"4/10, some people say I don't know much about hockey" 😂 you know he's been told that exact line by someone in his org before
Inspiring all sorts of confidence here
It's likely every other comment he reads on Twitter.
People who are usually true experts on stuff, are aware they no nothing 😂😂. Or there’s so much more they can learn. Ask a real tech expert how much they know about computers, or a literal physicist how much they know about physics. They’ll usually say 4…5…7 at most? Because they’ve been humbled so many times in life.
I disagree - that was a line.
@@deadprecidents True! Dunning Kruger effect.
Reminds me of the British inteview when they stopped an old man to ask him if he remembers a super old town derby match, and he said "Yes, I was the goalie" xD
Yup - Tommy Lawrence who played in goal for Liverpool.
More than just a derby match in this case - the F.A. cup final was (and still is) pretty much the single biggest domestic match in English football, and that year it happened to be between two of the biggest local rivals in the country. It was the (very rough) equivalent of an interviewer 50 years from now bumping into Travis Kelce and asking if he remembered where he was for Superbowl LIV!
Also this happened to Adrian Peterson who will be a HOF RB.
Yeah RIP to that guy
That's one of my favorite TH-cam videos
The poker face you need from your GM.
Until the end haha. Little tip to the camera
As someone who interviews people fairly regularly, never trust anyone that comfortable on camera haha
Hahaha, very well said
very good point
That's a good point, very few people can speak like that in front of a camera/
Why?
@@spf556fr, people underestimate the need for media training
To be fair, who expects an NHL GM to be walking around like any downtown sports bro? Guy looks like he’s on his way to catch the Cubs at Wrigley. 😂
Your point stands, but this is Nashville for the draft. The interviewer asked slightly off-mic "have you ever been to Nashville before" and you can clearly see a Honky Tonk sign behind them. This looks like Broadway.
Crazy people stalk and wait for people’s daily routines. He knew what he was doing
@@sixsix8six I realize that. But he looks specifically like he's heading to a baseball game to me. Probably because it's daytime in the summer.
He's clearly on Broadway in Nashville
I would’ve loved it if he name dropped Connor Bedard before the draft. Good coy answers to the last two questions. Didn’t want to get fined by the NHL.
“One change you could make to the NHL”
“Fire the Blackhawks GM”
More like "Give the Blackhawks GM a raise."
Was thinking both of these the entire time 😂
"some people say i dont know that much." lmfaooo what a legend.
That part killed me. 😂
Love that Davidson just deadpaned it and played along😂
Until the little nod at the end with “very confident”.
Apparently he originally declined to be interviewed but came back after a while cause he though it would be funny and he was right.
The point where he starts slowly naming the most famous hockey players and then just starts rapid firing his players 🤣
Lol
Your gullible to think this is real.
The look Davidson gives at the end... priceless...
He clearly knew somebody online could eventually figure out who he is
If it was rigged, I’d be one of the guys to know about it
He jimmied the camera
That look after he said “I’m very confident” 🤣🤣
At that point, he should have said that he was in the room when they drew the balls and it’s definitely not rigged… wonder if buddy would have clued in at that time
Young dude for a GM, hilarious how he rolled with it
It was set up....
@@fleckinz5789 Yeah probably. But I'll let you in on a secret.
I don't give a shit. Most people don't give a shit. It's silly and fun and sometimes people just enjoy things.
@@Adamdidit great mentality you have there, bud. Most likely one of the reasons the IQ45 president as well. "Yeah, they rigged it, who cares, it's silly fun" right?!
@@Adamdiditso condescending. You arent far in life are yoy
@@roberts.wilson1848 If this silly video was staged, what changes? Nothing, real or fake it doesnt have an effect on your life. Can't say the same about the latter. You're comparing apples to oranges and that's never a strong argument.
It's hilarious because he doesn't even walk away, the interviewer is like nah I can't top that
I like how he starts with Gretsky because he is just a sports bro on the street.
Definitely the best one to start with if that was a "tactic". I know damn near nothing about hockey -- but I know Gretsky.
I knew the first 2 names and none of the others.
