Kid's going to be the best defensive in the league for a very long time..

losing the draft lottery was a blessing in disguise. Top 2 player of the draft class along with pettersson

'Might want to figure-out more minutes for Makar'... understatement of the century in my book!

After watching him this past year I can say without a doubt he is the most fun defenseman I have ever seen play the game. I hope all of you get a chance to watch him in the playoffs this year because he is electric!

Makar's one-timer, slap shot from center ice was insane! What a wonderkind!!

Hits skating is next level. How he can dance and change direction on the blue line is truly amazing.

Makar shows shades of Sandis Ozolinsh. Both wore #8 and played with the same similar stature. Love it!

AV’s are going to have the scariest offensive defense possibly the NHL has ever seen once you have Makar, Byram, Timmons, Girard and Graves all together which should be next season. Whether they take the cup this year or not, they have a legit shot at winning multiple cups over the next 5-10 years. Sakic done gone out and built himself a monster! Crazy that the AV’s are only a few years removed from a 48 point stinker of a season but that did net them Makar so it was well worth the pain of watching games that year.

Saw him during my college years at UMass, the best athlete I’ve ever seen in person

Knew this guy was destined for greatness from the first time I seen him play in Brooks for the Bandits. He will be a top defenceman in the NHL for years maybe even decades to come. Thanks for the memories

He is the reason I bought a season ticket, despite not being able to afford it and living five hours from Denver. Mackinnon, Landeskog, Rantanen, Kadri and Nichushkin are just icing (pun intended) on the cake. You only see talent like this once in a lifetime. I don't want to miss a single point, let alone his minutes as stellar defensemen. He is the Michael Jordan of the NHL. He does things you just can't do, UNLESS you are Cale. All Hail Cale!

To 'Hockey Moments' production: Thank you for this video. Well done! Your documentary of Makar's path to the NHL is amazing!! I love this video! 👍👍

You talk to anybody in hockey about skating and using your edges and the first person they talk about is Sydney Crosby. I now put Makar in that Elite level skating tier. There are very few people who skate as smoothly as Makar does. Makar is one of those five tool players that is dangerous anywhere on the ice. He does things I haven't seen any defensemen do ever. You see how he shakes guys at the blue line, goes to a bird step and changes the angle of his shot to make sure it gets on net. He's a master of time and space to boot. As a guy who played defense my entire hockey career, when I saw him in college, I started fashioning my game after his. You have no idea the level of detail in his game once you start trying to emulate it. He's just on a completely different level.

This is so well done

Really loved your video and editing…thanks for sharing your love of the AVALANCHE

After the cup, I can't stop watching videos on him... It really feels like we're witnessing history unfolds like in the Lidstrom years. People are saying McDavid could be one the best player ever, Makar could be right up there as well, and it's exciting to watch those players evolve

2021......makar is going to win his first cup and the aves 3rd. 20 years this playoffs.....AND AFTER 22 YEARS RAYMOND BOURQUE!!!!! 20 years ago we last won the cup. 20 years ago we last made the finals. AND AFTER 20 YEARS COLORADO AVALANCHE!!!! ITS OUR YEAR!!! ALL HAIL CALE!!!

His brother also plays for the Brooks Bandits. Love to see both Makar's in the NHL in a few years.

This guy literally is like a crosby all arround player with freaking elite mcdavid speed for a d-man, watching this guy gives me goosebumps, he does everything, he's good defensively and throws the body, posseses mackinnon/mcdavid speed both stickhandling and skating, and a freaking crazy elite skating, with insane both slap and snap/wrist shot. There is nothing this guy can't freaking do, holy moly

The next norris trophy winner Makar!

wont be long til he has a cup. the Avs got a stacked team and now they got Bowen Byram

Not just Makar, the acquisition of Gerard and the two Johnson and Toews stepping up his game Makar has great d to line up with. Sakic really learned a lot from LaCroix.

"Timmins to Makar, back to Timmins," sounds like music to my ears. #allhailcale #goavs

Him and Quinn Hughes are both absolute studs. These guy's ability to jump up in a play is amazing. They both arguably could have been drafted 1st overall. Miro is excellent too and Dahlin was in Quinn's class so it's hard to say. So many great young Defencemen coming into the league

I encourage you to make more videos like this. A great long montage of a player’s highlights through junior to pro. Like Quinn Hughes or Heiskanen or Dahlin. Or any other forwards as well. Because I personally enjoyed watching this highlight reel over and over again.

Great video!

Honestly I didn't know that he was on a line with Timmons. The Avs have the best scouts in the NHL.

My next jersey purchase is #8..... all hail cale.... if he is not rookie of the Year than shame on the NHL... Hughes is good but he is no cale...stats say everything if you want to disagree with me...

Thanks for the vid dude. Nice edit.

And now here we are 2021-2022 and the aves are 1-0 in the cup final.

This guys skill is comparable to a brian surgeon doing ballet while preforming surgery with a butter knife. He's the new face of hockey and watching him play is awesome.

12:18.... now that's offsides....lol

Landeskog's advice to all teams for winning the cup is "find yourself a Cale Makar"

I watched him at umass he is a god

the 1 dislike is probably a Quinn Hughes fan xD.

The goalies are just left clueless🤣

Last time I checked you can’t spell Calder without Cale!

Love the use of Denver Bronco legend, Ryan Harris in this video. Beyond that, yeah, how prophetic... Makar>Dahlin... it's not even close.

lol he's my physics teachers nephew

I was starting to think you weren't going to have Conor McGahey's call of "All Hail Cale."

Lane Hutson is the next one.

Kids gonna be the best d man since Erik karlsson. Maybe even better than hedman.

Eh, he might be able to crack and ahl teams 3rd pairing idk tho maybe not

he looks like a 5 year old and josi deserved the norris trophy wayyyy more then he did.

Yeah... he’s bad at hockey... 😑
