I appreciate my parents so much for driving me up to 5 hours for hockey games. As a kid you think you are just going to a game but what we don’t realize until we are older is the fuel cost and the time they take off work to let us play the game we love. Wish I could’ve went further in my career to give them back half of what they gave me.
A quick comment on hockey. You can’t really appreciate the speed of the game unless you see it live. Video and television Cannot really capture the speed.
The last part with St-Louis, he's from my province in Canada (Quebec) he recently did an interview in French about this. Basically, when he learned of his mother's death he took a direct plane to see his family to mourn and asked his dad what he should do (the rangers were in the middle of playoffs) and his fathers replied to him: she would have wanted you to play so go play hockey. I cried so much during that interview
This is breathtaking. Literally, takes your breath away. I think athletes at the top of their game are absolute poetry in motion, they are beautiful to watch. I sometimes forget the toughness & brutality of sports when I get lost in watching talented athletes make magic happen.
And the one thing that everyone forgets from time to time. These guys look like they are using cheat codes to move like they do, and they are doing it wearing knife shoes on frozen water.
@@katharrell3737 as a hockey player myself, skating becomes second nature just like riding a bike. Now 21 yrs old, only played in minor leagues but I was always considered the ''better skater'' and I've yet to figure out how skating came to me so naturally. All this to say, guys like crosby or mcdavid (like other legends across all sports) just seem to have been given the gift of knowing how to master something, but where the real credit they deserve comes from them capitalizing / making the most of the opportunities made possible for them by this ''mastery gift'' if you will.
i think every hockey fan remember very well his first WOW moment that get them addicted to the game. For me it was 2001 Stanley Cup final 7th match, the first one i remember to fully watch. That was an amazing second prolongation win for Colorado Avalanches and damn, that game was amazing
Die hard avs fan since 95 here. That was perhaps the greatest night in sports for me. Especially when Sakic hands off the cup to Bourque was definitely an im not crying yer crying moment. And then they pan over to Bourque's son who is crying. I totally lost it lol. Getting teary eyed just typing it lol. IMO Hockey is the most emotional sport in existence.
I'm sure most people missed this, but when the video *showed is of fighting. it didn't *say* "The beauty or ---" write it or say it here. The NHL Commissioner changed the rules in that fights are not legal or some other variation. I call it just like the "Fight Club". The first rule of the Fight Club is there isn't any Fight Club.
I just found out from the Leafs Amazon series that Jack Campbell tore his groin and insisted on finishing the game. Jesus, hockey players will play through just about anything, but that's just another level of dedication.
We fans in the Seattle area are ready to cheer for the Seattle Kraken! Since the Seattle Metropolitans won the Stanley Cup in 1918 becoming the first American team to win it, we have had over 100 years of great minor league and Major Junior hockey. On the day that you could put a down payment for season tickets there were 10,000 requests in the first 720 seconds! I'm ready, being a hockey fan since I was a child in the '60s!
I remember back in the 90’s, American television started broadcasting regular season and playoff hockey. What caught many new American fans off guard in the playoffs was what took place at the end of the series. No matter how nasty, hard hitting and tempestuous the series was, the opponents always line up and shake hands. It’s the Canadian thing to do.
@Trade Bum Simmons Only in hockey, as best as I can tell, is there a formal process where they lineup and shake hands. In other sports it's less formal and more ad hoc.
Hockey is just the most awesome sport especially the playoffs. When the playoffs start all other things in my life stop and cease too exist, just love it. Good video brother look forward to more as always.👍✌
Kabir is Nigerian and British, so he's well versed in soccer. Off the ball movement is super important there too. I'm a Man U fan and remember, fondly, lots of goals by guys like Ruud van Nistelrooy and Dimitar Berbatov where their chances and goals frequently came as a result of what they did without the ball.
The NHL players are on average, the lowest paid athletes among the four major North American sports Leagues Hockey isn't my favorite sport. But It's Top 3. My 2nd favorite team sport. I love the blue collar nature of the sport and attitude of most the players.
Grew up 30 mins from Detroit, Michigan. Played hockey all my life and I can promise you there is no one as skilled as pavel. Another great for the red wings was Sergei fedorov!