@@mantisfootball918they’re all from the late 2000s/early 2010s Chicago blackhawks, it was a very good team
Gretzky*
He doesn’t think they rigged it for the hawks. He knows they did 😂
Nice
he can't say it out loud like that
this is from 2013, who did the rig the draft for? You dummies think this is about Connor don't you lol
@@jasonbobko9133tf you mean from 2013? this was in june this year😂
@@jasonbobko9133
Tf you talking about 😂 calling people “dummies” while being the only dumb one lmao
The direct to camera "I'm very confident". 💀
Taylor Hall & Nick Foligno 😂 the guys I just acquired
And as a Bruins fan, it breaks my heart. Freaking salary cap. But I want Hall and Foligno to have every opportunity. They are great players and Chicago is paying them more than the Bruins could. So good for them.
Amazing how he kept his cool, played it down very well. Amazing that this happened!
Yeah, especially the part where he lied about the draft being rigged.
@moappleseider1699 Yeah. Reporter should be fired for alluding that draft was rigged. What your dumba.s ment to say the part where he lied about draft not being rigged. Trying to be smart and make a complete f..ng moron out of yourself.
@moappleseider1669 💀
LOL this is great... When asking about one change he would make, I was waiting for him to say "I think the Blackhawks should get a new GM, the current one is bad"
I was waiting for him to say that GMs needed to get paid more.
He did the classic Jim stare to the camera from the office at 1:38
Bro... thats freaking hilarious. You can tell hes a chill dude
I want to see where the interviewer realizes what just happened
Probably when people started reposting the interview lol
lmao ! how does he keep a straight face ?!
Part of the cover up. :)
All kidding aside, love that he did this interview so flawlessly. Respect.
Can you explain the rigged-ness accusation / conspiracy? I'm from Europe and hadn't heard.
@@YesOkayButWhy Chicago is a big market big city in the USA and they conveniently win the draft lottery for a generational talent over the worst teams in hockey in small markets
NHL clearly wants this talent in a big market with a historical hockey organization not a small market with no history even if they're the worst team so should have the top pick
@@yellowsnowman9157
Ahhh. I get you. One more question. How long has this (seemed to have) been the case? 20 years? Since early 20th century?
Thanks so much.
@@yellowsnowman9157 Not discrediting you here, but do you think the NBA wishes they rigged the draft for Lebron James or some of these other superstars? I know he was from cleveland but do you think the suits that run the NBA wish he had gone to a bigger city at the start of his career?
@@robert-zr1kxpeople still try to drum up the conspiracy that the NBA rigged the 1985 lottery to ensure Ewing would go to the NY Knicks. 😅
He's the GM the Blackhawks need today and for the future. I was just looking at a pic of my family in the 1970s gathered behind an autograph signing table at a northern Illinois appliance store flanked by Bobby Hull and (my favorite while growing up) Stan Makita. Still a fan after fifty years!
That's pretty awesome. I'm glad you still have the pic, what a great memory.
I use makita tools. Very reliable.
He looked right before he answered 😂😂😂
Genius if it's on purpose
It was not. He had no clue he was interviewing the Hawks GM
It’s obviously fake by the tone of the voice I don’t get how people can’t tell
th-cam.com/video/BibIGGUn80Y/w-d-xo.html
@@OVERTRONit was genuine, you played yourself
Nah explain how
The best video I've seen all day! This is great!
My right ear didn't feel like listening to this
Bro is hilarious I love Kyle Davidson
Awesome. "I'm very confident." As he gives a wry smile to the camera.
his little smirk to the camera at the end is so good
That knowing look/grin at the end - awesome
This feels like it would be epic double troll where the interviewer knew, but playing dumb to get him to be more comfortable asking a hard hitting question.
It was
Hilarious-“some people would say I don’t know hockey at all”.That’s a great example self deprecating humour right there.Good for him not letting the job go to his head.You are up the mountain one day,and down in the hole the next.
imagine his team being criticized in the press. he's probably got people telling him he's a hockey idiot all the time.
That was my favorite line as well.
I like how then GM never gives away his job. As a casual, every once in a while, hockey fan I would have never known he was the Chicago GM.
