His ability to improvise in the moment is mind blowing. Dodges a goalies poke by pulling the puck back, bouncing it off his skate back to the stick to score. It's like everyone else is in slow motion for him.
I've played with and against guys with that ability. I swear some of these guys can change their mind 10 times a second without fumbling. Fully loaded shot about to be blocked? Just turn it into a perfect sauce pass to the open wing for a one timer, easy.
@@Wordbird69 Same I played with NHL winners and played in the NAHL against a bunch of d1 guys and there is just some who have it. I am a great player but there is another level of ability some dudes have
Watched McDavid play for four years for the Erie Otters in the OHL starting when he was 15 and knew he was going to be great. He was fun to watch then and still is now.
This guy's play style will forever be viewed in awe. The way the play begins almost always seems to have zero sense of a goal being evident until mere seconds into the play does that immediately change. These types of situations almost never yield points and he is just breaking that reality with the gift that he has.
it’s all in his knee bend and upper body. His knees and his head are usually aligned. But a lot of it just comes from practice and training. His edgework is something to behold.
This is a month later from posting this video and McDavid is absolutely blowing EVERYONE away! McD has scored 2 goals against the NHL’s top team last night, the Bruins, and tonight 2 goals vs the Leafs, another top team. McD now has 5…YES 5…2 goal games in a row which is 10 goals and 16 points in his last 5 games! This season so far he has 52 goals 118 points in 62 games! WITH 20 GAMES LEFT TO PLAY! What are the idiots going to do this season to screw McD out of the Hart trophy like they did last season! McDavid is a country mile ahead of the next best from the NHL talent pool and ABSOLUTELY THE MOST VALUABLE TO HIS TEAM BAR “NONE!” JUST AS HE WAS LAST SEASON!
In every generation there is one player that possesses an unstoppable move which completely renders the goalie irrelevant as the skater barrels towards the net, and resulting in a goal. With Connor McDavid, he seems to have five unstoppable moves.
Do you know what McDavid is? Unpredictable... he knows all the way to trick you and he uses them all, he has about 20 moves, and you'll never know when he'll used any of them.... Bow to the master :) I love greatness and I love hockey - YOU ROCK~~
He’s the sole reason why I believe Canada is the world leader in robotics. His processing speed and hand eye speed is a combo that’s been unseen lol. I do agree with his unpredictability though having that many tools in the arsenal can slow down the opposition enough for him to take full advantage of his tools. Completely different sport and play style but it reminds of early Yu Darvish in baseball dude could throw any pitch at an mlb average or above average rate and could make some world class hitters look stupid
I was just talking with my pops about McDavid. We mentioned how he reminds us of Datsyuk. Who happens to be my favorite player of all time! This young lad is amazing
Im born and raised in Calgary and I hate the Oilers as much as anyone could hate a pro sports team.....but I love watching Mcdavid play. I actually watch Oiler games 😢
Мне 35 лет я смотрю хоккей всю жизнь, и в России и НХЛ но я такого не видел никогда. Что за тигр. Канада вперёд буду за вас болеть на чемпионате мира. Жаль не сыграем
He is the fastest skater puck handler off all time when you whatch older goals from before he started playing the older goals look like there in slow motion even gretzkys goals look slow motion Mario all of the greats look so slow there all unbelievable greats but CM is so fast with skating stick handling and thinking where his players are in every rush he is taking a look without getting hit hard just the best complete package ever
@@v4v819 theyre all great, Bure was something really special and Datsyuk is my favorite red wing aside from Yzerman... but none of them compare to the points Connor generates, he's truly elite
Gretzky may not have skated like Orr- who does! But he was an underrated skater! But when you're on a team with Coffey and Messier, it's easy to appear slower than you actually are... Wayne was no slouch of a skater, up there with almost anyone in the league at his prime. If you forget this fact, then simply click on one of his 80's highlights videos- especially the '87 Canada Cup. You're be surprised! In his day he could fly with almost anyone!
@@v4v819 Gretzky was no slouch, he could skate. But he was not lightning fast - nor did he need to be. But if he were that fast - he'd look like Connor McDavid.
A common theme McDavid gets the puck up and all goalies do is go down on their knees and guess.It just baffles me how one dimensional all the goalies in the NHL are they are going down automatically before the shots are even taken. Gretzky was a deceptively good skater he just didn't try and fly down the ice he used smarts.Conor however is an elite skater imo the best skater the NHL has ever seen maybe a mild argument for Mike Gartner but Conor's reach smarts and speed and ability to maneuver is insane. Often people bring up Bobby Orr that is my era and I can tel you even to this day i take Larry Robinson over Orr anytime everytime because Larry was a much more rounded player tough could go end to end but played great defense.There is a video out there where MTL makes an amazing comeback on the bruins i think it was like 5 goals down and Bobby Or was on for 5 of the 7 and was the reason 3 of the goals were scored. What Bobby Orr was good at was rushing the puck and outskating a LOT of weak players because the NHL had a lot of weak spots back in those days so it made it easy.The fact Conor can skate around and through players in this modern era is far superior to anything Orr could do back 45-50 years ago.I also want to make another point it is MUCH easier to rush from the defense position because you can see the entire ice geesh Larry Robinson did the same thing as Orr he could rush it end to end through the entire team he just chose to not do it often because he was a more solid defensemen.
I’m sorry but Gretzky never did shit like this. The only other players that walked through the whole team and finished like this were Lemieux, Jagr, and maybe Bure in his prime.
I think with Vegas winning cup is going to push oilers even more and a farther run this year as long as one of the goalies comes through they are going to be a turf playoff contender if Conner and Dryssettle get same or more points than last year they should be good hopefully Brown comes through Conner wanted him so he knows how good brown is so can't wait for season to start moose hunting and hockey right on peace
I hate the sudden speeding up and slowing down... why? It's annoying. It just messes with the highlights and makes them look fake. It's not needed, man. Same with the weird cuts left and right.
Brrrrrrrrrring. Hello? Hi, is this Joey Vatto? Yeah, who is this? My name is Connor McDavid, I'm the best player in the NHL. My agent told me to call you...said you could teach me how to cope with being the best player in the league while you're stuck on a crappy team.... ... Hello? ...Meet me at the Montgomery Inn Boathouse. 7:00. Bring whiskey. No phones. *click*
They have and he slips by or passes off. I see this comment get brought up a lot. Seriously watch full games of this guy, he is so hard to track. The guys Scott Stevens nailed all had their head down (Lindros? Head down, Kariya? Head down). When does 97 ever have his head down???? Its why players like 97, gretz, Mario, Jagr have long careers. How come nobody talked about Jagr like this? The Guy played in scott stevens era and destroyed him because Jagr rarely was caught with his head down.
You can't. The very second McDavid sees you moving your whole body to hit him, he changes direction and you're flying in the other direction looking like an idiot. Teams are doing everything they can to stop him. If playing the body was easy they would all do it.
Guys been trying to line up McDavid his whole life... Easier said then done when it comes to hitting McDavid he's the most elusive hockey player to ever play
I agree that the game has gotten softer but for good reason, Stevens was an ass who gave several guys permanent brain injuries in the form of, what was thought of then as, dismissible concussions.

