Is this ‘McOverrated’ hot take the most ridiculous take ever?

- Jay Onrait was joined by TSN Hockey analyst Mike Johnson to get his thoughts on the ‘McOverrated’ hot take, whether Connor McDavid vs. Gustav Forsling is the most intriguing matchup in the Stanley Cup Final, if Evan Bouchard has a realistic chance at the Conn Smythe, whether the Oilers blueline can handle the Panthers depth, and much more.
McDavid is 100 percent the most talented player in the game. He is generational. He does need to win the cup to be considered legendary.
Agreed, but Connor himself probably wouldn't accept it.
@Julia_Hammelsbe quiet female
@Julia_Hammels one player, even Gretzky in his prime, couldn't win a Stanley Cup on his own. There is no "I" in team.
On an individual basis, he is clearly the best player today. And like dynamic duos, Mario - Jagr, Crosby - Malkin, the odds do go up (McDavid and Leon), eventually will make your argument mute.
@Julia_HammelsLol wut
@Julia_Hammels Did you like your own comment?
It's unbelievable how difficult it is for people to understand that one player, no matter who they are, can't win a cup. It takes 20 guys playing at the height of their abilities, it takes the coaching staff making the right calls and right moves, and even when everything is going perfect, you still have to beat four other teams who are after the very same thing. Cup wins, much like Olympic medals, have so little to do with any one player that they shouldn't even be considered personal accomplishments.
McDavid is a generational talent. But he can’t do it alone. It’s team that win games and the series.
"Hockey is a team sport" is the first thing people need to know before they open their mouths.
Exactly an no one plays better team hockey than the Panthers do
@@gperezniners4949 I don't know, seems like the Knights beat them at it last year, and we'll see what happens this year.
@@Marixa1979 Last year was last year.
Different team this year. More seasoned
@@gperezniners4949 Yeah, that applies to both teams.
@@gperezniners4949 You're saying something different than "Mc overrated."
I was the first person to use the term McOver-rated. I wouldn't call Craig Janney a superstar and by the same token I wouldn't call McDavid a superstar.
He only scored 8 goals in 25 playoff games in the recent playoffs. That's terrible.
and 34 assists, might want to mention that.
Did you know there is a McDavid time-pricing painting by Joseph Charles Colin priced by time and worth a couple million bucks?
I'm pretty sure that giving McDavid more reasons to tear apart Florida in the finals is a bad strategy for a Florida fan. The guy gets better when the stakes are higher.
Perhaps GREG should stick to sports He understand like High School sports , Senior Lawn Bowling, maybe become an expert in Rhythmic Gymnastics.... Please TSN do something about Onrait.... he is meant to be the Clown in a Circus.
Make sure Connor reads this please.
Florida fan here, but Greg Cote is as irrelevant when it comes to hockey down here as he is in Canada. South Florida newspapers barely cover the Panthers and only started now that the team has had more success of late. Fans and locals that know anything about puck down here know how good and dangerous Mcdavid is and not overlooking a guy who more then likely will be #2 greatest to ever play. Should be a great series.
It is absolutely ridiculous. So is Cote. And, he's fooling you all into allowing him to gobble up your clicks. That's what he does at this point. He's not a serious person.
How long did it take Ovi to win a cup? So either he is also overrated (there is a big difference in points per season to consider between the two), or it’s a statement of individual talent against team composition.
Ovi ran into 2010 Halak. 54 shots by Caps 4-1 loss.
Ovi was never considered generational by Canadian Media. Crosby was the only one.
soooo let me be clear. once you need 3 players on a single one, to make sure he doesn't score a goal, it is called a good player. Ask florida. they just kept him under pressure whole game in game 7 and they won the cup. The second you have to make sure a player doesn't play to hit the win, he's a good player.
Lol, How about all the other players??? lol, PK - PP more points than any panther / EX Flames player .And we all know what happens to the flames every year when contending with the Oilers.........Done in 5 !...... .. .