This man is a Legend
I went to high school with him (the GM not the clueless interviewer). I believe him if he says it wasn't rigged for them to win. I'm also glad they did cuz the Ducks didn't get Bedard LOL
Who the heck would recognize the GM of the Blackhawks on the street in Nashville?
@@ryanprosper88 I'd like to think I would considering I'm a fan and I've seen a LOT of pictures, videos etc. Then again, it's easy to see a person that looks "a lot like" someone famous and you think "nah, just a doppelganger. Not really them."
It’s prob written in his contract somewhere that he has to reply no, every sport has rigged events for entertainment and profiting purposes
@gund2281 unless you're a fan of the Blackhawks, of course. As a Leafs fan, I wouldn't recognize the Habs GM or the Sabres Gm in any crowd.
@@ryanprosper88I would of recognized Bergen in when he was with the habs as a hawks fan because there are not many people who look like him but I wouldn’t notice many others
Would’ve been great if he said: “Yes, it was definitely rigged!”
he would have been fired on the spot
Don’t have any interest or knowledge in hockey, but may have to start watching the Blackhawks. GM seems like a great guy 😂
My right ear feels left out
Not just me. (Now I have to apologize to the wife. I assumed…)
“I’m very confident” *wink of a nod to the camera* was 👩🍳 😘
absolute legend
the fact he said dave (David) Bolland makes me so happy, i went to school with that guy. its likely cause David was on the hawks when they won the cup. Reilly Smith, Brendan Smith, Brendan Shanahan, we all went to the same school as kids (just different ages).
I love how he looked at the camera at the end like Jim from the Office 😭
The weird thing is: the more that you actually know about something, is also the more that you realize how little that you know. Meanwhile, some other guy might say that he knows 9 out of 10 about hockey when in reality, he really knows 0.5 out of 10
i thought the same thing!! they call it the dunning-kruger effect
The dunning kruger effect! I have a 16 year old brother who knows a little about a load of subjects (Internet kids eh?) But thinks he knows everything about them, because he doesn't know how little he knows
The irony being most people only have a surface-level understanding of Dunning-Kruger.😉
@@FentonWenge you only know a little about people's understanding of the dunning-kruger effect ;)
that's why you never trust anyone that calls themselves a chef. other people can bestow that title on someone, but you can't give it to yourself. It's a dead giveaway to a shitte cook. ive worked with too many "chefs" to know not to trust someone that calls themselves that title.
I love that he knows that when this gets online, he will be recognized. And totally plays the part for it..
Loved hearing this in only one ear
This type of humor is very keen midwestern. Timing delivery etc, priceless
He’s Canadian
@@roncrabbe9587All The Best Comedians are from Canada 🇨🇦
to be fair neither his look or demeanor gives off GM vibes
“I’m very confident” *stares into our souls*
This was the best ever. OMG
Casual 😂
I heard an interview with the GM and when first asked to be interviewed he declined. But then decided to have some fun. 😂
Probably because he realized they weren't asking to interview him specifically lol
@@johnr797 yep, he walked away and said to his guy “ he doesn’t know who I am, let’s have some fun “. So they went back.
Reminds me of when AP was interviewed in Houston about road rage.
That was amazing
“ some people say I don’t know that much “ haha
Yeah we watched the video too.
I want the video when the interviewer finds out who he is.
He seems like such a cool guy
wow very believable event thanks for sharing.
Well, he did say he was 4/10 on hockey knowledge, so maybe the rest of his answers were honest too.
🧂🧂🧂🧂🧂🧂🧂🧂
Really? He took the team from having the worst prospect pool in the league to top 5 in a year.
And that's without Bedard.
They have 5 first round picks the next two years or so and something like 8 seconds in the next couple of years.
They had ZERO first rounders last year and ended up with THREE.
I suppose you could have done better though.
he’s constantly around nhl players and coaches so his idea of a 4/10 hockey knowledge would be a 10/10 for any normal person
@@Chisschalk ""The more you know, the more you realize you don't know." - Aristotle
If the draft wasn’t rigged, this interview definitely was
Yeah, you can tell it was setup.
The interviewer just missed the CBJ GM.
do you have proof the interview was rigged?