McDavid is just insane
The new pavel bure
Seems pretty sane and levelheaded to me.
I agree.. he's unbelievable
He is still even fast even in slow motion. Amazing!
He just plays the game at a different speed than everyone else. He's like Peter Parker fighting Flash Thompson
The video didn’t need to be sped up to show his speed. He’s fast enough to showcase himself
How does he skate so fast
hacks
it’s all in his knee bend and upper body. His knees and his head are usually aligned. But a lot of it just comes from practice and training. His edgework is something to behold.
Practice, technique, fast-twitch muscle fibres, flatulence…
Forget these guys with their technical answers, he actually has little rockets in his skates
@@fuckermgee I thought so
Best player in the league by a landslide! Infact best player I’ve seen in my 20 years of watching hockey
The dude has it all! He won't pass Gretzky in stats, but he's the most talented player the league has ever had up until this point.
This is a month later from posting this video and McDavid is absolutely blowing EVERYONE away! McD has scored 2 goals against the NHL’s top team last night, the Bruins, and tonight 2 goals vs the Leafs, another top team.

That 2min mark goal where he controls the puck with his right hand and uses his left hand to move buddies stick is cheat code beastmode
And those weren’t even his best moments. Just goes to show how good he is.
It's like he's playing fast forward 1.5+ times while everyone else is at regular play speed.
the crazy thing is at least 90 percent of these are from this season alone and its only just over halfway through,
Amazing hands and those skates going fast!
The subhuman twitch is nuts.. seconds to think it out and does it with precision. Amazing.
Even in slow motion I can't understand moving the puck back and forth that fast

