His game 7 OT assist against VGK is grossly underrated. Should be on this list. One of the best look-off passes of all time.
He is such a joy to watch, I miss him in a Sens jersey. I hope they're enjoying the EK show in SJ.
Yah but it doesnt deserve to be on here over these 5 plays, an honorable mention at best
He also intercepted the breakout pass before setting up Goodrow for the winner.
What game is that ?
Thereself I don’t know. It’s a very subtle look off, but absolutely brilliant.
LMAO sharks thumbnail but all of his highlights are in Ottawa
No highlights with the sharks
lol
Of course it will in Ottawa , I will be shocked if it wasn't
@@bryanflores3633 game 7 vs. Vegas could have made it here
That's because he was awesome in Ottawa, and San Jose is a huge mess of players that are too old to play lol
Let’s be real here; Karlssons heart will always be in Ottawa
I’m a sharks fan and even I know that’s true. Ouch
Well he spent more time there Ithink now he is more focused on a cup so I expect a breakout year from him
@@offbrandphil146 the cup is always the goal for every player
his prime too
He loved living here, he loved the fans. Piss poor franchise with a piss poor owner and management though.
He deserved better. I miss him.
Not an Ottawa fan at all but there was no doubt in my mind that stretch pass to Hoffman would be #1. Seriously one of the most impressive passes I've ever seen all-time
its my favourite pass ever. is this hockey or football?
I mean the forsberg finish too....unreal hockey
he was like a quarterback making those passes.
If he played for the Leafs they'd say it was the best pass off all time
Karlson can make a goal with a beautiful one handed and the main focus would be on his pass
Every minute of the 2017 playoff run should be on here
I’m a pens fan but I will always admire Erik and that run in 2017 was legendary
Vintage Erik Karlsson was on another level, coming from a Habs fan
Giving Ottawa the 3rd overall pick should’ve been here.
Ouch.
You're right, but ouch.
@@lucasgnos6193 meh will they be better than Prime Karlsson? It's gonna be hard.
KaleFGB they’ll be better than current Karlson lmao
@@Tek3333 karlsson is still good.
The sharks are in win now mode or were when they made the trade so it is even based on priorities
This needs to be updated with plays from his absolute tear this year.
#3 still gives me goosebumps...WOW!
The notion of Karls best play was a hook up with Hoff is pretty poetic. Miss him in Ottawa, but thanks for the memories.
Hoffman's pass reception was nothing short of magnificent
Still brings a smile to my face
I'm an Islanders fan whose favorite player growing up was Erik Karlsson. Hearing Denis Potvin gush over EK65 is really something.
breaks my heart watching this.
Karl in the 2017 playoffs was a top 3 player in the league. Shame he was never the same after.
He was the best in the world at that time tbh
This aged well 😂
Injuries
Aged like milk bruv. Congrats to EK on the Norris!
Notice how all of these are with the sens
Sens Karlsson will always be the best
Notice how there is no sanjose plays on here of him.
I don't care if its been a few years, EK is still my favorite defenseman of all time.
Looks like your opinion has been aging like fine wine
ONE OF MY IDOLS AND HEROES
The expansion draft in losing Methot was the beginning of the downfall for the Senators
Did they kept Ceci over him? lol
@@oullerslb and Phaneuf, but it wasn't a choice. Phaneuf refused to waive his no-move clause which is very understandable and I don't blame him for using his rights.
that was a piss off move..n yet they keep that pylon ceci over methot .. bull hickey
They kept Phaneuf , Boroweicki , Chris wideman, ceci ....
Henry Duong Borowiecki might not be as useful as a healthy Methot (that guy was the perfect partner for Karlsson) but he’s sort of a workhorse and better than Ceci and Phaneuf
As a sharks fan I’m disappointed in his production for his cap hit and what we gave up. A top pick right now for are team would be amazing. I’m also excited to see him next year after all the rest and recovery this pandemic has given these guys. Will he live up to expectations? The odds may not be in his favor but I’m excited to see how next season plays out.
