The celebration from both McDavid and Mike Smith makes me smile every time.
For just a moment, those two were ten years old and playing on the pond again. I love it.
Steve didn't even mention, Smith played that one handed. He dropped it from his glove and just launched it and said "Screw it, McDavid is down there somewhere." And McDavid coming back immediately pointing to him on the cely was gold.
They cut the repay just before you could see McDavid and Smith do mirror celebration.
@@windwalker5765 I feel like this is spot on and that just makes it even better.
Crosby getting his 1400th point in OT at home is the most Crosby thing ever
and in his 1100th game, ha. Just ticking off all the milestones.
@@paintingmonkey 1.27 Career PPG so far, keep going Sid
Man is an absolute goat, love 87
There's also that Gold Medal thing. That was pretty awesome.
I feel blessed to see Alex Ovechkin making history and breaking records.
As a lifelong Kings fan, I hate the Ducks. But I love watching Trevor Zegras play. He's great for the game. Anyone who says otherwise has the wrong idea about what hockey is, and should be.
He’s literally Patrick kane but young again
Hopefully next time he finds himself in a scrum he doesn't cry afterwards to the media
As a Sharks fan who's not a fan of both, I can also agree
Ovie just scored while I was watching this.
Can we get Jordan Staal setting a record for longest amount of time between two hat tricks?
Only 3 hat picks in 1085 games is also odd for a forward these days.
Does the record get an asterisk because he scored one in the 2012 playoffs?
Tbh that doesn't really seem so impressive.
@@jkliao6486 He still holds the record for the youngest player to ever score a hat trick and then he scored one as a third-line defensive forward.
@@rjhaney2614 Again, that doesn't change the fact that it's not very impressive.
So honored to have had the pleasure to watch Sid and Ovie for all these years and they did all this when the NHL wasn't the Wild Wild West like back in the 80s and 90s. Look forward to seeing both of these legends inducted the Hall together. Super hat pick, brother Dangle.
I was born in 1979, my earliest hockey memory is watching Montreal win the 86 Cup. I feel so lucky to have seen so many amazing NHL players & moment ever. 🤔Still never seen the Leaf's in the Finals thought. 😆
LOL
lol same here, and was born in 1968 :P
20:29 A Hat-Pick. The _Steve's Paddle-Save Emporium_ speciality. 20:32 A Dang-It.
18:07 Lmao the guy has both a Leafs and Habs Jersey. I remember watching the game and he'd change it if the opposing team scored. He made me laugh every time he did.
kaprisov breaking the wilds single season points record dude!!!
I didn't realize crosby and Ovechkin were so close in points. Wonder how many Crosby would have without all of the injuries
1,600 easily.
more for sure, but staying healthy is part of the game
That’s true, but some of those injuries couldn’t be helped/were terrible luck
Yeah, but the Penguins don't win so many games if Sid doesn't grind in the difficult areas. How many points did Ovi get by standing at the top of the circle, waiting for someone to hand him a shot?
@@stellaroj that’s a good point, but why is ovi always so open at these times, after years of his one timer goals I feel that he would be guarded a little more
Ty for giving credit to the devils . Hope next season with a healthy team and better goaltending we can raise some heads.
might get to see another Hischier highlight in next week's hat picks with his assist on Zetterlund's first NHL goal
I really thought the Devils were going to be a dangerous team after seeing what they did in the off season, honestly one of the biggest surprises of the year on how there season turned out right after the Islanders.
i only started watching hockey in 2005, so glad i got to see Alex & Sid from their beginnings Respect & Peace
Steve, Drew, Sportsnet... thank you for making such a great show that brightens up my day - even when its been an amazing one! I was just thinking it's wonderful to be a hockey fan right now with all the record breaking players and then all the amazing coverage I can see on the internet and not being beholden to what broadcast or cable tv decides to cover or air. Keep up the great work and long live hockey!
