Reviewing February 8th Evening NHL Games

[@the6ig6adwolf]

The Canucks have only made the postseason twice in the last ten years and still have more playoff success than the Leafs.

[@bhavjotkang8004]

Leafs have never made the 4th round

[@patheticdawg]

@@bhavjotkang8004I don’t think they’ve ever made it past the second round either

[@JD200_]

Its not success if you have no one to share it with -Shoresy

[@kaiuche8640]

The Canucks and winning on a Saturday is slowly becoming a meme on here. I hope it keeps up.

[@tomkelley4119]

The suspense is terrible. I hope it will last.

[@darensteele1005]

Enjoy your vacation, you more than earned it!

[@Moobeus]

One thing I’d love is maybe at the end of each game review you have like a couple of sentence commentary on what you thought about how each team played. Id love hearing your actual input on the games!

[@elwizschold]

Indeed, I would love for these reviews to actually be reviews too :)

[@alphiegrrr1868]

Yes I would agree in that Shannon lets the numbers drive 90% of his analysis which can be quite dry, but compare that to the other clickbait podslop out there. Not so bad.

[@Hockeyhobo89]

He used to say something at the top of the review and sometimes he still does but not as often anymore. I don’t watch most games so it was nice to get a general consensus from him.

[@parzival8108]

if you count the shootout goals in the Ducks-Kings game, there were a total of 100 goals scored across the NHL yesterday

[@FH99]

The Blues/Blackhawks game felt like an 80's game without a fight. The Blues hit the post 3 times in the 2nd period alone and hit another post in the 3rd. The only penalty that was called on the Blues was an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on Jim Montgomery who was upset over a couple of non-calls. It was a wild, and entertaining game, for sure.

[@ogreman2229]

Some goofy goals too, deflections off of multiple players that ended up in the net.

[@woodsie22]

In that shootout, if Binnington didn’t make the save after the Faksa goal, it felt like they might have to go through the full roster

[@rubyseverinwhitworth9066]

Love seeing THG in a seattle jersey. Means good things to come at the end of the video

[@ninjashep5264]

Great video! Super happy as a Canucks fan!

[@Lazzar1958]

Playing as a TEAM once again! 👍

[@brianvanwyk9425]

I have this feeling like Dostal really wanted to beat the Kings

[@jordanholmes9943]

He deserved the shutout. His body language when the kings got one was heartbreaking

[@paulmoore7635]

The last time I heard Demko has 2 weeks to heal up we didn’t see him for 8 months.

[@Hex760]

the ducks are creeping up in the rankings 👀

[@ajbolt7]

The score doesn't tell the story with the Leafs-Canucks game, the Canucks absolutely dominated. xGA was around 5 to 1.75. 3 or 4 posts too.

[@Hockeyhobo89]

The key for beating us is to have your star player miss the game, works almost every time.

[@jamesstemmler7620]

As a neutral fan (because I'm both a Leafs AND Canucks fan LOL) I agree. Leafs best play was like the first 3min of the game after that Canucks dominated for the most part.

[@defaultuser1447]

Went to the Blues-Blackhawks tilt, sec 319 as usual. Crazy crazy crazy. Not a goaltending duel by any means. Blues fail to start on time, get down two in the first. Totally dominate the second, with three goals, going to be easy right? Wrong! Outshoot the Hawks in the third, but give up thee goals on like six shots. Manage to even the game late on a Thomas goal that just got away from Soderbloom. Good thing the ref was behind the net or he'd probably have whistled a stoppage. I couldn't see it from our angle, so I had no idea how it happened. STL controls OT, but almost lose it with 2 seconds, the puck just hits the bottom of Binnington's skate. Ten rounds of shootout. Finally got it done. Yay.

[@csmusic432]

The Calgary game was very well reffed. Everyone moaning and complaining is just showing their bias. The OT hold was the most blatant hold I have ever seen.

[@Rockhound6165]

Back in the early 80's the Sixers used to have Grover Washington, jr used to do the National Anthem on sax all the time. It is cool.

