The evolution of Cale Makar into the NHL's most dangerous defenceman

[@coyotesfilm3000]

you make understanding the ins and outs of why cale makar is so good seem so simple, great videos as always

[@Mk7Poorsche]

Between him MacKinnon and Rantanen, it's a good time to be an avs fan! That team is just so fun to watch and I wont be suprised to see a couple more big pushes for cups in the coming years as long as they can stay healthy.

[@alexbyoung]

This is the best hockey analysis I've ever seen. Well done. Cale's progression is remarkable.

[@k.mcgruder1710]

Great job! Solid in depth analysis in Cale’s progression since juniors. You really did your homework and it shows.

[@jakeheerwagen8007]

Great video, and I met him in Vancouver and the most genuine down to earth person I’ve ever met. Die hard Avs fans and yeah I’ll go through the 48 point season again to get him lol

[@00XNine]

And anyone who doesn't watch him will never understand just what kind of impact he has. He's on the power play, on the penalty kill, and he's just as good defensively as he is offensively. And just look at how often he's creating space by actually standing outside the zone but keeping the puck just on the blueline.... He's the complete 2-way player.

[@gatesgates7788]

He’s definitely not as good defensively as he is offensively.

[@psychwardsandSCENE]

if you need to watch him to understand, what was the point of your comment? retarded gatekeeping logic at it's finest

[@thejfk_experience490]

@@gatesgates7788 he's great defensively what do you mean Like yea his offense is great but his defense is elite and doesn't suffer from his offensive focus

[@beachie]

Excellent analysis. The way you draw the through-lines from his development years to his pro career is impressive. I especially liked how you included analysis on his defense and physicality, not just his offense. People who don't watch him play regularly often call him soft or say he's all offense. I appreciate that you pointed out that such descriptions are simply BS.

Incredible analysis. Thank you for this video.

[@EliteProspectsHockey]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@biffdanielson2820]

I've been watching the nhl for 29 years and haven't seen anything like him.

[@pinoyflavah4u]

Bravo! I can tell this video took a lot of time, effort, and passion for your craft. I can't imagine how much time it took for you to research, analyze, compile, and present your data on this topic. Keep up the hardwork!

[@ggladue316]

I love watching that pick on Mcdavid from the 22 playoffs. COuld not have been anymore perfect.

[@metalheadcol]

Yeah McDavids face right after was just pure shock, no one has ever done that to him before ever and completely threw him 😂 #AllHailCale

[@mikeryckman3120]

He was our hometown hero in brooks,always impressed with his passing skills and skating ability

[@peterk4216]

Been waiting so long for this 🙌, keep it up!

[@C-McK]

This video was tremendous I learned a lot about what I can be applying to my game to get better. Please make more like this 🙏

[@DerektheMotorider]

This analysis and side by side footage is almost as impressive as the talent being evaluated.

[@QuintonsPhotography]

Even when Makar doesn’t have a great game he is still very good defensively

[@303goonie]

One of the best analysis videos. Just fantastic. Thank you !

[@jocksmachina7759]

I have played hockey for many years and what makes Cale great seems true for most great players I have come across. They find a formula that works for them. They tend to have 2-4 plays they make consistently. Maybe plays is the wrong term the best players have a principle they apply consistently and it creates opportunities.

[@jojopellegrino402]

Definitely has a case for best video on all of KZbin!

[@TheGmen1515]

Phenomenal video. I think i might have to get a subscription if EPs other stuff is this good

[@sethsisneros6630]

What a great video man. All hail Cale!

[@SkepticHeathen]

Excellent breakdown. Wonderful work. Instant sub.

[@AnUnlikelyAthlete]

I really believe being around MacKinnon has made him an even better player. Mac is know to be a perfectionist with an amazing high standard for himself and those around him. I think all that has rubbed off on Cale on and off the ice. Add in others like Rantenen and Landeskog and a coach like Bednar and you have the completion of putting the final touches on a generational player. Also, with Mac on the ice at the same time, its literally unfair, who do you cover, they have a fluid offence built on the constant motion of these players.

[@danglesnipecelly13]

I remember wanting him so fckn bad. I figured the wings didn’t have a shot it’s the 9th pick. I just remember watching his highlights and was mind blown with his offensive game. And he ends up becoming a damn Gem 💎

[@bslow1189]

Well done!