I am a Sens fan. I am not sure if you are aware but, his first child ever was still born. He might be one of the most skilled athletes on the ice in the world, but it must have been very mentally difficult for him. For professional athletes to perform and live upto their expectations, all matters must be properly taken care of - mental, physical and mechanical.
No offense to your team, but you didn't need a player like Karlsson, you already had Burns. As great as these dynamic defencemen are, you can't have too many on one team. The Sens had a game plan that put the puck on Karlsson's stick as much as possible, it's a totally different system in SJ.
Even if karlsson returned to his level of play, ottawa will still have won the trade, Tim Stutzle, Josh Norris and Chris Tierney for their entire career>karlsson making over 11m a year till he's deep into his thirties
He'll bounce back if he's healthy. He's too good not to.
Wish he lifted the cup in 2017..
“This is Norris” will forever be legendary
Especially considering Denis Potvin was the one who said that. He would know better than any of us.
MY IDOL AND HERO
I love how 4 of the plays all started in the Defensive zone
is getting outta Ottawa on this list?
Well, San Jose isn't exactly in a great position right now either
He loved/loves Ottawa, he hates Melnyk.
Oh yah, and the sharks are just doing fantastic themselves
N R Key get of the Sens organization? Yes
Get out of the city of Ottawa? I don’t think so. He really loves the city as much as Alfredsson and apparently spent his offseason there.
I’m sure he loves leaving the city where the whole city and fan base loves him and going to a team where the whole fan base hates him. San Jose and Ottawa both suck rn but one has an elite prospect pool so.... getting outta Ottawa shouldn’t be on this list
Let’s put it this way: I rooted for The Sens until Karlsson was traded. Not my team, but still, I loved watching him play. Turris, and Hoffman, too, and of course, the Hamburgler.
Whoa!! Whoa!!! Awesome EK65
I went to one of the home games back when they played at Lansdowne, I’ve seen the 07 final loss to the ducks, I’ve seen Alfie walk, but I haven’t been able to watch hockey since we lost Karlsson. He was honestly our second coming and they let him leave to save alittle bit of money that Ottawa will continue to invest in “rebuilds”
Aka being the professional farm team for the NHL cause they’ll never sign big contracts and it’s where the old players go to die.
Seems your fortunes have changed of late
@@PapaCOH2 we’ve lucked out alittle and the future seems like it could be promising, but every Sens fan has felt that with some big contracts…. It’s the follow through on the players and if they pan out, keeping them happy not asking for trades or the inevitable raise once the contract is up. I know Karlsson never hit the heights he did with the Sens again, but I still miss him and Methot dominating the ice
As a Swede I also love him for his offensive skills, but I don’t let that blind me from the fact that he has only had 4 +seasons out of 17. To me defensively he is not Norris. The NHL should split the Norris into different categories including best offensive defenseman, best defensive defenseman, best +- stats for a defenseman and Norris(best defenseman considered all three categories)
How can you get the Norris if you have a big -season?.. It undermines the purpose of that prize.
Absolute legend. Sens legend that is. Not sharks.
I miss him sooooo much
The Saucer Pass Hail Mary is legendary
One of the best goals ever scored - the best saucer pass and one of the slickest finishes too, and in a playoff game.
Offside/onside...
It hurt to see him leave. Hope he does well in the Bay.
He hasnt
Curtis Raiburn he did well financially lol
@@cr33922 when hes healthy and is given more of a leadership role. He will light it up. I believe he lead the team in points actually.
@@evanferris5035 he wasn't healthy in most of these clips lol
The best Erik Karlsson play of his career was sponsored by irony.
3:10 one of the best things about that pass is that it wasn't even difficult for EK. Probably the only reason he doesn't do it more often is because he doesn't want to seem like a show-off.
