Russian hockey goalie drinks water obliviously while team shoots on him

James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

The KHL isn’t in NHL 17, but if the Russian league is ever put into video game form, hopefully someone will take a long, hard look at this video before setting Andrei Gavrilov’s awareness rating. The Salavat Yulaev goalkeeper was completely oblivious to everything around him while he stood, basically with his back turned, and drank water while the opposing team thundered down the ice toward him.

The saddest part of this video is that the opposition couldn’t even score. A wide-open look at a goal with the keeper concentrating on his hydration, and Dynamo MSK still couldn’t slot it in.

The best part: Salavat Yulaev still won, despite having this moment.
