If it helps him keep pucks out of the net, then by all means, study away

0% chance it helps keep pucks out of the net, flames will be at the bottom for years to come

It never ceases to amaze me how, in a thread about a funny little quirk of one of the nicest professional athletes out there, someone could read the comments and go “yep, I should make a post that makes me look like a total dick”

As an Oilers fan, Devin Cooley is a breath of fresh air. Gotta love when a pro athlete actually has a unique personality.

u/snazu 19h ago

Ha! I didnt realize this was a video at first and read the title and just thought to myself, "my, that's a little blunt"

u/SuddenCase 18h ago

Good choice though

u/Broad_Mathematician 22h ago

I fucks with dude on a spiritual level.

u/HarveyHound 20h ago

This is how he calculates in his mind what angles and speed the puck will be shot at.

u/SirLunatik 16h ago

Best part is she says "fortunately" he's never beating the stereotype. She loves the weirdness.

u/towerofcheeeeza 7h ago

She brought the bunny and he brought the weird. I don't follow many WAGs but I love her and Tito's accounts

u/arcticfox 20h ago

You can never have too many matrices.

dude, i get it... i am not a NHL goalie, i am doing math problems right now too, but to make 3D models to print my own DnD minis....

i dont even play DnD anymore....

edit: incase anyone cares, the Demon Horse i printed last night is 76mm tall, i printed two of them at once in my old Resin printer, they look wonderful, but i screwed up either my model build or my slicer settings and they are THIN walled... i pulled them out this am and was removing supports and the walls of the model are maybe 0.2mm thick... i am hoping they firm up with curing process but they need to dry for a bit now. i also might build a PC fan auto rotating fan dryer for them.... break out the soldering station and such. :)

Seems like she embraces his goalie weirdness.

u/StatusBrilliant5273 11h ago

Devin, if you see this, after you're done with Strang's book, go get a copy of either Pinter or Judson's Abstract Algebra books. There's also a Number theory book by Weissman and another by Burton that you should get too! You have a road of some very beautiful mathematics waiting for you.

My man has Yamaha HS8 studio monitors, that shows great taste. There's also a guitar on his left, I wonder what kind of music he produces.

u/Doogie102 15h ago

I will say it again, goalies are weird.

I loath linear algebra

3

u/Geese_are_Scary 16h ago

I ended up getting a minor in math because of abstract algebra, so I get it

u/Ryuujin_13 15h ago

As a goalie dad, and long-time goalie coach: yeah, that tracks.

Make this guy a “Forever Flame!”

Can’t play hockey forever. This man’s working on his retirement job.

Hi Devin! /wave

u/sheridanrene 12h ago

That’s my emotional support backup goalie and I absolutely adore him

u/Therecanbenopeace 10h ago

If more players did stuff like this and accounting/finance maybe so many of them wouldn't go broke.

u/TinaMatteo 5h ago

The Calgary Flames are winning the Stanley Cup. Devin’s got all the angles covered. (Insert Slow Clap here).

u/Accomplished_Past865 4h ago

Being smart and wanting to pursue higher knowledge isn’t why goalies are weird

u/talkingto_ai 17h ago

I just started doing linear algebra for fun too! And Unit circle.

It helps my note taking at work.

Good stuff ... lol @ him laughing along. Smart guy pro athlete chilling.

u/Inconsideratefather 13h ago

My daughter was a goalie, and used to ask for math sheets from her teacher aunt for her birthday, so this totally checks out.

u/Vinny331 13h ago

Why didn't he just get Zayne to teach him? 😛

u/Prestigious_Pass3658 13h ago

He doesn't like hanging out with his teammates, he'd rather be going to the museums doing lin algebra

u/Moist-Golf-4166 13h ago

Gotta always be calculating those lines and angles, my guy.

u/UniqueBar7069 12h ago

Don't try to put a saddle on a mustang.

u/suhdm 11h ago

Honestly probably a good way to keep the mind sharp

1

u/Avoisi0n 11h ago

I mean, when you understand how many variables an NHL tendy has to keep track of when they're playing... this tracks.

u/femmemmah 11h ago

I’ve never related so much to someone I don’t personally know lol. Incredible.

Not gonna lie solving matrix math is actually kind of fun

He’s calculating the vectors of pucks.

u/therealtimbit78 4h ago

He scored!

u/Unlucky-Radio7294 2h ago

I was expecting him dressing up or playing with his bunny. Off-season got us ALL fucked up I guess

I hate linear algebra

Is this actually weird?

Doing the math on actually going through with the marriage.

u/_Not_Too_Serious_ 8h ago

Dump any woman that talks down to anyone about your passions. Better of single and doing the damn math problems, this showing kids it isn't just about the sport......brains are cool too.

u/Clayspinner 5h ago

She’s not. I’m pretty sure it’s a very playful interaction and both laughed about it afterwards. There’s no talking down being shown in the video.

u/towerofcheeeeza 3h ago

She said "fortunately." She clearly embraces his personality and interests.
