Connor McDavid #97 - Puck Handling

Basically 5 minutes of Connor McDavid showing off his puck handling skills.

[@fooglez]

The thing is. He's good at stick handling, but then he starts skating 100mph in a blink of an eye and he gets even better. It's fucking bullshit man, he's so filthy. Love watching this kid and I can't wait to see more in years to come.

[@lukechung1150]

his hands match his feet and that is dangerous since both of them is wicked fast

[@paulssportscards2078]

Deadliest release in the game and hands are top level of greatness

[@darksaga80]

When this guy came into the league, I thought he was a lot of hype. After seeing just two years of his work, the guy IS a generational player. A five tool player like him is so rare these days. I really hope Edmonton can build a strong team around him - they deserve him and another cup within the next few years.

[@dunkydog1676]

wow i missed a few those hilights he blows my mind even farther now . could be most talented player ever seen. he has another gear and best is yet to come.

[@TeddyPicker191]

unbelievable talent

[@nextgennat4126]

TeddyPicker191, ehhh. Who is this Macduvud kid? I've seen better scrubs at the odr. I can play the ol' pan flute better than this biscuit waster.

[@zuzu324]

NextGen Nat are you drunk?

[@trvman1]

and as long as he is in Edmonton, he has little chance to win a Cup. Just like the "King" and the Rangers.

[@gabrielsulaj6296]

I wish I saw Connor vs Pavel. That would have been frickin great.

Natural talent that he enhances with allot of hard work. Edmonton is very fortunate to have him. I wish Columbus would catch a break and get a kid like that.

I never thought id see the likes of a Bobby Orr again this just might be it.This kid has it all effortless skater break your ankle moves quick hands and the desire to be the best.i hope he has a long career, he is special and a joy to watch.

[@Justin-is2ft]

MC DAVIDDDDD

[@BaneOfV]

Speed, sense, handling, shot, and size. He is the best player to ever touch the ice, don't care what you say about gretzky

[@chizorama]

Gretzky couldn't pass over two lines, this kid has the skill, but he, nor does anybody else who's ever played, has Gretzky's hockey IQ. He doesn't have McDavid like highlights, he didn't need them, he made it look easy & effortless. McDavid's sick, but he won't touch Wayne's points record. I'm guessing you weren't alive to see him play.

no kidding. he's probably too unselfish. he passes off on way too many quality chances. he could be leading the league in goals if he wanted

[@ConnorMcMatthews]

Crazy how much offense he produces. We're all telling him to shoot more because he has so many opportunities to do so, but he still leads his team in shot and is 22nd in the league in shots ahead of guys like Forsberg, Perry and Malkin.

true, also everything back then was so pixelated. It would be so much easier nowadays to see the puck because everything looks so crisp.

People also forget that you couldn't pass over two lines.

It's too bad that he's currently dwelling in the black hole that is the Edmonton Oilers. They need to get better fast!! Just like Gretzky pretty soon they won't be able to afford him.

[@Dobriden_dobriden]

His speed and stickhandling is off the charts bro. But he lacks the point scoring that a generational talent should produce. Hope he stays healthy and have those 50+ goals seasons.

[@ConnorMcMatthews]

Якошиба Цицибара Lacks point scoring? 100 points as a sophomore

[@Dobriden_dobriden]

70% of those points are assists. How many of those assists were direct passes/setups? Not saying 30 goals/season isn't impressive - by todays standards that is an elite player. Is it legendary material though? That's the thing with hype - it's all marketing garbage. NHL wanted a new poster boy since Crosby is now a veteran. McDavid is obviously dope, but giving him all that pressure must suck.

[@ConnorMcMatthews]

Якошиба Цицибара With era adjusted stat, he's on a better pace than Crosby was at his age

It’s cold in Edmonton 9 months of the year, it’s a dirty city. The city council is full of socialist busybodies. This is basically a resource mining colony that’s been operating so long they’ve built amenities for the families of workers. Our federal govt is a to go trying to destroy our industry and our housing market. That being said, being able to watch McDavid live almost makes it worthwhile living here. I hope he and Draisaitl can bring a cup and then move their families somewhere civilized.

[@anton1hannel626]

2-nd Datsyuk

[@Michael-fw5ef]

McDavid reminds me of Datsyuk. Very talented with the puck and his stick-handling, but doesnt score as much as he should. Gretzky famously said 'Never stickhandle more than you have to if you have open ice'. Gretzky meant that you shouldnt waste time stickhandling too much when it doesnt produce goals. You have to drive to the net and get your shot away instead of so much razzle, dazzle. Datsyuk, despite his talent, only scored a high of 32 goals once. McDavid reminds me alot of Datsyuk. He wastes so much time doing so little instead of trying to put the puck in the net. Ovi is a better offensive threat than McDavid because Ovi understands the need to shoot and produce goals. Ovi is a pure goal scorer whereas McDavid is flash, but not as much substance.

[@chizorama]

Well put & spot on. Wayne made it look so easy, his highlights are boring compared to McDavids, but who cares when you put up those numbers.

[@Michael-fw5ef]

Still can't hit 50 goals. Still won't ever win a cup. Lemieux was a better player.

[@JACKAL747]

Guarantee he is a way better player than you
