Its gotta be a GREAT feeling to have ESPN do a story on your goal. Connor McDavid is giving hockey credibility in the sports world, I do not watch hockey but here I am. Kudos to him for an amazing goal.
and yet 99.5% of the population in the US will never know/see this goal. That's the sad part.
@@trvman1 maybe like 93% but yea
I love how Draisaitl is a total fan too.
I was at the game and the energy in the crowd was the best I've seen in my life. What a special moment!
From an Avs fan, they really picked themselves up out of that slump and made a good run. Ended up in the Western Conference Finals. This is all part of the journey, Edmonton will be back for sure. We went out three times in a row in the second round so Colorado was ready this year. Watching Draisaitl and Connor is special. Hopefully the Avs can lift the cup but I expect to see the Oilers back in the playoffs next year for another deep run. Respect.
3:03 The look on his face says it all. Even he can't believe what he just did.
heavy 08 Pens vibes. Two superstars, ready to take a young team to the next level.
Except at their age they would be the 2012 pens.
bahahaha... Connie has never won at any level but he's going to win the stanley cup?? LMAO
@@That90sShow He has two IIHF gold medals
@@That90sShow Can’t blame the guy. Oilers has had a weal depth all of his carreer. It’s a team game you know. Now with some decent depth Oilers are on fire! They are legit contenders now to fear. No way he won’t win it at least once. People like you always doubted Ovi and look how wrong you were. Soon you’ll be on the wrong side of history once again
@@dwaynethewokjohnson7773 We're not contenders yet, but we are much closer than people are willing to admit. But great points though!
I was an Oilers fan as a kid for the Gretzky 80s. This is sick, fun and kinda weird it’s all happening again. 21st century version of the 80s on deck.
My Dad has lived through the glory years and horrible years, so he felt this game was over. Me however, I'm 22, I was young and naive. I told him the game was not over. But holy mackeral was that something. My Dad I both looked at each other and screamed after that goal, got off of our lazy butts and jumped. It was only November, but I could feel that building's energy for the next week, and that game I think really begun our ascension to the top of the league (before teams figured us out and we had to fire Tippett, but that's another story). Thank you for this video, really helped me relive that absolutely magical moment. I have to say one thing you missed (you show it a little bit): in the press conference room if you listen to the post game you could hear the fans shouting MVP.
I'm a religious person, but it's because of Connor that I believe in magic, afterall, that's why we call him McJesus. It's because of that magic I know we can contend soon, not now of course, the next few years will be disappointing, but we'll be there someday; and if somebody looks back on this comment after McDavid leaves and we don't win won, let this comment be a testament of the magic he inspires. Thank you Connor McDavid.
Just gotta say, I effing love having Jack Michaels as a play by play commentator!
Best game I’ve ever been too. Wild ride of emotions haha.
bobby orr loop, pavel bure speed, mario lemiex hands
Datsyukian moves but faster. The Datsyuk goals against Nashville and San jose where he danced around 3 players is the only thing I can compare with Mcdavid
LMAO.. Ive seen a hundred Pavel Bure goals better.. With a wooden stick
@That90sShow this comment just shows you can't accept greatness or you are blind
He wowed himself. Thats unreal.
Seeing hockey on ESPN is so satisfying. The sport now has credibility.
LMAO... And a whopping 6500 sunbscribers.. McNugget is really growing the sport!!
Disney makes hockey legit? Nah its just how you perceive it
espn has not aired nor commented on your idiotic opinion so according to u, u have zero credibility..
Nice to see Zach Hyman being seen as a real asset in Edmonton.
