One of the best passers I've ever seen. Simple. We've seen a lot of skill put on display at the WJHC, but we haven't quite seen anyone like Trevor Zegras before. There are players in the NHL who are gifted passers as well. Take a look at Nicklas Backstrom, Leon Draisaitl, Joe Thornton and Henrik Sedin when he played. Washington’s Nicklas Backstrom has to be the best passer I’ve ever seen. If I had to compare Zegras to any player, I would say it would be Backstrom. His vision while cycling and forechecking seems second-to-none. It’s as if he has eyes at the back of his head. One of the best pure passers we have seen at the WJHC in a while. His play replicates that of Backstrom’s to a great extent. Backstrom is more of an “outlet pass off the boards to a winger in the neutral zone” and “great saucer pass archer,” while as Zegras is more of a “read the play - find the seam” passer. While Backstrom has shown flashes of this in the past, Zegras excels consistently.
It’s amazing to see the rising of an American Superstar. Completely dominated the World Juniors. It’s been amazing to see the US completely revamp hockey at the youth level. US hockey is in its Golden generation right now. Whooh go ducks too. USA
No one really talks about how that was probably one of the greatest Canada WJC teams of all time, and Zegras not only talks smack before the game but backs it up too…it was insane to watch
The eye test was a no brainer. Can't believe the teams that past him. If the Hawks took him. None of the rebuild would be happening. Zegras and Kane would destroy
This team was fucking great. He talked shit about Canada and backed it up. Gotta give him respect. I'm Canadian and I wanted team Canada to smash them. The US has really went next level over the past 5 years in this tournament.
He's got a lot more development still in him, he's a great player now but hopefully in 5 yrs you will see what I mean he's nowhere near his roof .. but I like that misa kid personally as far as what I see in them each at their respective points, like for before zegras played any pro hockey. That kisa kid is seriously talented I think he's gonna be the next big deal like a mcdavid. He's so advanced in his decision making, positioning, vision, I can't imagine what he'll be at 18
For anyone who has ever played this game knows that the puck has some weight to it... is it just me or does it appear that his skills make it seem like the puck weights nothing???
Looking back, he's too precious & absolutely believed the hype surrounding him. In the nhl he's not made such a big impression Vs men, but hopefully & its now 2024, injury took most of his season & he seems overwhelmed but he'll turn it round & knuckle down. Otherwise he'll have been another spoilt rich boy.
talks the talk and walks the walk...legendary gold medal game performance
Looking at this roster and how these guys are producing currently in the NHL this might be one of the greatest USA junior teams ever!
Yeah
When USA came out in the throw back jerseys we all knew it was over
Zegras and Cole Caufield were magic on that power play.
As a Canadian definitely hated the end result but Zegras backed up all his talk. Have to give him credit. Great tournament
i don’t know if i’ve ever seen a hockey player on such a lock it down & go mode in my life. was unreal watching those games
lol stop exaggerating bro
@@RawDogTV stfu he played fantastic
@@tuomasvesanto3703 your opinion is irrelevant
@@RawDogTV how is it irrelevant
Bedard
Ducks fans couldn’t be more excited!
Absolutely love this kid’s game, so confident and so so talented… This will be a video people return to once he becomes a superstar!
dudes from my hometown love seeing ppl u met irl and see them play pros
This US team was STACKED… Caufield, Boldy, Zegras, etc. All amazing guys.
High key gonna be one of my favorite players in the NHL

definitely one of the most dominant world junior performances ever

Idk if I've ever seen someone as happy every time they score more than Cole caufield
That Sweden goal was criminally undersold…. Horrible angle he found the little sweet spot top shelf… god damn
Rockin the wired headphones through the shirt like a true champ.
Lol

He was right tho. Levi wasn't tested before
First time I'm hearing of him, what an incredible talent!
Such an amazing video, great edit!
I understand that he has weasel features but he scored the most amazing goals i've ever seen.
The staredown 😍😍😍
This Team Chipotle kid looks pretty good.
As a Canadian fan I hated when Zegras had the puck

Everyone in Anaheim loves Zegras

I love the vid man!
Great vid!
Trevors like the best guy at doing does lacrosse moves
in the nhl there is many good people that can do this out of the nhl and stuff
theres no way your dissing the Goalie at 7:28. That shot was insane.
Oh wait- just Zegras. NVM
Yeah like bro no one can stop that, what do you mean you just have to save that, it’s Iike as close to top corner as it can be
USA hockey is so good these days. Zegras is similar to Eichel but might be even better
Good job and cool
Très bien fait chapeaux👌🏻
Silky smooth
Man I forgot just how bad we messed up Austria lmao shots 64-5 6 min into the 3rd period lmao 💀
unreal player
I hate how people got mad at Zegras for the interview but like what do you want him to do lie
For anyone who has ever played this game knows that the puck has some weight to it... is it just me or does it appear that his skills make it seem like the puck weights nothing???
If you learn how to control the puck every day, you will be the same the puck will feel less heavy
i saw him play at bu i knew he would be good
Anaheim does love this kid did you see that goal him and milano scored on Buffalo
Zehra’s is so far the smoothest player I’ve seen this year by FAR
At least we have Dalibor Dvorský 🇸🇰🇸🇰🇸🇰
No one said you could play NHL 21 rookie mode IRL.....
On no ones radar?? Did no one watch his draft year highlights? Dude is the best playmaker I've ever seen.
still amazing how he dropped to 9th
@@matthewkabel6246 still pissed he didnt drop to 10th haha
What is that sound at 7:12 ?
wow
3:37 on repeat
Please can we get a face reveal showtime?
Holy fuck this kid is gold
Whats the songs name?
Nothing about him being dominant surprised me. What surprised me was that he dropped to 9th in the draft instead of the top 3.
He did the same thing Mark Mess did in 1994 lol
Greg and Juilly created a monstee
Looking back, he's too precious & absolutely believed the hype surrounding him.

Finland is boss🍺🇫🇮
how the hell is this dude younger than me by a year? what do americans eat?
Potential future Sabre in Eichel trade lol I hope anyway
No way lol he is the only hope the ducks have
Lucas Raymond had more points last season on a crappy team
It’s kind of an advantage that Zegras uses his piece instead of a hockey stick
He’s a special player! He works hard, AHL, Dumb
Bad coaching that put him on 4th line 18 points in 7 games 😂
Yeah I’m Canadian but this guy is grosss🤢🤮🔥🔥
7 goals and 7 assist = 14 points not 18
Fortnite zegras
and to think he sucked in 20/21 season. incredible
13 points in 24 games with 3rd line minutes, wouldn’t really consider that sucking?
@@mitchvandendorpe4289 in comparison to his performance in WJC he sucked
@@BigVuVu well theres a huge difference between the world juniors and the NHL. Hes still one of the best players in the world

All that to play in the AHL lol
its called developing
