NHL Power Rankings January 2025

[@RukaRadebe]

Really like this as a planned video, would prefer you start at 32nd and work up to 1st though

[@deltagolavista1]

Actually, he should do something different. Start at 32 but once a team is replaced on the board, he does that team next.

[@TrAvi5link]

​@@deltagolavista1that would be sloppy I feel like

[@astroben5113]

The thing that changed for the Canadiens is Alex Carrier that was acquired from Nashville for Justin Baron. He brings defensive stability: being paired with Ghule( he now plays on his strong . Savard goes on the 3rd pairing..pous Carrier brings experience, and energie, and grit to the team.

[@Jaclyn1986]

Exactly. The Sick Podcast was talking about this as well. Carrier was a solid pick up. Great job by pro scouting and Kent.

[@GeoGolfer]

Those black jackets are crazy good 😂😂😂

[@LukeVenables]

I haven't found a single team that has beaten the Black Jackets all season.

[@gjdevo4992]

I think you meant Montreambault not Primeau Jesse, Dobes was called up to replace Primeau.

[@Jaclyn1986]

He just doesn’t like the Habs 😥. Still love Jesse and team DAS tho 😊

[@SportNerdGamers]

Love the Kopi love. Most underrated player of his generation

[@Jay-wd6um]

Habs rebuild isn’t linear…like you’ve said in the past when they’re ready they’ll be fine…still a few years from competing for cups, still trimming the fat

[@JPBelanger]

They still have players to come up. They are not "making a run". They'll walk before they run.

[@janihaavisto79]

I'm sad that Montreal hasn't got their act together. As a Leaf's fan because of SDPN from 5yrs ago already ,I still am a Finnish man and liked to see Laine succeed in Habs.

[@45-CommentDeleted-47]

No love for small market Colorado. Winners of 10 of their last 12 games, you got them at 13. That's a joke.

[@StreakSRM]

Avalanche: 11-3 in December, highest points percentage in the league. Jesse: So what's the deal with landeskog? +1

[@CameronBabin]

Greatly overestimating the kings and underestimating the oil

[@morgansanderson9923]

There are two different mistakes on points percentage in this video. 1: saying by points percent the bruins are out of the playoffs (they aren’t) 2: saying the penguins have a better points percent than the sens (they don’t)

[@MartianPuck89]

How is it that both Wild and Capitals are -3 spots? In the previous rankings, did you have the Capitals rated above the #1 Wild? Otherwise, it seems the caps moving from #2 to #3 = -1 spots moved, not -3...

[@njdevil1525]

Not to mention the back to back for devils, the Kings hadn’t played a game in like 3 days..

[@janihaavisto79]

BTW your take on Leaf's and that how steady they are. Could you tell that to "Stove" as well. He's coming undone the closer the playoffs are. Lmao!

[@Disciple_of_Larkin71]

3 game heater for the wings in the Todd McLellan Era 🔥

[@deltagolavista1]

32:45 Senator fans have been said that last year as well, but one cannot discount the improved defensive game that the Senators have been playing in front of their net minders. Jensen has been a sneaky good pick-up for them

[@janihaavisto79]

Hi Jesse. Yeah, it takes some time to use to say 2025. And when you're writing documents where you keed time and place mentioned, well I'll be making 2024 for some of those 💯%. So I'd like rhis to be every month. Let's go Jesse Blake Sports Report, name that Adam hates. Although i would rather see you do it in reverse. From 32 to 1st.

[@KevinBrevin]

53:30 Macklin, Wolf, and Lane Hudson are front runners with Michkov and Stankoven looking in.

[@gokingsgoful]

It remains a crime that Hall beat Kopitar for the Hart in 17-18, too. If the best defensive player in hockey scores 90+ points, he's the MVP. But of course writers love themselves a narrative and Hall being traded somehow meant more than, you know, being the best player (plus the usual fact that most hockey writers don't watch Pacific division US teams). Jets I dunno about in terms of a playoff run unless Hellebuyck just wins it for them outright. Lowest expected goals of the big teams, lowest shot for percentage at even strength of the big teams (only one below 50%...)... their numbers are a bit weird atm. Dallas also has an ABSURD share of power play time (57%) and still is having problems scoring. It's shocking how bad they are offensively.

[@thecat627]

Broberg has been good for the Blues as well, until he got hurt.

[@13loodbunny]

When was this recorded? Idk if Jets are even top 5 atm if we are looking at recent power. Same with wild, they are prolly more in the 9-12 range.

[@jaredmcintyre4819]

Been waiting for this all day 🎉

[@MTCH1986]

I think the Habs are showing some great progress, but to me, I want to make sure that this rebuild is done right, I think that the Habs would be best to trade some expire contracts like Jake Evans because his value is really high, David Savard & maybe Mike Matheson if the price is right and than at the draft, start trading all your quantity assets and bring in quality assets to build around.

[@GeoGolfer]

Trading Evans would be a huge mistake. They don’t need picks and they do not have anyone to replace him that’s anywhere close to ready. He’s only 28. Sign him 3x3.5. He wants to stay.

[@ultigame129]

Another great video. Feels bad to be a Predator/Sabres fan right now.. Really wonder if the preds is gonna sell one of their top guns in the summer, and what kind of changes the sabres will do during trade deadline

[@billybobhobnob101]

Hopefully the Sabres don't make a stupid trade- they need a better right shot D-man and a power forward.

