@@Wussel_Restbrook hah no, ovi crosby and malkin are not in their physical prime anymore. They have just gotten smarter and more skilled because they have played so long, thats why they stay on the same level/improve for so.long
I think because McDavid's game is so much about his speed, his prime ie earlier. I think players are at their fastest between ages 20 and 25. For most players, they hit their prime during the time when they have the most strength. The age range for that is more like 24 to 29, so I'd say McDavid is well into his prime because he isn't going to get any faster.
I was at that game and I didn’t even understand what happened when I saw it. Leafs had just scored to pull within 1 or 2 goals down and then he did that. Head fake, walks around Rielly, elevates upstairs and then the finger wag to his hometown crowd to say no comeback tonight. I’m a die hard Leafs fan but that was an epic moment for him.
Your joke makes no sense, since A) none of the goalies just gave up B) it lacks the "funny" element C) we can watch him every game. No problem, I'll help you. Example: A coach gets mad, starts throwing a ridiculous amount of stuff on the ice, sticks, helmets, pucks etc. It goes on for way too long and they just cut while he is still doing it. The cut makes the "legend has it," and the less we see that person after the incident, the funnier the whole image becomes, because we don't know what he actually is doing. You can't really use "legend has it" on people who we can watch live on TV, almost daily. The joke might be as simple as he is still just doing it, or something "clever," like he is the reason every kid can play hockey (because he just seemingly had an endless amount of hockey gear to throw on the ice). Good luck with your next attempt!
@@mr.devil9577 Tom Wilson will probably be in there, along with guys like Seguin, Benn, Konecny... Marchand and Wilson on the ice simultaneously would be worth paying for
Yet it still feels like dark years because the team has no depth that any level of skill from McDavid or plays from Draisaitl can make up for. They will never make it to the conference finals with the team they have right now.
I'd consider hockey a very team centered sport but he literally makes it look like a one man show on so many nights. I don't think anyone has ever made it look this easy.

What an amazing talent. His skating is unbelievable and the speed is ridiculous. There are a lot of fast players in the NHL, but he is the only one that can keep full speed and still be able to stick handle and move. Everybody else seems has to slow a gear when they have the biscuit. I’m a Flyers fan and it’s sucks Brendan Manning broke McDavid’s collarbone when he was rookie because he should have the Calder in his trophy case and that’s the only reason why because he missed almost half the season.
Well the foot speed obviously is a big part, but the reason he can use that speed so effectively is because a) he has the hands to handle the puck at such high speeds, b) the vision and the brain to see the plays and the ice, and think about what he's doing and going to do at such high speeds and c) the agility, balance and strength to drive around defense, rather than try to force his way through. The speed is the thing people see. But there are a lot of fast skaters in the league. What sets him above the rest is that he can actually play precise, smart, efficient hockey at that speed, not just skate at that speed. And even if you took the speed away from him, all parts of his game are so good that he'd still be a superstar. Having the speed just promotes him from a superstar to overpowered.
I remember a few years ago people would say that McDavid is great, but not better than Crosby. I think they're wrong. I think McDavid will surpass Crosby in every possible way.
@@mr.productions7084 Will see. But then again hockey is a team sport. Look at Gretzky for example. He never won the cup outside Oilers, even though he was an exceptional player.

And he’s not even in his prime yet
Imagine if he gets any more acceleration
@HOCKEY HELL YA yea but his physical prime. For hockey players it's usually 25-30. You could argue in this generation even 30+ (ovi, Sid, Malkin)

i love watching the leafs goal over and over again and looking at each fans reaction

@@scaryhours2823 Someone has to teach these kids.
@@Baychimo Really a paragraph
It’s a joke
Imagine a team Canada line of any of Crosby, McDavid, MacKinnon, Lafrenière, Marner or Marchand together at the Olympics. Can't wait!
@@Evanmeaw Nope. They’re all Canadian
Its sooooo hard to pick a bottom 6 for team Canada so many good players to choose from
Sry I thought marner played for USA last year
@@mr.devil9577 Tom Wilson will probably be in there, along with guys like Seguin, Benn, Konecny... Marchand and Wilson on the ice simultaneously would be worth paying for
Also Price He is a good goalie With the habs imagine with good defense like team canada lol
He utterly undressed Reilly. That was such a great game!
I can’t believe TH-cam didn’t censor that. I smell a lawsuit.
Number 1 will forever be my favorite one on one move I’ve ever seen by anyone , the look away then the quick cut back is soooooo smooth
So glad he plays for ma Oilers. Been through so many dark years
Yet it still feels like dark years because the team has no depth that any level of skill from McDavid or plays from Draisaitl can make up for. They will never make it to the conference finals with the team they have right now.
Fr :(
I’m a huge Pens fan but he is unbelievable. The speed, hands, and awareness is out of this world. Always fun to watch McDavid.
Every time McDavid scores: "What a goal! Wow!"
Because most of his goals are really amazing .
I can't believe these are all from one season only.
These are better than most players career highlights
i love the little thing he does after he scores where he gets on one knee and pumps his fist like that. it's like a trademark for him :)
I don’t think I’ve seen a goalie actually save a shot from mcdavid
Vasilevskiy had a great save on him last year
Nothing short of phenomenal.
This guy is THE reason I got interested in hockey again
Not a bad reason, honestly.
His leg speed is awesome, but his hand speed is mind boggling.
I'd consider hockey a very team centered sport but he literally makes it look like a one man show on so many nights. I don't think anyone has ever made it look this easy.
I'd have to say Lemieux in his prime made it look just a bit easier.
I could watch mcdavid highlights all day
These are also the top 10 Oilers plays of the 2019-2020.
Go McDavid!
I don't even watch hockey, but this guy has some really nice plays.
Sometimes I still cant believe he's real.. he's just that amazing
Defenders and goalie know exactly what’s gonna happen and they can’t do anything about it.
It doesn't get any better than this
Absolutely incredible player.
Да, гений хоккея и похоже лучший нападающий современности!
The NEW Great One. All bow down to the greatness of McDavid.
That last one.. what beast
the way he splits the defense is so satisfying
Saw two of these in person. This guy is nuts
Its even more scary, that he is just going to get BETTER. He could crack 170 points sometime probably at least 150