[@Supermack20]

Here for the Stars no mercy magnet…

[@waynearnold2242]

in the building for the Canucks game, electric the whole time, constant "go leafs go" being shouted under "go canucks go" loved every second of that game

[@tdfmtig]

I was so ready to hate on the stars after they went down 2-0

[@clspercussion]

Keep dreaming 😎

[@GizmoBeach]

Not surprised Buffalo lost to Nashville. They'd beat the `76 Canadiens in a thriller then after a two-day layoff would lose three straight to the `74 Capitals-Scouts-Golden Seals. It's been that kind of year as always: consistent as jigsaw puzzle pieces in a blender. Can't wait for Adams to deal Cozens for a defender who'll suddenly lose the ability to defend *and* score while Cozens turns into Sam Reinhart 2.0 w/ Vegas or somewhere with palm trees and lower taxes.

[@bdonaghu]

No kidding, and based on the third period you'd think Buffalo had played last night and Nashville had three full days off before... So frustrating...

[@MH_1-9-9-6]

Just got back from the sharks game , my first nhl game in 14 months , sorry sharks 🙈

[@TheManny717]

Pretty soon, Shannon should have a combined Cobra Kai & 80's Night sticker just because.

[@ConfideKylie]

After that horribly officiated game between CGY-SEA last Sun, glad to see SEA get the W this time around.

[@bartphlegar8212]

I was thamkful that I was watching the Kings-Ducks game on a small screen - otherwise I might've gotten whiplash. The pace was frenetic, and it's always fun to watch a Kings game when their broadcast crew is hyped. And they were that...I looked it up. "Dostal" in Czech translates to "biscuit thief". Rittick is no slouch either, but Dostal is on a level of his own, right up there with Hellebuyck, Shesterkin, and Vasilevsky - on their good days. And he's still a young guy...If I were a Sharks fan, I would be livid. What are they gonna do next? Move back to the Cow Palace? By the way, where's Askarov - the guy you were going to stake your team's future into? Oh, yeah. The AHL...Hockey managers seem to conveniently forget the fact that they need to sell tickets, advertising, and TV subscriptions...

[@squidMB]

What a collapse from Calgary

[@KevinBrevin]

0:26 That wasn’t a saxophone that was a clarinet.

[@choppergunner8650]

Panthers are so back, baby!

[@wokenpancake]

Prior to the shootout, Soderblom had saved 0/9 shootout shots he faced. Last night, he changed that to 8/19.

[@mannyoliveira776]

that long range goal from Brbrg was a bit of a headscratcher/howler

[@dennis2376]

Canucks win against Toronto, what, oh yea it is Saturday. :) Glad you explain the goalie change, I was confused watching the high lights. Thank you. Frost on the Flames. :)

[@mikeruxpin2829]

Canucks highest gainer on this weeks power rankings!

[@jackjax532]

The Wild finally playing a heavy game. Good things happen when you shoot the puck, Shannon.

[@jared4walsh]

Calgary you blew it.

[@kopitarrules]

They're the flames. Blowing things has been second nature to them since they were in Atlanta...

[@CojoSC]

In his last game before playing as Canadas goalie Biddington let in 5 goals on 20 shots to the Blackhawks and lost a shootout.

[@jarilautiainen1306]

Maybe I'm wrong about JT Miller,I hope so

[@jp4477]

It's Saturday.

[@seanmccarthy7323]

8 and 4 and 1 464 and 366 and 43 record in the season

[@retropwned]

22:30 - well.. that's one way to say it.

[@Matt00033]

Can't believe not wearing canucks sweater when we beat the leafs how rude

[@dennis2376]

:)

[@brianstewart2215]

Hayes goal in the 3rd period in Philly was the biggest croc of shit I’ve ever seen. He called it off immediately cause he was going to blow the play dead before they scored which is not reviewable then changed his mind after Crosby reminded the guy in Toronto of the naked pictures that he has of him and we get a magic goalie interference call so they can review it and turn over the call. The call by the way that all 4 refs and linesmen agreed on after a side bar but that’s not good enough😂😂😂

[@andrewdundee5393]

I’m so proud of the Canucks 🙂

[@tinof4237]

14:29 Leafs look to re🧽

[@defaultuser1447]

For anyone that saw the Blues game on TV, did they give any information on the bench minor/unsportsmanlike conduct penalty?

