Paul Kariya is an absolute legend of hockey

[@davidpitts5851]

HarmanSin in my opinion, that game 6 finals goal, most incredible and emotional goal in hockey history. Even if you don’t agree completely, can’t argue it isn’t in top 5. What a moment, what a player. And Gary Thorne lol. What a damn call on that goal.

[@Draftspike]

I have an old Paul Kariya jersey :)

If he played in today's era where the game is a lot safer, and the smaller, speedy players get to shine, he'd be a top five player in the league easy.

[@Connor8609]

FooCards88I read somewhere he would be basically like a more lethal Johnny Gaudreau.

[@Michael-fw5ef]

He would surpass Connor McDavid in point total every season. Easily.

[@Wainfleetkx450f]

Michael not even close

[@Michael-fw5ef]

@@Wainfleetkx450f He scored 108 points and 50 goals in the dead puck ear of the 1990s, when players would get hit everywhere on the ice and sticks to the face and head were the norm. Imagine Kariya in today's no hitting, super soft NHL style of play. He would score 150 points easily and approach 70 goals.

[@JaysonHoang14]

Connor Brady That’s pretty accurate. Kariya was dangerous everytime he touched the puck

[@paulnettles9109]

A smaller man in a big man's era, but he had a heart that was as big as any. Sniper on the slapshot, one of the best wrist shots I've ever seen, and he could absolutely fly. Great in that era, but would be absolutely insane in today's era.

[@sucersdungeon]

Watching Kariya highlights is a bit like watching Selänne highlights. And watching Selänne highlights is pretty much watching Kariya highlights😂 The ultimate duo

[@princeleo276]

My first favorite hockey player as an 8 year old. This man made me love the game from a young age. A DEFINITE hall of famer. Well deserved. As a young kid who didn't know much about the game then, I was always excited to see him. In his own words, "Hockey is the greatest sport in the world."

[@DriverBus97]

Любимый игрок! из-за него я начал смотреть НХЛ в 95-м году! Лига должна была что-то делать после грубости в его адрес! Величайший игрок,выходил и забивал,даже после сотрясения...несмотря на небольшой вес и рост,мощно щёлкал! До сих пор болею за криворуких Уток,но только из-за Пола! Пол,до конца,до последнего дыхания,я буду помнить Твою игру,негрубую,корректную и великолепную игру!!!

[@user-ek1fr2ky8q]

Соглашусь с вами! Для меня Кария лучший канадский хоккеист. Его игра вызывала у меня восторг, особенно на европейских площадках. Давным-давно "СЭ" написал про него-первый кандидат на 150 очков, к сожалению не сложилось.

[@babyface76]

Late 90s Ducks were such a fun team to watch

[@Ben-il3oc]

Word. I love Teemu and Paul. I wished Paul didn’t keep asking for high salary(he earned whatever he negotiated) bc they winded up making half of the team payroll. Hard to win like that in terms of roster quality.

Devils better

[@jaykat22]

Paul Kariya: * gets puck* Teemu Selanne: OH HELL YEAH

[@Mr_Heydrich]

Kariya's Edge play was always a thing of beauty to watch and with Selanne playing next to him they were damn near unstoppable. The way they would set each other up was amazing. Nuff said

[@luigic1739]

he'd be unreal in the game today as far as point production

[@Michael-fw5ef]

He would be superior to McDavid by far. McDavid does alot of razzle/dazzle, but he doesnt put up more points than any other high-level player. Kariya was much more talented than McDavid is.

[@Michael-fw5ef]

[@roycecone4871]

@@Michael-fw5ef Mcdavid would skate through everyone in the 90s he the fastest skater ever and strong on the puck Kariya was still amazing though no doubt about that

[@Michael-fw5ef]

@@roycecone4871 If he was hit once, he would slow down. In today's NHL, there is no hitting, no fighting, no stick work compared to the 1990s. McDavid only seems good in today's NHL because the talent level is so low. And remember, for all McDavid's flashy play, he was only a +3 last year and his team missed the playoffs. Gretzky finsihed with a plus +500 in his career and won 4 stanley cups, with his team making the playoffs almost every year he was in the NHL. Kariya took his team to the Stanley Cup finals. Kariya scored 50 goals in his 2nd year in the NHL in the dead puck era of the 1990s, when it was much harder to score. McDavid cant even make the playoffs and will likely never make it to the Cup finals. Again, McDavid only seems good against today's low quality of NHL players.