I disagree with you Datsuk is a great fantastic player but I gotta go with my man Patrick Kane from the Chicago Blackhawks. But its all just opinion eh!
Alexi Kovalev was better technically. Perhaps the best of all time. I recall reading stories of him growing up in the Soviet Union, his youth coaches during practice would have him play keep-away with the puck with everyone else on the team trying to dispossess him.
I would recommend watching some hockey night in canada playoff closing montages, I would recommend 2014 and before, espn bought the channel and replaced the person doing them, they had some soul before espn took over. Probably can't do reaction to them since most of them are copies.
My fave part of that Martin St.Loius story was that Syd Crosby found him before the game to give condolences for his loss. Hockey players are all teammates on some level. Even right after punching each others faces in, they usually tap each other out of respect.
They should have had a segment on the beauty of fans and showed the video of me falling down the stairs at the Boston garden while holding a tray of four beers and two plates of nacho's.
It just goes without saying but all of the sports that we love possess a beauty and artistry that only the truly initiated can appreciate. It takes a brilliantly produced video like this one that so clearly demonstrates the beautiful skills and abilities that these players posses. As a casual hockey fan, it made me feel like I really didn't know a damn thing about this exquisite game. When played at its highest level, it equals in creativity, finesse, artistry, style, energy, courage, toughness and intensity, any game I've ever seen played. I admit that I have a whole new respect for this game and the warriors who play it. That is something I definitely did not expect when I got here today. Well done Kabir and neutralzoneHD!!! Mind completely blown!!! 🏒🏒🏒🏒🏒🏒
Yeah, Datsyuk can be argued as the best or one of the best dangler's in history... he's filthy mcnasty with those silky mitts... Patty Kane and McDavid are up there too. Can't wait for the season to start in a couple of weeks... there's nothing like seeing it live so hurry up and get over here so you can experience it asap lol
You said you got goosebumps from watching the video, you can't imagine the rush of emotions you get from watching your team live, win. It's a Canadian thing, we have pride in our hockey players, kids learn to skate practically as soon as they learn to walk, boys get plastic hockey sticks when they're 2, it's definitely our sport. I mean let's face it, you have this much winter you have to make it fun! 🇨🇦
hockey is such a fun sport to watch and I really enjoy it. I hope for the future of the sport that it becomes more diverse and inclusive, there's been some pushes to make it more accessible for BIPOC and LGBT players, there's been a lot of charity work and organizations funded by NHL teams pushing to include children that may not be able to afford all of the equipment, which present a huge financial and time barrier entry for kids interested in the sport. like most professional sports there's still a ways to go for more inclusion. I think there is finally an openly gay NHL player as of this year, Luke Prokop. PK and Malcolm Subban, who are brothers, are two incredible black NHL players that have gained a lot of positive attention in recent years, just as examples. I became a big Blackhawks fan back in 2010 when they were on the path to the Stanley cup and hockey is still my absolute favorite sport to watch, even if the Blackhawks now consistently break my heart every year instead of smashing records like they used to lol.
Even as an Anaheim Ducks fan (the LA Kings’ crosstown brutal rivals), I was able to appreciate when you clapped at 10:27 haha 😅 Splendid to see how passionate a hockey fan you’re becoming!!!
I really appreciate how well done your videos are, how nice and open your reactions and opinions are, and it's so cool how big the variety of things is that you react to!! Massive respect for you, keep up the great work! I'm so glad I've found you now while you're still a smaller channel and not years down the line haha
Until you react to Wayne Gretzky, you haven't experienced the best of hockey. He's the Great One for a reason. Number 99 was retired League-wide when he stopped playing.
@@kabirconsiders the only NHL player to have his number retired league wide, and the 2nd to have a number retired league wide (MLB- #42 Jackie Robinson
The BEST technical player ever was Ilya "The Genius" Kovalchuk. He plays for Avangard Omsk in the KHL, currently, but, he was the #1 draft pick for the Atlanta Thrashers in 2001.
5:10 That would have been disallowed. You can not hit the puck towards the net in attempt to score a goal with a high stick. Goal cross bar is the level.