Oilers already lost twice to the Panthers this year , 5-3 and 5-1!
@@YoriSch5179 Oilers lost 4 times to the canucks, and 3 times to the Stars..See the similarities....
Dallas’ D was as good or better than floridas. So was vans. Keep hyping it up but the Oil are gonna truck the cats in 5. Maybe no one has noticed that the Oil have become a great defensive team in the playoffs.
He was right and ya know it!
Wait, did ppl think Cote was being serious lol?
Down 0-3 in the Finals hasn’t scored a Goal….
That’s funny
Why would he give McDavid extra fuel in this series? Not like he needs it..But here we go.Let the fun begin 🫡
They don't get the show
YOU DON’T GET THE SHOW
McGambling
Everyone said Dallas would wipe the Oil also... Oilers in 6 ends the Canadian drought. Ez pz
I guess Alex Ovechkin was just a bum and not good, even though got close to Wayne Gretzkys all time goals. Let me check cause i thought he only won 1 Stanley Cup. I guess if the only metric you pic is Stanley Cup wins, lots could then be excluded then. Just how many Stanley Cups they and team won hmmmmm
“Ridiccaluss”
Any team would want McDavid on their team.
The player that is fkn overrated is Mathews!!!!! Best goal scorer in the world?? One of the worst playoff player ever, pain and simple.
He’s just trying to get his 5 secs of fame.
i hope he loses the cup
Macfaker is going to fall flat on his face
this is no good, the Florida fans, at least the young ones, are gonna be chanting 'over-rated' every time he touches the puck, is on the ice, etc
This is exactly what people said about Dallas, the depth, the physicality...
Dallas does not play D nowhere near like the Panthers play. Panthers all day!
panthers stick to one style. they arent a rush team. they dont do anything outside of who they are. and have arguably the best goalie in the world minus Igor.
@@Jimmyfly215 You never watched the Panthers. One of the things that make Panthers good is that they can play EVERY style. They CAN be a rush team, in fact, they have one of the fastest transition games in the league
@eberkovich that's entirely not true. They are not a rush team, numbers prove that.. And they can play any style, but they bully teams to their style. Get your eyes checked, and maybe your brain
@@eberkovich Absolutely I think these folks out there in Oil land need to check the tape. Florida just does not play to one style of system. They can beat you multiple ways.
I want to see the Oil go from tied for Last to the Stanley Cup Champs..
Not happening.. Not this year

@gperezniners4949 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm guessing your 1 of those right wing Muricans eh....fkn tool
Click bait and it gets circulated by other media outlets.
It's great locker room material for McDavid though. Not that McDavid wouldn't perform his best anyways, this nobody "journalist" may have poked the bear and accomplish the complete opposite of what he was intending to do, with the added bonus of being known as complete tool for the rest of his career,
He’s from Florida, obviously he knows nothing about sports, let alone hockey. Miami is probably the worst sports town in North America. Their baseball team is a perpetual joke, they did manage to win a World Series and couldn’t give away tickets. Their football team has finally managed to put together a halfway decent team, and they play in front of empty seats. Their basketball team when they were in the finals, with lebron James on the team couldn’t sell out the barn in the finals. The hockey team survive because of all the ex pat Canadians who live there, and they have some of the cheapest tickets in the league.
Panthers have had 63 consecutive sell-outs. Miami Heat have basically sold out every game for the last 5-6 years. Here you are talking of someone's ignorance yet you spout even more ignorance on your own.
Confused with 34
On the golf course, Yes!

@eberkovich keep your ridiculous American politics away from hockey
@@tomwilson3969 He was replying to the dude who brought politics into the convo. Go have a word with him instead
Talk about Forsling's defensive prowess, show highlights of him scoring. :D
If I'm Kane...the first thing i do is grab Thachuk or Bennet or both and rag doll them like Kassian did to the turtle. Wait until Florida plays in front of real hockey fans as the sixth player...btw Edmonton is one of the bigger teams in the League
So, what you're saying is Bruins fans and Rangers fans are not real hockey fans? Sounds like you are.
