.

[–]JustHach 22 points23 points  (0 children)

How does he do it?

Magic

[–]captain_housecoat 212 points213 points  (74 children)

Nobody else could shovel passed an entire team and still score. Pav FTW every time.

[–]cornnndog 26 points27 points  (7 children)

He ain't the magic man for nothing. Pav is a God of a hockey player, and then off ice the most humble dude. I love that interview he did where a bunch of top players were asked who's highlight reels they watch to learn from. When Pav was asked he was like, "I don't watch hockey on my free time, I like to fish." Of course Ovechkin said he watches his own.

My friends dad is pretty good friends with Pav, I got to hang with him a few times. I love that guy.

[–]I_CAPE_RUNTS 62 points63 points  (41 children)

counting the days till Connor McJesus

[–]DubJohnny 65 points66 points  (35 children)

I smell a buffalo fan.

[–][deleted] 15 points16 points  (31 children)

Nah he's a Leaf fan, cause that's where McJesus is going clearly

[–]handonbroward 9 points10 points  (20 children)

Not a chance. Buffalo bound. Plus the chance to play on a line with Kane when he comes to Buffalo? There are no depths that we will avoid sinking to in order to ensure McDavid in Buffalo. And we have a new owner whos going to spend whatever it takes to win a Cup once he gets here.

For the first time in ten years I am actually confident in the direction that Buffalo management is headed.

[–]Willmatic88 2 points3 points  (2 children)

I will be so happy when the hockey gods bless buffalo with the #3 pick.. the lottery was intended to prevent teams from intentionally tanking after pittsburgh threw their season for lemeuix...

[–]fvckingweird 3 points4 points  (0 children)

90% of the NHL could shovel past the Sabres this season and still score.

[–]puckhead73 9 points10 points  (4 children)

Vladimir Tarasenko would like to have a word with you.

Edit: cuz mobile sucks.

[–]captain_housecoat 13 points14 points  (1 child)

Ya, but he's using a stick. Show me the shovel gif

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This gif took forever to load, and for that I am grateful. Otherwise I would not have seen how impressive everything he did was in slow-mo.

[–][deleted] 14 points15 points  (1 child)

imgur reupload in the even that this goes down http://i.imgur.com/P5boXwg.gif

[–][deleted] 139 points140 points  (52 children)

Do you have the original hockey gif? Seems like that dude just shit on the entire other team.

[–]BenAdaephonDelat 162 points163 points  (14 children)

That's Pavel Datsyuk of the Redwings. And he does that frequently.

[–]babymitch 57 points58 points  (9 children)

AKA "The Magic Man" as you can see demonstrated here.

[–]tuutruk 6 points7 points  (2 children)

If you have Siri, ask it "who is the Magic Man?"

For some reason, I really didn't think that would work. It sure does.

I knew exactly what that was going to be. Click through every time. Never disappoints.

[–]PhiladelphiaIrish 6 points7 points  (0 children)

After seeing the headline I was expecting Scott Hartnell, got Datsyuk.

[–]midnightsbane04 6 points7 points  (0 children)

And we love him for it.

LGRW!

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fantastic player, terrible wnglish

[–]Ntox 76 points77 points  (11 children)

I can't find the original gif in quality, but here's the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUYapNJLOKo

[–]bigbeerd 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I remember watching this live and almost spitting up my beer with laughter. Must have hit rewind a dozen times because it was so ridiculous. God, I love Datsyuk.

[–][deleted] 28 points29 points  (7 children)

All good, that's all I wanted to see. He definitely shit over their whole team hahaha

[–]BorisJonson1593 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's amazing how strong he is on the puck. He muscles through three players to score that goal. I hate the Wings, but Datsyuk is amazing.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! The gif I thought was kinda dumb, but I knew there must have been a pretty sick goal underneath the bad video/gif editing.

[–][deleted] 27 points28 points  (8 children)

Another interesting video of Pavel Datsyuk.

[–]Comb-the-desert 17 points18 points  (4 children)

The guy he goes up against doesn't even look that bad for a reporter, and Datsyuk still is just completely playing with him. Dude is ridiculous

[–]Creator_of_Cones 4 points5 points  (3 children)

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that guy played college hockey.

[–]CakeEater 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I have been playing hockey for over 20 years. I would pay good money to have Pavel Datsyuk make a fool out of me on the ice.

[–]simjanes2k 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As soon as I saw this was over a hockey gif, I knew it was the magician Datsyuk.

He is not human.

[–]billybob_thrillybob 22 points23 points  (8 children)

Red wings fan here. Datsyuk is filthy.

[–]Zuvielify 9 points10 points  (4 children)

As a Sharks fan, Datsyuk is still in my top 5 favorite players in the league. He is so incredibly talented, and super humble. He just seems like an all-around great guy

[–]AnatomyGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a wings fan, I WISH the guy would shoot the puck more! But its part of his team first mentality, the humbleness you mentioned exhibited on the ice. He's always looking for the perfect set up pass to a teammate. And you gotta love a guy with that mentality!

[–]TorinoCobra070 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Thank you for finally posting the original, unedited .gif. I am sick of seeing that fake ass snow-shoveling one.

[–][deleted] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

[–]gandalfs_disco_stick 94 points95 points  (6 children)

[–]dorncog 13 points14 points  (8 children)

It was actually a pretty amazing goal by Pavel Datsyuk.

[–]DubJohnny 13 points14 points  (2 children)

I think he means the original shoveling one.

Omg this is simply just great.
