You're slipping, Vlad.

No, seriously.

You're slipping. As in literally slipping.

Russian President Vladimir Putin took a fall as he waved to the crowd during an ice-hockey game in Sochi. He scored eight goals during the exhibition match in what has become a yearly tradition.

11:24 AM - 10 May 2019

I still have to LOL at the "eight goals" part, though.

1. He's doing that self-applause

that Chump does.

2. The context of this event, old timers hockey, may be even more hilarious.

Flag hockey? Skating, or trying to skate? Use of the hockey stick as a stabilizer? Mandatory applause signals and enforcement?

3. Too bad he survived it.

4. I'd like to see Trumploaf on skates.

5. How many goalies that blocked Vlad's goal shots are still around?...

...I'm just saying

6. 8 goals. Sounds like Kim Jung Il's first ever round of golf

7 holes in one.

8. I thought it was 18...

7. I know whoever laid out that red carpet in the middle of the ice will be drinking some tea soon.

That's for sure.

9. Would love to have seen

him come up after the fall with a bloodied face and missing teeth.

10. that was oddly satisfying

immature I know, but I kind of enjoyed it.

11. Whoever blocks his shots ends up accidentally falling out of a fourth story window.