Kane and Perry both proven playoffs producers and tuff it's happened twice now soon as a city starts b.s talk they hex there team Vancouver and Dallas both did this by saying disrespectful during anthems whatever you will curse your team
Well they lost both games to the Panthers this year (5-3, 5-1)
@eberkovich who said anything about Bruins or Rangers...anyway hockey is a religion in Canada...so yeah we have better more knowledgeable fans...
@@YoriSch5179 regular season means squat Vancouver rolled over Edmonton in the regular season.
The only people that consider McD overrated are fans of teams where McD doesn’t play
@Julia_Hammels so you don’t actually watch the oilers then do you?
@Julia_Hammels Right. Cups are totally individual awards. McOverrated can’t even put on goalie pads and tend the goal. Is he stupid? Why doesn’t he just win?
- Something people like you would say.
@@mcj44 he literally made Hyman a 50 goal man. He helped Nuge set career highs WITHOUT Leon being on the line. He literally makes any player who plays with him better. Just look at Patrick Maroon for proof of that.
@Julia_Hammelsyou haven’t debunked anything,all you have done is shown your ignorance 🫡
@Julia_Hammels you're a clown
Ovechkin didn't win the cup until his thirteenth season, and I don't remember people saying he was overrated. I actually do think he was overrated, but not because of that.
Mcdavid is a god, this guy is highlight real every game, 8 minute highlight real, the guy is literally 6 minutes of it, every game his line produces, every single game.
It’s not every game he’s was shotless in a game vs the Canucks and pointless at times but he usually responds with a huge game after a bad night
bro are u being real or are you nit picking words, obviously everyone has a game with no points, the guy is a highlight real every fucking week bro, this guy is literally always clean and everything is perfect.
McDavid is the best player in the game and hopefully the Oilers beat the Panthers to win the cup so the haters can never say that McDavid should not be considered one of the greatest to play since he never won the cup
Honestly nobody cares what a Miami sports writer says about mcdavid, not understanding player stats and not understanding that Gretzky won because of his team not him personally and that’s why mcdavid hasn’t won yet shows he’s a horrible sports writer.
So true. Strange numbers of people forget that Gretz had Mess, Kurri, Anderson, Huddy, Coffey, Fuhr, Tikkanen, Simpson, Lowe etc. etc. etc.
"Hockey is a team sport" is the first thing people need to know before they open their mouths.
yeah the funniest part is some clown from Miami talking about hockey.
Exactly. They worship Dan Marino but Marino could not have done it alone to win those SuperBowls.
A UA-cam commenter not understanding a sportswriter's job is not to be right, but to get people to comment on their articles 🤣
I got many cups….. I don’t see anyone talking bout me?
Coffee anyone?
Cup of tea thanks! 🙃
I have three Stanley Cups...the pink one, the white one and the purple one.
As a lifetime Florida Resident, we don’t claim Greg
No it wasn’t! That fraud went into witness protection in game 6 & 7 when his team needed him most. The best player in the world is Aleksandr Barkov, LETS GO PANTHERS!!!
Nothing matters unless you win the cup - sports writer for a team that has never won the cup
You guys are just homers. McDavid is No Gretzky
I wish the Panthers team thought McDavid was overrated. 😂 Some how I don’t think they do.
As a lifetime Florida resident, we do not claim Greg his takes are astronomically absurd 99% of the time
@@premiumnapping5627 Thank you.
More fuel for the fire that helps the Oilers win the cup! Keep doubting them it really helps!
Didn’t score a point in game 6 or 7 is Greg Cote Still wrong on what he said ???
Jay Onrait ...You Get the Show!!! 😂😂😂
Let the results in this next round speak for themselves.
