I got one for ya. During the 2021 playoffs in round one, Montreal Canadiens player Jesperi Kotkaniemi scored in OT to win the game. It was his 15th playoff game, he took the 15th shot of OT, it was his 15th goal since coming back from the AHL, the time of the goal was 15:15 into OT.

Fun one here. Jagr during the 1994-95 lockout went out and played one game in a German 1 league for a team called the Schalker Sharks where he scored the first goal, and then just kept passing the puck to his teammates. He finished the one game that he had there with one goal and 10 assists for 11 points. He also went on to say that he didnt care about being paid for the one game. All he wanted was a schnitzel with mayo😂

[@dana102083]

He seemed like a good guy. 11 points lol he's GOAT

[@LordBitememan]

I don't think Bettman hates Canadian teams, I think he hates Canadian markets. I think a lot of folks miss something about the scale difference between the US and Canada. The city of Dallas, Texas, not even including its metropolitan area, has a population that by 2019 estimates is larger than the entire province of Manitoba. If the metropolitan area is thrown in the population would be behind only Ontario's and Quebec's. That's why Gary Bettman keeps trying to put teams in these large sunbelt cities in the US, if the game grows down there the potential to make money is enormous. If you put a team in Saskatoon you've got 300,000 people to work with. That's it. There's no room for growth there.

He would never rig it for his hometown team, I don’t even know if Bettman even really like hockey that much (maybe he does but it wouldn’t surprise me if he’s pretty neutral on the sport itself) but I can see him doing it for financial game for the league. The rangers haven’t had a strong team for a long time and they should be one of the most popular teams in the unites states. Especially with this new Espn deal that has come, it could be huge if the rangers are at the top of their division

[@Basegud]

"And a Canadian team hasn't made it to the Stanley Cup Finals since 2011" This quote aged well. I kinda find it funny how Montreal were the first Canadian team to make the finals exactly 10 years after the last one. Who knows when the next Canadian team will make the finals though. I'm rooting for the Oilers this year, but maybe we'll have to wait until 2031 for another Canadian team to be in the finals lol

[@kazokuhouou6781]

Howzat feel now?

[@MoneyHoneyBunny]

It feels like they actively try to keep Canadian teams out of the finals now. Some of the calls in the Game 7 of Pittsburgh vs Ottawa made that the most rigged refereeing in NHL history. They wanted Crosby to get another cup BAD that year, they took 7 games vs Washington AND Ottawa and a boatload of horrible calls in both series to get him there. There's a lot of reasons why Crosby won't ever be 1 of the top 20 players ever but, that doesn't help his case. He's lucky to have joined the NHL after the lockout because from 96-97 to 03-04 scoring was almost impossible, 50 goals and over 100 points was like a miracle on those years. You had guys in the top 10 of scoring with UNDER 80 POINTS. Now you got guys with 100+ not even in the top 10 like in the 80s.

I wouldn't doubt that PED's are rampant throughout the league. It's so competitive that you just can't lose a step on others who take them. Imagine being a 4th line grinder and that being the difference to being in the league or not. The testing is also scheduled and not random so you would know when to stop taking them so it passes through your system. Schmidt had trace amounts so he likely just didnt allow enough time to pass before testing.

The reffing was atrocious against Canadian teams in the playoffs when facing a US-based opponent and Bettman fought ferociously to keep the Coyotes in Phoenix when it became obvious that moving the team out of Winnipeg was a mistake. The movie "Bon Cop, Bad Cop" uses Bettman's favouritism towards US-teams and the moving of the Nordiques to Colorado as a backstory.

[@benoitchagnon7283]

I'm pretty sure as well, it all comes down to something else Bettman really loves. It comes on green paper and rhymes with honey. Since he was specifically tasked with expanding the game in the USA when he was named commissionner, he probably gets huge bonuses based solely on that criteria.

Back then rookies were never in the games because there weren't roster updates (all games were offline except if you got the online expansion thing for multiplayer...at least on ps2...) and I think it is because legally they could only put nhl pros in the game and i think you can play like 10 games and it didnt count as your rookie season.