[@andyc9979]

I always remember the bat out of the air and smirk one. That was a classic. Obviously off the floor on the board is his most iconic moment but a sad one. That was the one that really took some of it away from him.

Kariya and Selanne, truly magical.

[@VikingOlberg-NymoenOfNorway]

Gretzky, Federov and Kariya thank you

[@69waystogo]

Jesus that duo was deadly and fun to watch. Like Selanne said, it worked because Kariya could handle the puck at full speed. And I mean FULL speed. At his best he was almost as explosive as #97

[@AC-wl7ve]

i dont say this about too many players from other eras, but i think kariya would absolutely dominate in todays nhl. speed, agility, hands, shot, and great hockey sense. unfortunately the era he played in was not kind to smaller players.

[@Finland1965]

Big respect to Paul...from Finland.

[@wade5307]

He should’ve made the Top 100 players of the century list. At his peak this guy was almost Gretzky good. He was blazing fast, had a wicket shot and was an incredibly gifted playmaker...all while only standing about 5’9. Injuries robbed him of a truly legendary career

[@scotthanson5365]

A legend at Maine, a legend in the NHL, one of the greatest

[@ajpdeschenes]

3:59 is one of my favorite Kariya goals. I regret he was not in the top 100 NHL players. I'm sure if he had 11 more career points, he would have been included.

[@markbertrand4524]

My favourite player and the reason I’m a Ducks fan. What a video. Great trip down memory lane.

[@LEEMAN-X]

He is the number one reason I started watching hockey in the mid 90s. He was so fast and his slap shot was so ridiculous hard...to this day my favorite number is 9....my second fav number is 8 hehe 😁😁

[@Barbellque]

Insane how much Zegras plays like Paul

[@camdudzinski5206]

Damn this is great. One of my favorite players. Thank you

[@tylerhuntdesign]

If you really want to watch just how skilled he was find the 42-1-2 documentary on the 92/93 Maine Black Bears. He was simply leagues about everyone in the NCAA that year and it's a wonder he didn't put up more than the 100 points he finished with. It's likely we will never see a college hockey season that dominant again, given the parity and expansion D1 has seen over the last two decades, so it makes it more fun to appreciate just how insane of a season he had. In fact, the 1993 swimsuit edition of Sports Illustrated had an article on Kariya with comparisons to Gretzky, which was a very bold proclamation, but not totally unwarranted at the time.

[@Joseph-oy2qk]

He was the best player when he played at Maine 👍

[@shaynejonze99]

I wish the injuries hadn't caught up with him, he was the entire reason I started watching hockey when he was with the Blues.

[@danielficarra2557]

I had the chance to go to the jersey retirement ceremony, what an incredible experience definitely once in a life time type of thing. I’m glad my ducks got him as we were an expansion team in 93 and needed big time production can’t get any better then him. Too bad he had so many concussions could’ve been the next Gretzky.

[@ilkka5267]

My dream line would be Kariya, Forsberg and Selänne, who is btw underrated as a passer. That line would destroy any defence with today's rules and playing style.

Ike Jones most amazing emotional goal in hockey history. Def top 3 at least. Stevens tried to act like he wasn’t surprised, but you know he was flat out shocked Kariya came back in. I’m sure the audio doesn’t do it justice, but i bet that had to be one of the loudest moments ever at the pond

We watch Paul Kariya do a Sydney Crosby like move at 3:33 and there are Millenials watching that claim Kariya couldnt play in today's NHL. So, according to Millenials, Crosby couldnt play in today's NHL either because Kariya was doing Crosby's move before Crosby even came into the NHL.