Hardest working out there and the results show that! He fits in so well with Connor and Leon. That 1st line is deadly and the top 6 is the best in the league hands down. Hyman has more goals than anyone on the Leafs. Leafs should mever have signed Tavares and kept both Kadri and Hyman
@@dwaynethewokjohnson7773 Ok...let's be clear. Hyman is a good hard-working player, but you're forgetting the fact that he's on a line with Draisaitl and McDavid. Of course he has lots of scoring opportunities. And no...he does not compare with the skills of Tavares, Matthews or Marner. He's a hard-working forward that would not do great things on his own.....but is a huge asset to a high scoring line as he does well at the front of the net and digging pucks out of the corner. Don't delude yourself over him. Honestly, you have little perspective about how to build a team properly, with the statements you made. In all his years in Toronto, he averaged from 30 to 40 points per year. Ya....you pair him up with McDavid and Draisaitl who are accumulating amazing stats..and of course he looks better..lol. Stats are not the biggest measure of secondary players. You have to look at it in context. Ya...if the Leafs dumped Tavares, they would be up shit's creek. He's a real leader....Hyman is not. The guy has amazing skills in front of the net....deflecting shots. Hyman is far below him in that regard. They are just not comparable. You really need to study hockey a bit more. And Kadri was both an asset...and a hindrance. When you get suspended in playoff series two years in a row, it's a real problem, especially when a team is really counting on you to play your part. It's not like that pattern has stopped either, with Colorado. How many times now has Colorado choked in the playoffs?? Same can be said of Edmonton also. When Edmonton starts advancing in playoff series, we can then maybe talk...especially if Hyman is actually doing his part and more.
@@joeidaho5938 Wow seems like someone got offended. I have never stated he is more skilled than any of those but it is funny that he has outscored them all. Also he has played really good and is a big reason why McDavid and Draisaitl can do so good. They both make each other better it's just not one way or another
@@dwaynethewokjohnson7773 Read your own shit that you wrote...lol. You said the Leafs should have traded Tavares and kept Hyman and Kadri...lol. That is just plain foolish shit. And you're still talking about Hyman having more points or more goals...without noticing that he's on a line with 2 of the highest point getters and goal scorers in the league. Ya...the people that played alongside Gretzky also got a lot of goals and assists. At least do a proper fucking analysis...lol. Yes, Hyman has helped the cause.....but don't tell me he's a major factor in McDavid or Draisaitl pumping in a lot of goals and assists. You're letting your head swell...rather than actually doing proper analysis.
@@joeidaho5938 Hyman is on a line with McDavid and Puljujarvi. Also he works his ass off every shift and has done a fantastic job. I never said the Leafs should trade Tavares I said they should not have signed him from the beginning
Steven A Smith at the end of the video 😅 that man is everywhere ♥️👊🏾
And then he literally did it again like a week later against a different team
@@jaredfulford5111there were 5 games in between that span
It’s simply unmatchable
I was at this game and the atmosphere was unbelievable! Go oilers go!
And people continue to say that Matthews is better. This is live proof that they're wrong
I was there and being a nyr fan homie wasn't even touched. its his agility not his speed his first step is better than anybody in nhl history.
Well he just scored another one against the jetts
That was a beaut but didn't we see a number of those during the Oiler's Dynasty era with Messier and Glenn Anderson? Sure they didn't cut in the middle but from the wing and just crashed the net protecting the puck. Who was it that perfected the technique of going in hard while holding out their hand to protect the puck from poke checks? Glenn Anderson did a number of those during his career.
search Connor's Sports 60 Minutes interview
It only took him a week to score another one like that (against the Jets).
Go Oilers!
I swear he has one of the most blahh personalities of all time but hes so good on the ice its really annoying you wanna like him but once he starts talking your just let down
Hindsight is 20/20...the greatest thing about this goal is always going to be that it was against the 21-22 New York Rangers 😉
LGR
It was against Nemeth and Georgiev, the Rangers’ 2 biggest defensive liabilities. Beautiful goal still, just saying he wasn’t exactly beating the best here.
Was that game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final?
Kevin Lowe thanks the Rangers when the Oilers are retiring his Jersey LOL. Classic Lowe. To me that's more unbelievable than McDavids goal.
