00:02 - The NHL skills competition was won by Connor McDavid

00:07 because of course it was.

00:09 And unlike a lot of skill competitions, actually,

00:13 this thing was like hard, like seriously hard.

00:16 Like it was like a marathon of events that went on and on

00:19 from one event to another.

00:22 And I think, I swear, like people,

00:25 a lot of people dismiss this stuff and like,

00:27 "Oh, I don't watch this stuff."

00:28 But to me watching this tonight made me realize

00:32 just how damn good these dudes actually are.

00:35 Like the modern player.

00:37 I love Guy Lafleur to death,

00:38 but Guy like would have fallen in the corner

00:41 and like he would have been like,

00:42 he would have snapped his stick and said,

00:44 "This is stupid.

00:45 I'm not doing this stupid drill anymore.

00:47 And I did this and I did them, it's too much."

00:49 He'd be like, "I take a slap shot and I score,

00:51 but I'm not doing all of this."

00:53 Like they had like a hand one.

00:56 The pucks were like this far apart.

00:58 - I know.

01:00 - Like Kucharov's one of the greatest hockey players

01:02 in the world.

01:03 Dude, like he hit the pucks like right away.

01:06 He was like eliminated.

01:08 Elias Pedersen is awesome.

01:10 He did so well.

01:11 He went through it and then he crashed at the end of it.

01:15 He fell.

01:16 Like it sort of was like, man, this is hard.

01:20 And there was that dude, Connor McDavid,

01:22 that was just good at everything.

01:24 Like every single one of them was like,

01:25 bang, boom, bang, bang, perfect.

01:28 I had Barzel, fastest skater.

01:30 I lost out by like a millisecond to McDavid.

01:33 I had Pasternak to win.

01:36 He won, it got overruled,

01:37 as I know a lot of you know that follow me on Twitter.

01:40 But listen, we did give you the plus 600

01:42 for Connor McDavid to win the accuracy shooting.

01:47 We cashed that.

01:49 So you know what?

01:50 We ended up getting our money back because of the plus 600,

01:53 but I got robbed of a plus 500.
