Steve Yzerman || "The Captain" ᴴᴰ || 1983 - 2006 Career Highlights 

The fact that this guy isn't mentioned a lot among the all-time greats is beyond me. He has the most points total in a season not named Gretzky or Lemieux and gave that offense up to be a more complete player in order to win and put the team first. And if that doesn't scream leadership I dunno what does.

Truly one of the best leaders I’ve ever seen in sport. Converted from a pure scorer to one of the best two way players of all time in order to get his team over the top.

For a relatively small guy (at least by NHL standards), nobody, in my opinion, in the game has ever shown so much heart, determination & just unrelenting skill as Stevie Y. He's not only my favourite hockey player, but also my favourite athlete. He was elegant with the puck when needed, could take/give a check & had zero issues with dropping to block a shot. He was the embodiment of leadership, if you ask me.

As a kid from Detroit in the 80’s it was all about Kirk Gibson, Isiah Thomas, Barry Sanders and the Captain Mr Yzerman!!

Greatest Captain in NHL history. It's a shame this video is only 5 mins long. It IS great, though!

STEVIE IS COMING HOME!!!!!! And on the 19th of April, 2019......#19 came home

I'm a Sharks fan, but seeing Yzerman play was always a joy no matter if he scored against us. He was overall a great player who I looked up to as a kid, great leader and always made me happy to see him play.

Thank you to the creator who compiled this content. Truly one of the most remarkable players of all time, and often very underrated and under appreciated. I’ve been a huge fan of Yzerman since early-mid 90’s, a time when all my friends thought I was crazy to think they’d win a cup. Watching him lead the team to victory in 97 was for me the most I ever enjoyed watching hockey. When Steve retired I more or less stopped following hockey. Now watching McDavid play I see a lot of the same fire and determination. McDavid is a hybrid of Gretzky and Yzerman and is without a doubt the future of the NHL. Anyway, thank you so much for spending the time to create this video, you allowed me to time travel back to my childhood.

What beautiful skating he had, looks very similar to Forsberg. Great short strides, fantastic turns and good lateral movement. Always a heads up player aswell. The goat

Stevie Y is my favorite player ever ❤

There are many men who have earned wearing the C, but only one is known as "The Captain." Yzerman was the toughest, hardest playing guy on the ice I ever got to watch. He gave everything he had, every night. He was the embodiment of what it means to be a hockey player. From all of us who had the privilege to watch you play, thank you, Mr Yzerman, for everything.

i’ve always thought he was one of the coolest dudes in hockey lol

In my (probably biased opinion) the best captain and is easily in my top 10 best players in the history. This man had it all, he had pure skills, speed, strength, a great shoot and pass, creativity, top notch leadshipskills, heart, determination and he had that rare ability of making other players around him better. Yzerman is also very well respected in the hockey community for his humble, professional and calm nature. There will forever only be one number 19 in my heart, truly one of the absolute biggest names that have ever graced this wonderful sport. *Steve Yzerman aKa The Captain*

My all time favorite.

Lidstrom, Yzerman, Fedorov, Shanahan.. The list of names is long.. The good old days.

What a time to be alive, half of these goalies didn’t even see the puck until he’s skating away. I was born in 91 and watched a lot of games as a kid with my father, it was a golden era for about twenty years but I see us coming back to that soon with him in charge

Iconic. Legendary. Captain. Stevie Y. Detroit Red Wing. Great it was growing up being able to see the Wings often 🤘

I remember watching so many of these games on tv. Saw that armpit shot live and all these years later I still can’t believe it

Legendary Yzerman

Yup . He was a pure gamer . He worked his ass off

Was my favorite hockey player growing up and not from Detroit. Always wore his number as a kid playing and only got Yzerman blades. Anyone who wants to be great needs to take time to learn how we played and lead teams.

65 goals 90 assists 155 points in the 88-89 season 3rd best only lemieux and gretzky had higher point totals for a season fun fact

Thank fuck for the Captain! Detroit will Never Die!

I've always liked him above everybody else. 165 point in season

My all time fav NHL player. I miss the 80s and 90s NHL. That was my childhood and that golden era of the NHL will forever live in my heart. I remember every goal, every assist and every game.

Love how you paired it with nemo.

The ultimate LEADER

Absolutely deadly in the slot

Love the entire aesthetic of this video, everything about it just pumps me up.

Those passes while he on floor are insane

What a great video of Stevie Y

He was born Canadian but Detroit will never let him go!

Watching this really gives you memories of when Red Wings were GODLIKE on the ice. I wars born 2005 so i dig not get to see when Yzerman slayed on the ice. I sweat that one day Red Wings Will get a new GOD on the ice. The latest one was datsyk. They really need a new one.

My favorit player the all time.

Yzerman single-handedly turned the Detroit dead wings back into the Detroit Red Wings

We miss you Stevie!

The Captain.

He is the king.

That St Louis goal…. Yuuuuuup

Great captain. Great player

Great job!

Fantastic work Thx hoss

СУПЕР Хоккеист ,несмотря на то что Вечный Капитан моих Врагов !

Great Player!!

STEVIE Y

Steve Yzerman and Luke Skywalker were my heros.

What a legend!

A true leader. In my opinion best captain ever in the NHL.

my captain

The Captain did it all

One of my all time faves! His ONLY negative is that he can be a little babyish at home with big guys like Kocur, Probie, and McCarty protecting him. The game he went after Dan Keczmer was silly. Sure Keczmer caught him but it was CLEAN. Stevie just had his head down ....

3:10 is without a doubt the most important goal in Red Wings franchise history.

Loved his playing. I used his Louisville TPS stick , it had a long blade and a curve right at the heel

If it wasn’t for that major surgery on his knee.. he would be top 5 or 4 scorer! He’s a fucking gamer... the Captain of all sports!!

That is why 💋❤Yes he is best of all time.

Steve is the reason Wayne Gretzky didn't go to the wings Gretzkys dad told him they already have a Steve Yzerman

Music is 🔥

so happy he's back in Detroit

Stevy Y is the best all time imo

🐐👑

The dude was a fucking warrior for the wings and the entire city of detroit shit mise well add the entire state also... What a bad ass he was

TIGER 🐅 84, BAD OYZ PISTONZ 89 AND 90 ,HE OWED US ONE AND TO LEAD THOSE SUPER STARZ UNQUESTIONED AND DELIVERED OUR GRETZKY WELL DONE ...BATMANZ 1GOD

Love how this video have Ghost Love Score from nightwish playing. Lol. So fitting!!! Actually, it's nemo lol

I love Steve Yzerman quiet captain and a great leader, very similar to Joe Sakic.

sidney crosby sent me here

The Captain...#LGRW

Nightwish👍

i wish there were more of his passing

Stevie Y? Cause he could!!!

Yzerman had 87 points his rookie year.

2:13 god damn

2:07 #19 for flyers just gave up before he even crossed the blue line.

The one player that I’d want too meet 🏒

OUR GRETZKY HOCKEY 🏒 TOWN...BATMANZ 1GOD

They need to make a highlight video with the P.Diddy song, "I'm coming home"

Can’t believe they almost traded him for Alexis Yashin. One of greatest ever

Maybe Datsyuk got his moves off Stevie Y in practice!! I can’t believe he was on the trading block in1994-95???!!!!! For Yashin @ that!!

Hockey is a wack sport

Top 3 , you know the other 2 , Canadian kids….

um hockey
