This is probably generational talent right here. This kid will be the best player in the world some day.

@@TheWillStrikeOfficial anyone could have called it. People have been following him since he was 13 years old.

[@Testomake_]

Well you was right

[@cartermurph9896]

u called it

[@mfoxjunker]

Seriously, McDavid is the real deal. A player like him literally comes along once every 10-15 years.

[@jackaustin5943]

this aged well

[@Canuck717]

The most mind boggling thing to me is that he ended up with 14 points in 7 games. If some of his teammates could a have buried the gifts he gave him he could have easily had 22-28 points.

[@lAmCanad1an]

Canuck717 ya like Klimchuk...

[@northernenergy3325]

or if he shot the damn puck instead of dropping it off

[@nextgennat4126]

Canuck717, imagine three Mcdavids on a line together...

[@luttrell1748]

its a highlight reel for the Czech goalie too. he was insane

Connor McDavid will be the best player in the NHL one day... Mark my words.

[@New-qy5mi]

So will Rasmus Dahlin

[@JoEEll2233]

Saw McDavid play livestream today as Erie beat Windsor 5-2. Like a man playing against boys. Reminds me of Gretzky in terms of vision, creativity, moves, skating, dominance and skill. Not saying he's better than Eichel because I haven't seen him play that much, but if Eichel's name is being whispered in the same breath he must be pretty phenomenal as well. We should just sit back and admire their talent instead of caring about which country they were born in. They are magnificent hockey players and we are hockey fans, so let's be hockey fans and not project our own hopes and sense of self worth onto their successes and failures. Just let them play and enjoy what they do.

[@anyone5278]

David McCaig well now we know whos better

[@SuperZbros]

Buddy I know this is late but you are dumb as fuck, Mcdavid was on another planet since he was on skates, was internationally recognized as the next Crosby and by far the best hockey prospect since Crosby by the time he was 14, eichel and mcdavjd were never in the same breath at any point, mcdavjd has always been head and shoulders above him and it was never even close, to say mcdavjd is being mentioned in the same breath as eichel is dumb and insulting, not just now has been that way since before you posted your comment, the conversation before the draft was not eichel vs mcdavid, it was how eichel would be a clear cut #1 overall pick in the last 10 drafts, but bc of mcdavjd it wasn’t even a thought in anyones head everyone knew he was going 1st since 2012.

[@DethOfDrgnz]

This kid is so awesome I think he will be our secret weapon at the u20 WJC this year hopefully he gets lots of ice time and hopefully this will be the year Canada wins gold.

[@DanKPhotography]

I get chills watching this kid, going to be so exciting to see him play in the NHL. I hope this rough year for my Hurricanes pays off with some Connor McDavid :)

[@DeathWish1974]

He has great reaction with everything which is everything in hockey for the superstars-speed is his other virtue!

[@LazyFoxLore]

His Hands are so soft, jesus. He's crazy for only being 16.

[@folkelk]

I'm so nervous to see who wins the lottery with him...

[@LazyFoxLore]

I've seen him play and seen his stats and wouldn't be surprised if he slips out of number 1 in the draft next year. It was depends on how well he does next year.

[@folkelk]

***** That'd be big news... I've only seen highlights, and then his performance at the World Juniors. I didn't find he played as well as people hoped in the Juniors, so you definitely have a point.

[@tmlms1313]

folkelk he was playing against people up to 4 years older than him. And was only the 4th 16 year old ever to make Team Canada. I'm hoping his hand is ok for these WJs. It will be the known as the 2015 McDavid Tournament by future historians.

[@sandroaudige3349]

+folkelk Oilers won. How do you feel about that??

[@jordangebhard5984]

This kid looks like he's going to be really special. I've heard all the hype, and as a hockey fan I hope he's a generation-type player. Still al long way to go, NHL's a tough league.

[@Veczey]

Little did they know he'd pan out even better then they expected, highest paid player in the nhl, fastest player in the nhl, one of the youngest captains in the history of the nhl, at least 100 points in all seasons where he played more than 70 games

[@acgmedical9129]

What’s crazy is any one of these guys on the ice could murder in pick up hockey even against guys that played junior B and A and that just shows you how great and fast mcdavid really was before he even reached 18 years old.

[@einzigkeit7216]

Analysing the game you can see that McDavid is going to be Right off the bat twice as better as he is right now when he will jump into the NHL and playing with professional payers. Others will make him better and vice versa. He's really fast and so great to watch.

