It's like you're yelling and whispering at the same time
I'm sick giving it my all
@RobTalksHockey I was just trying to be funny my friend not insulting my apologies get well soon
Haha I know, thanks buddy

Hockey commentary ASMR
All these kids coming into the nhl are absolutely insane. Bedard, Mckenna, hagens, michkov. It’s insane to think about how talent the nhl will be in the upcoming years. It might become the golden age of hockey.
I wouldn't necessarily call it a golden age. I'm hella excited for all the new talent, don't get me wrong, but I think it's moreover just a natural evolution of the game. As time passes, new players are able to learn from increasingly better role models, so then some players are able to breakout and really find their game. Either way hockey is in a good spot.
Meanwhile the goalies seem to be trending toward mid.
lol bro watched the NHL commercial saying the same things lol kids are goofy now a days.
Lots of these guys are not going to have a long NHL career unless they start playing better without the puck just like many others in the past that where supposed to be NHL stars.
Also Demigod end of 2024/25 season
I think Gavin Mackenna will be like a modern day Sidney Crosby. The way he uses his IQ on the ice and his super advanced level of play reminds me a lot of Sid. He's a generational talent. I think at least. The way he dominates the game is at the level of only a Crosby. Martone I think will be like a Corey Perry. He has some grit and strength to his game at a young age like Perry. And he has a missile shot. I can see him becoming that 50 goal point per game power forward who goes in deep playoff runs. If he teams up with a Celebrini, Bedard, McKenna. It's over for the league.
I think off the rush they will be similair but in zone Crosby uses a ton more puck protection and is a lot better around the net
@@user-pn3gt2ij5eI also see a lot of Elias Petterson in his game aswell
What’s Bedard a modern day Kane
@@TheJimmyStDenisShow Na he's own thing tbh. Mix of a Kane and Crosby
@@4u2nvHock3y is Mckenna gonna be better
Think it’s time we stop referring this guy as “bedards cousin”
how are they related?
@@wuhaninstituteofvirology Marriage
Piss missiles 😂😂😂
I don’t like doing this but Hockey is entering a golden talent period here soon. The sport is going to explode when these young guys get up to the next level.
I wish one phrase would stop being used around draft time. "Generational talent"
It's not our fault we got Crosby, Ovechkin, McDavid, Bedard, and now McKenna in a 20 ish year period. Add in Matthews, MacKinnon and Kucherov. Its also hard as scoring is up huge from the 90's/early 00's so people look better stat wise even more than the stars we grew up with.
Bro used it like 100 times in the video lol it’s like “goat”, all you goofy TikTokers overused that word too
I could see Martone being like a Jamie benn with the size good shot net front present and offensive creativity
Ive been thinking about Vessi shoes, i need some new ones. My main concern is how long the soles last. Love the waterproof aspect.
Hey Rob, you do realize wjc-18 means under 18, so you have to be 17 to play. Being 16 would only be underager, not double underager. Makes a huge difference.
Yep that's right. I was under the impression that some 18 years olds could play depending on when their birthday is, but no that's not the case. Regardless, still super impressive
All players born in 06 and later can play under 18, so some players are 18 at the tournament and eligable for the upcoming draft. mckenna is 16 and a 26 draft eligable, so yes he's a double underager, like mcdavid and bedard were in 2013 and 2021
@antonloffelholz7672 that's not everyone though. You have to be 17 when the tournament starts.
What does double underager means please?
@@jackoblllllllll like the name says. U 18 tournament, mckenna was playing it at 16.
I want to be on record as the first guy to refer to Gavin McKenna as 'McGavin' .. The MacGyver of Hockey :)
ps: seriously though, kid is gonna be a beast.
How much of it is due to the absolute destruction of defense? The true defensive dman doesn't exist anymore, breaking records when the guys in front are not taught or allowed to play the same way as before isn't really the same.
Hockey is trending in such a good direction it makes me go from 6 to midnight.
I love Martones game, hes gonna tear up the OHL next season.
Piss missile is such a great and unused description 😂
The quality of young players that keep showing up is good for fans of the game, not just fans of the team they play for.
Which prospect are you most excited to see play in the NHL?