[@gustavquicksand3402]

Makar seems to force teams to choose between overcommitting to cover him and letting him sort of do whatever he wants with his area of the ice.

[@davidst-louis8315]

Amazing video!!

[@hos2841]

Some of these clips are insane lol

[@mikehanzal9562]

Honestly. Bobby Orr. With good knees. Amazing skater

[@stockey]

Nobody moves like Cale Makar, until Lane Hutson came along 😉

[@keytrees8476]

Even tho it seems he might take a small step back in terms of goal scoring and stats this season. Please don't get it twisted, he's the best defenseman in the league.

[@Etherix919]

The thing about Cale maker is that he is patient with the puck and Hartley stops moving

[@marumomothuloe1006]

great, now please do one for drew doughty

[@Semaj2326]

What are Luke Hughes's advanced stats in the NCAA?

[@jamesd1505]

Was Bobby Orr that quick?

[@DeathrashWhiplash]

Canucks need a Makar-like defenceman. Hughes is great, Makar is next level

[@nucksakes]

what a terrible take

[@ИгорьЯрощук-ц9с]

SUPER !!!

[@johnhanover2229]

He makes impossible skating look easy. He pulled all four penalty killers away from protecting the net in Nashville and had two big targets to screen and deflect past a frozen goalie. He will break Orr’s records.

[@guillaumecourville456]

Can you do tanner molendyk

[@jgarr84]

He tossed a game stick on the covid 52 game final game of the season. I have it.

[@jgarr84]

I caught it. With proof 😊

[@ThierryLeYeti]

I hope Lane Hutson is Makar 2.0

[@21Swizzle92]

Je crois que Hutson va être une machine pour l’offense. Mais pour la defensive il doit vrm travailler la dessus. Et va devoir ce raidir les jambes pour rester debout vu son petit frame

[@Regurgitator85]

I think Sheamus Casey is.

[@darrenpinard1658]

He’s not.

[@drewburns246]

Maybe do other players perhaps like Crosby, McDavid, and Patrick Kane lol

[@jamesd1505]

Is MAKAR the McDavid of defenceman 🤔😁

[@place_desjardins]

I was quite the dangerous defenseman in my men's league, division 5, where division 1 is the top level and division 6 is the bottom level. Cale Makar can snipe and dangle, and I can't, but I was able to decrease the effectiveness of the opposing team's offense. When I stepped on the ice, I was shutting everything down in my zone, except for the occasional breakaway. I meant to stop the puck but it got around me... that kind of silly stuff. I'm not going to dwell on my mistakes. Anywho, I'm on LTIR, long-term injured reserve, for those who don't know what that acronym stands for. Oddly enough, our team is performing the same without me. 😢

Allen Iverson of hockey

[@hubcap4KHDRgameplay]

it's a lot easier to gain points on a top team....Lets see him post anywhere as near these points on even an average team !

[@jonathanbeck63]

Just a reminder that Colorado was a playoff bubble team prior to Cale's arrival. They only became dominant after he joined the team. Cale is not great just because of the team he plays on. The team he plays on is great because of him.

[@unit-0-]

On an average team he would be even more dominant. Less stars to share with, and more cause for him to do it himself. I don't know why people think like this, it's the opposite of what y'all think ;)

[@Rossmelanson]

Nobody ever hits him, so yeah he can wander. No Bobby Orr.. jus sayin

[@tdfmtig]

Most dangerous defenseman even though Josi put up 96 points okay then

[@Cynthesis21]

You're obviously just a stat whacker who never played the sport before. If you couldn't tell that Makar is several levels above Josi during their matchup last playoffs, then you don't have an eye for hockey skill.

[@tdfmtig]

@@Cynthesis21 I meant dangerous offensively. And just because someone’s team is several levels above doesn’t mean all the individual players are 😂

[@JS-tx8ol]

Josi is great but Makar is way more dangerous lol

[@tdfmtig]

@@JS-tx8ol idk Josi had 96 points guy scares me when my team plays him a lot more

[@unit-0-]

@@tdfmtig which means you pay more attention to Josi and haven't been paying attention to Makar. The entire world of hockey is changing because of Makar, not Josi.