This guy is amazing.
The way he skates seriously makes everyone else looks like they belong in a different league.
i have to admit, hes faster than bobby orr-never thought id say that. most skilled player ever to pick up skates
Speed and shot of Pavel Bure, vision and stickhandling of Pavel Datsyuk.
I was just talking with my pops about McDavid. We mentioned how he reminds us of Datsyuk. Who happens to be my favorite player of all time! This young lad is amazing
With his footwork and fast hands he should be an enforcer on his off nights. 6: 11 the goalie felt like he was surrounded but it was just one man.
Connor McDavid deserves a theme song
The best to ever put on a pair of skates hands down no questions
It's crazy how fast he is.
He makes superpro defenders look like kids. It's like time slows down for him and he just whizzes past everyone.
Just! Another level. That’s it.
So pretty much highlights of McDavid
As far ahead of his peers as Bobby was ahead of his! Best player on the ice every night.
He's super awesome
He's a generational beauty. Sure hope there is a Cup in his future.
It's amazing to see how many backcheckers basically just give up once they realize that he has control of the puck within about 12 feet of the net.
Every shift is a superhuman moment.
McDavid is going to make Edmontonians forget all about Gretzky
2:48 his feet literally look like they were edited in post to make them look like they were going faster than normal, that's just insane.
Im born and raised in Calgary and I hate the Oilers as much as anyone could hate a pro sports team.....but I love watching Mcdavid play. I actually watch Oiler games 😢
Keeping any rookies cards of McDavid for the next era💲💲💲💲
Мне 35 лет я смотрю хоккей всю жизнь, и в России и НХЛ но я такого не видел никогда. Что за тигр. Канада вперёд буду за вас болеть на чемпионате мира. Жаль не сыграем
Ok, insane
Tremendous player , needs to get out of Edmonton to win a cup
He's a magician
He is free of rules.....he just flys
Unstoppable
If that locker room talk is true
LETS ENJOY THE NEXT SEASON
FROM THE MAD
CONNOR MCDAVID😮
He is the fastest skater puck handler off all time when you whatch older goals from before he started playing the older goals look like there in slow motion even gretzkys goals look slow motion Mario all of the greats look so slow there all unbelievable greats but CM is so fast with skating stick handling and thinking where his players are in every rush he is taking a look without getting hit hard just the best complete package ever
The only people who are amazed by this video, are people who never saw Gretzky and Lemieux in their prime.
They lost to CBJ last night but his second goal was ridiculous...
mcdavid is the only player to have lived who actually plays like a Be A Pro
Be a bro on EA NHL very easy
If McDavid wants to score, he scores. He's that good
If I want to watch a goal again I can rewind. No need for four replays, it just slows the video down.
moments like these makes the other oilers players looks like they are doing nothing lol
I saw three clips of the same oilers fan
His career highlights will be like 4 hours long.
Right? He has at least one every game. Somehow my CBJ managed to beat them twice this year.😅
that guy is like wtf did I just witness? 0:32
I thought I was watching a NHL video game ✌️😁
Connor mcdavid Brain : puck net. Checkmate.
These are all from the past calendar year, I believe.
Other than the final goal vs wpg :)
Ну да,там ещё холтби на воротах у вашиков
The most talented hockey player to ever play this game...
Apparently, Kovalev never existed in your universe… Bure, too! And don't forget Datsyuk!
Lol…
no Bobby Orr!
Mario Lemieux !
@@v4v819 theyre all great, Bure was something really special and Datsyuk is my favorite red wing aside from Yzerman... but none of them compare to the points Connor generates, he's truly elite

One player making a hole team stand still and watch his amazing skills...hes the chuck Norris of canadian hockey
Penguins fan here- I must admit that McDavid is somewhere on Mario*s level.Sid the Kid is an excellent player,but definitely not on the same level.
Both of them are better than LeMieux.
@@MS-ii1sv No BS
@@wild_insomnia If you're the best player now or in 2010 then you are better than the best player in 1993.
How do you stop McDavid? Be the golden knights

Nobody checked him. It seemed like he played alone.
i love you
Tony Tanti scored more goals on a season than Connor.
Once. In junior hockey. Tanti hit 45 in the NHL.
his definitely the best player in the world but this video is sped up ever so slightly..
По стилю игры похожь на Харламова 😳😉🔝🤫💯💪🤠
Может его насмотрелся и решил повторить всё прошлое.
Только намного стабильнее и намного быстрее.
I’m a long time goalie he shows zero. There’s no way to read him.
Реинкарнация Буре
Thank god he is on such a bad team, otherwise he would create a huge problem for the rest of the league.
Hes gunna make a lot of goalies quit.
I hate the sudden speeding up and slowing down... why? It's annoying. It just messes with the highlights and makes them look fake. It's not needed, man. Same with the weird cuts left and right.
Evry body says christiano ronaldo is the perfect player but i feel like connor here could be the one to
The NHL is like the no check league I play in. What a joke
He makes all the others on the ice look shite
He's going to be the best player to never win a cup.
Why do you mix spectacular goals with decent but nothing special?
Gonna quit this video after 2,5min. Hate these wrong titles.
😢 McDavid doesn't play for my team
