Thank you, I learned something, Mika is Swedish. Who would have thunk it.

Swedish but with Iranian background actually. Savard only does those players he thinks are the best players.

Where have you been?

Hockey players trying to show personality is cringe-worthy.

Hiding, it's dangerous out there. Can't get the virus if it can't find you.

or do you mean not knowing Mika is Finnish? lol

I just find the segment to be odd.

I didn't get it, he was taping a stick? Who cares? I guess maybe hockey nerds.

Pretty odd series for him to do but I watched his Panarin one and had never noticed how Panarin tapes his blade before. Take a close look:

I don't think many here have room to call someone else a hockey nerd.

I think more of hockey-playing nerds. I don't play, so I'm in the clear!

I guess it does resonate with people who play/ed more. I was watching it sort of cringing, sort of thinking what an odd video series to make and sort of being like yep, mmhmm, trim the toe, break it in the back, keep it tight. And then I felt weird. But I guess taping sticks is a bit ritualistic when you play so it sucks you in, watching somehow.

His personality is awful. He seems like a robot that someone programmed to have a personality.

I felt like the thing would've been 10 million suns burning bright better if he had facetimed Mika, whom I presume is back in Sweden, demonstrate it.

Yeah, otherwise why even mention him by name? I guess that's how he tapes the stick?

Hey, I'm going to show you how the Property Brothers spackle this wall.

Bauer does a good version of this called "Taping with the Pros." Each player has an interesting backstory for why they tape the way they do.

But it's the players talking about themselves, not Marc Savard being creepy with other people's sticks, amirite?

I have a 12 year old and some of the stuff he shows me from online is cringe worthy. This is nothing .

Yeah, that’s all he does. For like 2 years he’s been posting these videos demonstrating specifically how different guys in the league tape their sticks. I’ve only watched a handful because, frankly it’s awful and cringy, but a couple guys have interesting tape jobs, like Panarin’s single strip of black tape on the front and back of the blade and the white toe. The white tape at the end makes it so I’ve never noticed the black strip but after watching the video and looking at pictures of Panarin I was like “well, I’ll be” so I guess once in a blue moon it’s interesting.