Also on TSN "What will it take to get McDavid going?". Checks stats....
The Miami Herald 😂😂
When’s the apology video coming out? You guys don’t know shit about hockey!
I’m a Canucks fan and I think you would have to be absolutely oblivious to not think Connor McDavid is the best player in the world, possibly of all time skill wise.
100 percent the best player that ever lived, so far
That's a good one! 😂
@@chelious1973 oh why
@@chelious1973 that's what I thought
You cant be serious? 🙄 Gretzky, Lemieux, Crosby, Orr, Howe are above him just to name a few. And he has yet to win anything. He is barely the best today let alone all time. Kuch and Mac are nipping at his heels. Kucherov espicially.
@@chelious1973 I really don't think winning a Stanley Cup is the be all end all for a players success... He's broken so many records even though it's much harder to score now... And to say he hasn't won anything is ignorant at best
Im a diehard Oilers fan since the Gretzky days and I had an Oilers sticker on each side of my car. Some leafs fan/ Oilers hater slashed one of my tires while I had it parked in the office parking lot. No other car was damaged since my car was the only one with Oilers stickers. This happened in Toronto while I was visiting
Hahahaha😂😂😂ok youngster.@@AK-ix6xg
I have a wild take for them
Mcdavid is underated!!!!
This is a typical (although surprising) story from someone who doesnt understand hockey is the ultimate team sport.
Why didnt ovechkin grew this kind of scrutiny for not winning a cup during his career as much as mcdavid? (Until he did win one). Was it because of social media now, because mcdavid is in canada market? Or is it because mcdavid is the best player and ovechkin was not considered the best because crosby?
Mcdavids leadership is underated. Check his defensive stats. Hit hits, his face off % , his takeaways are all higher then anyone career wise and especially this past last year when u compare his to other top players who rival mcdavid for MVP. Kuch, mackinnon etc.
Mcdavid is so underated. Dont let the constant media stats persuade you hes overated.
Mcdavid is underated imo
Only leafblowers think mcdavid isn't good bcoz he doesn't play for the makemelaughs and they are being petty as usual. 😂😂😂
Is Mike Johnson using a green screen in his bathroom?
Comparing Gretzky to McDavid purely on length of time it takes to win a cup is not fair. Gretzky played before the salary cap. It is much harder for teams now to field "dynasty" style teams and the Oilers team that Gretzky won the cup with was one of the best teams in NHL history. They actually won the cup again after Gretzky was traded. Remember that. Everyone is saying McDavid should lead his team to win the Stanley Cup but the Edmonton team was so good they proved they could win the cup without Gretzky. The current Edmonton oilers wouldn't even be in the playoffs without McDavid. Gretzky never won a cup again after he left that Edmonton team... of course, he was passed his prime then.
IMO, the only position that truly can win a cup for a whole team is goalie and Practick Roy proved that.
Florida will be physical with the top 3 guys. Usually less penalties in the final, advantage Florida. McDavid has not proved himself yet. He is very dependent on his wingers to go to the hard spots. He is not very good defensively. Does not mean he can't do it. Goaltending usually decides. That is a big ask for Skinner and a defence prone to mistakes. Deck stacked against Edmonton.
i dont get the Mcdavid over rated thing ...he's basically on the same pace (should the oilers win the cup) that Yzerman was when he finally won in the late 90s...and like Yzerman he had to wait for the team to get better though those Wings teams had TON more depth and better goal tending ,,,if McDavid wins this yr it will be with a team thats probably not as good overall as the Yzerman had when they won the first time in the 90s....granted Mcdavid is playing at higher level then Yzerman(with his injury problems) was by the mid /late 90s
Mcdavid IS overrated until he wins the Stanley Cup. And even then, with all the talent that Edmonton has, that they haven't been able to muster a cup yet, is an abomination. The reason why Gretzky only has four but Edmonton has five cups is because the entire team gelled around Gretzky and that core unit managed to win another one. Mcdavid has a core unit right now and yet no cup. The reason why Gretzky never got another cup is because he didn't have time to gel a team around him. The guy who wrote the article that brought me to this video doesn't have a clue what he's talking about.
