Watching Connor McDavid in the NHL is legit indistinguishable from watching a Junior A player get sent to his Junior C affiliate for a few games to help them cash in a few easy points.

[@kevinbrowning5016]

Dude's so fast even in slo mo it looks too quick to stop

[@davidkozak8786]

His wrist shot is so hard to stop because he doesn't "point" his stick like everyone else does. Point the end of the stick shows the goalie where the puck is going. He flicks his wrist while turning to blade just a small amount so you can never know where it's going. Amazing!!

[@johnlawson181]

His snap and backhand are pretty hard to tell, but his wristshot is pretty distinct when he loads it up and the stick flexes.

[@johnlawson181]

You cant tell direction from the tell, but you can tell when the shot is coming

[@lalalal8111]

You don't know hockey stick to curling

[@andrewgibb8846]

Looks like he’s practiced stick handling a few times. When you’re that quick with control, the goalie is handcuffed and must move to one side or the other. I’m truly happy for Connor and all his well deserved success, amazing.

[@cts_corey1119]

Yes very true. As a goalie myself I know what it feels like to be facing someone stickhandling that fast

[@andrewgibb8846]

@@cts_corey1119 I don’t see too many goalies poke check McDavid, I wonder if he can be psyched out with one? Goalies must get creative against this magician. 🍻

[@prayforparis187]

@@andrewgibb8846 they can but you clearly saw it in the clip against Saros where he took that same anchor move from the two previous clips, but added the fake to it. Saros clearly did his hw n was expecting the backhand off the anchor move in close, but that fake still made him look lost lmao. Mcdavid clearly has the ability to make that split second decision on if one of his go-to moves will work or not (& sell a fake shot accordingly). Not much goalies can do ab that lol (sorry for rant btw)

Best hockey player in game today by far with his incredible talent and could be ever as time goes on.

[@Michael-du2fv]

He has such great puck control and moves it so fast, to the goalie its like putting $20 on a shell game where the person moves the shells so fast and confusing you have no clue where the ball went. You can see the frustration in the goalies after the fact.

[@Sinister392]

I’ve played hockey for many years and saw some crazy talents, I have never , ever seen someone with his speed and agility. He is truly a artist out there !!!! 👏👏👏👏

[@TheMikeyb86]

Poor Saros put up the glove on the OPPOSITE side of where McDavid went. Like, the man had to guess! Or if he didn't, McDavid had him so fooled. That's my favorite shootout goal.

[@MisterTerrifico]

@@TheMikeyb86 pretty sure his glove went up to help him change his momentum across the net but he had no chance

[@cts_corey1119]

it is possible to stop that if you actually aren't panicking and manage to slide over quick enough to even get in front of the shot but the actual shot will be hard to stop cuz it is a top-shelf roof from in front of the crease. Those are very hard to stop. But otherwise great effort from Gibson.

[@MrWazzasupgee]

He doesnt even do fancy stuff most of the time, just finds the hole and hits it perfectly, accuracy is just crazy. But then he got handles, speed, vision/iq

[@ashtonsmith9890]

the effort from the keeper at 2:45 was nice

[@andrewmares6707]

As a Kings fan, tip of the hat to McDavid. Guy is amazing.

[@Amron10149]

He’s unbelievable!

[@arkine11]

Cool how they start saying "he's not good on breakaways" and as you watch it sort of makes sense. He's a calm, collected, pick his moments type of player. Notice how almost every shot here he takes his time rather than speeding down the ice. A breakaway you have to be as fast as possible to stay ahead whereas here you can take your time. It actually makes sense.

[@mastyer0fReality]

I think whoever made that statement forgets that when he blasts throughb2 d men and scores that's technically a break away goal. I think Connor is just more focused on creating breakaways than scoring on a breakaway when he's up 4 goals I the 3rd period.

[@cts_corey1119]

But the thing is. He is also very good at breakaways too. I wonder if that person has ever seen what he did to Morgan Rielly. #rip morgan.

[@57Jimmy]

Watching McDavid play and make his moves in close is like… (if you’re old enough to remember)…playing a Sony reel to reel tape then hitting Fast Forward! This lad is bloody amazing!🇨🇦

[@graham6132]

His method is really simple: He starts coming in fast so the goalie comes out early, then he slows down and stick handles while waiting for the goalie to back up into the net and provide an opening for him to do a quick snapshot. If the goalie doesn’t back up, or doesn’t give an opening, then he improvises.

[@cc1khcr289]

Yup he has more talent. But also keep in mind that back then, Gretzky would have even more of a skill gap compared to the league than McDavid had now. Plus more points and goals. Just my opinion

[@goalieguy2345]

When coach joins the shootout at the end of practice 😂

[@DA12ECKLESS]

This is crazy because as professionals they should be thinking of that, in the event of a shootout you need to know your opponent (as a goalie) to try and help predict their “move” connor seems to do shots only, he doesnt try and get it around you, just dances and shoots when you dont expect. When you start thinking “is he gonna shoot or deke” thats when he does it. Its like he knows they are looking for the shot not a fake whereas the norm is the other way around the look for the move not the shot

[@realmslayerxx725]

I dont understand why these goalies dont leave their net. There were so many opportunities for the goalie to advance to give McDavid less angles and proceed to poke check when he tries to cut in or out. They put themselves in a position where they have to rely 100% on reaction. Where otherwise you can make him move predictably and control how he advances by baiting.
