Bryan Little is the master of hand-eye coordination, deflects puck out of midair

He even did it one-handed, too!

When you get down to it, hockey sticks are just tiny pieces of wood. Comparatively, hockey pucks are just as tiny, little rubber disks that can be very hard to see on TV. Sometimes, not always, hockey players can deflect pucks with their sticks, and even more rare is when it goes exactly where they want it to.

Bryan Little has seemingly mastered this art, stretching his stick out one handedly to deflect a puck out of midair in the first period, down 1-0 to the Minnesota Wild. Maybe even more impressive is the fact the puck bounces down and through the outstretched legs of goaltender Devan Dubnyk, who would have had the original shot if it were not deflected by Little's stick.
