Coming in from BC with my buddy for tonights game. This will be my first game at Rogers!
We are then taking our families to Vancouver on Saturday.
You're in for a treat.
I managed to get to town last year to catch McDavid in the new arena.
I've seen 3 athletes live that have absolutely blown me away.
I saw Michael Jordan live. He looks like CG. 5 people jumped for a ball at the same time same height, for some reason he clung to the air just a liiiiitle bit longer. He was just a little bit faster than a human should look.
Tony Hawk was the same (I used to work for him). Just strangely disobeyed the laws of physics, and human kinetics.
McDavid... for a lack of a better comparison looks like Neo IRL. It's almost like he's a cheat code in some video game. Its not just him who looks unnaturally fast. His stick handling looks strangely fast, and the puck on his stick seems to move with a different kind of gravity.
The TV really doesn't do it justice. When you see him live it's so outright ridiculous what he does.
