Watch: Former NHL player attempts insane shootout shot in European game

We take you to the 2022 Swiss games between Sweden and Finland where former NHL player Teemu Hartikainen wowed everybody with one of the wildest shootout attempts you may ever seen during a game for Finland. 

Just watch this madness as he skates in on his attempt.

Okay, yes, he did miss, but the confidence it takes to even TRY that move in an actual game, even if it is not a game that most people will see or care about it, is off the charts.

That is the sort of move you will only ever see in a practice or an All-Star game.

This was all part of the Swiss Euro Hockey Tour, a tournament that involves Sweden, Finland, Switzerland, and the Czech Republic.
Sweden ended up winning the shootout, but Hartikainen's attempt stole the show.

He has spent most of his career playing professionally in Europe, but he did play 52 games for the Edmonton Oilers between the 2010-11 and 2012-13 seasons, scoring six goals and adding seven assists for the team.