Macklin Celebrini
Not a prospect but I’m excited to see markstrom with the devils
Matvei michkov and Mckenna will destroy the league
@@user-pn3gt2ij5e you can’t say that if you haven’t seen them play nhl hockey
(Rather no one can matter a fact)
@@Noodles-The-Hunter-Vanguard me too, I don’t think there gonna put as much pressure as they did bedard tho as they did in terms of how many points how much time a game.
Well look at the 90s:
Gretzky
Lemieux
Jagr
Hasek
Roy
Brodeur
Bure
Selanne
Borque
Niedermeyer

Generational Talent is not limited to one player. You can argue about my list, but if the first 4 dont make my point perfectly clear, I cant help you. xD
Greetings from Germany. :)
And these guys actually did it against good defense.
Lmao kucherovs highlights from u18 looked so effortless,
Martone, Spence, Misa... Mckenna after that. These kids keep getting better and better.
How is McKenna's defense coming along?
I’m not saying that the USA Canada game wasn’t a great come back and effort but they had an obvious advantage on that powerplay
Rob talks doesn’t miss
He’s gonna be a monster
This video just showed me yankupov and kuch playing on the same line.
I think that goes to show what happened with people drafting him, people probably thout Yak was the power on the line.
Only thing I can think of
Gotta love seeing a guy that just loves to score
Many teams feared that Kucherov wouldn't leave Russia to play in the NHL. He really only went over to the QMJHL because he wasn't getting playing time on CSKA Moscow. It was incredibly fortuitous for TB.
Watching porter martone was like watching prime Corey perry. He’s an all time agitator, and he WILL punish you on the scoresheet.
Wtf, none of them even sniffed Kucherov’s 21 pts in 7 games up until this year. Very exciting to see what is to come!
Generational talent produces generational competition
dont forget to tell that trevor connelly gave canada a 5 minute powerplay
Waiting on a video from you about how the Stanley Cup final is at 3 - 3… or did I miss it already lol. I think Edmonton’s got this!
In the works haha
they did not have it unfortunately, but they do have a bright future. they'll be back.
The game is getting less physical. The kids are being taught to hit less. If you dont have another player targeting you in attempt to crush you into the boards, of course youll be able find more space and score more.
11:52 lmao this whole play is nuts how do you even defend that
#11 whiffed.
Now thats a thumbnail
The league is going to be on fire in a few years at this rate unless goalies get insane.
Merci
I'm worried about Martone. He's so young, after all this I'm worried about his ego and how all this early attention will affect him. But not just him the other guys too
It’s because younger talent is being found more often as the game grows in its skill setting.
Matvei Michkov
Hagens also broke Kucherov's record for most points in a single U18 tournament. Kuch = 21 Hagens = 22. McKenna's 20 points is tied 3th best. Pretty stacked 2024 tournament.
And McKenna did it at age 16, not 17. It’s crazy
Idk about the elias Peterson comparison I see him more as a jack eichel but honestly at higher level and maybe even a bit of a better shot. I could also see him turning into more of an Austin Mathews with less goal scoring and a little more playmaking.
I don’t know about eichel, I think eichel has a better shot and is a better skater. I don’t understand how he’s not an 100 point player. But anyways I really like that Peterson comparison. I think he can be a slightly better Peterson. He’s a similar shooter, both are good skaters and I think McKenna might have even better playmaking.
@@Rberr16 Mckenna is a sick skater and I think he is more of a dangler and Peterson is straight forward quick simple effective player yes he can be flashy but I think Mckenna is more like eichel in that sense
is it a coincidence you picked two american players to compare him to? i think not.
@@blackberrythorns Peterson is Swedish buddy 💀
@@Rberr16 i wasn't addressing you. the op is obviously american.
do they check anymore in these leagues? looks like defense is dead too
good goal scorers will look good shooting
the best goal scorers make the goalies their shooting on look bad
Since he's 12 i knew he was way way too good I'm pretty sure he's going to be called the greatest of all time at like 26 years old. I'm never wrong with generational talents, McDavid and bedard at 15 yo I already knew they were bombs but McKenna is sum else
He's going 1st overall that's for sure, Calgary?
22pts in 7g is not "well over" 3ppg.
