Did anyone else see mcdavid stand there like a statue on the last goal

[ZekeS]

I know it's not part of his NHL career, but the Golden Goal deserves a shout-out as the all-time greatest 'WOW' moment of Sid's career.

[jimmywilliams]

His whole career is a "Wow" moment.

[Olja]

McDavid disconnected his controller at 3:20

[jejsemin]

Every single one of these is a backhand goal. Greatest backhand of all time

[Jimmyfly]

out of all his goals, the one handed back hand was just a wow for me. it is so hard to do. to elevate the puck is tough enough, to go by a goalie like that.... damn.

[HockeyJunkie]

What a vicious backhand he has though.. Also Pierre Mcguire's giggle at the first one was hilarious!

[pandastroll]

just here to appreciate 87's backhand ability

[blap]

People forget that Crosby was doing McDavid type stuff early in his career too. Such a shame he had those injury and concussion problems in his prime

[deniseberube]

An incredible talent.Always enjoy watching him play.

[tmckain]

The strength and finesse of Lemieux. The accuracy and hockey i.q. of Gretzky. One of the best ever.

[pondababa]

Great list, there are many, but these are pretty solid choices. I love the one where he's on his knees and bats it out of mid air whipping by the side of the net. And the Golden Goal.
That Montreal shootout goal is just goosebumps every time too. So incredible. CONGRATS SID!

[kennywills]

Everyone loved the one 2 weeks ago when Sid gave his stick to a defensivemen then quickly skated by the bench and received a handoff stick and immediately scored after that.

One of the best players of all time WOW

[peterritchie]

Yep, wow for ever goal shown.
But if you were in Vancouver at the olympics when his goal lifted our massive country a mile off the surface of the earth you’d know what Wow really means.

[pbure]

Golden goal was my fav moment by far. What a legend

[TerrysTwigReviews]

Absolute legend. Another great Canadian hockey player!

[ramirer]

In 10 years you will see people post "But he couldn't do that in today's NHL because players are stronger and faster...."

[rascalnicough]

I've seen each of these clips a million times ...




... and I'll watch them all a million times more.

Enjoyed the highlights but would’ve loved to see dates/contexts to know when each moment was in his career.