[@ezwelchman]

agreed....I saw atleast 4-5 EASY assists he should've had, but the other players just can't keep up...

[@Cohen-si7ke]

Was this actually 2013 holy time flew

[@Broxty]

Man… this U18 was KILLER!

[@alexthebassist23]

that czech goalie is going to be incredible to watch in a few years, such an unrefined, raw style, bringing back the finesse of the old school goalies :), reminds me of hasek

[@AudioImpressionist]

I was watching the replay of the Canada-Finland game to get of better view of Morin and Kasperi Kapanen (who I hope the Flyers can draft). While I was looking for them, I never had to look for Connor McDavid because he jumped out on every shift. This guy is going to be incredible considering he is already outplaying draft eligibles as a 16 year old.

[@PabloFernandez-bj2dx]

I was watching Mitchkov and Bedard's performances at the u18 as sixteens years old so i decided to compare their performances with the Mcdavid one and man, Mcdavid was on another level. Mitchkov has a knack for scoring goals and Bedard has an impressive wrist shot but they cant compare with Mcdavid, the way he skates and dominates with the puck in his stick is unmatched.

[@thomasgiffin175]

Haha same here man, mcdavid just always had the puck and could control the game which I haven’t seen bedard or michkov do yet. Surprisingly michkov surpassed mcdavid in points in this tournament and bedard tied him but still mcdavid was just on another level.

[@ShietEverywhere]

hes gonna be something special

[@HandsOfCinderblock]

He certainly held his own. Doing what he can to keep his team in it.

[@Oo2k10]

This kid is fun to watch he gonna be a star.

[@TROCK087]

This guy is UNREAL!! I think Crosby is an amazing player, but i think this guy could be even better when he matures. Just unreal in all zones, no weakness to his game.

[@alexlord4599]

Yeah...maybe

[@notredamerox009]

for the first time since i was about 10 years old I am proud to be an Otters fan

[@Nick-ky5yn]

He's so smooth, kinda reminds me of Datsyuk

[@dharmaboy75]

It's all good, wait till my Oilers draft this kid and ruin him as well. LOL

Hello! I was wondering if it would be OK if I used a few clips from your Connor McDavid video for a highlight video I'm putting together. I will give you credit in the description and would really appreciate it! Thank you for your time, love the vids by the way!

[@zackdalton7901]

i played against mcdavid, he used to play on the lake simco express a while back, vs don mills flyers AAA, lets just say they won 14-0

[@Gabranthh]

Can't wait to see him in the NHL.

[@Mike-ls8et]

Wow, and it's not liike the other players are bad. I'd like to see a new era of players start wiping out these old guys. This hockey is very entertaining.

[@AyeItsShalbyZysk]

Lots of talent. It will be interesting to see who picks him up.

[@tylerdowd]

I think this kid will be pretty good in the NHL someday!

[@adamlarsson8950]

[@joemenza7200]

This kid's a mix of Crosby/RNH/Mackinnon, which is crazy!!!

I'm speechless.

[@writtendynasty7]

Wow, what a game changer

[@XMattB7X]

Oh God, I hope so!

[@HappyGuy343]

This kid is going to be some kinda good.

[@jordanf8326]

Best hockey player since Gretzky. It is embarrassing how much better he is than everyone else

[@Larquist]

Hes going far...

[@Mrdogmaniscool]

#1 overall pick in 2014 for sure next year! Hands down;)

[@jakelescroart9193]

He has the skating and shooting speed of Crosby but has even better puck protection and defensive play and he has the hockey sense and vision that Gretzky had

[@hankfairchild]

he doesn't even look like he has to try

[@darksaga80]

He's not a completely unreal player. What he does have going for him is his speed and quickness. Combines with his hockey sense and he's a level above most guys he's playing with right now. You can also tell the level he's playing on, the game has already slowed down for him - which is a huge advantage.

[@PartyRockCanada]

I agree, the way its looking for my flames isnt too good, we dont even have a legitimate first liner other than cammalleri this season lol

[@antoniosong96]

what tournament is this?

[@Canuck717]

You really have no idea what you're talking about. Mcdavid is a 16 years dominating an 18 year olds tournament. Kid is going to be something special, and thats nothing against drouin who is also a great prospect.

