Could you do it?

Nah, this is an asinine challenge. It's like that guy who kicked the 50-yard field goal at the argo game, except he'd need to kick FIVE fifty yarders, in TEN seconds...there's NO chance. If he makes even 1/3 of the shots, I'll be impressed.

If they're smart they'll use the old 1-2-3 method to make sure their pucks aren't interfering with each other.

10 goals from center ice (87 feet from the net) out of 30 shots shouldn't be that difficult, if these guys have any ability with a stick whatsoever.

The million will be damn near impossible. He's got a fractional bit more than a second to fire each puck from the opposite blue line (104 feet away), and 15/20 have to go in the net. I doubt even an NHLer could pull that off, given ten tries at it.

I'd say the truck for Hall is a lock, anything else is gravy.

I think this is definitely doable. He needs to get in a rythym to have any chance though.

Hopefully he has some autistic tendencies.

I'd take the bet if I got to shoot, but betting on someone I've never seen hold a hockey stick...no thanks.

The guy played triple A hockey. I'd take the bet on him before I'd take it on you OR myself.

Gino Odjick played in the NHL...I bet I'd have a better shot at it then him.

i was on a plane once with gino odjick. he got up to go to the bathroom, and proceeded to walk his head directly into a tv monitor that was hanging down over the middle of the aisle. i don't think he even felt it though. true story.

and i'd take digital over gino too.

I laughed out loud, quite hard in fact.

Just a reminder that this happens tonight during the Flames game.

Daniel Sedin tried it, and only got 4 in. I hope this guy brought his laser sights.

He got 14!!!

What a bad beat.
digitalmonkey
I'd rather get none than 14. Brutal!

Ugh... there was one that hit the inside of the post and bounced just past the other post... he was literally like 2 mm away from $1,000,000.

I'm assuming they got 15 as a group from centre ice easily?

They had 14 after the first two. It was easy.
