Yes. Very good. Authentic, legitimate real game play type of challenges. Hoping next year they add a few more players, there’s a few I’d wanted to see participate in this. But compared to what the All Star skills has been, this was good
He was also asked that exact same question probably 10 times today, always saying how great it is to play in front of friends and family. At least the oilers fans was a new part of the same old question..
Best skills comp they've done in quite a few years, from the electronic targets that didn't read shots to the gimmicky events I'm glad they seem to have brought it back to regular events and the one million dollar prize is a nice incentive. Never been a Kuch fan but almost felt bad for him, he's had a few tough events over the years.
Hope so… number 6 and it will come to our Edmonton OILERS by quest and guided hand and stretched out arm and lighted torch and hockey stick of Connor McDAVID
Overall good choices on the types of Skills Events. I'd like to see more variety in players throughout events though. And add 2 Events. Breakaway Challenge. Tone it down on theatrics and it could be great. And finally, BRING BACK THE GOALIE RACE! 8 Events where skaters can earn points. 8 Skaters participate in each event. Skaters are allowed to participate in Max 4 Events so they have to choose wisely on which ones. Top 6 in Points from the 8 events get the Obstacle Course Event. 1 of those events the Goalies can earn money - One on One and an extra Goalie Event in the GOALIE RACE Tournament Bracket where winner gets money. Skater Events - Fastest Skater / One Timers / Passing Challenge / Hardest Shot / Stick Handling / Accuracy Shooting / One-On-One / Breakaway Challenge // Obstacle Course Final Goalie Events - One-On-One / GOALIE RACE Biznasty and PK Subban Host / 4 Teams each with Captain and Alternate Captain and Celebrity Coach / Player Draft in smaller studio setting Max 4 Skaters and 1 Goalie per NHL Team Friday - Player Draft / PWHL Showcase Game Saturday - Skills Competition Sunday - Legends Game / All Star Games
Notice how the winner of the All Star competitions will choke in the playoffs as usual while 8th place and 12th place are the two best players in the world? I sure did.
Did Makar almost steal that $1M from McDavid by only a couple secs? Was also kinda surprised how bad McDavid was in the goalie comp too. Georgiev was on it. Funny how both players were from the Avs too ha.
Here's an idea - next year, have a lottery to partner with one of the all-stars- you get a trip to see the game , and if your all-star wins, you get half the money - you can choose someone from your favorite team, or just a player you like, or that you think will win. So there is some strategy to it as well.
@@lelouchvibritannia4028 you mean like how ppl thought they had much more firepower than the avs in the playoffs and then they got sweeped? oilers have some fancy players, but they dont have that IT factor.

All of these players are incredibly gifted; three or more standard deviations above the mean hockey skill for a large young adult male. And despite all of that elite talent, it’s a bit mind-blowing to see just how much more skillful McDavid is, above his peers.
@@EpicEric2002 I disagree totally theses guys are paid MILLIONS to play a game MILLIONS not 10 000$ not 100 000$ MILLIONS of dollars my friend... the least they can do is promote the game 1 time a year or 2 and do certains things for the league they aren't flipping burger at mcdonalds at 10$ box a hour man cmon wakeup a bit... when you are placed in that position with all the advertising and everything around Crosby Mcdavid and all the others top players it's the least you can do to show up a few hours to promote hockey don't forget the price of the tickets ppl pay to go see them in toronto too or at normal games
I’m bad at reading sarcasm so forgive me if I missed it but Matthews has the least assists out of anyone that participated in the event, so it’s not very surprising lol
Hi all!!! I'm from Russia. I'm not a fan of Edmonton. Of course I love hockey as a sport. But Connor McDavid is a man from another planet. For the sake of such a player, the club’s personal jersey number must be removed from the back! I just admire the way he plays!
@@GarettRyan-l1v Better question is who cares about the skill competition at all? No one. They gave the money away to attract viewers and sponsors. They failed, still no one cares. The money could be spent better in a hundred different ways.
Connor McDAVID IS THE WORLDs UNDISPUTED GREATEST HOCKEY PLAYER IN THE WORLD - undisputed G.O.A.T OF ALL TIME… HE showed HIS amazing god like SKILLS AND TALENTs -LIGHTS OUT! IN THE ALL STAR SKILLS COMPETITION TONIGHT… CONNOR BEDARD was the guest commentator for ESPN AND Matthews stood by and cried…

