    The more you watch hockey, the more it slows down in a sense because you get the flow down -- like you can sense the movements and and where the puck is about to go even right before it happens. It's times where you're like 'wait...what just happened?" that you know something cool might have just happened because it doesn't match the flow you're used to.

    I've been watching hockey for decades, so I might have less difficulty seeing live what has happened. The replays on the giant screen when you attend an NHL game will show what you missed. But when I go to my nephews' high school games, we have to do it the old-fashioned way, by talking to other fans.
    For those of us who never played the game, what elite players can do is even more impressive when we are reminded that they are not looking down at the puck most of the time ("keep your head up, or someone will try to remove it").

    The goal at #1 was a very special night. Kevin Lowe who was on the great 80's Oilers teams with Gretzky was nominated to the Hockey Hall of Fame. As is tradition with the Oilers, when one of them gets into the Hall they retire their number which includes a pregame ceremony. Lowe won 5 cups with the Oilers and was one of several former Oilers who were on the Rangers 1994 cup winning team which is why they retired his number on a night they were playing the Rangers. The Oilers were down by a goal late in the third period when McDavid performed the magic that was the number one goal on this list. He then helped set up Leon Draisaitl for the overtime winner.

    Yes, even with the slow motion replays you can miss things in person, but there is also more going on than just the individual plays so you also get a lot that you don’t realize with the clips- if that makes sense. Even coaches and experts use replay to catch everything.

    As someone that has played hockey as a goalkeeper(not professionally, just in my youth around 17 or 18 yrs old), i feel has given me a unique perspective on whats happening or has happened during a hockey play.
    The speed at which a player is coming at you is often under looked. How are they coming at you? What angles are they showing you with their skates/blades/edgework? How are they holding their stick? Are they showing you multiple angles?
    So much i could say here. Mcdavid does so much well at such a high level.
    As a goalie you have to assess so much, so fast its insane; and i never had to play against nhl guys. I did play against some talented guys though.

    I played hockey for 22 years. My insight to help. Hockey players full sprint about 23mph. That is like watching a football player run a 40m in 1.7 seconds.
    Connor is special not for the goal scoring or the assist count. It all starts at a young age going to specialized training camps called dry land training & skilled camps. What made us great as kids, 2 practices per day, breakfast, lunch and video training. It would be every winter, every summer. What made Connor even better? He would take his work home with him. While many of us would practice stick handling for 30 minutes before dressing for a game, Connor would practice stick handling for 2-3 hours daily. When he would train in weightlifting rooms, they were not standard equipment. He would train on two treadmills pushed together with a coating on top that simulates the ice. He would wear a harness and be able to skate as fast as he could without risk of falling. The scariest thing to a player who can’t train like Connor, is that full speed potential. In a real game, going full speed slows down your abilities of puck control but not for Mcdavid for some reason. If you went 23 mph in to the boards, you can become paralyzed or die from a concussion. Not many guys I played with, ever tried to operate a game full speed the entire game. Mcdavid does. He also spent continuous years in power skating. One of the biggest reasons for his speed, is how strong his strides are and quick crossovers. He used his blades to sharpen the ice and cut through like butter, as he crosses over, it begins to function like a wheel on a chain…more build up, more speed.
    Now, what makes an athlete in hockey different from guys like us who played for 20+ years since age 3? Injuries. When you sustain an injury in hockey bad enough or to a position of the body that requires significant surgery, time is against you. My brother played against Patrick Kane in the Junior days and Select 17’s. My brother passed me once I got injured. My injury, cost me 2 years of shoulder recovery and 2 years of a potential career. Mcdavid, only ever hurt his hand so he has been allowed to get better and better each year.
    The NFL is similar. If a guy in college D1 messed up his MCL or UCL in his thumb, his career will likely never be in the NFL bc the recovery time, puts you years behind everyone else.

    A couple fun facts about this list. #4 and #3 happened literally 1 week apart during the regular season. My mans was on a heater. #1 has been replayed over and over everywhere and it's been 2(3?) seasons since it happened. It might genuinely be the greatest goal ever scored. Some might be more emotional or more meaningful in terms of context, but pure skill-wise this is a strong contender for top goal of all time.

    Everyone complains about not being able to see or keep track of the puck, watching on tv. That's not a problem if you played. As a matter of fact when you're playing the best thing to do is not be looking at the puck or the players, but looking in the middle of the two. Its a helpful technique to use whilst walking around a city and avoiding dog shit too.

  • @palepwnr
    @palepwnr 9 місяців тому

    You get used to watching hockey and figure out where the puck is even without seeing it at times. Look at where the players are looking and how they are positioned, how they are reacting. Once you figure out where it is you can follow it. And not really the puck itself, although you can see it, but in general more experienced watchers will tell you what you are really watching is the body language of the guys on the ice.

