McDavid taking Bedard for shot, game recognizes game.
By god these boys are so humble. Truly some of the greatest players to ever lace em up are in this current generation (no disrespect to the previous greats either, we wouldn't be here at all without them). These boys know how to show up both on and off the ice. This is really the first generation where players are not only expected to be seen on the ice but off it as well, and yet they consistently just show pure class and humility. They have character, passion, and a true love for the game, and it is apparent in each of them! So excited for the Games to get started and good luck boys!!
i was very interested to see McDavid choosing Bedard for best shot. Think he wanted to give him props in some way. Like a "you're time is coming & we know"
damn Wilson seems like such a douche holy crap
Lane Huston for the style
For style give me peak beard era Doughty or Burns, I would lean more towards Burns but both are great
The player wouldn't have any of Tom Wilson's qualities! Or Marchand or Hagel!
i don’t like Wilson, & i truly hate Bennett, but i love those maroons being on my country’s team 😂. It’s a difficult internal battle lol
Also – love the Bergy shout out!! Miss our beauty #37
harley is delightful
I see they spared no expense on that poster board.
Since when was Sakic number 91?
Nobody put Scott Steven's for toughness?? NOBODY??
Heart. Yzerman. Without a doubt.
Picking yourself for clutch is so clutch.
Lemieux and Orr dont get much love, 2 of the 3 greatest players ever.
Love how the bedard highlight for "best shot" was a dangling goal
Wilson "at least against the Americans"…… good lord this guy is gonna single handily destroy them.
Nuge picking regina boy Chris Getzlaf is so awesome
Speed = McDavid
Hands = Lemieux
Style = Béliveau
IQ = Gretzky
Toughness = Richard
Heart = Crosby
Clutch = Sakic
Shot = MacInnis
Wilson is an idiot. Get him off the team
Getzlaf hands, yup!
You can’t use Russian parts to make a Canadian player.
And the ONLY correct answer for shot is Weber. There are something like 7 broken bones attributed to his shot.
Connor “maybe the speed one” McDavid
That was cool to watch
“Maybe the speed one” says the fastest player in the league 😂
It's a little crazy that this video is how I figured out that Ethan Frank is American. I just assumed he was from up north.
No Scott Steven’s for toughness eh. Or is he American?
Sid for all of them!
leafs fan… i think the roster is great but i really feel like Hyman should be on the team somehow
Knew McDavid was gonna say Bedard for shot after he said “world junior legend”. 😂 Can’t deny, Bedsy’s got a nasty release.
Speed – McJesus
Hands – Mario
Style (of play) – Guy Lafleur
IQ – Gretzky
Toughness – Scott Stevens
Heart – Wendel Clark
Clutch – Crosby
Shot – Al McInnis
tommy putting a russian on his team canada is legendary hahaha
Speed: McDavid Hands: Lemieux Style: Kariya or Gretzky IQ: Gretzky Toughness: Lindros Heart: Gilmour Clutch: Sakic Shot: Bobby and Brett Hull Leadership: Messier
McDavid is different. Love that he went numbers
Amazed Wilson could pick his knuckles off the ground to do this interview.
Surprised no Al Maclnnis for shot, shot the puck through the boards with a wooden stick during warm-ups lol
Hopkins opinions are 100% what I would pick
Just make Crosby
For hands I'd go with Ales Hemsky. After moving out to Vancouver I got to watch a lot of Oilers games and Hemsky had the hands of god and he was silky smooth the puck at all times. There hasn't been any as good since.
edit: oh wait, it's supposed to be canadians only. oh well hemsky is still my choice, lol
IQ- The great one
Style- Le démon blond
Speed- Mc Jesus
Toughness Iggy
Heart – Rocket Richard
Clutch- Sid the kid
Hands Mario le magnifique
Shot Al Mcinnis
Gotta consider Justin Williams for Clutch. Has t he record for most points in game sevens, tied for most game 7 goals with Glenn Anderson
This is our game
The vocal fry on some of these boys could rival valley girls
lol for the guys picking Weber for the shot category. As tough as NHL'rs are, to hear your peers say they would rather not attempt to block your shot says something lmaooooo.
Harley is so likeable
If alberta separates connor McDavid will not have a team to play for.
Canada already have the ultimate player. Evan Bouchard! ( says every other nation )