@@brandocalrissian3294 literally how lmao u children are such whiners
Nope. The interviewer is a local reporter who had no idea he was inerviewing a gm. He went to a bar to interview some people and a bunch of the gms were eating and having a few wobble pops there.
My left ear really enjoyed this
This is awesome
My left ear loved this video smh
He just looks like some dude who’s gunna watch the draft from a bar
lmao that look at the end. 😂
I love how he avoided the question about the NHL to avoid his fine
Hahahaha He saw an opportunity and took it
Lol he shoulda known when he said the whole roster
My left ear loved this
After watching this I may have to become a Blackhawks fan.
that "im pretty confident" smile, fucking said it all man.
is ESPN incapable of stereo audio??
Reminds me of the Jordan Clarkson interview in Salt Lake, when asked about if he's been to any Utah Jazz games.
Kyle is the shit 😂😂
This. Was. Awesome. That almost wink to the camera at the end.
Honey, nobody does the each word as its own sentence thing anymore. And it's been just one space after punctuation since we left manual typewriters behind. Is there maybe a class you can take to get caught up to the 21st century?
@juliebraden6911 calm down julie
You know he sent that around to the team and crew being like “WHAT ARE THE ODDS”
LOL good knowledge!!!
To be fair, I have no idea what the Blackhawks GM looks like when he's bro'd out either.
Nobody would. Oh, except the geniuses in this thread of course.
Hilarious
“I’m very confident” as he looks into the camera for the first time in the entire “interview”. Suuuuuuure
His look to the camera ayt the end 😂
honestly, if i was some goober who knows nothing about sports, and i just got sent here because my boss told me to. i wouldnt know him either.
Show me an example where the interviewer knows less than the interviewed.
Christian apologists interviewing and trying to convince athiests that a god exists. They fail a lot.
Show me a post by somebody who thinks he's cute and clever but he's not.
my left ear loving this
i love that he stayed lowkey about it🤣
Haha, gotta love it.
Go Hawks!!!
Go abuse enablers!
Funny way of saying "i support sexual abuse"😂🤷♂️
Imagine how the interviewer felt once he realized 😂
This reminds me of when a Salt Lake City reporter asked Jordan Clarkson of the Utah Jazz if he was a basketball fan and if he’d been to a Jazz Game.
Sigh so many people still salty Chicago got the first pick.
What would have been an actual tragedy was if he'd have gone to the toxic landfill that is Arizona to waste away as they continue trading everyone away to "rebuild" every season. That decades long rebuild will surely be done any day now.
Yep, better that he goes to Chicago and has a legit chance of getting S#xually Assulted by the staff.
But he might have a chance to win a cup, so nobody will say anything. Don't want to mess that up, right?
When that rebuild is done they better win the next 50 Stanley Cups is all I'm saying
I would not have recognized him either, but I would have had a few choice of words if I did about the Black Hock Beech situation
This guy went on to play soccer for liverpool in derby as goalie.
And gave another legendary interview😅
Wait really?!
I’d love to see the post-interview piece where the interviewer finds out who he is.
Love the dichotomy of GMs in professional sports. Especially in the NHL, a lot of them are former pros but in other sports, that's more rare.
Some teams, you get the full on stats guys like Theo Epsteins, Kyle Davidsons and so on. Worked in the sport for years, sure... but never played at a high level. Then you have guys like Sakic, who won everything. Good stuff.
lol it is insane that hthis man is a GM and our interviewer did not know that he was a Gm in it this nhl. We like and subscribe to the channel
It's insane that you believe that's true.
@@fleckinz5789 yes
Because I'm positive your genius ass would recognize any gm in any city in any kind of casual clothes. Uh huh sure thing, kid.
I dont know why I got recommended this video but I watched it anyway and this is hilarious. I dont watch hockey but I'm assuming GM means general manager?
Love audio mixed in mono, great job ESPN
He starts with Gretzky, Lemieux, and then begins naming off all regular blackhawks players
I have no trust in anything anymore
Same. Everything feels fake. I hope this is real. It’s pretty funny. Guy has great facial expressions.
He should have said it was totally rigged! That would have been hilarious!
Mmmmmno
@@notorioustbg mmmmmmyou must thing you're a cutie but no.
@@juliebraden6911 I know I’m a cutie ☺️
