The 2024 NHL Season Just Got Even Weirder | Week 21

Dallas managing to get points out of this incredibly tough road trip with our injured and broken roster this week gives me a lot of hope. We managed to hand the Canes their second L with stankhoven’s NHL debut and take Boston to a 9 round shootout while missing all of our righty defenders and Matt Duchene due to Injury. This Dallas team is going to give basically everyone hell in a 7 game series.

[@gibberingmouther710]

Listening to the MN vs Vancouver game on the radio was nuts as a MN fan. Franchise records for goals in a game(10) and goals in a period(7) I was expecting Vancouver to send it to OT when it was 8-7 late, but it just didn't happen.

[@bingo5694]

Not to split hairs or anything, but Bedard only had one goal against the Canes. His first goal (the one he gloated over) was challenged successfully for off-sides.

I was waiting for this video since the Wild Canucks game, love these recaps

[@newquinn22]

So with the rempe hit, i feel like this is a case where being bigger might be a disadvantage. If youre too big not to hit someone in the head, the answer isn't "then its ok to hit people in the head", it's "i cant hit someone of x height or shorter, because i'll hit them in the head". Its the right call, and he will have to learn what he can and cant hit, given his size. I wish him luck!

Hey Hockey Psychology, I just wanted to say how much I love your videos. Since I found out about your channel, I haven't missed a video. I go for Ottawa, and they seem to be a very under the radar team, with few people talking about them, at least it seems that way. Seeing as you do such great breakdowns on teams, if you see this comment, I would appreciate if you could try do a deep dive on the Sens, who are such a great team on paper, but why haven't they seen success? They started to turn things around in December 2023, but they've hit a 3 game skid. I understand if this is not possible, but I would love it if you could :)

[@brendannewman8685]

They really needed that Bruin game. Their structure had been pretty terrible through the losing streak (although the AV's game was not bad) but they really looked good against the B's. Even if they had lost that game, they pretty much dominated play almost the whole way.

sens beating tampa, losing in OT to panthers, beating the stars and keeping them to 15 shots, and beating vegas in SO made this week a pretty sick one. they've really turned a table under JM and are actually fun to watch now. statistically playoffs are possible but that would require them to go .775 or some junk for the rest of the season but at least it's fun hockey compared to the past handful of years

I’m surprised by the oilers tbh, I am a flames fan so I haven’t seen many full oiler games, but I watched all of the nhl highlights for the games on their 16 game winstreak earlier in the season and I was extremely impressed. The way they moved the puck in the offensive zone was next level, they seemed like the greatest offensive team in the league and then fast forward to today and they just aren’t doing any of that anymore. Glad to see the flames beat them tho, we need those points if we want a chance at the cup this year

[@sirokat]

Even though I’m a Jackets fan, and Olivier *really* had Rempe’s number in their fight, it is really hard for me to not like Rempe. To be that young and have so little fear as a rookie to fight *that* much is pretty incredible. That being said, I really hope he does tone it down a bit with the fighting. Last thing anyone wants is for a player like him to suffer head injuries that could be avoided easily. That being said though, he seems like a class act off the ice as well.
