 Alright you lot, what is up? Welcome back to another Ice Hockey video. Today I'm coming to you as a rugby player as you can see by the title and we're reacting to a player that's been recommended to me many many times. It's the one name that I can actually remember. And look I'm not being funny here guys but I've just thought, I've just watched a whole heap of highlights on Conor McDavid and I didn't see one black player. What the hell? You guys know I'm not racist. I've certainly put my foot in it many times in the past on this channel and I've been called out for it. But today I'm gonna say that and I'm gonna say that genuinely. I did not see one black player on the fucking ice. So I guess you know subconsciously that's going to be something I'm looking for. It was kind of like the opposite when I first went into football you know and I made those calls obviously there's a shitload of white players in the league and obviously there's probably gonna be a shitload of black players in the NHL but I didn't see any. So anyways guys today's video is about Conor McDavid. The first thing we're gonna do is look up Conor McDavid because I didn't do that in the previous videos and you guys are probably annoyed. Now holy shit oh my god he's 22. He's only just started. Selected first overall by the Oilers in the 2015 NHL entry draft. He's won the Art Ross trophy twice as the leading scorer in the league. The Hart Memorial trophy given to the player judged most valuable to his team in 2017 and led the Ted Lindsay Award twice as the best player voted by other NHL players. Oh my lord that is why you guys wanted me to look at him. That's insane. Six foot one he's my height. Oh place for the Oilers. Look at him. Look at him. I did not think he was 22. This is insane. He came into the league in 2015. He must have been like 18. Crazy. Crazy. Okay well I don't know anything about the draft. I don't know anything about college ice hockey actually. I've got yeah no idea but he's from Canada. McDavid grew up in the Toronto area and played hockey there and was granted exceptional player status by Hockey Canada which allowed him to play Major Junior one year early. Major Junior is Junior Hockey is a level of competitive ice hockey. Generally for players between 16 and 21. Junior Hockey Leagues in the United States and Canada are considered amateur and operate within regions of each country. He thus joined the Airy Otters of Ontario Hockey League and spent three years with the Otters before the Oilers selected him in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft and I bet they're glad they did. Internationally he played for the Canadian National Junior Team at one World Under 18 Championships, two World Junior Championships and for the Senior Team at one World Championship winning one gold at entry level. Career statistics okay from the NHL. We won't worry about the oh man maybe we should. Anyway total of 287 games. Oh no this is NHL sorry NHL totals 287 games 128 goals is that attempts oh no assists and an assists can be attributed up to two players anyone who touched it in any other way which enabled the goal yeah okay so he's not only a goal machine but he's an assist machine and we saw that actually because there's there's been a couple of times where he could have smacked it in himself but he's faked the goalie all in the matter of a split second past it to his teammate and and his teammates slapped it in so okay NHL record 287 games which I assume is they play 82 games in a year that's like that's like the NBA isn't it that's insane 287 games 128 goals 244 assists 372 points and a penalty is when you go in the penalty box so he's had 90 penalties and I assume 372 is 244 plus 128 so they score an assist as being just as important as a goal and he's got a total of 372 points what does it mean if it's in black what does it mean if it's in bold what does it mean bold indicates lead league okay 2016 to 17 and 17 to 18 he led the league in points which is a total of goals and assists that's interesting that's really interesting huh okay well stats 6 foot 1 probably about 200 pounds center means he's all over the court what a legend I did not expect him to be that young whatsoever no chance but what we're gonna do we're gonna do we're gonna look at his career highlights up to December 23rd 2017 which is not that long really see I was looking at these videos thinking holy shit he must have been in the league since like 2010 but no not at all areas the man 18 hey look at him oh mate he's just like yeah he's just been killing it for three years in the in the junior league and I mean this is it much of a step up for him of course it is gotta be he just bamboozles defenders doesn't air not only bamboozles defenders he's got the speed to see there you go don't worry about a goal that's an assist that's a point I wanted to say something right I want this is a good song actually I quite like this I wanted to say something bang off the right it's about as close to a bang off the right as you can get straight up just one step and past great song choice it's making me excited because tomorrow I head to New Zealand and on the 4th of January there's a music festival and I'm gonna be buzzing man so this this beat this drop is just getting me into it man I fuck I can't wait haven't been to a music festival in like over two years stops on a dime turned on a dime can they not stop that they must think he's got glue on a stick or something that's a sick uniform by the way it's like the bills bills versus the Steelers that's what you want to see I haven't seen any of that yet that's the other that's the other fun part of it isn't it just put it through his own legs there no just just on the inside another assist yeah don't yeah just give it to mcdave it seriously just let him go he's like a steam train up that rink just incredible speed and look not only that but he gets to the goal he literally gets inside that goal circle and then starts trying to deke out this this these goalies it's it's like you've got no space to work in whatsoever but once he's so so good at it he knows that if he does fake that goalie and he gets him to bite he's got the skill and he's got the the the agility to stop on a dime bring it background and flick it back in behind the goalie all in the space of a split second and within a few feet and that's incredible the Oilers Edmonton Oilers no that's next level man I'm a David he's got the pace this is a fantastic song choice man I'm loving it oh that's straight-up that's fucking shivers shivers down the spine that's one-on-one if you ever did see it fucking bounce bounce shot look at that wonder if there's many concussions in this game that's too good that is too fucking good and what a view watch this man what a view one two three four five six seven it's the final the final big deke to to really fake that goalie and then it's around the outside baby far out man well I really really enjoyed that and I still cannot believe he's only been in the league for four years that's incredible what do we have to come only God knows okay so that was Conor McDavid that was well my third look at Conor McDavid we've kind of we've kind of gone in in that sort of fashion lately I sort of pick a player doesn't matter what sport and I sort of just just watch as much as I need to you know to really get the gist of what's going on so that's what we've done with McDavid any hockey fans out there I'm sure you're probably watching this thinking oh there's other players that are just as good and you'll probably want me to react to them and and by all means hit me up in the comment section below but this is the name that's come up the most and I can see why so with all that being said guys I hope you've had a fantastic Christmas and New Year I don't know when you're gonna see this video but the date here guys just to let you know is December the 28th 2019 so let's all have a fantastic 2020 and I'll see you back here shortly to watch some more Conor McDavid