Well that Rangers cup was basically an Oilers cup. It brought together Oilers legends for one last run.
It was great and all, but the Rangers had their bottom d pairing out. Nemeth really sucks, he has 5 points in 56 games and is a -10. Georgiev was also in net, 0.892 sv % and 3.11 gaa, pretty shoddy goalie. Put Shesterkin in the net instead and Adam Fox on defence there and the odds become a lot less likely if him scoring like that. He very well still could, he beats the best goalies and defensemen often, just saying it’s not as impressive considering who he was going up against here.
Cry harder 😂😂😂
And after all this it didn’t win goal of the year smh Colorado fans delusional if they think makars goal was better
They all got undressed by McDavid🔥🔥
Yes it was good, but weak sauce on the NYR defense.
LETS FUCKING GO OILERS
Unbelievable? Lmao
I saw all of lemieux and jagr during my youth... This is nothing lol i saw that 100 times during the 90s.. And against guys like gretzky yzerman messier sakic forsberg bure selanne... Not against the new york strangers
why are they dramatizing this regular season game goal so much
Cause they're using it to market the sport. Something that is heavily lacking! It's an awesome goal but yeah not a massive deal but to have like a whole story done up about it and put on espn for many other fans of other sports to see and possibly get them into this amazing sport. It does nothing but help this sport grow. I really don't see a downside to this.
The NHL is obsessed with selling the sport with Connie, which is why they cream themselves for every point he gets.. But Connie has NO personality, charisma, leadership abilities, etc... He is a boring, entitled, whiner that cant win when it counts.
@@That90sShow fine with me. Who cares about his personality. He’s the most humble dude ever and only focuses on playing hockey not being exciting in press conferences. No body comes to watch hockey for exciting press conferences. They come for the exciting sport that is hockey. You’re obviously one of those people that solely blames Connor for his teams lack of success! 😂 ppg player in the playoffs but yeah it’s his fault they can’t win.
@@That90sShow hes really not a whiner... hes the best player in the world. espn just doesnt know shit about hockey anymore. theyre so into basketball culture and shit
@UCSGTCm_L2ssNJmScEhJU3og You’re a loser that will never amount to nothing and his greatness is just a reminder of how shitty your life actually is. Shut the fuck up you corny fucking loser
he has told this story so many times already he seems so blasé
Wasn't that good.... pleeeeaaase
Sorry but Fiala was better
Lol that’s funny
Who?
It's SO cringe seeing guys like Nurse and Draisaitl getting so much fame riding on Connor's coat tails. I hate to say it, but hardly no team deserves him outside of maybe an olympic-level Team Canada itself (an All-star team). Many of these teammates will be raised into the rafters in 30 years, just like Coffey and Lowe.. 100% undeserved, solely there because of where they were at a specific time/who they played with. Edmonton is the worst 'private boys club' of the entire NHL; a franchise surviving on 1-man dynasties. A recycled staff team of it's own ancient rosters - This, coming from a diehard Oilers fan.
Ummm....stop with all the hype! That goal was not amazing and wouldn't have happened in the 80's. Why you might ask....well he would have been flattened by one or more of those 4 defenders at the blue line! Todays hockey is soft and without the 2 line pass rule its a cherry pickers game. OV takes full advantage of that on his way to breaking scoring records. Connor is a great player but that goal was just a straight burst of speed through 4 players of which 3 did nothing but skate along! NO stick check or body checks whatsoever for fear of a penalty!? Sorry folks but a super weak defense doesn't make a spectacular goal!
sorry grandpa, do you need your diaper changed?
Yeah for sure your opinions more valid than people like Don Cherry. Goof
@@lkkjhg45 hahahahah
Not sure if your retarded or blind
Jesus christ.... I've seen hundreds and hundreds of better goals.. Millennial fan boys and the media shilling for their golden girl is pathetic
