In episode 1 of Above Average Joe, GQ writer Clay Skipper tries to answer the question: is it really that hard to stop a pro-grade slap shot? But first, he has to learn how to ice skate…and put on his gear…and not flop around like a fool. Join Clay as he takes in this challenge with help from a doctor, skating and hockey coaches, Stanley Cup champion Chico Resch, former NHL player Anson Carter and even Olympic figure skater Adam Rippon.

1:25 I thought it said joe pavelski and I’m like no way that joe pavelski!
my team hockey goalie does better
I love this ice skating rink pls go there again I would love to meet you
I could score on him easy
Omg that dudes name is joe pavelski😂😂
Shea Weber slap shot would of scared you
Why would they send a guy on the ice who CAN'T skate with no helmet? 4:10 <smh>
"Ugh watching this person who is practically 100% new at hockey try to do hockey things that I'm better than him at is so r/cringe!!!! hes a poopy stupid head for not being get while i am!!!"
Yall gotta chill like fr he is not a pro and when understand that yall Canadians would do it better but I think the video was still great it was entertaining
clay skipper is a noob
98mph weak as piss i would stop shot in field hockey going faster than that.
Its Anson Carter. Saved you 20 mins 😉
16 yea old goalie here just nearly cried watching the pucks almost kill his knee
many all star pro hockey players cannt do a 98 mph slapshot. 2 minutes of research would have answered this question.
Can an average guy hit a major league fastball? No
Can an average guy tackle an NFL running back? No
Dumb video.
Before I even watch the video… Would an average guy even try?!?! Anything going 98 MPH I want no parts in stopping..
V
a narcissistic dandy and an african , the african should stick with african ball, as their jungle skills have caused them to take all sports except hockey, leave hockey alone. the narcissitic dandy should stick to writing about fashion, or TV thats about his level
Was he wearing regular hockey skates and not goalie skates? Great way to break a toe…..
Canadians are born with hockey sticks, we don’t even need training to be a better goalie than that
4:22 I fell over that same way when I was about 9 but caught my hand on the skates and split the entire side of my thumb wide open, this was on a scout camp and everyone was annoyed at me as they had to close the ice rick as it was covered
14:28 was that part sped up? I swear it is, but if that wasn’t he spun super quick. Why didn’t they just let the guy who could actually skate go against the pros?
Therapist? Did GQ run out of content?
This dude is a pus
Is he the 75 questions guy?
The cringe
Excellent virtue signal on your player choice, GQ.
He should have practiced way more it was rushed. I think I could teach him.
Oh lmao that's my rink
19:23 that was actually a good save
this man is never wearing a helmet when he is practicing his skating.. like c'mon what kinda example are you trying to set for kids watching this
The figure skater knew nothing ab actual hockey
tbh i think John was presently surprised there at the end
