8 UNBELIEVABLE STATS FROM THE NHL PLAYOFFS SO FAR

The BarDown Podcast is back and Corwin has some explaining to do when it comes to towels in the stands, because DZ strongly disagrees with his controversial opinion. The crew also brings a series of unbelievable stats from the start of the NHL playoffs. This video was filmed on Thursday, April 25, 2024 before the games of that night.

[@Letsgocanucks]

As a canucks fan who went to game 1 & 2, I did in fact scream for over 30 seconds regularly while waving my towel.

[@Letsgocanucks]

Yes my throat does hurt three days later 😂

[@JH-jw7pu]

The viewing party today was just as crazy! Lower bowl completely sold out so they opened a few upper bowl sections and those sold out too! Everyone was given playoff towels as well.

[@pasielski]

Dude the viewing party for game 3 was as loud as game 1.

Love the entire crew but Z is the glue, the straw that stirs the drink, the ladle that scoups the soup.

Agree. Couldn't show in the form of a like though. It's at 69. I'm sure you'll understand.

[@Bizbappo7171]

The towels are visual noise, and that matters too. The players see it, and it looks great on the broadcast

[@joshkass9710]

Here’s a good stat for y’all, the Rangers have scored 8 goals through the first two games vs the Caps. They have been scored by 8 different players

[@LARGO125]

Not bad, in 3 games the Oilers have 6 goals, scored by one player...

[@ZakingGaming]

Love to see Z back but maybe y’all could put Thomas back in the Zegras Zone so he can stay on the pod? I think he brings good podcast vibes

[@MarvelsMerc]

Return of The King! We missed you DZ!

[@JH-jw7pu]

Living in Vancouver I can tell you the vibe was still pretty positive. Don’t let remarks on social media fool you into thinking that’s what the actual vibe in the city is. Everyone still has lots of the faith in the team.

[@pukhrajmrar1225]

I’M FIRED UP !!! WITH Z’s intro never miss a pod ever !!! Bring out the brooms 🧹

[@seanworre1l]

I feel like Vancouver’s fans do not do a lot for Pettersson’s confidence. Every time he has a mediocre game, the fans jump down his throat as if he hasn’t been their best player the last 5 years

[@numberyi]

I don't think he's the best player but he is pretty inconsistent, hot then cold. Right now he's cold 0 points in 3 games for 11.5 mill isn't acceptable!

[@kevalpatel5925]

Petey wasn’t their best player in 2020, 2022, and obviously this past year…..

[@evolgrim4139]

I see that too man, as a Vancouver fan it pisses me off cap much cause everyone absolutely everyone shits on the guy and it isn’t doing anything but pushing him down and making him less confident in his abilities, it’s why we get a shitty rep

[@ryanwall8746]

Am I the only one who finds these podcasts 10 times better when Jesse isn’t apart of them?

[@skafreak69]

Playoff game nosebleeds at Scotiabank is $600+. The discussion begins and ends at the loud fans can't afford that.

[@KevinJL]

And 36 dollar sandwich Corwin got

[@Zickened]

That explains a lot, nosebleeds at Ball are $100 - $200, an uptick for playoffs for sure, but real fans sit in the 300s.

[@mejonthesuje]

Half of the Canucks crowd is louder then all of torontos

[@nolank19]

Love ya Z, great to see ya back

[@jamiereid7428]

You brought up the towels during the Canucks segment so you wouldn’t have to talk about the Canucks. We’re on to you.

[@nyr413]

Ranger fan here I was at game one this year, both last year, and most games in the 22 run tickets are expensive on the secondary market but the season ticket holders go for generations and die hards (my dad since 1968) accounts for a lot of the crowds, environments have been loud and special

[@duncanlangford2968]

Always a great video when Z is back!!

[@JH-gf4cm]

Canucks fan here that partially agrees with Corwin - the towels are a Canucks thing so of course we embrace it and it's fun. But if i were a fan of another team, I would think that it's an odd tradition to adopt. Also it's such a loser tradition - complaining about the refs to the point of surrender 😅. I love the towels but I wish we had a more positive winning culture here!!!

[@andreshoe3772]

Keep it up 👍 good to see Z!

[@tylerdurden4006]

My fave stat is how the makemelaughs keep blowing leads in the playoffs. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@rytr0nious]

Corwin isn't wrong. The shaking of the towels disrupts the sound burst and absorbs sound waves which stadiums are deliberately designed to amplify.

[@pasielski]

Where should I send you the videos of Canucks playoff games? the sound of towel power will break your eardrums

[@marvinschwartz9159]

We use team-scarfs in germany instead of towels :D looks better and you have some actual value to carry a scarf around in a stadium full of ice

[@HockeyFan102]

Canucks fans should be blaming their offense for not being able to score and not desmith. Can’t win games when you can only get 2 goals

[@icyicegames1262]

Canucks didn’t agree tonight

[@greedo9592]

I’m going to game 5 in Vancouver and I am so excited to finally be able to wave a towel around. Hopefully I can make noise while I do that though, who knows maybe I’ll go mute

[@Nizeez.]

In my experience, most of new york are knicks fans first. Our fan base doesn’t show up in the seats, we do it at home.

[@ridebmx24seven]

What Corwin says, becomes law. Burn the towels.

[@CTobin14]

Bruins fan here. Keep rotating. It’s part of their rhythm.