[@NotAnAccountant]

Didn't we also just get the Cutter Gauthier bowl and nothing really happened?

[@NickAlsup]

Preseason prediction for the caps is aging so well...

[@subfail4810]

To add on to the devils, it wasn't even a full 24 hour turn around between games. I think it was a 21 or 22 hour difference between games. Not crazy, but that 2 hours could be vital to resting

[@michaelg5818]

If the Jets finish 1st, I think Helly deserves the Hart.

[@Matt-nj1yh]

At 4-3-3 the Canucks have 9 teams with worse records... in the past 10 games, they are at best #20. all season, league wide... there is an argument for #13. but if you are looking playoff hopes and divisional progress.... Canucks have been falling fast, barely holding on to a wild card spot. #17 at best... There is no way of looking at stats and saying... "yup... Canucks are definitely a top 10 team"

[@justincredubil]

The Avs have $4m in cap space right now. They can easily fit Landy in there if they want to. They just have to trade one of Manson, Wood, or Colton.

[@doug3512]

Expect Wedgewood to go to LTIR

[@Jul15227]

​@@doug3512he's not out long

[@Jul15227]

Trade depth players for someone who hasn't played in 2.5 years is crazy

[@Qmocean]

Caps moving from 1 to 3 is -2 not -3

[@Exp.No.Zenar-57]

They also only moved from 2 to 3, so it would be -1

[@doug3512]

The Avs are on a 6 game win streak. They beat the Jets pretty decisively. They're 8-2 in their last 10 games. And you hage them moving up 1 place?!?!

[@pomerlain8924]

That win was not decisively. They had 2 empty-net goals to make a 3-2 score 5-2.

[@joeblow666666]

the avs beat a tired jets team and the next game against the avs is on the second half of a back to back for the jets again seems like the avs are getting the benifit of scheduling here deffinitley not decisive either as the previous commentor said already 2 eng makes things look bad

[@pomerlain8924]

@@joeblow666666 We can't keep using the tired excuse for the Jets losses. If this team is supposed to be one of the best, they need to find ways to win these games. Because they're not going to have everything setting up perfectly for them every time. No team does. Contending teams find a way. The Leafs found a way to get wins with half of their line-up being AHL call-ups. The Avs found a way to beat the Sabres twice after facing large deficits in both games. Last year, the Avs won a game in Toronto where they were only able to ice 10 healthy forwards.

[@joeblow666666]

@@pomerlain8924 it was far from a tired excuse i simply pointed out that the avs are benifiting from the schedule right now i coulda said the avs barely beat a tired jets team and their backup but i didnt i was simply pointing out to the avs fan that what they are doing isnt as world beating as they think considering the jets havent lost in reg unless its the second half of a back to back in a month. also we dont play playoff games b2b nights for a reason

[@Jul15227]

Jets are dominant still. It's hard to argue at this point. Hopefully they don't wear out hellybuck again.

[@emptonik2437]

La should be above the wild

[@michaelyano6094]

As a canucks fan... you have us way too high

[@JM-oy5yv]

This is a weird power ranking THG does it best

[@justincredubil]

Avalanche 13. Lmao. Bro, they are the best team in the NHL right now, and have been playing like it for over a month.

[@Marixa1979]

Have you looked at the teams that they have beaten? They've played 3 games against good teams in the last month and a bit and won 2 of them. The rest of the teams are garbage teams.

[@billybobhobnob101]

I'm a Sabres fan and that is way too high.

[@jeniasmackay7931]

Go Oilers

[@retflo2583]

And the Ducks beat Jets again....

[@coadster9988]

I hope the canadiens buy and add to their defense. Matheson and Hutson on one line is not it

[@davidjackson2100]

I get that you are trying to do something different and be unique. And trust me, I really believe you have put a lot of thought into this. But you need to start at 32 and work yourself up towards #1-i am an avid listener I listen and watch pretty much everything you do and I think you are GREAT. Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut you’re wrong about this. Like I said I watch almost everything you post but I won’t watch this one-it’s just not that interesting. We are trying to help you out here by saying this. We want the SDPN to take over the world-but this is just not the way Anyway happy new year!

[@Jaclyn1986]

A lot of these guys from the 90s and early 00s… not too great for this current era right now….Drury, Adams, Roy (sorry Pat), Briere, Blake, Conroy, Shanahan, and Yzerman

[@jacobmeis1249]

Aves 6 wins in a row.

[@nickgreenfield8155]

And he's talking about Landy 😂. Not really sure how that's a power ranking thing. Landy skating really doesn't mean anything at all 😂. I think they're underrated here. Does not look like he catches avs games. Which is coo but they're doing better than some teams through December higher than them.

[@olmes1044]

Does this guy really have 9 teams ahead of the oilers right now? SMH typical leaf fan lol

[@stkr7030]

Ya i think this shows how little hockey you watch. Avs at 13 is insanely fraudulent. Rangers should be in the bottom 3rd lmao. How does a hockey media member have such horrible takes

[@emptonik2437]

LA way too low

[@samspade4050]

Lol the habs at 31 , you can’t make videos like this when you clearly have no clue about hockey

[@bowlcutt3276]

23 genius

[@DyannGalina]

You're doing a fantastic job! Just a quick off-topic question: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?