[@woodsie22]

According to the radio, he said some mean words to the ref and didn’t stop after his warning

[@defaultuser1447]

@@woodsie22 Ah, thanks. I figured it was something like that.

[@TheLilokietl]

Is there a possiblity of having a magnet for last period into overtime comebacks? (possibly toronto inspired?)

[@LordSwaminarayanForever]

I think break couldn't have come at a better time for the senators.

[@urban_89]

Wow 15 saves on 20 shots for binning😂, couldnt happen to a better guy😂

[@BoyNamedSue4]

It’s been a long time since the Ducks were .500 this late in the year

[@jamesstemmler7620]

As a Leafs fan AND Canucks fan seeing Demko leave over something so innocuous screams "Canucks Joseph Woll" to me. Just like Leafs fans cringe every time Joseph Woll goes down weird cuz he seems to be made of glass, now Canucks fans gonna get to learn that feeling about Demko.

[@harmony_fm]

That was a clarinet not a sax I think

[@seanpoulton2446]

Both woodwind

[@InsignificantNick]

9:53 💀

[@Hockeyhobo89]

I knew we would lose because of the unstoppable force (Canucks on Saturday) vs the very movable object (Leafs on Saturday)

[@spectacular_clyde259]

I wanna cry… -🔥

[@bogeyt15games55]

Kings aren’t gonna make playoffs at this rate mark my words. Sold my tickets for the game because I knew they weren’t gonna get the job done and I was 100% right. 44 shots on goal and they lose to a team with 25 shots on goal PATHETIC. They should be 3-12 since the new year, last 3 wins were a fluke because teams don’t treat them like a threat anymore (losing to the fucking ducks at home when you are 3 points away from dropping out of playoffs solidified that as truth) THG curse strikes again just like last year. Now doughty can go break his other leg in the 4 nations tournament so he can come back for the first round of playoffs and help us lose with horrible giveaways that directly lead to goals against just like he is doing now.

[@raymondleemanpaper]

I bet the Canucks are now ranked 19

[@DrDetfink]

Score one for the good guys! The New York Rangers keep their playoff hopes alive after Will Cuylle netted x2 to put his team over the top. The Rangers need to go 20-8 in order to make the post season. You can’t expect that with a team who is always, “Next game!”

[@justin46132]

Cuylle actually only netted x1, the 3-3 goal was changed to Vaakanainen (tipped it net front). Either way it was a hell of a shot. Rangers actually just need to go 17-10 to make the postseason at this rate. Wings who hold the WC spot are on pace for 91 points, which means the Rangers would need at least 34 more points. They should obviously do better than that though, don't go for the bare minimum.

[@MarkCMG]

"He may not have known." -- THG 😁 Thanks for the video! Great info, details, and insights! For late Saturday, my guesses included Panthers, yes, Flyers, yes, CBJs, no, Blackhawks, no, Canucks, yes, Sabres, no, Wild, yes, Flames, no, Stars, yes, and Kings, no. 50/50 for the late games after a great matinee performance!

[@mathewspace21]

Panthers threepeat loading up...

[@kaiuche8640]

it’d be a back to back. They didn’t win in 2023, though it would be 3 straight cup appearances

[@Scot-sx3yi]

Yes, Flames, it's a Seattle shirt on THG. A cru-el loss in front of the fans. The 1 point was no relief.

[@EinSofQuester]

Here we go again. Demko is injured again. Probably he will miss the rest of the season and the playoffs

[@JawsHLL]

oof Calgary

[@Crimsonfangg]

No match penalty for everyone on the ice in the sens panthers game? Disappointing.

[@jordanholmes9943]

Let’s go Ducks! It’s been a long time since they were at .500

[@importednascar]

7-5-2

[@brandonsmith5488]

Talking shit on Binner? His DLine is in the damn retirement home. Without that dude the Blues would have let it in like 10

[@RC30019]

Man the Canucks are pretty solid with out Hughes