So much better than past skills competitions. A far better look at what they can do.
No silly costumes, props, surfboards or golf courses. Just pure hockey type event. New format is way better. Just gotta work out some of the kinks
I would have liked to see which hockey player gets to dunk Gary Buttman in the water idea …,please no more expansion
It's because they wanted to make it more fun for non hockey fans, this is not an issue when in Canada
@@charleskletter8974 I would pay top dollar to watch that in person!

love how when he was asked about how it was to play in his hometown just ignores it and talks about the OIlers fans.
He's not stupid, he knows how any other answer would play in Edmonton.
He was also asked that exact same question probably 10 times today, always saying how great it is to play in front of friends and family. At least the oilers fans was a new part of the same old question..
He should have answered "It feels pretty much the same as the times I've played against the leafs?". Seems like a dumb question to ask anyways.
@@Melrose781they were priming him to play for the Laughs
I was looking for this comment xD
Barzel not adjusting his angle on those shots was pissing me off. 😂
McDavid is still not human. By the way, Nylander made it farther than I expected. #4 is not bad.
He’s gotta prove to the home crowd that he’s worth the cap hit
I genuinely think Nylander could've beat him, he just got a little too excited
Don't worry, McPrincess will choke in the playoffs, as usual.
@@lelouchvibritannia4028how do you feel after him winning the Conn Smythe?
I felt bad for the guy when the reporter brought up that he designed the challenges. I mean sure, but no doubt this guy deserved to win
I mean, was it even a question that this dude is the best
No, but he wanted a cheque that said it anyway 😂

McDavid is of course incredible as always, but I liked Makar the most, he made a good impression and I was rooting for him that night.
Макди как всегда красавчик,в смысле исполнения👏👏👏
McDavid is on a mission ,number 6 is coming to Edmonton this year!!!

Nobody skates better than McDavid. Nobody shoots better than Matthews. Nobody is more dynamic than MacKinnon. Nobody is more beautiful than Nylander.
Connor McDavid is not human 🙌
I read no lies
He’s super human
He's a fckin cyborg.
He's a FAlRY
Weird take. Cheating is definitely a human attribute
Connor really needed that million dollars

I think he hurried to much. In game he normally takes his time and outlooks the goalie. Here he just shot immediately.
Here's an idea - next year, have a lottery to partner with one of the all-stars- you get a trip to see the game , and if your all-star wins, you get half the money - you can choose someone from your favorite team, or just a player you like, or that you think will win.

I like this but maybe a third goes to the player, a third to the fan, and a third to charity

There should be time penalties if you knock over the Cans .
Kinda like when they allowed Wayne cheating in his First All Star Game .
Dude just rolled over the obstacles 😂
First time I've watched the Skills Comp in years. Love that it's gone back to the basics and no gimmicks.
Connor McJesus!!

@@Frosty_47 yes of course but even during games he misses a lot so this isn’t surprising
So joyful to see Connor get that million dollars, so happy for him!
i bet you anything. McDavid will be donating most of that money to the city he plays for
So he won the events he designed?? Nice to have a leg up on the competition!
Kucherov lost lots of respect toward him
Didn't from me imo players shouldn't be forced by suspension or fines to go to the all star game it should be a players choice in the end

Welcome to the McGlazing weekend where we see which announcer can suck the hardest…
he thought it was, yanno it was fun. uh it was fun
Not really fair this favours the lefties. The last shot on goal gets a better angle for lefties.
Generational talent, wow.
Slay! WE LOVE YOU CONNER LETS GO OILERS

Lmfao so no punishment for knocking over obstacles?
Lop cry
Yeah I thought that was silly, there should be 1 second added or something
cope
@@CanadaECommerce McDavid still wins Evan with the time penalty. It’s just a bit closer.
Actually, the offenders were taken out back and beaten severely. But they decided not to show it. Bad optics but good discipline.
As an oilers fan i am so proud to be born in edmonton
Awesome skills competition!! Nice little summary of how the Oilers and McJesus are playing lately
