I’ve been watching since 06 & I must say, Mcdavid brings an element to the game that no other player brings. They talk about his speed, but his agility is out of this world. He has very high Iq even when in his rookie year. I’m can see him getting 5 rings.

​@spectralflop823 with what team😂 certainly the oilers won't be getting 5 rings anytime soon lmao

@@cashvolpe4775 why not? On paper that team is literally The Most stacked team in the nhl. It’s literally an all star team, I can see them doing what Stl did in 2019 & winning it all. That’ll give ‘em more confidence to do a back to back cup run

​@@cashvolpe4775cups are irrelevant when talking about how good a player is. Pat Maroon has more cups than some hall of famers, are you saying fat pat is that good? Get fkn real. Harts and Ted Lindsays speak more to how talented someone is.

Only watching hockey since early 90s. When I watched Jagr, Sakic, Bure, Foresberg, Datsyuk, I was so impressed at their ability to score pts. McDavid is the only player I've seen when they have a 2 pt night, i think its a bad night. He's so good it feels like he should have 5-7 pts a night. When he only achieves what other greats accomplish, I'm disappointed. I'm spoiled.

I’ve seen peewee hockey players at local pond who are better than him. I’m pretty sure the U8 Moscow C team could beat the oilers.

totally agree with Orr a close second

Definitely a generational talent! Hopefully he wins a cup.

@@gordonpepper1400mario is 1

Meh, Crosby is every single bit as talented.. not as fast no but he's a winner so what would u want out of your captain?

McDavid won his 5 Art Ross by an average of 14 points each. Jagr won his 5 by an average of 7 points. Espo won his 5 by an average of 19 points. Howe won his 6 by an average of 14 points. Mario won his 6 by an average of 16 points. Wayne won his 10 Art Ross trophies by an average of 52 points. I think it's obvious.

Glad you like it! I have a bunch more on the way :D

Sid is the wizard dont get ahead of your self buddy😮‍💨

He ain’t that good buddy overrated ngl… ppl acting like he’s a god, never gonna break any big records. Even franchise records might not be broken but I don’t think he’s gonna stay with oilers

@@The_Earbo who gives a fuck if he breaks NHL records. They were almost all made when the average score was 8-6 😂

Think about Mario lemieux too..

​@@dana102083 tf does he have to do with this comment lmao

He was only on pace to score 87 points in his rookie season if he played a full 82 game schedule so it's very unlikely. He played 45 games at 1.066 ppg. He would have needed to play the remaining 37 games at 1.405 ppg which he obviously didn't have in him that season going by the games he did play.

@dannycarlow8204 there is no way to know he wouldnt have picked up the pace he came back from an injury of course his points werent going to be up there.

@@MrCanadianhero I said it was very unlikely and no, there is no way to know but there is no evidence to think it may have happened. All we know is that before he was injured he played 13 games at .923 ppg and played 32 games after his injury at 1.125 ppg. As I said, he needed to play the other 37 games at 1.405 ppg. His best six game stretch of the season was his first six games back from injury where he scored 12 points, then he scored 5 points in the next 8 games. He scored 3 points in the last 4 games before injury, and he scored 3 points in his last 4 games of the season. All I'm saying is there is no evidence that says we would have scored 100 points so it is very unlikely to have happened. I'm just going by the reality of what actually happened.

So true!

Do you see him sticking with the oilers when hes an unrestrictred free agent? Or do you think he will end up with a different team

@@TheHockeyVault the way the oilers brought in Jackson May keep him in Oiler silks for another 5-7 years. If they can win the cup this year or next he definitely won’t be going anywhere..

@@forfuxakes6814 Definitely, but if they cant, Im afraid Canada might lose another star player ahaha

Hard to compare different eras. Don't think he will touch goat status until he wins a cup though. It will be interesting to see if he stays with the Oilers when he becomes an unrestricted free agenet

@@TheHockeyVault Thing is I just looked at scoring rate adjusted for ice time and era. Also you could adjust if for cap hit aswell. Just imagine McDavid having a coffee type player like Eric Karlsson on D.

22 mins a game doesn’t seem like a lot I don’t watch nhl is that the average now for a star player what’s the total time for a match ?

@@JOK3RC4RDx Because of the insane speed nowadays with no red line off side. Players just take explosive short shifts. Back in the 80's 2 min was common because of the slow tempo of the game. Also in the middle of the 80's the trend towards shorter shift started to occur with the "short shift game" 1 minute shifts and less began to trend around the league. Go further back than that and they didnt even have 4 lines. 3 were the standard. Everything nowadays is speed and it is the fastest the game has ever been and McDavid represents the new game perfectly. NHL is not what it used to be. Nobody not even Gretzky or Lemieux can come from the 80's and expect to have 30 minutes per game.

