Dallas May Have Broken CBA Rules, Broken Collarbone for Schaefer, Avs Finnish Hat Tricks

[@Jay_Dead]

It was the Leafs who took an early flight to St Louis a couple of seasons ago, i think they left 12 hours earlier than they were supposed to.

[@bartsanders1553]

Those rat bastards!

[@aralornwolf3140]

They did that so the team could be better rested when they arrived for the road game... I can't remember if they won. The team ate the fine. It's really on the league to _not_ schedule games like that. Give each team travel time... so that's 4 days w/o hockey.

[@Jay_Dead]

@aralornwolf3140 They won 6-5 in overtime, it was an entertaining game.

[@darrengray1239]

I am a Blues fan and I was at that effing game! Now that I know the Loafs cheated, tell Marner I want my money back for the tickets!!!!

[@jefferybushnik3057]

If I remember correctly they were allowed to leave at midnight but put it to a vote to the players and they agreed to leave at 10 instead.

[@deansmith6593]

Was great to see the happiness and excitement of team Latvia after they won.

[@Hi_Flyers]

Avs management looking like geniuses going out to get another Finn in Parssinen, now hes gonna get a hattrick for them too!

[@travischarlet5731]

Think it was Toronto who took the flight early I think it was last year

[@davidfitzpatrick6535]

I want to say it was a couple years ago actually.

[@salvatoremartino9643]

The reason why new years eve for Wrigley game was there is a limit to non baseball events of 8 for the calendar year so they backed it inside 2024

[@timdowney6721]

I was really surprised by Leki not already having a hattie already.

[@ssc00p]

Well... he has played only 25 games... after 6 months of rehab...

[@davidfitzpatrick6535]

it Was the Leafs. They left early something to do with time zones and easier to travel and the players agreed to it.

[@THEGDB]

Pretty sure it was the leafs that previously broke the CBA with an early flight out .

[@SverigeiSverige]

It was. 👍

[@markmccrory3004]

Due to a storm. Get the context right ​@@SverigeiSverige

[@THEGDB]

@markmccrory3004 the rules don't care

[@markmccrory3004]

Maybe, but context matters. ​@THEGDB

[@THEGDB]

@markmccrory3004 does it tho? Who really cares

[@dleatherman4539]

Avs have a bunch of Finnishers.

[@BCNeil]

Remember, nothing is ever optional at work

[@LiminalMan777]

Finally getting hyped about the Avs again, it's been nice to see the vibe of the team change with the new goaltending

[@itsjustme1616]

Seriously though! It’s hard to gel and play the way you want to play when the fear of every shot against is possibly going in. Every single flaw you have as a team is just has a spot light on it, and moral cannot be high. It’s so good to see them having fun again.

[@LiminalMan777]

@itsjustme1616 absolutely

[@justinrogers1807]

Like you have not won a cup in the last 5??? You need to get hyped about them ... damn poor avs got fans like that

[@_cohen]

Me too bro….

[@OG785]

I doubt this injury affects Schaefer much if at all in the draft. He is a top 3 pick and will remain there.

[@TheMikeyb86]

Happy Saturday, Shannon!

[@AlejandroChristlieb]

When is the next jersey collection video releasing?

[@MarkCMG]

Thanks for the video! Open ice and mandatory practice might seem like different things but when a team suggests the ice is open, it insinuates the players should take advantage of it. The rules make it clear to avoid implied mandatory practices. Nice tribute to Sam Rosen. I hate seeing injuries during the WJ games. The popcorn Zambonis are cool. Rangers need more than Miller, I think. The weather has been warm in Chicago for the last week or so during the days and through Tuesday. 26 teams are playing New Year's Eve (day and evening) but the Winter Classic is the only late afternoon game. Finns for the wins in COL!

[@2001sager]

Maybe the Rangers should honor Sam Rosen by giving some effort and not being terrible

[@kryten09]

Darn. As a sharks fan, i was hoping for Schafer in the draft. Hopefully he heals up and returns to form.

[@numtwelve12]

Thank you for keeping the videos coming. Stuck in bed sick and am really happy to have hockey content! (Games are on in the background lol)

[@csolivais1979]

Get well.soon!