Too bad the refs suck
The Ovi - Sid debate is fun, but it's also really weird because those two are really not comparable. They play entirely different games on the ice. Ovi is Ovi and Sid is Sid, and neither plays like the other. Other than both being hockey players (and forwards, and captains), it feels like apples and oranges. I hate him on the ice obviously but I have a deep respect for Crosby's game (as a Caps fan if it wasn't clear). He has incredible skill and only a fool would think otherwise. His skill set is completely different than Ovi's though. It's a bit like comparing a defenseman to a goalie (to a lesser degree, naturally). There's never going to be a clear answer and I've resolved to just appreciating them both for what they do.
Caps fan here as well, I think it's pretty simple. Sid is the better overall hockey player, while Ovi is the better goalscorer. Both are absolutely electric to watch though.
No Kuemper standing on his head on a 4 on 3 Edmonton PP with McDavid and Draisaitl?
Thought you weren't gonna add the mike smith pass. Very glad u did.
Missed Podz no look pass to Bo, otherwise those were some nasty hatpicks
Kyrou and Faulk snubbed both had beautiful goals that they batted out of mid air
This and Schenn's GTG and Thomas' OT winner against Minny
14:03 Not only scored the go ahead goal, but also ran off at least half the clock in the 3rd in the process.
You put Josi braking the preds franchise record for single season points, but forgot Kaprizov do the same thing for Minnesota. He’s also gonna break the record for the most single season goals. Put some respect on Kirill the Thrill!
The animaniacs bit in the intro had me laughing. Easiest like you can get.
Mike Smith for assist of the year. Whatta absolute beauty.
Smith is such a great puck handling goaltender!
that smith play was the best moment so far this season and i am not even an oilers fan. was just beautiful
That announcer on the McDavid goal channeling his inner Rick Jeanneret “IN OOOOOOOOOOOVERRRRRTIIIIIIIIME!”
The goalie hugging mcdavid for the assist is so funny
Hell yes! Glad to see NJ Nico make it this week.
Thanks for hat pick Ovi and Sid! Amazing players.
I feel like that Brady Tkachuk bat out of the air goal should be in there, besides that I can’t disagree with any of the other picks
100% this. i get it, sens suck. but that goal deserves to be a hat pick.
hopefully it's just because they shot it at a weird time and will get to it next week? But i agree
I was at that Seattle vs Chicago game. My whole section was gasping and holding their head when Wennberg ran with that puck for a goal. My wife and I, after processing what just happened, we’re the only Kraken fans cheering with all dagger eyes on us. Great shut out game that night.
Ovi's so good he can pass to himself. I hope he got credited for both the goal & assist.
I hope he will get credited for being part of propagandamachine.
Hey i like to watch you Steve! Having fun listinning to your story from a Montréal fan😁
That Mike Smith assist is like .4 seconds away from being on Dang-Its this week.
I’m assuming just like Kuzy that Pens players are having trouble keeping track of all the pucks they are handed? Sid & Ovi still doing it at their ages is fantastic. Sid overcoming all the injuries and Ovi, well Russian Machine.
Ovechkin then Crosby get their 1400 point within a week apart! Incredible. I believe that they were drafted at the same time & Crosby even sat out for a year plus with concussions. Unbelievable feat!
I’m not sure if it made the cutoff for when it happened, but next week an honourable mention has to go to Chris Krieder, who SOMEHOW hit 50 goals in a year after never being able to crack 30😂
Brendan Burke with the call on both Ovi and Crosby's 1400 point. That's a hat pick!
I dunno, personally I think it's more impressive that it's done in the first 50 games, with a cold start. Seems to be a harder task to accomplish too, with guys at a higher skill level seem to have been the ones to accomplish the feat... Gretzky, Hull, Lemieux... There's also the excitement of what the player will do with the rest of the season after such a start and now that they have the ball rolling and line chemistry firing for the end of the season stretch. There's a reason a classic 50 in 50 is such a rare feat. Matthews run is still an impressive feat, but the list of guys who have also done it get much longer once you change it to be 50 goals in ANY 50 game stretch. Nobody is saying Matthews isn't as good as Charlie Simmer, Cam Neely or Alexander Mogilny. But it's not QUITE the same as the short list of guys who managed to get themselves and their line going right out of the gate, notching 50 goals by the 50th game of the season.
2005 😂! This was a good week for hat picks.
No love for Casey DeSmith's pad save against the Predators? He absolutely robbed Jeannot!
