The 66-year-old leader breezed past largely static defenders several times to help his side to a 14-7 victory – before falling flat on his face while taking a victory lap.

8 goals? wow just wow
lolololol
He must score 8 goals or we will all be in Minsk prison
🇷🇺✝️🇷🇺🌎💪
The people who put the mat there are now in northern siberia
The opponents got ill after consuming water.
The previous goalie accidently saved one, he now plays back-up goalie in a Siberian B league.
There's a true leader. I'd like to see Trudeau or Biden do this
They play like when it's a make a wish fundation kid.
Russian bots. Putin puppets.
I could probably play better than vl- why is the kgb at my door
Putin: hits the slowest shot these players have seen since they were children
Goalie: "There was nothing that can be done, I was simply out-played by superior opponent"
If this game was played at a time when it was only broadcast over the radio, you would think that this guy is a total phenom. Unfortunately for Putin, there’s cameras.
It was Море волнуется — раз! game on ice, not the ice hockey.
I like the moment at 1:18 when they realize the catastrophy is inevitible 😁
Bruh this gotta be a joke
The truth is that Putin never actually fell, the ground and the people standing on it endeavored a temporary earthquake while Putin maintained his composure the entire time.
Ukraine made him fall down. He will blame the Ukraine for everything
It's like Trump winning the championship at his own golf course
Lol…what…So its true Putin is real person..lol…Russia ❤
Better skater than Biden.
And no more ice hockey😂😂😂😂😂
Really lol who puts a rubber mat on the ice only sleepy joe wouldn’t do anything he doesn’t even realize when he falls
Wow, look at the reflexes on that goalie! He got his glove out of the way incredibly fast.
why is he playing???
Notice all his teammates wear red helmets and he’s the only one with a white helmet
Kim Jong un once had 18 holes in one IN A ROW.
QUE DEUS CONTINUE ABENÇOANDO A RÚSSIA SAUDAÇÕES DO BRASÍL 👍
Imagine if a player puts a check on him on the board. He'd be "missing" real soon.
Владимирыч Красавчик! Везде Забивает!
Imagine if somebody pulled a Scott Stevens?!😮😮😮😮😮
150% of the shots were goals
Путин убивает украинцев в Украине, но в основном людей, которые никогда не поддержат Путина.
Слава украинским героям.🇺🇦❤️
If only the US had a president that could move, skate, shoot a puck 😂🤣
Eyes on the ice old man.
1:04 was blatantly obvious. At least make the acting job look proper
1:21 Putin will have a word with #61 after the match.
"You think i did not see you laughing at me Ivan? Who is laughing now??"
This reminds me of that Sasha Baron Cohen movie, the dictator, where he is running a race and shoots anyone who passes him
If i were Putin i would be ashamed of scoring such easy goals.
This looks like they let a Make A Wish kid play in a hockey game.
He’s a natural!
The original Russian comedy 😂😂
In Soviet Russia, goal scores you!
Giro d'italie 3030
That was NOT an accidental belly flop on the ice; he's just practicing for the Russian Olympic High Platform Diving Team, and ice is frozen water.
Vladimir Putin doesn't stake very well.
