St. Louis Blues players scale 49 stairs on their way from the locker room to the ice at Wrigley Field for the Winter Classic and while some player remain cautious, goalie Joel Hofer seems unbothered by the ordeal.

As a goalie I can confirm we are that crazy
Goalies are built different
These outdoor games need a 10 year break absolutely worn out
There’s a couple of rinks in UK with stairs down from the changing rooms to the ice pad like this… it might seem weird but coming down stairs in skates feels mega weird, maybe because the height difference between the bottom of your foot and the step, but I get why some of them are coming down them a bit shaky, I’m the same, feel like you’re going to fall and break your neck 🤣
Probably went to michigan
Yeah, their slates are flat, they are built different. It's different having 1ft of a blade touching the ground, vs .5 of an inch
That dude had to have had an injury or a fear of heights lol
Goalies are a different breed, but there skate blades are also flatter then normal skates
Goalies were chosen as the stalwart defenders gifted with powers beyond our comprehension
Rink at the university of Illinois has the locker rooms down a flight of steps. You get used to it.
ca va Texier sait descendre les escaliers en patin
That's a confident man right there.
If you face them outwards you won’t roll
Someone’s fallen down stairs wearing rollerblades before
So stupid
As a goalie, I can say we don't care at all😂
And ya ruined your edges…
Torpy walking like has never used steps before!!😂
Goalies are weird. – Shoresy
Why they didn’t lay rubber over the stairs knowing the players would have to walk down them is beyond me🤦🏻♂️
Backup goalie does backup goalie things 😂
Madhouse on Madison 2.0
😂
Probably not scared.. just tired as F
Goalies are just like that
Walking down stairs in skates going 2 at a time is just asking to snap an ankle
Let's Go Blues!!! Bennington is an animal when hes on, but Hofer has been solid and even better when the guys actually play Defense in front of him.
¿Por qué llevan pintura negra en los ojos, hermano? 😭😭
My locker room growing up was always down stairs its not that hard idk why they making look so hard
Yea but toropchenko taking like two three stairs at a time lol
Do goalies have wider blades on their skates or this dude just built that different?
Ski boots are similar in that it makes you walk way differently that normal. I’ve been skiing so long I walk faster in boots and way faster than everybody else skiing
