This Guy Is So Cocky (And It's Really Funny)

World juniors 2024 are well underway and while most watched the canada vs sweden game or highlights , this usa vs czechia matchup was great. Like and subscribe to let me know you want more wjc highlights and content. This isaac howard shootout goal celebration was something else lol and it wasn't the first time we've seen this type of stuff from him. Stay tuned for nhl highlights today , news and rumors , reactions and rankings but also some 2023 24 world juniors highlights including canada sweden and team usa like this. Channel is mostly nhl hockey focused, but I absolutely love when I get to cover the wjc

Love the personality, you can tell this guy isn’t actually like an annoying super cocky pain in the neck, he’s just having a blast, he doesn’t take it to far and it’s super funny. And if anyone thinks it’s stupid there probably just people who get mad at every little thing

[@NF12222]

Everyone played with goofballs like this growing up, he just happens to be an NHL level talent lol

[@isaacsalmi427]

Well, he's good a great name.

[@isaacsalmi427]

As a fellow Isaac, I can confirm we love to entertain.

[@Axeom]

IDK - we'll have to see what the NHL thinks of him. Some team cultures won't put up with arrogance and he'll be dumped but, given he's on Tampa, I bet they'll keep him lol

[@localZero]

We all know USA is a synonym for arrogance :*

[@Filip-me1tw]

Hi from Czechia, I watched the whole game and I really enjoyed myself. I didn't like the celebration at first but now when I know it was "the best looking guy of the 2022 draft" I love it. It´s so funny🤣

[@livethegimmick24-7]

Just a kid having fun playing a game. That's all I see here. I'm all for it. These are the guys that usually bring a locker room together.

[@MethEnjoyer_]

The NHL needs more personality like this. It’s hard to grow the game if every player is boring as hell

[@ncpgaming8000]

I disagree I think that’s what a lot of people love about hockey. You don’t have a bunch of people with stupid outlandish personalities like some of the other sports do

[@dizzy8338]

@@ncpgaming8000I play hockey and all the personalities are boring as hell 😂 there is a reason why those “other sports” have more viewers and the players make more money and it becomes of the players personalities

[@llllllll153]

No, these r the things tht turn the game for the worse. These r the kind of players tht cant respect the game nor play the game with class….we need more guys tht r humble and that play the game the right way. None of this cocky bs. Last thing NHL needs is another arrogant pos like Jack Hughes….

[@Nichaelas]

People will say stuff like this shows immaturity, but I think that joking and not being too stiff is desirable and a pretty mature approach. Younger players can have a lot of pressure on them so if they take everything super serious all the time that pressure can affect their performance. While there are exceptions I'd say usually guys who make a joke like "I'm the best looking guy here" are the ones aware of what it implies and are obviously playing it off as a joke. It's a huge difference compared to just saying it not as joke at all.

[@brianshaughnessy4020]

Howard struggled a lot at Minnesota Duluth but he's having a very good year at Michigan State. UMD rarely produces high-scoring players; they tend to win with team defense and solid goaltending. So the change of scenery was probably what Howard needed to excel offensively.

[@spiritboxyxbox]

Msu is playing a very agressive mid game and offense which favors him and tommi mannisto which is great

[@Colby00]

I went to Duluth for the UND series. We won both, Duluth is pretty bad this year tko

[@osjkane7874]

Isaac Howard stole the show today without a doubt. Definitely lived up to his nickname, The Iceman, with that goal in the shootout. But, I have to say Juri Kulich’s shot has been one of the most impressive things I’ve seen in the World Juniors so far. That kid can absolutely rip it. I think Buffalo has another sniper on their hands

[@joshmoxey.]

This guy looks hilarious 🤣 I love when there are characters like this in the NHL

[@NF12222]

Funny you mention the screaming lady. I thought it was my baby daughter crying at first and kept looking over to her just sitting there playing lol

[@MSU-DetroitFan]

Love watching him in East Lansing for my Spartans (Trey Augustine also especially since he's a Red Wings Prospect)

[@isobaric]

People that don't love to see this kid have some fun and show some personality need to lighten the fuck up!

[@youknowimright.3137]

Hope we can get him in the line-up next season.

[@TheHoneyBadgerDUDE]

I'm actually loving the feisty nature to these world juniors. All of the other international hockey competitions have become boring and stale, the IIHF World Juniors are the last remaining tournament with any juice. Hopefully the next winter Olympics can be fun.

[@BowZeee]

Love that celly

I gotta admit even as a czech myself - that celly is GOLD😂😂😂

[@BigOH47]

Love your videos. I’m sure you’re already in the making of it but if u aren’t do u think u can make a video on the leafs and samsonov situation.

[@MoonAtomic7]

I remember growing out of my shell in high school and my buddies on my hockey team really loved it when I said and did stuff like this. Obviously didn’t mean a word of it and just having fun. Completely harmless. I don’t know if I’d do it at the draft or word juniors lol but props to this young man for enjoying life

[@OldishGoalie]

I thought they were butchering a peacock after every goal 😂

[@PerfectCell9]

Lmao I don’t usually like the show boating but that celebration was PIMP

[@danielleeanes8760]

Buddy is living his life and knows he’s blessed to get drafted to an awesome city and play the games he loves. Celly was hilarious lol. NHL needs more fun guys with big personalities

[@Stromboli15]

His comment about being the best looking is truly in the spirit of “Shoresy” or the guys from “spittin’ chicklets” is just the kind of “sauce” that makes this whole game so freaking fun and fresh!! The slicked back hair move is absolutely saucy!! 💥👊😆💥👍😁🫶👏😎👏😁👏😆

[@FrenchToast_28]

He’s from Hudson WI, I’m not at all surprised he’s cocky, it’s a very interesting town

[@scottybrowndotca]

I defs wish there was a little more of this in the NHL .. Still my favourite quote of the year was when Evander Kane was asked about giving body shots to Kolesar after he jumped a guy from behind and his response ended with "when you wanna f?ck around, sometimes you gotta find out" .. Obviously I'm way more of a Kane fan and his personality with him on my home team, but I have to give it up to guys who'll stir stuff up instead of giving the same, bland normal hockey answers to every question

[@Kaspisify]

My god I hadn't seen that. When he retires he needs to put on that suit again and do a retro buddy-cop movie.

I understand I am old school on this, but I believe part of what makes hockey a great sport is the humbleness displayed by all players. Not a fan of all these showmanship attitudes. You want respect and people to think you're great? Let your play speak for itself while the clock is running.

[@ahrenek]

Honestly, I'm fine with guys who bring in the type of personality that straddles the border between being an uppity superhero and a cartoon villain, as long as they keep it tasteful, which this guy seems to be doing.