[@kevinfisher4385]

Luka’s Sweep list has aged well (so far) Caps (Swept) Isles (3-1 Canes) Lightning (3-1 Florida) Stars (2-1 Vegas)

[@adamscharnau3508]

Towels: great for the markets that have a history of it… Vancouver, Winnipeg, Pittsburgh… any team that tries to force it on their fans… no good. I mostly agree with Corwin

[@sternyman1]

6 is generous as hell for the officiating. A 3 at best!

[@nmcaspari5374]

I think I know what Corwin is trying to say. There are certainly hardcore Rangers fans, but as a percentage of the total fan base there is a higher percentage of casual Ranger fans that know nothing about the sport than any other team in any other sport.

[@datkidhi6344]

Z is the absolute best

[@churchy1313]

what yall think about what willy said about not playing??

[@HarrisonHollers]

Toronto is definitely more as a whole invested in the Leafs. Any Canadian city for that matter over a U.S. city. There are multiple pro sports being played at this time; NFL draft, NBA playoffs, MLB start. I do think Rangers fans are as passionate as Canadian teams are though. It’s just not the same percentage of the population.

[@gregbaraks3183]

You guys buffed stuart skinner hard

[@ragejohnson1567]

Where did Corwin learn that pronunciation of Hintz? Literally never heard anyone say it like that

[@tylergervais3207]

best intro yet

[@DmcHwick]

The Canucks had 82 shot attempts to Nashvilles 40, Canucks couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn one of the most frustrating games of the year

[@MrNightRome]

i dont know if they even watch the dallas vegas games, if they did they would see that vegas is keeping them to the outside so getting outshot doesn't matter when 80% of the shots are nothing

[@user-io8sz7tf9t]

I mean all the canadian teams have loud crowds

[@cmus5029]

@@user-io8sz7tf9t absolutely agree, which is why I said one. That canucks crowd is wild right now. Especially after todays victory

[@willtollefson4746]

To counter the "Leafs fans being nervous" thing, a good example os the Wild. A team that will ROUTINELY underperform whenever they have a good team, but EVERY single playoff game in their home building is ear splittingly loud. I feel like it is a combination of obviously the platinum seats, but also a general sense of Leafs fans are just kinda entitled. (Not necessarily in a bad way, as the Leafs players constantly complain about their home ice being hard to play on. Its basically created a hostile culture between the fans and the players where the fans are waiting for the players to do something worth cheering and the players are expecting the fans to cheer them even when they are playing like dogshit)

[@Indybone]

Corwin will never live down the towel take. It will haunt him

[@ehposner]

Corwins towel take just shows hes talking about leafs games

[@timkelly6463]

If the Islanders get swept, they NEED to tear it down and rebuild. This build of a hockey team is not made for a Championship. Even those recent Conference Finals appearances... they clearly weren't a true contender. Lou is delusional if he wants to stand pat and maintain this roster build going forward. Either the rebuild, or he gets rid of the facial hair ban. Somethings gotta give.

[@StoicNature444]

It’s UnBELEAFable!

[@gengarsavage1420]

2 more crazy bruins vs leafs stats Swayman is 6-0 against the leafs in the last 2 season with a .961 or something save % and the leafs are 1 for 11 on the powerplay with that type of money into forwards

Where's Jesse? Too many edibles?

He threw his back out celebrating a Winnipeg goal too hard on their route to a 5-2 loss lol

i’m not complaining, i think i lose brain cells sometimes hearing that dude talk

[@CameronSpanos]

I just want to ask corwin...what games do you go to where people would rather clap over screaming? every one I've ever been to people always shout and yell instead of clap lol. That take is goddamn dumb

[@asmrfan6543]

The coverage on the Canucks was accurate. Indeed I don't much care for the towel. You can't clap enough.

[@germanmilkman5815]

I have to know does corwin also hate the terrible towels the Steelers fans do?

[@toedrag-release]

Theres nothing like a 3:0 lead....unless your Toronto

[@893263007]

Towels are used by fanbases that aren't good at wearing the team's jerseys.

[@jamiereid7428]

Canucks have too many significantly varied jerseys lol. The whole stadium could be in jerseys and you wouldn’t see any uniformity in the crowd.

[@yaranen2797]

RAGS WITH THE 🧹🧹🧹🧹

[@tommyhendricks6412]

I'm convinced Corwin has never been to a playoff game with these takes. Been to both baseball(Phillies) and hockey(Flyers) playoff games and the building is extremely loud with the towels going. The towels being waved creates a better atmosphere

[@kristopherkurelis7588]

WORST LUCK - the CAPS making the playoffs in general … they don’t belong here … OMG if Sid & the PENS were here … they might not have beaten the RANGERS in the series … but it would’ve been good … unbiased for me to say - if not PIT … even DETROIT … that woulda been a very good series …

[@heresJohnny73]

Towels is weird i get the take its one of the few times i can kinda get behind the take (he's always wrong) I feel like it would straight up muffle sound and clapping is definitely a noise maker your losing but your gaining visual noise which I dont think outways the lost noise unless you have a reason for doing it so canucks go ahead and keep waving your white flags but if your just saying hey look they did this lets do it stop

[@Rachel-tq5vq]

Keep Jessie off the show this is way better

[@dirk903]

4 minutes in complaint about the fact that the towels became so popular other teams adopted it... Kinda shows your in a minority o this topic lol

Aves are being absolutely gifted the series by the refs

[@DickLongFlop14]

As a Bruins fan I was all in when it comes to alternating goalies, but with how amazing Swayman has been puts me on the fence. I think Ullmark looked great too but Swayman has this extra aura of confidence and key saves

[@jamiereid7428]

I feel like they should pick one. And Swayman is making the choice easier