Kabri when you said you got goosebumps i had goosebumps to at that same moment. And towards the end with Martin St. Louis i almost cried!! I was watching that game live. To hear the story and then he still chooses to play and ends up scoring a huge goal!!! What a hockey player! I believe he retired after that season.
lets relax at the "strength of a football player" lol.. nfl players can be like 6'5" 350 pounds and still run a 4.3 40 meter dash without having the mechanical advantage of skates on ice to speed them up. some of those guys bench over 400 lbs. hockey players rely on the speed achieved with the skates to give most of their power when they really deck a guy. (for those of you who disagree with me, just be aware i am a hockey player myself, im not hating)
I played hockey as a kid, We never froze our puck, the weather and rink did that for us. Our biggest problems with pucks was that they chipped to smithereens after a while. The game is so fast you _have_ to be a quick thinker to play it well, and your body _must_ use oxygen efficiently or you just can't keep up with the skating, it is so fast. Quickness and speed describe the game quite well, and tremendous athletic ability. The guys who can stick handle are like wizards to watch. One of the best I ever saw was Jaromir Jagr of the Pittsburgh Penguins. He seemed capable of turning guys inside out and embarrassing them as if it was nothing.
When i lived in Atlanta i went to many games before they went to Calgary....great reaction Kabir..Kent in Ohio. my favorite team has been the Red Wings since the early 70's...
I would say Sidney Crosby is the most technical, you should react to Sidney Crosby edge work and puck protection, you could probably record both videos.
I wish other sports would let themselves self regulate like hockey does. But in a kind of….civil manner? Like the hockey code. I don’t think it will ever happen in any other sport as fighting was ingrained in hockey probably because there were no referees to begin with. Now that it’s part of the game you can’t get rid of it. As much as media and what not will try and tell you it’s barbaric it’s simply humans creating a dynamic based on honour and maintaining that honour via threat of physical retribution
They didn't show the first goal of the Blackhawk's Stanley Cup. They were trailing with one minute eighteen seconds left in the game when Brian Bickell scored. Then seventeen seconds later Bolland scored the goal they showed so they literally won the Cup on a night many thought they were about to travel back to Chicago for game 7.
Kind of annoying the only plays they show the flyers in is when they are either getting hit, scored on, or being saved..it’s a decent video just very bias against the flyers and you can tell with all the devils, caps, and penguins plays…also not all those shots are going at 100mph lol majority are probably around the 75-90 range unless they are taking a slap shot
There’s no doubt. #13 is and always will be the style and skill master. He may never have won a hall of fame scoring title but he will always be the man.
Hockey is such an underrated sport. I was lucky enough to work with the athletic staff of the 2015 champion chicago blackhawks. Those crowds are the loudest I’ll probably hear. The national anthem will leave your ears ringing as well. Just nuts.
Even as an Anaheim Ducks fan (the LA Kings’ crosstown brutal rivals), I was able to appreciate when you clapped at 10:27 haha 😅 Splendid to see how passionate a hockey fan you’re becoming!!!
Randomredsoxguy, even as a Kings fan I love the Ducks. I got a kick out of them being called Duck a la orange because they are from down the freeway in Orange County! Those were the days at the "Fabulous Forum"!
A lot of people are saying Ovechkin is the best goal scorer of all time (I think a lot of those people forget how good Gretzky was at scoring goals, his goal scoring was massively overshadowed by his playmaking but no one has come close to his 50 goals in 39 games), I’ll say he’s the 2nd best goal scorer of all time but definitely a highly skilled player.
Ovenchicken is on pace to pass Gretzky, also Gretzky played during an era where it was much easier to score goals. Even Gretzky has acknowledged the high speed and skill level of many players today exceeds his own.
@Deus Salis! I disagree completely. Gretzky scored all his goals at a time when it was much HARDER to score goals! With all the rule changes, and additions, to make it easier to score goals, The Great One had a much harder time scoring than current players!
I wondered for a while why Hockey isnt at least practiced in some form at a semi-pro level in Great Britain. It has the weather to support it, theyre not too poor to afford the basic gear. Yeah I know culturally Football and even Rugby are more ingrained but globally its been picking up in other nordic countries.
Another great hockey reaction. 18 days until the start of the NHL season 🏒🏒
Thanks bro :) can’t wait for the season to start
Go Flames Go 🔥