@@JOK3RC4RDx total time is 60 min. 22 is a lot. 20 min is most common for star players.

Thanks, man, appreciate it! Sometimes I miss things when I review everything ahah, trying to improve with every video :D

yeah yeah. he doesnt have the points, goals or assists, or even silverware of the greats but the way he plays the game and sees the ice is second to none

He's definetely changed the way the game is played, thats for sure. Excited to if he will get a cup with the oilers or leave to another franchise when he becomes an unrestricted free agent in the 2026 season

Hard to compare different eras. I think you can say he has the potential to be the goat of the modern era but ill let gretzky maintain hes goat status. Although, if you stuck Mcdavid back in the 90's, oh my.

I think you have things reversed. The game today is so much easier for the top players. The rules help them so much now. Even though the game is faster now, it would actually be easier for Wayne and Mario today than when they played because they would also be faster than they were plus have the advantages of the different rules. No matter if they scored more, less or equal, the game would be easier for them today. They played in the roughest era. Today it's just pussy hockey compared to back then.

@@dannycarlow8204 lol

@@m.f.1646 Then by all means explain with some facts if you dispute what I said. Good luck with that.

@@dannycarlow8204 thanks for the laugh

No, my goats could skate better than him. He is okay.

Thank you for the feedback, after watching it again. I agree, I'll eliminate that moving forward. Thank you for the constructive criticism ❤

Nope

Do you think McDavid is leaving the Oilers once he's an unrestricted free agent in 2026? I would imagine money will be the ultimate deciding factor, but I can see him ending up in the states

@TheHockeyVault i think it will depend how these next to seasons go. But i also think he has built a life here and won't just want to move it. But only time will tell. (Seeing him in anything but oiler orange and blue would be weird)

Lol. Canadian fans always deflect to some “it’s rigged against Canada!” nonsense despite the fact that single teams have been created and won 3 cups between now and the most recent Canadian victory. That’s not rigging, that’s Canadian teams just being… idk, not champions.

He's in Bro

Bedard ain’t on his level bro

Exceptionally good

I'll buy you a stick if you buy me a stick

@@TheHockeyVaultDidn’t specify just buy him a stick of Deodorant 😂

I have some gum on the way

Tell me you don’t comprehend advance stats without telling me you don’t comprehend advanced stats lol…the puck stays out of the net more when McDavid is on the ice and it’s a result of HIM, full stop. He’s the best player in the NHL today period, no need for the backhanded comment because you’re a leaf fan and he’s not playing for your team.

@@barstar888 The puck stays out of the net because McBaby's team has the puck. Connor McWhiner is a crappy defender...as is Drai.

@alfernken that's a common misconception he's actually only 6'1"

A generational talent

Offensively best? You can make a good argument. All-around? No.

@@VarjoPira I would agree with this statement

@@TheHockeyVaultagree all you want, but it’s obvious you don’t know hockey. You channel is pedestrian at best but good luck.

@@vinceschryver5676 Been a fan forever growing up ahaha. If you could provide constructive criticism, I would be happy to take it to apply to future videos! All the best :)

You see him leaving in 2026?

Yeah current market is way tougher to get into and be at top of the pack. I've watched Mario, Gretzky and mcdavid and those round out top 3..but I'm not crazy enough to think you can actually compare them when it's impossible. All we can agree on is Mario's career was cut short.

@@dana102083 More difficult today? Imagine for a moment Gretzky with modern training methods and equipment. In hockey without hooking, without red lines and in 3 vs 3 overtime. Insane!

@@maitrehg its easier to read the game when its slow. Gretzky and Lemieux also had much more time on the ice because the game was not as intense as today. How can you even compare hockey IQ of entire different sports?

​@@maitrehgya but no one else had modern training back then either. And look at the goaltending back then 😅

*Infinitely superior? 🙄 The irony of telling ppl they don't understand hockey IQ while saying McDavid doesn't have it...Have you ever even seen him play? He's 2 steps ahead of everyone on the ice

It’s a team game, you can’t win the cup alone. His skills and numbers speak for themselves. Who the hell have you seen doing the shit he’s been doing 😅

99.99% of people who actually know hockey would disagree with you including most of the current players in the NHL who for some reason keep voting him as the best in the game.