I haven’t seen him have on play like this in SJ. He’s always gonna be a senator
0:34 - Karl Eriksson is just so good
That last pass: so clean
For everyone saying "No SanJose Highilights"... yeah he was with ottawa for like 9 years what did you expect? Hes been with san jose for barely 2 seasons
Great sauce my gosh
He moved to San Jose, but his talents stayed in Ottawa.
5 worst sharks nightmares:
Nr 1 Erik Karlson
Vlasic contract to
i was bummed when the sens lost in the ECF in '17.. that 3rd clip n #1 was so insane to watch
Getting that contract before mailing it in should be his best career play... can’t wait until he grows enough balls to fight Hoffman
Lol there’s no need for that...
Man i miss senators-era Karlsson. Just no the same in San Jose.
what a team we had
that pass is mind boggling
Hasn't been the same since going to San jose
Drysdale, the top D pick of the 2020 draft, looks a lot like Karlsson used to. He's very fast and a great puck mover.
As a Detroit fan, I hope we take him at 4, but we will probably go with Rossi. If Ottawa can get both Stutzle and Drysdale, they should be deadly. Drysdale has potential to be the next Karlsson, so it was would crazy if he ends up in Ottawa
If the Sens get both the German and Drysdale, they are gonna be a lightening fast team!
So hand passes are good now?
#6 was getting a contract for 11m for 8 years, far after his prime and after a slew of injuries. What a big D move and a poor decision to sign it by DW.
Now he plays for the Penguins.
my fav player Eric Karllson
Why have him in a Sharks uniform in the thumbnail if all the clips are of him playing on Ottawa?
2017 playoffs Karlsson was the best player in the world. Change my mind.
Cant. played through with broken foot. Carried his team to conference final game 7 double ot.
00:52 sometimes , I swear the only requirement to be a cameraman is to have zero common sense... 🤦♂️
the producer really dropped the ball on that one
This video should be longer
Note how none of these plays are from when he was playing for the Sharks
Karlsson reminds me of Daniel Alfredsson a bit when Karlsson plays
Lol not even a sharks fan but this is definitely Canada net at its best.
Thanks you for service for the Sens and the Trade Dorion got back for you hahaha
#3 is unreal
Erik Karlsson is big in Otawa senators I like his games type was best in otawa 😉❤
The greatest
Still can't believe we traded Milan and Chris Teiney
3:02 Guess what it is?
0:36 who’s eriksson??
Karlsson’s best days will always be in Ottawa. Trading him devastated me as a fan, but it seems to have been the right move. He’s been injury prone as of late.
Keep telling yourself that. Eventhough he had problems last year he put up respectable numbers in a team that wasn't doing great. He'll bounce back to his god lvl.
hjaldemort hes trash
Not one team in the league would take him right now. 11m a year for 8 more years of washed up Karlsson.
@@WoWPVPc0rner there's no way he bounces back to that level. Not with his ankle. He clearly has not been the same since the start of the 2018 season. He still has a lot of good years in him, imo. But that 11 million cap hit does sting.
@@WoWPVPc0rner no chance lol. and that contract is highway robbery
I knew #1 before I even clicked. He's such a terrible fit for San Jose, unless they could find a solid stay-at-home defenseman that will let Karlsson play like he's supposed to that fat contract will remain one of the worst in the league.
I never understood why they wanted him - they already had the 2nd best offensive defenceman in the league in Burns.
Coming from a Sharks fan I don't know what the hell we were doing resigning him instead of Pavelski.
@@DNP_10 absolutely insane lol. Don't resign your captain who would have been cheaper
@@usmanbarak2615 let's not forget that the Pavelski contract is awful as well
@@ThePoker04 He was gonna ask for money regardless, but I feel like he would have been a better fit with the Sharks rather than Dallas. His role in Dallas has always been up in the air.
doug wilsons eyes were bigger than the sharks cap after watching this top 5
I love Eric but the sharks f upped Royally with that contract. I would’ve payed 11 mill for his prime years but the last 2 he’s been injured and his play is barely worth half of that
I figured there wouldn’t be any Sharks highlights. Because there are none.
