Speed is an American YouTuber and rapper and is best known for his gaming live streams, where he plays popular titles such as Fortnite.
He has expanded his content recently, as his latest post shows him playing ice hockey on Jun 14th.
The content is exciting, as of course not everyone sees a header goal every day, but he is claiming a record that former Blackhawks Andrew Shaw has broken.
Shaw, who is the owner of the first header goal record in professional hockey, was of course called off. But it took place during Game 2 of the 2015 Western Conference Finals against the Anaheim Ducks.
The goal happened at the 8:47 mark in double-OT where Shaw would use his head to score a goal against Frederik Andersen who was called back unfortunately.
It was exciting and funny, albeit not legal in the NHL:
The only problem is that hockey doesn't follow soccer's rules; headers aren't allowed. According to rule 78.5 (i) in the NHL rulebook (h/t Sports Illustrated's Ben Estes), goals will be disallowed "when the puck has been directed, batted or thrown into the net by an attacking player other than with a stick."
Even after all of the chaos in double-OT, the Dynastic-era of the Blackhawks would pull out the 3-2 OT victory.
Andrew Shaw definitely used his head that time, too bad it didn't count for much.