Are you people really taking GREG COTE's take seriously?! From the LeBatard show? That show is all about fun and self-aware hot takes meant to rile morons, lol
Mcdavid will win the cup he’s catching fire at the perfect time. The hockey gods have said it’s time for a Canadian team to win to promote hockey because the ratings have fallen.. so it’s rigged lol I seen a UA-cam add edm vs fla when the series wasn’t even over yet at 3-2 for both teams
In my 40 years on Earth he is the most talented player I have seen. Lemieux and Gretzky are great, strides ahead of where McDavid is right now, but give him a cup and he inches closer to them.
He is a great player he has all the tools!! But but he doesn't have agreat team with him !! Old oilers great goiltender fuir great defence coffey great top 3 lines to many names to mention!!! Conners great the overall team is a lot weaker!! Its always been a team game!!!!!
dudes got nearly 300 pts over his past two seasons, and hes somehow "overrated" ???? oook
Funny. Matthews has lead his team to 1 series win and everyone thinks he’s in the greatest of all time convo. Matthews couldn’t tie mcdavids skates.
The Most OVERRATED player in sports history and it won’t be close once he finishes his career.
Greg Cote knows absolutely nothing about hovkey. There is nothing else to say.
Inexperience? Florida made the final last year and got their ass kicked. They won one game.
Dear god. I'm a Panthers fan but my god, way to give them poster board material 🙄
Greg who?
Bouchards defensive analytics crush Forsling this playoff run so far
while i picked FLA to win the cup, greg cote is a certified pylon. i got no issue with edmonton, and mcjesus is far from overrated. if EDM can pull off the win, it would cement his legacy and certify greg cote as a a legendary cement-head. 💩
Yes it’s a stupid take, consider the source and put them on blast
Oilers fan here, can we just let this go? its the opinion by one dude who rights in a newspaper and everyone's freaking out about it, including analysts for a major sports company. Yeesh.

It's literally a clickbait article from someone in Miami... Not exactly hockey Mecca. Oilers fans should absolutely let this go because it's a bad look if they don't.
Cote should follow some other sport. What a foolish article.
You could be the best at what you do but still be overrated.
Let the Oilers make “Greg” eat his word salad.
LOL....McDavid is BETTER tan Gretz in his PRIME. This guy is soooo far ahead of his peers it isn't even debatable
He's a top 10 player for sure. But taking him over Gretzky, or Mario, or Bobby Orr.. You're smoking son.
Who’s greater? Dionne or sakic/yzerman? Dionne ahead of both in points but I can’t imagine anyone who would put him ahead of either simply because they have the rings. Hard to disagree with that take. Although I do feel mcdavid is so good his greatness is truly on another level.
McDavid *IS* overrated.
That is, however, thanks to the unrealistic picture that "fans" and fans have of him, not because he isn't insanely skilled.
He's the best offensive forward, but he's also human and makes mistakes. He does get outplayed sometimes.
Everyone does.
Yeah… I think they’ll win this year…. But let’s be honest, to say the oilers only had 1 player all 9 seasons of mcdavids career, is also ridiculous. No team has had more top draft picks than Edmonton, and still couldn’t get it done until now.
Mcbaby is an NHL franchise player. We'll protected by the league. Longer leash to non. Good player but overrated and over hyped. It's put in other players heads that he is tough to play against end of the day he is only human
That's god 'ole City vs City writing! Obvs he's trying to get under the skins of Oilers fans & players alike. It's great for the sport!
Whos going to rag doll tkachuk
They will find out.
McDropMyPanties
The words to accurately describe how awful and unintelligent of a take that is simply don’t exist
IF Mcdavid was playing for a American based team there would probably be no debate imo