[@lorndarken]

imagine your nhl team drafting connor mcdavid and he wants to play for your team forever and is not a bust . and also not injury prone . it be like having a stanley cup looking at your team for the next 15 to 18 years

[@Jag2929]

He is insane

[@phillytheflyerable]

his hands, balance and vision reminds me of forsberg

[@nashrox61]

He sees the field so well

[@michaelmcintyree890]

nashrox61 u mean the ice

[@SickDangles13]

He's a great playmaker and player overall but I'd love to see him shoot more in situations where he's wide open in the slot instead of passing... Gotta know when to shoot

[@fish8196]

crazy hows he has gotten even faster now!

[@johnkelly8884]

Fish819 *whos Connor McDavid?*

[@colew001]

I like how he actually throws the body too, unlike some other stars

[@Metallicadude3187]

Another star that scores, passes, and check is Jake Virtanen

[@gurteggill588]

Don't get used to that. They don't let future league MVPs go crashing in to everybody. If you notice, even Ovechkin has slowed down on the checking... its too hard on their body, and given how much they need to score and skate, and back check, all while going up against top D pairings every night, something has to give -- and its usually the banging.

[@gurteggill588]

Sorry, I meant Ovie has slowed the banging on bodies -- he's gotten better (more responsible) at checking.

[@kormos94]

cant wait to see this guy play in the nhl he is going to stomp face

[@n0ts0smarty]

Definitely

[@thezill69]

This is gonna be fun!! McDavid on the Oilers means good times are ahead.

[@Cope59]

you were so right, him and draisaitl are amazing.

[@lookinforthe70s]

Who's going to get him? That's going to be the most watched among hockey fans, and anticipated draft lottery drawing of all time, some time in April/May/June of next year.

[@WolfteamTrickshotsss]

So glad I picked him up on my NHL 14 team. More trade value than Malkin...

[@nsborland]

Who is this czech goalie ?!? He came up with some stellar saves ! A little unorthodox playing style but he plays it superb I can't make out his name it sounds like "Potsill" but I can't find him anywhere

[@AftComet]

In the NHL he'll be a perennial 100 point set-up man. His hockey sense is off the charts. If only he had teammates who could finish.

[@joshnelson3652]

AftComet bingo

[@blockland30]

Good prediction

[@liveslowlivesimple]

best hockey player ive ever seen i think

[@gurteggill588]

Lets not get ahead of ourselves yet. Sidney Crosby was doing this 10-12 years ago in WHC and juniors. I'm an Oiler fan, and would love nothing more than for your comment to eventually be proven correct..... but its only been 60 games, so lets see where this goes.

[@lAmCanad1an]

Gurteg Gill clearly not cause it says he had more goals and points in the tournament then everyone.

[@jordanf8326]

McDavid is better than Crosby, no comparison

[@80teg]

When I said Crosby was doing this before, I meant World Jrs, QMJHL, and early NHL career. Crosby is his comparison -- that in itself is a compliment. Maybe you mean McDavid is the best 18 yr old you've ever seen, but to say that the 18 yr old McDavid is the best player youve seen period? Im sure the 24 yr old Gretzky, or 25 yr old Mario, or 22 yr old Crosby would have something to say about that.

[@jordanf8326]

McDavid makes Crosby look like an orphan begging for an additional piece of burnt toast.

[@spacejam327]

I hope Florida gets him next next draft we need him

[@thomsonhuot1739]

How are the seats not sold out, any chance to see mcdavid is amazing

[@tmlms1313]

[@deniseschultz7353]

I'm lucky enough to see him play every home game for the Erie Otters!

[@JoEEll2233]

Denise Schultz Lucky you. Is he that good in person? Is Sherry Basin right when he says he's the best prospect since Orr? What is the buzz about him on the street? What are the fans saying? How special is he? Thx.

[@80teg]

David McCaig the best propect ever is still mario lemiuex.... if you're lucky enough to find some clips of him in junior, watch them. he had like 4pts/gm his last yr in the Q

[@deniseschultz7353]

He really knows how to handle the puck, but you can tell he still needs to work on some things. He ended the year with 99 points. I believe once he really comes into his own, he will be unstoppable!

[@d4v1dfor3v3r]

You still get to see your Fantastic Fins become great players.

[@evanwolf6677]

Think these guys feel less bad now considering he does this to the entire NHL every shift?

[@notredamerox009]

have you seen him play? its really too early for anyone to judge him one way or another.

[@TheEmergencyJamUnit]

Mcdavid to the flames next year!

[@BadassDwarff]

Could it be 'cause he is two years younger than the rest?