Damn crazy how none of these are when he was with the sharks 👁👄👁 I see a pattern here
I mean he hasn’t been healthy these two seasons with the sharks and if he hadn’t missed those games in the 2 seasons he would still put up 50-60 points
They missed an overtime goal with Hoffman which should be at number 2.
CBC with another pitiful call on a goal of the year
The worst thing he did was leave Ottawa: he was a huge star in Ottawa and around the league. Best thing that ever happened to Ottawa was him leaving. (Love the guy) but it’s the truth. We ended up with a 3rd overall for him.
I'd would have loved to see EK stay in Ottawa. Shame Melnyke didn't leave before they forced EK out
They offered Karlsson a 10x8 contract though.. Karlsson declined because he felt he could have gotten more and then come free agency he told the media he hopes Ottawa makes him an offer.
He scored 16 points in the playoffs last year on one groin but yet everyone still bashes the guy. Like he’s had some bad luck but I take an injured erik karlsson over 90% of the D men in the league
Because he’s paid 11.5M to play like vintage Karlsson just like how Price is paid to be an one man army. The fact that Sharks unexpectedly gave up a surprisingly good prospect in Norris and one of Stutzle or Byfield make the Sharks fans and other hockey fans have even higher expectation for Karlsson even though the deal at first was a fleecing
All of them with the Senators. It’s not done yet but looks like they traded him at the right time.
At #1 he did the Forsberg move. Well done for a defence player.
Not worth 11 mil a year anymore
WE WANT OTTAWA KARLSSON BACK
Karlsson played poorly, became injured, and he seems to be losing a step as he gets older. However, the man has pride and those highlights show off his high hockey IQ - which hasn't gone away just yet, so I'm expecting him to bounce back next season.
It all comes down to that ankle. He needs his skating at top notch. If so, San Jose will ultimately have a top tier defenseman.
Let’s be real here, if alfie didn’t pick out Erik, none of this would have happened. I’m glad alfie picked him, I’m a former sens fan
Shorks
Why can't he do those plays as a Shark?
Give him time and he will
“Give him time” its been two years
His foot bothers him. He doesnt skate nor plays like he used to. Plus the lost of his child was devastating.
He might not be given the green light for the free reign he used to have in Ottawa.. and the adjustment period might have been longer plus the injuries in San Jose hasn't helped him
Such a shame what happened to his leg.
When Matt Cooke purposely sliced it open? Yeah...sucked :(
His best career play was getting himself out of Ottawa
Best moment in his career was when Auston Matthew's scored 4 in his first game. I'm not a Leaf's fan.
This top 5 makes me think Karlsson isn’t as good as I’ve always thought
I haven’t even watched the video and I laugh that they put up this video with a sharks picture lol not one of his amazing plays were in or will be in San Jose
It`s ironic that number 1 was a goal scored by Hoffman.. what a vile human.
So overrated....he hasn’t done ANYTHING for the sharks....
109 games with the sharks and 85 points altogether....can’t say he hasn’t done anything.
Well, you got the obvious #1 correct, but I dunno bout the other picks.
I was a Sens fan for Karlsson's entire time there, and, except for the pass to Brossard, I don't think any of these other picks evn belong in a top 20 list of Karlsson plays - let alone top 5.
This dude playmaking ability is outrageous. In 2017 alone, he created a top ten list.
Top 5 plays who gives a shieeet!
Ridiculous stuff.
3:41 offside.. but nice forsbergs!
How was that offside
This is actually pretty unimpressive for a guy that was talked about as the best in the league.
highlights don't define a players talent lol..
That would be like saying Lidstrom wasn't a top Dman because his highlight reel is unimpressive
Wow IQ > 70
How he carried his team to game 7 of the semis name another player who did that
Over rated and over paid in today’s game. Next
Haha I forgot he used to be a decent hockey player
OVERRATED MONEY CHOMPER