    This was missing his pivot spin move and then a backhander to the top corner from the hash marks. That definitely belongs in his top 10, probably top 5. Think it was last season (2022-2023)... maybe 2021-2022. And think some reel had it as the goal of the year. Or at least McDavid's greatest goal that year.

    #2 the welcome back was due to injury. He got put out for a long time due to a collar bone break in his rookie season if my memory serves me right. Here is the video link to the incident. The #2 goal in this video was his first game back and one of the best goals scored i have ever seen, considering his age and anticipation of his return.

    Tbh, it's way easier to track the puck when you're there live. The slow motion replays at the stadium do help though for getting some better angles. But the TV will never do a live game justice, it's just too fast. McDavid's stick handling will always be hard to track, though.

    It's already been answered, but in my experience, you definitely have to be watching to know it went in. It's easy to miss if you look down or elsewhere. The scoreboard will show the replay a few times so you can see what happened. The Oilers are my hometown team, so I have been to a few games all the way back to the 1980s when they were winning all those Stanley Cups. But the current arena, Rogers Place, is amazing. Love that building.

    If you went to a live game, u'll notice the difference in ambiance compared to a video playback. Since the ice is all white&reflective, it's too bright and sometimes it's best to watch the replay on the screen. Besides, McDavid is the fastest in the NHL during the AllStars competition. He has the speed, spatial awareness and hockey sense with the positions of other players on the ice. So when ppl say he's the greatest player in the world, u have to realize the mental speed in which the hockey players are thinking and playing especially with their puck control and high speed skating. Hockey is very fast and to think that most of the time, McDavid doesn't look down when he's moving and shooting the puck as he has that much confidence&control on his stick handling&accuracy in shooting the puck to its target.

    Most lifelong fans know most of what happens on one look. Yet more so with fans that actually play the game.
    We don’t generally even have to see the puck to know what’s happened because we know what the body movements of the players mean. You need to see it sometimes of course.
    There are occasions when replay is needed to clear up whether it was deflected or not, etc, though.
    PS: going to a game is a different experience because the speed of the players appears different than on TV. It’s something else if you sit close and see them go by and see the hits right in your face. You also learn how big they are. On TV, they’re mostly the same size as each other so you lose the perspective. At a game, you’re there yourself. Plus they’re 3” taller on skates so they end up around 6’5”.

    Hey Nick and Damo! You guys should react to the a video titled "He was the next generation's Michael Vick... but it went horribly wrong." Its a video about the former Redskins QB Robert Griffin III (RG3) who was a very young and talented player but was cut short because of injuries and coaching (the video will go into more detail). I think you guys would enjoy this video and it would also make my day if you guys do react to it since I am a Redskins (now Commanders) fan.

    To be fair, there really is a difference with European Football, with its big ball and much slower pace, and hockey, with its super fast pace and really tiny puck. We are conditioned to it, but consider yourself lucky: goalies not only have to keep their eyes on the puck but they also have to stop those shots!

    It's difficult to see sometimes live like you guys say. But you learn to follow the puck with their movement and almost anticipate a little bit what is going to happen even though you might get faked out the same way a defender does. You might not also see details of a move the same way you would on a replay if bodies are covering your view. Redirections are incredibly hard to follow live, at least for me, and then you just look at the jumbotron and hope to catch what happened. You know someone got a stick on it but it's hard to catch, especially multiple redirections (stick into skate into whatever). So don't feel bad!

      so my advice with hockey is pay attention to the stick in tight plays then when the replays are watched you can enjoy the rest of the magic happening. also being at a oilers game live is an experience also if you ever do decide to catch a oiler game you get to enjoy the rexall beer and its magic beer, expensive but you only need a few of em and you got a great glow on so it just adds more to the game.

    #5: The defender, Morgan Rielly was playing hurt at the time, and I think it was right after that game he decided enough is enough, and took time off to get right. Which is not to say Rielly would have stopped him if healthy, just would have been beat a little less spectacularly. Maybe.

    • @buzznastyy
      @buzznastyy 9 місяців тому +1

      Rielly broke his foot in a game against Florida a whole week after that goal from Mcdavid. What I remember from it was all the jokes that Mcdavids move broke Riellys ankle and ego lol also if you watch that play very closely you’ll see that Mcdavid (possibly on purpose) crossed over to his left and the very exact moment Rielly lifted his skate to take a crossover the other way. There was zero chance of stopping what was going to happen

    theyve got jumbotrons (massive screens suspended over the ice) so you can watch replays right after, but when you go to the game you see the puck so clearly because the ice is so perfectly white, and then you got the black puck. if you played the sport or watched it alot youll start seeing it. but weve never seen anyone like mcdavid, gretzky is still the best of all time in my opinion for now, but his style was very different to mcdavid.
