Greatest hockey player of the 2020s easily
Man that chip was crazy
Going coast to coast in only 6 seconds…
Right ~>》 Left at the last second/ fragment of the last while moving to the right, due to speed of skates & mental clarity & predetermined thinking?
…n!!ce pass from Evan Bouchard and the team's overall 'box' positioning, considering.
*Edit: correction – what a hard pass by Mattias Eckholm to Evan Bouchard (who was facing M. Eckholm) then deflecting a pass to his left to Connor McDavid whom was 'blur-ready' behind him and then (see intial comment above)…the 'awareness-ahead' play for #theblur C. McDavid!
…and at that speed for All, the quick awareness, kept the play onside.
WoW you guys!
👍👏🫡

Ive been watching hockey a long time. Im a Capitals fan but ive never seen a player faster than mcdavid
He skates at 2x speed.
Its crazy. At regular you never see what he does. Notice the replay from behind the net. He backhanded it in going rhe othet way. At that speed is insane!!
Too fast
hes so fast its crazy
What what what what!?!?!?!?!?! Only slow motion let's you understand what McDavid actually achieves. The goalkeeper had no idea what happened either.
We looking at the best player ever potentially ?
Best player ever… even better than Gretzky, Lemieu, Jagr, Selanne, Bure and Ovechkin
Damn, McDavid looked like damn freight train barreling in on that net.
Beauty chip pass, from Bouchard .
He would've had 300pts a season back in Gretzky era. Yep, with old skates and a wooden stick.
At first I was like like Captain Clutch? That makes it 3-0 at the end of the 2nd… then I saw the replay. Unbelievable, greatest to ever do it
When McDavid was playing for the Erie Otters my buddy kept telling me " ya gotta go see this kid play". Finally went to a game and he lit it up for 5 goals..Generational talent
Speed, but also great hands
McDavid makes it look so easy.
as usual 97 flying a million mph to score yet another jaw dropping goal and Michaels and Debrusk are babbling about a conversation with Stenlund instead. Usually their repartee involves 1980s WWF like Ultiate Warrior…80s video games….pop and rock tunes…louis' pugilistic conquests or Michaels' lack of success with the ladies in high schol. Is it too much to ask that they simply call the game and spare us the gratuitous cultural references ? so annoying.
The sound off bouchards stick is so satisfying.
#15 for Utah on the ESPN top 10 not highlights
"The Oilers" "it's not over yet" "so let's make the most of it"
