Reporter was referencing how Gretzky made the comparison himself, but he worded it terribly and the reaction is hilarious.

"I think this is just an awfully worded question. Interviewer is trying to ask McDavid, as someone who's been compared to Gretzky and won the Hart trophy, what he thinks of Hughes." - reddit

John 3- 14-21 14And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 15That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

Worked with a guy years ago who played county ball with Gretz and even back then they knew that he had near perfect 20/20 vision as well as an extended field of vision coupled with an idedic memory when it comes to situational awareness. Like he could look at a guy and then look away and know where that person would be 4-5 seconds in the future but it could be applied to everyone on the ice and the puck.

Jack Hughes is a great player, maybe one of the top three Hughes brothers, but all three together do not equal one Gretzky. No one comes close.

that was the point. there are just three. perhaps Quinn is the best. Luke certainly looks to have great potential. Jack may be the third best. or first. it takes 20 years to make a career. time will sort all that out and Gretzky will still be in a class of his own. remember, at 22 Gretzky had over 250 goals and 700 points.@@plumpydumpy-el5gl

Honestly, I don't think we'll ever see someone dominate Hockey like Gretzky did. Even if Ovi beats his goals scored record, he won't have nearly as many goals per game ratio. Gretzky is the GOAT and will be for a very very long time.

Lemieux will always be the “what if” player due to his absence because of cancer and injuries but the man did have a higher point/game ratio but would have probably began levelling out later if he’d play longer.

Mario actually did already level out towards the end of his career when he came back and Gretzky does have a higher point per game. Gretz has 1.92 points per game and mario has 1.88.

They met the Oilers 3rd period gas pedal and couldn't keep up. Once Quick was scored on, his shield wall fell apart. Great run for Quick though

Eck, I was wondering if you saw yesterday Caps/Bluejackets game ? It ended in such a wild way with Elvis Merzlikins bashing Tom Wilson's head, then Ovi scoring (finally!) and the whole Caps team chirping Elvis (I think you could see Strome screaming "fuck you elvis" on the broadcast). Anyway thought it could interest you if you haven't seen it ! Cheers !

OMG Connor Bedard Goal

I mean Jack Hughes is generational

Man, Eck really hates the Caps. Gotta think there's at least one other clip of Hughes out there this season

Comparing people to someone who had a similar build or 'toolkit' and similar effectiveness, sure... but comparing anyone to the greatest ever is just brain-dead.

No way Jose- Gretzky is the goat

I like Jack. I live in NJ and I watch the Devils 👹regualrly. Like you say he's fun to watch but there is NO comparison with any of the really great players past or present. Not yet.😀 He's young and still learning his craft. He's not had a 100 point season yet or won much of anything. Jack is also on the small side (5'10") and needs to put on some 15lbs of muscle in the next couple of years. He gets pushed around the ice a little too much for my liking. McDavid is a bigger man (6'1" 195lbs) that is stronger on the puck, noticably faster and frankly more skilled. Gretzky played in a different era with people around him that wouldn't let opposition players have a go at him without getting globbered. Gretzky had the shot and passing ability plus the speed. That's why he's called "the great one". Give Jack a few more years and see how he rounds out.

Hughes is not even a CURRENT top 10 froward

F

Don Bradman for cricket is the only other sport I can think of where one single athlete dominated so hard that there's zero argument or discussion over who the GOAT is apart from a few people being deliberately contrarian about it to start a discussion.

Eck my man this was a lazy video

why don't you talk about the Oilers beating your favorite team? hater.

I hate the comparison game between modern-day stars vs. old school stars. Half the players in the league were glorified beer leaguers back in Gretzky's day. He was great back then. Don't get me wrong... but put him, in his prime, against the players today and he would struggle to break the first line on even the weakest of nhl teams.

Didn’t look like McDavid was shocked at all…..

I'm so sick of this "Gretzky was the greatest"....one of the greatest, top five. Greatest scorer?...ok.