Back in my junior days ( early 90's ) there was always something floating around in the room, and the better stuff was usually in the stall 20mins before gametime. The rink staff was always instructed to leave any blood on the ice. ( Especially mine 😂) Exhibition games were horrendous due to guys foiling up or wearing HUGE rings. This is usually when my blood went on the ice, ( especially my first year at 15 ) even though I was not one of our staffed ' goons'. I found out that year that our goons sucked at being goons. Especially if the other guy was 6'5 and sporting a fistful of ' ceremonial rings '. Concussion protocol was having the trainer tell me not to fall asleep while he was patching my face up..😂😂 A few games I had to make my defense partner aware that when the puck was closer than 4 feet to my stick it would disappear from my sight. Local cops were usually around for the home games..lol . On the plus side...the beer and chix never stopped. Long bus rides were always funny and eventful. Even the odd parking lot brawl was fun. The early 90's was a very fun, but brutal time to play hockey.

I think the league also changed the draft rules and let Vegas be good their first few seasons so they could get that 32nd team. If Vegas didn’t do well, or their revenue wasn’t worth it, then Seattle and other possible cities would be hesitant to offer up the $650 million dollars.I know that Seattle started their season ticket drive in the middle of Vegas’ first season, but if the team was doing what every other expansion team had done before them, there would be a sense of hesitancy from fans and executives. Also the NHL wanted Vegas to do well because it was an untapped market. No other pro team called Vegas home so a lot of the residents had no real team to cheer for. Since the NHL was first, they will always have a special spot if the hearts of Vegas residents. In addition, the city is a tourist Mecca which drives up the revenue for team and city. People will travel to see their team play in Vegas because it’s in Vegas and there is almost every other form of entertainment.

[@tammyandthetrex]

Honestly me and a friend who have been watching hockey regularly, both die hard fans of dofferent teams, since 1995, during the Vegas draft and trades were saying "theyre trying to tank" .....they just did a really good job of scouting there.

Now that the 2023 playoffs have come and gone the coke accusions seems very accurate. The florida panthers are a huge example. Gudas after beating toronto. That picture of him screaming in wolls face has smth odd about it. Gudas is definitely on something.

So glad I finally had time to watch this, another banger Paul

In 6:50 I remember hearing one time that Hamilton tigers after there team left they became the Hamilton tiger cats football team

[@swood5505]

this should be useful to me... i’ve always been a bit of a more casual fan but i’ve always wanted to learn more!

[@idontgivetkachuk]

Ayy well I hope you learned a thing or two!

[@ericanate3155]

I sure hope you covered the sabres getting screwed by hull in the crease and the year before against the flyers with the goal going through the side of the net or rather under it

[@Gl-my8fw]

The hull one was a good goal.... the rules had been adjusted mid year.

I remember being at the gold medal game at the 2019 world juniors and Oliver wahlstrom’s stick breaking and the broken piece flying over the glass and hitting the guy a few rows down from me it ended up cutting his head (he was bald) his head was gushing blood and he had to be rushed out

I feel like part of Bettman's conspiracy to keep the Cup in America is to grow the game in the States. Being from and growing up in and around Vancouver I kept thinking (during the 2011 riot), "Thanks for justifying this." Sarcastically, of course.

Great video Paul, some things I may have forgotten

Thanks man!

I feel like in one of the upper layers should have been the Flyers-Senators brawl, but other than that this vid was fascinating. Well done!

18:20 the story goes that after game 6 the stick rack was left outside of the Montreal locker room which allowed the coaches to view mcsorelys stick and see that it was illegal and they kept it in their back pocket until they needed it

Fun fact: The Colorado Avalanche were almost named, The Rocky Mountain Xtreme. However, after being leaked in a Denver Post article, people hated it and the owner then chose Avalanche.

3 picks after the Tsujimoto guy was picked my uncle was picked

[@idontgivetkachuk]

WOW! What an amazing story!! Tell your uncle I said hello!

[@alyssinwilliams4570]

Changing the expansion draft rules so that the expansion team was more competitive from the start is a good idea, to me. I still remember the utter hopelessness of the first season for the Sharks and (modern) Sens in the early 90s. The Sens were almost historically bad.

Awesome video! I really love the iceberg videos.

[@idontgivetkachuk]

Thanks sm dude! That means a lot! I do too! They’re rly fun to watch and dive deep into.
