amazing timing and awareness! But they need to let kid learn to play hockey while dfending themselves form the juniors again... this is degenerating in a lost generation vs bullies on ice.

The problem is that players that didn’t believe in a specific cause were being crucified for not taking part. And they should be able to decline participating without being crucified. It was politicizing the game. Everything these days seems to politicized. It’d be nice to get away from that and just enjoy entertainment without any agendas being pushed. I just want to be entertained, I don’t care about your politics. The players’ job is to entertain, not to push their own opinions on people. If you are politically/socially minded, there are other places to get that. An athletic game is not that. I believe the NHL got it right; no special causes, period.

@@csolivais1979 An hockey association like the NHL and USA hockey's primary objective should be to keep players safe by harsh punishments for breaking rules. Yes there are some stupid rules like not wearing "statement helmets" but it reduces the target on players back politically cause terrorism is a thing. With the high stick it should at least be a more significant fine for the pay or at least 2 game suspension. It would discourage players from conducting safety violations.

Kings are 9-0-0 on the road right now and are on a 5 game win streak you should talk about them

[@texasaggie75]

As a long-time (early 80s) Kings fan, I'm ok if they stay lo-pro at this point in the season!

[@ryanfriesen4366]

i had a good laugh at you saying "the lightning are the team to fear" lol

[@svenssy1914]

As a leafs fan I love checking in to know if the parade is on or not

[@alphadog1961]

Usually just one car with the opposition logo and a very annoying horn running out of fuel

My thoughts on fighting in hockey: Imagine watching a boxing match and the boxers, mid-match, went to their corners, were given hockey sticks, met at the center of the ring, the ref dropped a puck, and the two boxers started playing hockey... That would be crazy right? Exactly!

[@joestrunk9663]

love the Edmonton oilers loosing. this team is jammed down our throats all over N America, like were all supposed to cheer for them instead of our own team.

[@pomerlain8924]

I'd argue it's more the Maple Leafs. They are the Cowboys of the NHL.

[@richardkatz8713]

I was an NHL fan Philadelphia Flyers fan until 1977, that's what I saw a game in person and I was turned off by fights. Hockey is one of the best visual games no fights are allowed all the way up through college hockey. When the NHL treats fighting like the NFL and the NBA I will restart watching hockey

[@chelious1973]

The biggest story line is Vasy back in net and with it the Lightning will be cup contenders, or favorites again.

[@lukegervasio0839]

Classic and hard nose hockey,it's like I'm back in the early 2000s and 2010s

[@SaltySnowflakes]

GOOOOOOOOOD. Make hockey good again. hockey needs enforcers

[@TOCC50]

Pride is disgusting

[@choppergunner8650]

Gadjovich is the closest thing we have to an enforcer IMO. Dude went on to initiate fights through 3 consecutive games 😂

[@andrewstubbs4373]

Agree with everyone on the linesman Baker, legend!! Why NHL banning themed nights? It makes games more interesting and with the different jerseys sold makes clubs money and the charities money?!!

[@bl00df4rt]

I really love your detailed breakdowns of team systems and specific players around the league, but I am also really enjoying these re-caps. Keep at it! You're the best in the business right now.

[@KyleMacSkill]

This segment reminds me of Urinating Tree's "This Week in Sportsball". Been wanting to have something like thag for the NHL and you're a great job. Keep up the good work HP

[@imbenny2314]

another week, another no mention of the kings… arguably the second best team in the league right now… ridiculous

[@lancemilliken9078]

Calm down The kings suck any way

[@philippemineau2015]

Wow the ref who was fast enough to protect the player’s head from hitting the ice. Maybe they have a rough time doing their job (though maybe they simply receive trash input from the League, it is a genuine possibility), but that ref did an amazing job there and we should notice it.

[@michaelgnit8476]

I've watched the Leaf's for years as I grew up in Toronto and there is one thing I've noticed certain Leaf players either don't pass or do it rarely and I would suggest they all do it more to create indecision in defensive players minds. Because right now there are a few players who don't give up the puck and teams only have to defend the player not all the players on the ice.

[@jamesburrows7942]

These are awesome. Honestly. One of the few yt videos I look forward to.

[@MultiMdog123]

Trouba could commit double homicide in front of the refs and not get called or suspended it's wild.

[@kud5659]

💯 agree. What a joke.

[@patricklavoie8719]

Thanks for the updates!

[@brandonstriegel3461]

You always snub the kings in these weekly reviews but they are on an absolute tear. They are the real deal

[@cklatt-sautner6745]

You're one of my favourite content creators on this app. Always quality to watch, keep it up man 👍

[@brianmcmillan5647]

hockey has gone down the shitter ever since they fired Don Cherry I have not watched a game since
