Ballet on Ice: McDavid feat. Lyubushkin

If that was anyone else I'd be stoked.

I feel like because it's McDavid we've been plenty blessed with his insane skill and that's just a "hmm, nice" because we are that spoiled.

Might just be me.

And I mean that as a reaction rather than how nice that goal is.

He's having a strong outing against the team many consider the top contender for the Cup.

He had a rough stretch following the suspension but is starting to look like his old self again.

Filthy goal!

 

[Offtheboard412]

That looked like one of his goals he scored in junior. Pretty crazy to be able to do that to an NHL level defenseman.

Brandon Carlo trade hype GIF?

 

[Cup or Bust]

He has started to look like his normal self the last few games. A few other Oilers have too. The team has looked like they were sleepwalking the last 10 or so games.

 

[Matty Sundin]

haven’t seen much of this when before it was a common occurrence. He might be waking up now though.

Jesus Christ, Ilya got walked hard! Wow.

 

[Canadienna]

This an example of "ignore the puck, just play the body" going wrong lol.

I will take the Lybushkin goal heard ‘round the world.

Guy’s insane

Lyubushkin didn't even play that very poorly, that was just filthy.

 

[Frank the Tank]

He joins a bunch of Leafs defenseman and the entire Rangers and Columbus teams on McDavid's highlight reel. At least his team mate Heiskanen is on their with him.

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

Unreal. Vintage McDavid.

 

[karltonian]

man when you can turn any rush into a breakaway you are just blessed.

 

[snipes]

Unbelievable goal

 

[SpezDispenser]

Beauty

 

[Nogatco Rd]

threw him in the spin cycle

 

[CN8]

Thought someone was joking but I think the actual play there might be to just take the penalty and pull him down

 

[benfranklin]

"Yeah that was sick" was my reaction. Most guys end up in the corner with that poke. He has the speed to get it and get it under control in time.

 

[Vinegar Strokes]

It’s funny to me that Caufield gets a GOTY thread for a 3-3 goal where he deked an 18 YO forward and McDavid does this and it’s pretty much ho-hum, despite being far more worthy of GOTY.
