This year’s ice hockey games are seemingly off compared to other years. Perhaps the lack of spirit in the games led to the eventual loss of viewership. Thus, the National Hockey League is trying its best to grab the attention of its audience in other ways. After Philadelphia Flyers’ mascot Gritty’s publicity stunts went viral, the league posted about Connor McDavid’s son. A recent video projected McDavid Junior playing and enjoying his time. The NHL fans wasted no time and commented on the adorable post.

As intended, the video successfully held the reaction from the viewers. Let’s dig deeper to know what the audience talked about.

Lately, the NHL posted a video

on their Facebook page and captioned it, “Unseen footage of Connor McDavid at the #NHLAllStar Accuracy Shooting competition. 
As the video proceeds, the boy, wearing an Oilers jersey, said “Let’s go”, and started playing with the stick. Evidently, he was absorbed in a hockey game and played with his small puck and stick. He successfully delivered all five shots he took. His not-so-active goalkeeper teddy amused the viewers the most. And they started talking about it commenting,

“I mean,,, I hate to be negative and point out the obvious,,, but the bear really sucks at goaltending”

“Very poor goalkeeping”

“That Teddy Bear goalie is a bum!”

“Poor bear took one off the beak.”

“Quick release, goalie didn’t even move!”

“Tappara goalie thats why 

Fans found the video to be so entertaining with the cuteness of “mini” McDavid and wrote –

“Actually more entertaining than the actual all star game”

“Too cute…hes got that Blocker Side Shelf down pat”

“Hes better than me at that age already !! lol”

“Aww. Next generations of hockey.”

“NHL star in the making!!”

A lot of comments came from the fans talking about their concerns about the TV set beside where Connor’s son was playing. They even praised the god-gifted talent he has following his father’s trail of innate affinity toward the sports from such a young age. The celebration after completing the goals was also the same as McDavid’s. Realizing this, the viewers hilariously penned,

“Love the celly!”

“He even did Connors celly at the end

“Sick celly”

“Would have loved to see one go off the TV”

“Me waiting for it to hit the TV”

“Ahhhh that screen is too close! Thank God he’s a good shot!”

“Brave parents putting it beside the tv

“Cute but would lose contest – all shots same corner, What about other three lol”
