anything over 1ppg in junior hockey gets you looks and gets you drafted, having 2ppg gets you in the top 5, in the NHL, over 1ppg you're a star, over 100 points you're a superstar
The big difference between hockey and basketball is how much time the players play. because of the speed of hockey and live changes, top players will play less than half of the game so it's a lot harder for 1 player to carry

When Mcdavid wins a cup, he’ll go down as possible the most dominant athlete of all time across all sports… that’s crazy to think about because a lot of people don’t even know who he is because he plays in Edmonton who doesn’t get much media attention
@@kool9813 obviously I’m from Edmonton and he’s huge part of the culture here… but I got friends in the states that have no idea who he is because they ain’t hockey fans. That’s a damn shame because Mcdavid should be Huge all over the world if not North America… I agree on everything you said but not a lot of people know it because hockey isn’t a popular sport just yet
Nope. A single player cannot do it all. Hockey is an ultimate team sport. Goaltending is key. Scoring is essential. Offense wins Games. Defense wins Championships. McD has a real team. You will enjoy these playoffs. Panthers are easy villains of the league like Vegas. This is the chance to live out Dreams.
6 Art Ross Trophies (Most points in the regular season) 1 Maurice "rocket" Richard Trophy (Most goals in the regular season) 3 Ted Lindsay Awards (Most outstanding player in the regular season, voted on by NHL Players Association) 2 Hart Trophies (League MVP, voted on by Professional Hockey Writer's Association)
Most hockey players start skating very young. I was in kindergarten when I first stepped on the ice, I have a 3 year old and a 5 year old and they also have already started learning to skate.
I think I was about 6 or 7 when Paul Kariya and Teemu selanne were huge. The dynamic duo got praise from the great one himself. I can’t praise them enough strongly recommend a video or 2 of each player especially Paul they are players like him that go unnoticed due to either injuries or personal matters.
First time I stepped on the ice I was 3 years old. When I was 4 my parents went to sign my brother up for hockey and the lady at the desk asked if they were signing the both of us up. My parents were about to sign me up for another year of “learn to skate” but the lady insisted that they sign me up for full hockey instead. Best decision anyone’s ever made for my life, I’m 21 now and have been consistently playing ever since. Never at the highest level but still the most fun I’ve ever had
To be clear, when McDavid was drafted to Junior under the "exceptional" status he was 15 years old playing against teams full of guys ranging from 16 up to 20. He was still able to dominate even playing against older, stronger competition.
I started playing at 3 next year I’m gonna be 18 it’s gonna be sad stepping away from minor hockey but those 15 year where filled with making good friends and good memories
I played hockey for 15 years before getting too many concussions and switching to speed skating where I eventually made our national team, and I started skating at 2 and a half. Most people who play hockey start skating before 5, since thats the age junior hockey starts (at least where I lived in Canada)
I was an Edmonton fan living in Edmonton when he was drafted, he was being called McJesus before he was even drafted. I first heard that from my cousin the year before he was drafted
first time on ice was 2 years old. figure skating until I was 7, started ice hockey at 5, power-skating at 10 until I was 15. Lived on the ice or in the basement shooting pucks at targets.
Hart= MVP, Conn Smythe= playoff MVP, Maurice “Rocket” Richard= most goals, Art Ross= most points, Ted Lindsay= most outstanding, Norris= best defenseman, Vezina= best goalie, Calder= best rookie, William M Jennings= goalie(s) with fewest goals against in minimum 25 regular season games, Jack Adams= best coach, Lady Byng= most sportsmanship/gentlemanly conduct, Bill Masterton= most perseverance/sportsmanship/dedication (example: someone who had a great came back from a terrible injury), Mark Messier Leadership award= best exemplifies leadership both on and off the ice, and ofcourse: Stanley Cup= playoff trophy
The game is soooo different from Gretzky to McDavid, but as good as Oveechkin and Crosby are, McDavid has the best chance to supplant the goat….even if the numbers are ridiculously unreasonable
Most kids growing up in Canada start hockey/figure skating at 4 or 5. Some kids with athletic parents like Mcdavid or Kirby Dach (Kirby and I are both from the same city and I played hockey with him and his brother) start at 3 which honestly is about as young as you can do it because a 3-year-old has barely learned how to balance on the ground let alone skates on ice. XD
u cant carry like lebron in hockey since at most u play 25 minutes in a game as a single person still have 35 more minutes of a game where ur not on the ice
1st Mcdavid is THE BEST player ever as of right now, Gretzky is greater but Mcdavid is better 2nd you should react to Connor Bedard sweepstakes from last year he had a better junior career than Mcdavid did 3rd -Art Ross trophy = most points -Richard trophy = most goals -Hart = MVP voted by writers -Lindsay = best player voted by the players 4th You cannot carry a team on your own in the NHL like you can in other sports cause they don’t play more than half the game in normal circumstances
If you minus all of wayne gretzkys goals, he still has the points record for the nhl. He also has the most goals of alltime. But ever7one forgets about Bobby Orr
Nah, hockey is too physical for 1 player to take hold of an entire team. Labron ain’t getting hit night in night out. And mcdavid would have to score 2-3 goals himself per game
See if you can match the Oilers players in the 80s to the current Oilers. Only one i think that's missing from the lineup is the role of Esa Tikkanen. Everyone else matches like Gretzky/McDavid, Messier/ Draisaitl, Anderson/Hyman, Simpson/Bouchard, Kurri/Nugent-Hopkins, etc...Ironically, most of the Oilers' great players that left went to the New York Rangers and half of the team that won the Stanley Cup in 1994 season are former Oilers. In comparison to other sports, McDavid has the fastest response time, fastest skater, great spatial awareness/hockey sense like Wayne Gretzky. Considering the speed of the game, he's considered as the greatest player compared to other great players in different sports. His home here in Edmonton is weird as it looks more like a hotel inside than being a regular home. You can watch a tour inside of his home on youtube. IMO, the best&exciting playoff games for the current Oilers is the 2nd round against the Calgary Flames in the 2022-23 playoff season.
Just from the power creep of the NHL I believe that Connor McDavid is the best player of all time. It may not reflect on the spreadsheets or point totals, but you can't tell me that someone that gets the privilege to take a wide open slap shot from the blue line to score can't be compared to someone who has to beat some of the most evolved defenders in all of sports to get a guarded shot on the *Potentially greatest goal tenders in sports. This isn't a jab at Wayne Gretzky's greatness, but my outlook on the subject of GOAT.
12:28 please do more research before making your opinions on that. I understand not knowing stuff but like you gotta watch some other highlights. Im not mad im just saying like you're easily gonna piss some people off so watch out dude lol. Oilers fan here btw!!

