Popping A Goalie's Water Bottle Then Drinking Out Of It Might Be The Funniest Celebration In Hockey History
There are few things I love more than watching a goalie's water bottle get popped off the back of the net after a player finds twine.
Unfortunately, at least in the NHL, they've got those new-fangled bottle holders on the back of nets that deprive us — the bottle-pop-loving public — of seeing bottle pops.
However, you can still see some great bottle pops at the lower levels, and there's a video I stumbled across that features what looks like a high school player turning a bottle pop into one of the best celebrations I've ever seen.
Unfortunately, I couldn't gather a whole lot of info about the video you're about to see, but it was posted by TikTok user Brady Films
As I said, it looks to me like a high school game and you can see the shooter put one top shelf. That beauty of a shot gave us a good ol'-fashioned bottle poppin'.
However, it was when he took a swig of the popped bottle that stood out.
The level of hilarious disrespect on display is unbelievable. I mean, he knew immediately that he was going to need to take a seat in the sin bin for that.
I saw this mentioned in the comments of the video, and it's completely true, but how did none of the opposing players jump on that due for a celebration like that?
If I was that goalie and saw my bottle get popped and sipped out of, and my teammates did nothing about it, we'd be having a chat in the locker room.
It's also funny because, in my experience, goalies hate it when you mess with their bottles. When I was in high school we had a goalie who kept his bottle on top of the net and one day at practice someone clobbered it with a shot. This dude went off and yelled at the rest of the team not to shoot at his water bottle.
So guess where everyone aimed after that?
Correct, right under the crossbar; directly at the bottle.
So, while it may not have pleased the goalie who got scored on, this celebration brought me a lot of joy.
God, I love seeing bottles get popped…