[@numtwelve12]

@ thank you!

[@HampusLiedman]

And avs added another finn. Another hat trick coming

[@THEGDB]

Big shout out to dobes in Montreal, 1st NHL start today , 1st NHL shutout , montreal is looking pretty good lately as a full team . Gotta get Evans signed

[@PrositronMcHappy]

Not if he wants 5x5 or similar.

[@steph1433]

Young Goalies and young Defense Looking good for Habs,primeau on waivers.

[@steph1433]

@@PrositronMcHappy who wants 5x5 ?

[@THEGDB]

Evans i would offer 4x4mil or 5x 3.5mil , it's a fair offer and inline with the teams cap structure . If a team on the open market offers anything in the 5mil range, he has to sign that deal, and montreal has to let him go .

[@maxpowr90]

So much misinformation about the Leafs' fine. They left 90mins early to fly because of a major storm coming to the city that would have in all likelihood, postponed the game. The team didn't have a practice during the mandatory stoppage.

[@deansmith6593]

Peoples memories are off and they did not use google. Always a nefarious conspiracy with Leafs fans :/

[@JPMadden]

The Winter Classic was switched to December 31 because of the expanded NCAA football playoffs, as well as declining ratings. I do agree that the NHL shouldn't have scheduled so many other games on that day.

[@starburst1241]

Last time the Jets waived a prospect in the AHL for contract termination, they signed Kevin He. They have another prospect in the OHL in Keiron Walton who should probably also get signed sooner rather than later.

[@Wicked_1313]

Excited to see coverage for the PWHL.

[@nooraj.3622]

A PWHL power ranking would be amazing - I look forward to your NHL power rankings every week. Thanks for all you do! :)

[@Leroy-df3ee]

I hope this is sarcasm.

[@firethecoach8800]

Lmao nobody cares and the pwhl!

[@michauvanspeyk8753]

The NHL Winter Classic should be ON NEW YEARS DAY NOT NEW YEARS EVE

not anymore with college football smothering it. Plus the NHL ruined it by picking repeat teams and repeat venues.

[@MingTongPang54]

I have both season 1 PWHL and season 2 PWHL jersey. Season 1 jersey was manufactured by K1 which is ok for a replica. Season 2 PWHL decided to go with Bauer as manufacturer. Season 2 jersey definitely upgrade over season 1. I only wish they have the road jerseys in shop because those were nice.

[@mikeb.2925]

Should be the same penalty as Arizona received for making prospects workout.

[@cowboyd5673]

Which was what?

[@FirewagonHockey]

@@cowboyd5673 Losing a 1st round pick

[@urban_89]

I was on the fence with the pwhl last yr, then my home team won which was cool but it didnt get me hyped like i thought it would and then they blew it all up. Ive basically lost all interest in it now

[@LiamWright-y9y]

excited for pt 2 of the western conference jersey collection

[@JeikobuNippon]

I wonder if the Avs are now Finland‘s favorite NHL team? 🤔

[@Bc232klm]

I'd like a wjc vid!

[@gordonlong3095]

Wow, I’ve not seen the popcorn Zambonis before, how awesome! I see Nashville has followed with their own, and I saw a Facebook post of a Vegas Zamboni loaded with chicken tenders and fries… ohhh I wish I could collect these, very cool! I like the little zambonis sized like Hot Wheels or Matchbox cars and have been tempted to collect them, and I have a few WHL hockey pucks, but food Zambonis are gonna suck me in, I’ll have to make a good friend in every league city…. Lol

[@gordonlong3095]

The popcorn Zambonis would be a good sponsorship for the THG channel!

[@hockey582004]

Years are those things that you stop counting somewhere in-between 35 & 40.

[@1pbdecoded1pb]

Pens fan: Huberdeau has 27 points in 35 games including 15 goals. Huby Duby dooooo. Flames are doing good to. The Flames are tied in points with Dallas for the final wild card spot. The Flames are only 1 point behind Vancouver. Clang was traded by the Pens in the Rakell deal.

[@artshoey]

As an American Avs fan, I do see myself pulling for Canada and Finland 😅

[@Nathanielhiggerson66]

As a Finnish Avs fan, I’m gonna root for both too! as long as swedes wont win…. 😘 its a rivalry thing

[@channingsmith7859]

Does the popcorn zamboni flop on its side and lay there for a while to try and sell bad calls?

