Thank u finally someone else feels the same in macdaivd. I'm in Canada so basically everyone saying he can walk on water, he's won nothing, individual trophies are just pissing contest. It's the cup that matter. Crobsy up 3 to zip who the better?

I told my friend that the "McDavid Hockey King" stuff is exactly why I want the Oilers to get dumpstered in the finals.

Sometimes not responding is the best response.

All in with you DK. I'll stick with Sid. the goat is here. Great show Dk

The NHL and hockey media are falling over themselves waiting for the chance to crown McJesus the GOAT. If he wins one Cup, Sid will never be spoken of again. I’m all in for the Cats in this series.

Lol that's not true everyone knows sid is the best and he was the fastest to do it

Poor Jagr. Dude is one of the best to play the game. Eeevvveeerrrr lol

When he got drafted the Erie otters won the cup the following year without him which is wild

Good morning DK have a safe day!

They can try and push mcdavid as much as they want. Guy has absolutely no personality and would be a marketing nightmare.

Sorry but does Sid have a great personality in front of the camera? Nope. None of these guys do which is a big reason the NHL can’t market these guys like the NBa and nfl does.

@@scottconrad4719 mcdavid looks like a person who is about to snap and go postal. Guy seriously has the look of a serial killer.

This reminds me of the Kobe-LeBron debate in basketball. Statistically, LeBron always will pop more than Kobe. Sid like Kobe won early, then won again 7 years later to cement his legacy. McDavid like LeBron is taking a while to (possibly) win his first. I’m a Pens fan and love Sid, I do think the stats, MVPs, awards do and are going to favor McDavid. I don’t think McDavid can pass Sid without lifting the Cup. Barring injury, it seems unlikely McDavid falls off big after this year. I do wonder how a thinner framed guy built on speed will age compared to the sturdy Sid build. Time will tell.

Bob Stauffer was part of a convo that was about 97 being sooo good , he should be given the ability to overturn the refs calls on the ice , that’s where they’re at up there with him …. Beyond both silly & disrespectful ….I smell Florida Flames karma !!

It seems it is the thing of our time, maybe of all different times. Recency bias. We just take the shiny new guy and compare him to all the greats as if that new shiny guy is shinier than the ones before. Completely forgetting who even 5 years ago or 10 years ago was talked about the same way. Happens a lot in basketball, but McDavid is great, he will likely go down as the second top scorer of all time behind Gretzky and second in individual awards behind Gretzky....but Sid is different kind of good. There is nothing he doesn't do well on the ice, and some things he does exceptionally well. I think McDavid will be at the end of his career and people won't even talk about Sid, and they will talk about him as being on mt Rushmore...just what seems to happen....but Sid to me is a special player that has done everything expected of him....unfortunately we missed his prime...when he averaged points the way McDavid does today with the exception that there was no one else doing the same, at least today Kucherov, MacKinnon are doing some similar numbers. Sid during those prime years was head and shoulders ahead....that 2011 season was 15 pts clear of second place half way through the season in points...on track to be 30 or so points ahead by seasons end before the head injury...two years later his ppg was even better,

I 100% agree. with the sports medicine we see today, McDavid might play until his mid 40's. he's definitely gonna be second in scoring but like gretzky he's playing in an era that's so much easier to score points in when compared to sid. still McDavid is an absolute force, I enjoy watching him every chance I get

@@RowanDank The league average team scoring rate for McDavid's career compared to Sid's career is about a 8% disparity. It's not as significant as Pens fans will have you believe. People don't know what they're talking about when they bring up eras. They don't have the numbers. They just guess based on the league leaders, which is a silly and lazy way to go about it. What matters is the median, not the 1 percentiles. Do you know what the difference is in McDavid's playoff scoring compared to Sid's? 29% better rate. Regular season? 17.5% better rate. The eras excuse doesn't avail. He's getting owned. I say this is a Pens fan. Sid wasn't a great all-rounder to start off his career either. He developed his defensive game several years in. And a newsflash for people: McDavid ranked 89th percentile in ES defense in 2023-24. If they think he offers nothing besides points, they are completely clueless. He was +35 this year for a reason. There was already steady improvement the prior 2 years in that area as well. But I still hear people talk like he's Patrick Kane on the backcheck.

@JohnSmith-jb2jf I get what your saying about points, I think he is the 3rd best point scorer of all time. I didn't know about the numbers behind it; I can't think of a reason why that is the case, I'm guessing there is a bigger disparity in skill level from the best and worse players than in the 2000's not to mention goaltending is better today. the game has also changed in a way that caters to McDavids gifts, his speed is the last thing the defense wants to see when the oilers are trying to break out of their zone and teams lean towards dmen who generate offense instead of pure lockdowns like Lindstrom, and Dion. I'm taking nothing away from McDavid, he's a hard worker and deserves everything he's got. however where I will push back is McDavids defensive abilities. defense in hockey is very hard to quantify, the advanced analytics can be skewed because how the data is gathered. I rely more on the eye test and when I see McDavid play I see a hard forechecker, he's so good on the forecheck due to his speed and effort its literally so much fun to watch, but in the Defensive zone he's lazy, nothing compared to Sid. he blows his assignments at times, and it seems he's more focused on the break out than playing hard defense in his own zone. tbh, his defense in his zone is mid fr. yes I agree his defense has improved and yes I agree sids defense wasn't elite his first few years in the league, but comparing the 2 in their own zones is like apples and oranges. on the rare occasion when McDavid isn't scoring he's not really making a big impact on the game either way.

Only fair comparison of the greats is by position. Best left wing, etc. Sid is top three center. Period.

Love that analysis. "Most talented player ever!!!" The Crosby stats are insane. I could see him being number 4 all time. McDavid has not even caught jagr, who is in the top 10. Enough to this recency biased nonsense

🤘🤘

Does DK have something against Jagr? Barely acknowledged the jersey retirement, and nary a peep about him in this episode.

He does not. Covered more than half of his tenure in Pittsburgh. - Dejan

No doubt people with no context will replace Gordie Howe - MR> HOCKEY or Bobby Orr. And who would rather have Sydney Crosby or Connor McDavid?

The roles are reversed from the late 80s between Penguins fans and oilers fans. It was Penguins fans hyping up there up and coming Lemieux over Gretzky now it’s Oilers fans bragging about how McDavid better than Crosby.

No TNT in the finals.

Reaching Finals are achieved through teams. Sid has won a Cup before while getting 19 points in 24 games. How many does McDavid need this playoffs to win this Cup? 40+? And why did he reach the Finals in the first place? Skinner clutched it and Hyman, Drai, RNH and Bouchard went off. So is he a better player this year because they made it? Of course not. He's the same as he's ever been. The players around him have changed. Do not judge a player off team accomplishments in the NHL, especially if they're a Forward. They have less influence on outcomes than top D-men and goalies. Fact of the matter is, the guy's won 5 Art Rosses, 3 Harts and has a 30% better point rate in the playoffs than Sid. He's far from done too, at 27. They didn't lose because of him or Draisaitl in the playoffs. They lost because of management, coaching and chokejobs from others. We are witnessing one of the top flight greats here, and he deserves the respect of being acknowledged as such. People need to put their personal feelings aside and show some respect here. And yes, he's worth the hype. If he's not, then no active player is.