Exactly. Well put
sum'd it up pre damn well
Lmao 100 points isn’t anything special anymore it ain’t 2010
@@edited1325yes it is
@@edited1325bro what? 😂
I’m from Calgary; we detest the Edmonton oilers. Still, watching McDavid play is a joy.
mcdavid hasnt won a cup yet but has just booked his ticket to his first Stanley cup finals series vs florida
game 7 on monday
@@oshxdxw 😥😥😥
One player can't carry a team like Lebron because an nhl team has 4 lines and all of the lines need to perform to have a successful team
And three D pairs and two goalies...
In junior that’s possible lol
The big difference between hockey and basketball is how much time the players play. because of the speed of hockey and live changes, top players will play less than half of the game so it's a lot harder for 1 player to carry
Not to mention how many opportunities your best players have to score. Hockey is much more of a luck based game as sad as it is to say.
@@turdferguson8704 luck isnt the good word i think, its more a game of mistake.
@@QcLetsPlay By luck I mean high variance. In other words harder to predict. More variables means more random results on average.

Yeah, not across all sports. Look up Toni Bou. Connor will not dominate more than Toni did and still does
Nope. A single player cannot do it all.

Started watching in 2010, playing in my garage in 2011, learning to skate in 2013, playing varsity for my high school in 2014-2017.
I started skating when I was 3-4 years old
Most hockey players start skating very young. I was in kindergarten when I first stepped on the ice, I have a 3 year old and a 5 year old and they also have already started learning to skate.
Im Canadian, so i was pretty much born with skates on my feet. Hope that helps!
This was a good reaction Conor is amazing also been watching hockey for as long I can remember so close to 40 years

Started on skates at four but there is a photo of me at three with a stick in my hand.
Played defense.
8:39 That’s was LITERALLY Connor Bedard when The Chicago Blackhawks tragically won the 2023 Draft Lottery.
Bro, McDavid & The Great One both stared their careers in cow town 😅.
Big props in discovering an amazing game!
I started playing at 3 next year I’m gonna be 18 it’s gonna be sad stepping away from minor hockey but those 15 year where filled with making good friends and good memories
For a noob, Datsyuk would be a good video to watch. McDavid is a better finisher, but for pure skill at all aspects of the game, Datsyuk is amazing.

I don't remember learning to skate, shortly after learning to walk. I was on a team when I was 4 years old playing ice hockey
Edmonton vs Florida this year for the Stanley Cup Finals. The series starts on Saturday, so McDavid has his chance this year to win a cup
Like Connor as a Canadian I strapped on skates before I did anything else. Most of us played hockey at the age.
living in canada i was watching hockey with my mom as a newborn in the hospital and i started skating and playing at 2/3
Gretsky is on a whole other level. No other player will ever touch his accolades
He was ok
Its pretty impossible for one player to carry a team unless it's a goalie

ted lindsey is voted by journalist, hart is voted by the association, its basically the same thing but the true MVP is the hart
It's not voted by journalists, it's voted by members of the NHLPA. You have it reversed
Hart is hockey media
Ted Lindsay is the players
you got it backwards
The Ted Linsey is a “Players” awarded trophy, the Hart Trophy is the MVP as voted on by the media.
in canada we're usually on skates around 3-4
Most kids growing up in Canada start hockey/figure skating at 4 or 5.

wild to drop this while they are in the Stanley cup finals
Gretzky won 5 cups. You have to watch the first goal in Game 6 of the Western conference (2024) versus Dallas.
First time on skates I was 2, first time in a hockey league was at 4 in an 8 and under roller hockey league.
Bobby Orr is the only player who could control a game on his own.
The oilers just made their first playoff final since 2006
u cant carry like lebron in hockey since at most u play 25 minutes in a game as a single person still have 35 more minutes of a game where ur not on the ice

The ted Lindsay is voted by the players and the hart is voted by the media
you should react to the stanley cup finals game 1 is saturday mcdavid is playing
And now hes finally in the Cup final, bring it home Connor...
I started skating at 3 years old, started playing hockey at 8 years old. I’m 21 and still suck.
he was crazing out about mcdavid's junior numbers just wait until he finds out about lemieux junior career
I think I was 2 years old when I first stepped onto ice with skates.
Ted Lindsey award is different because it is voted on by the players in the NHL.
Art Ross Trophy = Top Point Scorer
Maurice "Rocket" Richard Trophy = Top Goal Scorer
Hart Trophy = League MVP