Changing the Red Wings' division, and removing that Avs Wings rivalry was the worst decision the NHL has ever made. Those were the best series. 👌
Pavel truly was magical, outsized but never outmatched!
It's about damn time! 😁
A long time coming!

Thanks brother :) its such an underrated sport, I cant wait to catch my first game in a rink
In hockey, the action away from the puck is as important as the puck play. It's a nuance that some fans never really appreciate.
Kabir is Nigerian and British, so he's well versed in soccer. Off the ball movement is super important there too. I'm a Man U fan and remember, fondly, lots of goals by guys like Ruud van Nistelrooy and Dimitar Berbatov where their chances and goals frequently came as a result of what they did without the ball.
You should react to the 2017 series between the Penguins and the Senators, such a highly contested series and amazing ending.
Nakita Kucherov from the Tampa Bay Lightning is the best ever
The NHL players are on average, the lowest paid athletes among the four major North American sports Leagues Hockey isn't my favorite sport. But It's Top 3. My 2nd favorite team sport. I love the blue collar nature of the sport and attitude of most the players.

That video is so well done... other than that fucking font at the beginning like why? Its barely better than comic sans
Hockey really is the most beautiful game ever conceived. 😍 It's as close to perfect as a game can be.

I forgot about St Louis. Just teared up from that clip.
Wayne Gretzky, Bobby Orr. The best ever.

Thanks mate :) can’t wait to get to my first game
Yeah, Datsyuk can be argued as the best or one of the best dangler's in history... he's filthy mcnasty with those silky mitts... Patty Kane and McDavid are up there too.

React to Pavel Bure. Early-mid 90s. Most of these tricks remind me of him, most exciting player of the 90s. Looks like he inspired these guys
Hockey clearly requires the most overall skill and athleticism of any sport. Probably followed by football (and I don’t mean NFL).
best stick handler and scorer ever was Maurice Richard , and second best was Bobby Orr , followed by Guy Lafleur ,
Yes hockey is beautiful sport I've watching it since 1993 with the Anaheim Ducks still do.
Hockey 🏒 is just beautiful, it's passion, it's craziness and elegance with so much energy.
Watch vintage Mario Lemieux, five goals five ways.
Did u do reaction video of Conor McDavid goal , if not just do it
I did a few days ago, hes incredible!

Datsyuk is disgusting, but in terms of pure technique, Crosby is the best of his generation. Theres no question
Greatest game.... in the world! (the most fun to play as well!)
If you noticed St. Louis mouthed the words “ ma coeur “ ( my heart ) as he skated off.
HOCKEY IS THE BEST SPORT EVER, VIVE MONTREAL!!!!!!
Corey Crawford was beaten on about 10 of those goals.
Hockey is such an underrated sport. I was lucky enough to work with the athletic staff of the 2015 champion chicago blackhawks. Those crowds are the loudest I’ll probably hear. The national anthem will leave your ears ringing as well. Just nuts.
best slap shot ? that has to go to the player who not only invented it, but put the most fear in the hearts of goal tenders , Boom Boom Geoffrion
Hearing Edzo calling all these playoff games always throws me off. I forget he's a national announcer as well as a Hawks guy
Check out Patrick Kane shootout goals!!
i'll put it on my list!
@@kabirconsiders just saw that you have a pat kane video!! No need man loved your reaction
I'm sure it's been said or you may have watched already but.......McDavid....just watch his top 10
Coming soon mate :)
Even as an Anaheim Ducks fan (the LA Kings’ crosstown brutal rivals), I was able to appreciate when you clapped at 10:27 haha 😅 Splendid to see how passionate a hockey fan you’re becoming!!!
Randomredsoxguy, even as a Kings fan I love the Ducks. I got a kick out of them being called Duck a la orange because they are from down the freeway in Orange County!
Those were the days at the "Fabulous Forum"!
WOops I didn’t realize this comment submitted twice! 😂
I’ve seen that 50 times. Awesome.
About time😉
Took me a while but I finally got to it 😂
@@kabirconsiders totally worth it, right?
Man i love your take on Datsyuk spot on
conner mcdavid is the new master.
Nathan MacKinnon is one guy you need to see
You need to see an NHL game when in the US.
I'm a MLB fan ⚾, but I'm a newbie to NHL hockey 🏒 Watching from London.🇬🇧
Nice acoustic guitar in the background mate. ❤️
A lot of people are saying Ovechkin is the best goal scorer of all time (I think a lot of those people forget how good Gretzky was at scoring goals, his goal scoring was massively overshadowed by his playmaking but no one has come close to his 50 goals in 39 games), I’ll say he’s the 2nd best goal scorer of all time but definitely a highly skilled player.
Ovenchicken is on pace to pass Gretzky, also Gretzky played during an era where it was much easier to score goals.
Even Gretzky has acknowledged the high speed and skill level of many players today exceeds his own.
@Deus Salis! I disagree completely. Gretzky scored all his goals at a time when it was much HARDER to score goals! With all the rule changes, and additions, to make it easier to score goals, The Great One had a much harder time scoring than current players!
The greatest thing about hockey: "He's hurt. He's hurt." Yeah but 5 minutes later he'll be back taking his next shift. Savage!
Yep these dudes are warriors!
I wondered for a while why Hockey isnt at least practiced in some form at a semi-pro level in Great Britain. It has the weather to support it, theyre not too poor to afford the basic gear. Yeah I know culturally Football and even Rugby are more ingrained but globally its been picking up in other nordic countries.
It definitely is, got a coach from Scotland hell show us highlights for the UK from time to time