I the watched the #4 goal live. It hits different watching him play live.
This guy really loves dancing around Doughty😂😂
Doughty is a scrub
Por siempre y para siempre lo mejor la NHL es lo mejor
That last goal is absolutely filthy
Incredible player
Best player in the NHL!!
Most probably will be rated the best of all time (GOAT) if he wins a few Stanley Cups.
Love him and he’s play ❤️ and the nhl ❤️❤️💯
This guy is from another world ...
Buddy's playing on rookie mode
McDavid - Ronaldo "Phenomeno" in Hockey. Natural talent
He has so much determination
I love watching him play just not when he plays the flyers
Why not flyers?
Are you a flyers fan?
He has speed/accelaration like young Selanne hands like Kane and the ability to utilize those hands while going mach 3

Hes is a man beyond all of our powers...

Dude's got some serious skills.
Bold prediction: When McDavid finishes his career he we be in solo second place for most points!!
that aint bold thats just facts
@Chris Margadonna that seems a bit far
Love watchin the toronto fans give it up to him. U can hear the collective 'oooo'
Jeeze this kid is an absolute beast.
10,9 and 8 are number one plays for most players hes that good 😬😬😬
simply unreal.
I do hope he is gonna get the Stanley Cup!
I was at the game where McDavid undressed Rielly. Lower bowl, that same side too. One of the craziest things I've ever seen in my life
His stats might not show it as well but he’s the goat
My favorite player
This guy is unreal
this should be the quickest top ten to date
Nice
if he stays healthy he could score well over 120 multiple times in his career, unreal
#1 doesn’t even do it justice, in person is the only way to comprehend what he did
This mans skill is honestly scary
Улучшенная версия Павла Буре!
He is just going to get better.
Poor McDavid. It's gotta be boring for him to play when nobody can beat you. I mean the guy looks so effortless when doing amazing things on the ice.
Makes it look so easy
The best
Лучший игрок в мире во все времена
He will get 100+ points many times in his career
Мастерюга высшего уровня👽
first place goal really McDavinho
Life is an EA simulation, and McDavid is God’s OP created player.
Mcdavid is in his own league stop comparing players to him lol
Yeah, I’ve seen a bunch of people saying Mackinnon is better.
hes fast
Can someone breakdown why he's so good other then his skating.
Well the foot speed obviously is a big part, but the reason he can use that speed so effectively is because a) he has the hands to handle the puck at such high speeds, b) the vision and the brain to see the plays and the ice, and think about what he's doing and going to do at such high speeds and c) the agility, balance and strength to drive around defense, rather than try to force his way through.

He's my favorite player. I wonder if you guy will be able to figure out why.
He's not the best because he's the fastest. He's the best, and it just so happens that he's also the fastest on top of that. From another planet.
He loves the top shelf and those goalies just aren’t fast enough to stop it
That last goal is outright gross, I will never get sick of watching it. No player in the world can replicate that.
McDavid is the best
Mc David destroying o' Reilly. Never gets old :)
Waiting for top Roman Josi plays
Cool
This video should be titled:why Connor mcdavid is the best player in the nhl.
No he's not..Mackinnon is the best in the nhl
@@mike8066 no he’s not he’s probably 2nd

We were a lotto pick away from building around him, instead eichel is the foundation of the crumbling house of hockey in Buffalo
Dang he lookin good
LETS GOOO OILERS
Its men vs boys when Mcjesus is on the ice, makes defenders and goalies look silly its so sick
I think that Sydney Crosby, Alexander Ovechkin and Connor Mcdavid are the greatest ever
I still can’t believe he’s only 24
Talk about making it look easy
Amazing how he uses his off hand or stick to fend off defenders and shoot within milliseconds.
If you're even with McDavid, you're two steps behind!