That was a pretty good animanics impression steve. Well done
I would still say that just for the story, Marc McLaughlin's first goal from two weeks ago deserves to be in a hat picks, but this week had a lot to cover.
So does Steve's booger from the Florida part make it into Dangits? I was so distracted I forget the hat pick
I was thinking that was the one pick he missed.
@@michaelrice2156 hahahahaha that's good man
Nothing about Kirill Kaprizov setting a new franchise record for the wild? So many records broken in this video, figured he might be included.
He might be in the next since he broke points and goals record
@@davidanders1687 guess not.
Glad you included the Mike Smith pass.
I honestly would’ve thought Producer Drew would’ve put Darcy Kuemper standing on his head in the OT against the Oilers
I was looking for DeSmith toe save in the second vs Islanders. He looked like Vasilevskiy doing a split while moving from right to left
Sam Bennett's goal at 9:43 was amazing
Brady Tkackuk goal against Winnipeg? Thought I'd see that here! April 10
Crosby's 1,400 goal was fiiiilthy good. What a play.
It's awesome how Ovy and Sid still tear it up...Also Ty Steve for your awesome content...u probably won't read anything I ever say but I can dream😀
How crazy is it that they started the same year and scored their 1400th point less than 2 weeks apart
I imagine Sids teammates go through the same thing Kuznetsov does being handed pucks almost every night and having to ask what this one is for! Legends.
If anything Travis going to be knowing for is the High light Goals! By I enjoy watching him !😯😭
The Ovechkin and Crosby milestones are pretty indicative of their entire careers. Ovechkin put in the work and Crosby was gifted it by a teammate, Dont @ me, dorks.
The fact that crosby and ovie both scored their 1400th point merely a week apart is a testament to the consistency of both these strapping young men
That Crosby steal was 100% clean (not just in the rulebook sense). Not a hit, but just enough unbalancing to get the steal. Silky smooth.
dear lord that mike smith pass was SICK
Was sitting 10 rows behind the net when matthews scored those goals in Dallas
If Ovechkin scores 50 this year, he ties Bossy and Gretzky for most 50 goal seasons.
Yes, I watch these weekly. But this week I’m watching specifically for the thumbnail of Trevor Zegras photoshopped into an old school caps jersey
Dahlin in the Bennent clip reminded me of dori from finding Nemo "Just keep swimming, just keep swimming"
Love the Animaniacs reference!
As a Blues fan I just love that Panger got to call both Ovi and Sid's 1400th points.
What about Jordan Staal becoming the record holder for most days between hat tricks? He had a hattie on April 10th and his last was 4898 days earlier. Crazy huh? Also I was at that game and didn't have a hat to throw onto the ice. Dang-it!
Low key, the ref that called off the TBay goal off of the Samsonov save deserves a hat pick, that was a really good call.
1. The tick tack toe play from the sens Habs game. 2. Brady Tkachuk batting the puck out of the air against the preds
That Smith feed to McDavid was sick. I don’t think I’ve seen that done before
Here in D.C. and STILL constantly surprised by the guy just killing it and killing it . Didn't Ovechkin beat Crosby to 1,000 points? Beat him to 500 goals by a few years? Beat him to 1400, as well.. Ovechkin is nearly at 780 goals..sitting at 3rd all-time in goals. Ovechkin as an individual; beat Sid to death with the softest pillow in the world. Crosby has had the better teams; which helped pave Sids amazing Playoff Career. He has a Career in the postseason, all in and of itself. It's impressive; absolutely. I've seen Sid be brilliant and it was fifteen feet down in front of me; at my first ever live NHL game. It's no question. What does Ovechkin do with those Playoff teams and runs that Sid has been able to lead?
Huh?!
In fairness, each player has a skill set, and Sid and Ovi are very different. Goals vs assists, power vs finesse, hitting vs skating. Also, Crosby is famously injury-prone. It's part of the game of course, but it's worth noting that he's been out a lot more than Ovi has. But yeah, Ovi is a machine.
Ovi also has not missed a whole lot of games due to injury the way Crosby has. He's a whole lot more durable. I admit this as a Caps fan: Where would Crosby be had he not missed so much time due to injuries?