Multiple Generational Guys is Totally a Thing:
Gretzky/Lemieux, the all injured generation of Lindros/Forsberg, Sid/Ovi…
The term generational is overused right now active in the league the only players I consider generational are : Ovechkin, Crosby, (Kucherov fringe), (MacKinnon fringe), McDavid, Matthews, Bedard (still need to wait and see)
Matthews lol the only generational players currently are Ovechkin, Crosby, and McDavid. Generational is a once in a generation player. Ovechkin and Crosby happening at the same time is an extreme outlier as their stats are pretty much inseparable. It happened in soccer too with Messi and Ronaldo. 😂 Lemieux and Gretzky eventually overlapped but there was enough time in between to create the separation. Lebron, Kobe, Jordan.
Matthews hasn’t separated himself from his peers in the manner of a generational talent. Bedard’s rookie season was underwhelming. Before you point to his weak team, Crosby still put up a 100+ season in his rookie year with as weak of a team. And it was lower scoring era.
@@maseratimitch531 I can agree with you for Bedard but I think he could reach that level but I’d say he’ll stay fringe like Mack and Kucherov, Matthews on the other hand (I’m a habs fan so it’s painful to say) he’s incredible and his scoring pace is unmatched I’m pretty comfortable calling him generational. He could end his career with 5-7 Richard’s
@@maseratimitch531 Matthews has definitely separated himself last season with his 69 goals
@@maseratimitch531bedard did miss 6 weeks. That's why it SEEMS underwhelming.
Better name title Bedards younger cousin GAVIN MCKENNA is absolutely dominating.
Generational players in league right now? Syd, and ovie although maybe not anymore. Macdavid, mckinnon , matthews, makar, maybe dreiseitl, kutch.
Bedard is yet to be seen
@ThenewMattClark.Canadaprison yeah he had an amazing season but just 1 year can't really call it. I think he will be though.
Gavin is the best
piss missiles lol
Are you telling me Gavin Mckenna and Connor Bedard are related?
(they might be 3th cousins twice removed
FYI, of course scoring is going to go up when they won't let anyone touch each other no matter how clean it is. If the player goes down, the guy near him gets a penalty just like a bunch of soccer players, so of course people can just walk around like they are untouchable. It's kinda like a 5 on 0 with 5 moving pylons
completely braindead take
@wormsonline9507 truth hurts, does it? I actually find it quite intriguing that people of your stature have such childish and non intelligent replies. What do you bring to the table here pup? Have you ever even played the game? I mean like in real life, not on a videogame. Do you know anything about the game?
me in chel
Imagine just being known as Bedard cousin…
cousins never make it ,its only brothers that make it to nhl (think wayne & his younger brother gretzkey = the highest scoring duo of all-time even though its a bit lopsided ...also sons & fathers play together when it was gordie howe & his twins on the hartford whalers all together same time
This guy spends a video highlighting how on point Iginla is and accidentally hypes the wrong player
All these great young men coming up and the nhl will be quick to turn them into media robots like the rest ☹️
Yep ahaha
Feels to me that this generation of hockey players are so laser focused on becoming professionals that the off the ice distractions of yesteryear are long gone. Sure there’s going to be the occasional idiots that drink away their talents, but they seem few and far between now.
It’s probably a combination of there being a magnifying glass on junior hockey(due to past incidents like assaults, hazings, deaths etc) and kids just making mature decisions.
Michkov
That list is compromised cause there's no russian u18s, that's one less A tier team to play against
Future black hawk Gavin McKenna
Does this video need to be 16+ minutes long ? Probably not
You sound like mindsmash…
Whoever says there can only be one generational player at a time is just dumb. Gretzky and Lemieux, Crosby and Ovi.
Waiting for Corey Perry and Mrs Bedards kid . Should be a good player .
all you do is rip music from the brotato game.
They’re cousins through marriage not blood related
are they blood brothers? or only 1/2 sibblings
Don’t put his name in the title or anything… hockey used to be a sport for tough people. The fans never wanted this
Love seeing the next gen worried more about their personal celly than celebrating with their teammates. Going to be the NBA soon. Humility is a lost art.
Then there's bedard who doesn't even celebrate lol
bedrd's cuzn even better than him now, he's gona be better than him 1st overall draft pick in 2027
1st of all, he's going in the 2026 draft. And second of all I would not say better than bedard. They are different players. Ones a sniper with max IQ the other a playmaker with max IQ
Kids these days...
These two have zero biological relation to each other.
