You can tell in his follow through and his look over the shoulder it was on purpose. PC in the interview which is what he should do. Do we expect him to sayMcJesus is amazing but he obviously tried to shoot it on that play
Now this is an impressive saucer pass. No time, no look, one touch, over two sticks, bang on the tape:
anyone who has played ice hockey will tell you how difficult of a pass that was to make.
McDavid admitted it was an accident and he was trying to shoot it though
the Irony in this is that Lucic is the type of guy that would go in 5 on 1 and get a proper pass only to whiff on itMcDavid is the type of guy to go 1 on 5 and score an in between the goal legs in OT of game 7 of the stanley cup finals and say "I was actually trying to get it to Lucic, he probably could've done something better with it"
Or, "Yes it was a pass."You can tell in his follow through and his look over the shoulder it was on purpose. PC in the interview which is what he should do. Do we expect him to say
"Yeah, I meant to do that. The game goes so slow for me, it was not very difficult. Nice of Ty to finish for once though."
Great pass of course, but assuming this isn't a satirical post... The best two goals in hockey history have definitely not both been in the last two years. I can think of at least 10 I would consider better off the top of my head.

Nope. Apparently McDavid can only be condescending when telling the truth...."Yea it's something I've been working out in practice so it's nice that it translated to a game"

Driving to work without accidents is not hard to do. If it's not hard to make such a pass, we would see it more often than once every 20 years. Or do you mean icing the puck?It's not that hard to do.
Savard was soooo nasty at passing. A Oates style.

Generationally humble.
Only McJesus is good enough to pretend like he wanted to miss the shot and track a lost puck by turning his head.You can tell in his follow through and his look over the shoulder it was on purpose. PC in the interview which is what he should do. Do we expect him to say

Ok. Now land it on the tape, at NHL speed, in the playoffs, over NHL players, behind the extended goalline. Downplaying that pass... I don't know what to say. Want another example? Technically, baseball isn't that hard. It's very simple, actually. Throw the ball, hit it, run, catch and throw it. What's the big fuzz about MLB?This isn't trying to drive a Formula 1 car, it's flipping a puck down the rink in the direction of a teammate. A better example would be with basketball trying to sink a shot from half court. Easy enough to try, damn hard to do, but give a person enough shots and eventually they sink one. Or hell even just compare it to golf. Assuming the distance isn't a problem once in a while even the worst player can land a tee shot on the green.
The fundamental mechanic is easy, just the degree of accuracy is hard. So for the hockey play the difference here is that a Karlsson can probably regularly put that pass within a 1-foot radius of the sweet spot while a beer leaguer depending on skill level would be landing it more in a 5-10 foot radius - they'll miss most of the time but once in a while it will land. Like I'm not a good beer leaguer since I started as an adult but even still I've managed to make a shorter version of that play before, around blue line to blue line.