@@VeggieTart Absolutely right. I was running that jn my head after I posted. It's not even close. Either way; can't take anything from Sid. My first live NHL game; he purposely scored Ovechkins signature one-t for a PPG at [ what was ] Verizon Center. It was Kuznetsovs NHL debut of all nights, too. How cool is th!t? Nobody knew who he was. Sid, though! We had great seats right on the corner; above the lower bowl. Crosby scored Ovis shot on the Capitals rink. It was pretty cool.
Steve’s Italian accent makes for a great Pesto impression.
Brendan Burke with A+ calls on both of the first 2 hat-picks, that's a hat-pick.
The Kraken having Tool as their goal Music is the awesome.
Ha I said the exact same thing about how it would be harder for Austin to do it now then at the start..51 in 50 baby wehooooo
you missed Kyle Palmieri's late goal against Carolina
As a Buffalo fan, I’m glad the Leafs have a great goal scorer. I’m also glad he doesn’t score on us very often. Tage Thompson is on his heels next season.
4 players had the puck in 6 seconds! That's a hat pick
Despite being a Vegas fan, Zegras is amazing to watch and is my favourite player to watch.
Love that Brendan is on the call for both the Crosby and Ovi goals
Wennberg's stick seems practically invisible at times during that goal
22:37 That guy is legit flipping them off
bruh
That Nico Hischier goal is top 10 of the season
Love the cellys
You missed Fleury assisting on an OT winner this week with a pass to the far blue line for Freddy geaudrea
Along with the milestones, Kirill Kaprisov became the wilds leading points and goals leader this week
On the 50 in 50 debate, it seems like semantics. It is technically 50 in 50, yes? Just not the first 50. Still an impressive pace, still worth noting. Maybe it's not in line with the NHL's criteria, but it sounds like their criteria is misleading if so
Is the phantom trip on Beauvillier that led to the Penguins’ game-tying goal a #dangit?
I mean, considering every time i hear someone talk about Norris votes they ALWAYS bring up Josi in the context of "no one talks about him enough" ....i feel like people are talking about him enough lol
happy easter
Zegras actually on a good team is a slam dunk for Calder he is unreal just wow 😱 this kid could be a point per game by next year easily.
You missed Josh Morrissey playing goalie against, I believe, Nathan MacKinnon who was going for the empty net.
Could’ve shown the other Matthews goal from that OT win in Dallas. One of the nastiest goals of the season
I'm 99% that even though the Canes would make it to the finals, they wouldn't appear in the NHL plays of the week. Feels weird man.
Imagine liking your job as much as the announcer for the Oilers
I remember back in 2017 when all of the hockey outlets said the same thing concerning the draft. Unlike 2013,15, and 16 their was no game changing talents that were available. New Jersey takes a chance on this kid named Nico from Switzerland first overall. LOOK AT THAT PLAY!! That makes Mcdavid jealous!!
Lots of love for Matthews setting some franchise records, and even Josi for his. But I'm surprised you haven't yet mentioned Jonathan Huberdeau breaking Florida's franchise record of 97 season points (now at 105). Or his record for MOST assists in a single season by a left wing (71, but now he's at 77) IN NHL HISTORY!!! The Panthers have recently passed their franchise records for most wins in a season (48, now at 52), most points (104, now at 110), and most goals in a season (300+). I know you're a Leafs fan, and of course you don't have time to acknowledge every NHL record, but not mentioning a single one of these is crazy! Loved the video though!
lets see a point from Matthews in the playoffs
Is it just me who goes back and watches all his old videos that I missed! Lol #MapleLeafs4ever
I love trevor zegeras' style of play. Very creative. It's funny cause he is so happy to score, like ovi and sid. Unlike Matthew's who acts like he is a god or something 🙄
Anyone else notice that at 22:40 people are flipping off the oilers? No just me?
I love how out of all announcers than call nhl games Brendan Burke got to call ovi’s and crosby’s 1400th points in the same week
Sid was on an absolute mission that game, two of the three goals and an assist on the other. Crosby's Really turned it on at the end of the season which is impressive considering no camp because of wrist surgery and missing games because of COVID and sickness.
Him and ovi are so close I think sid is going to play his ass off the rest of the season to pass him.