[@nathanfankhanel]

Go Avs!!

[@wilbs1959]

I have a idea , some different teams in the Winter Classic

and more importantly, different venues.

[@thatcanadiankid7855]

Never been this early love all your videos man

[@Simon-tc1mc]

Winter Classic is overshadowed by USA vs Canada.

[@skylarrobinson3419]

Huberdeau by far has played his best hockey these past dozen or so games. Haven't had any "what are you doing" moments really this year either.

[@slothfacts9390]

Sam Rosen is a fantastic commentator and one of the reasons I grew up watching the Rangers all the way to today, he will be missed on the cast by many

[@bravepotatoe7513]

schaefer out is quite the blow for team canada he looked like an absolute stud

[@richardmanginelli2624]

The NHL should have Sam Rosen call the Finals .....

[@XaviRonaldo0]

If it's optional I fail to see what the big deal is. Can't the players just opt out?

[@benjaminlynch9958]

Yeah, if they want to be healthy scratched or sent to the AHL (and the 90% pay cut that comes with that for young players). There’s a reason that rule was put in the CBA. The players were sick and tired of losing their holiday break to an a-hole of a coach and got it enshrined in the CBA that coaches aren’t allowed to do that *stuff*.

[@lomfmur]

@@benjaminlynch9958Sounds like the issue’s more with calling it “optional” than anything else tbh lol

Nitpick: "Torgersson" - with an "r" there in the middle.

[@UnicornHunterD]

I don't really care about the Winter classic but they have 3 college hockey games that I want to watch.

[@jeffreyclinard2002]

I'm sort of glad it is illness for Gibson, not that injury he got in the game against Vegas.

[@pjp9310]

[@michaelsanders3624]

I assume the Stars get punished, most likely fined, if that’s the case do you think the organization uses this as a pretext to fire DeBoer who seems to have lost the room?

Stars just can’t catch a break, and it’s mostly self-inflicted 😭

[@wokenpancake]

there is a 20% chance of rain on NYE during the game.

[@RRaquello]

The NHL's still stuck on Black Hawks for their big showcase game. Mediocre Blues vs. lousy Black Hawks sounds like a real, thrilling "much watch" contest. Anyway, casual fans who don't follow hockey won't know what they're getting. I have no beef about having other games the same day as the Winter Classic, especially if the games are at night.

[@Cruxvae]

If Schaefer falls in the draft because if the injury, some team that lost the lottery is going to get a hell of a consolation prize. Schaefer is giving potential Cale Makar vibes.

[@pathindsley]

The fact that the players, owners, and coaches would rather fly out somewhere early or hold an optional practice and still get punished is obnoxiously dumb. I understand that it’s what owners and players agreed to contractually, but it’s a stupid thing to enforce. They should make the punishment optional, too.

[@blakehelgoth5247]

And, just picked up another Finn

[@kommander7779]

Surely we won the game after having this optional practice right

[@ilznidiotic]

Do not Google it

[@davidfitzpatrick6535]

heck It wouldn't surprise me if it was a slip of the mind. IE he thought he was good to go but the break was still in effect.

[@BigHatMatt]

Personally would love more juniors coverage, and maybe even some greatest hits or periodic AHL highlights. Always trying to find solid info on developing prospects / potential draft picks coming up. Not all that interested in PWHL.

I’d love to see your PWHL jerseys…. Boston’s logo looks like a good sister-logo to the Kraken anchor logo (and maybe it would be cool for the Boston anchor to go fishing and hook either the Seattle S (like a seahorse) or the octopoidal Kraken). I doubt you’ll be able to throw a lot of time to covering the PWHL, as busy as you are with the men’s league (and rightfully so), but perhaps one ‘This week in the PWHL’ video with scores and news and discussion is the adequate amount of coverage now. With further expansion, especially a Vancouver team, then you could do two videos a week. You are The Hockey Guy, so it makes sense to cover the PWHL a bit. I’d expect you to mention the World championships, the Workd Jrs, the Us and Canadian college championships, the AHL and ECHL and WHL as well.
