Watching THG subscribers with the machine, it was suddenly so clear. The Shannon, would never stop. It would never leave his subscribers, and it would never hurt them, never shout at them, or get drunk and hit them, or say it was too busy to spend time with them. It would always be there. And it would die, to protect them. Of all the would-be KZbin fathers who came and went over the years, this thing, this machine, was the only one who measured up. In an insane world, it was the sanest choice. 🤖🏒😎

[@Killerbeast-hx5qp]

KZbin algorithm randomly recommended this video to me and it’s very interesting to see how much can change (and stay the same) in 3 years

[@FlyboyEz3]

At around the 14 minute mark you hit the nail on the head as to why I enjoy the power rankings now vs 3 years ago when I didn't. Also explains why I am a fan of yours now. Thanks for adjusting your reactionary power rankings to be much more consistent and focused on smaller movements over longer amounts of time. Much more fair and reasonable. You been earning this sub and my likes for over a year now! Glad I was able to have my mind changed, as you are one of the best on KZbin now.

25th for the flames is honestly too high. We are absolutely dog water

[@RiotnRespect]

Shannon has explained how he ranks teams using his system. Don’t worry. I’m sure they’ll continue to drop if they keep playing this way haha

[@Scott_Salmon]

agreed. when he said "i think flames fans can admit they're playing poorly" i was like uh yes, we're in complete meltdown mode. This team should be 29-31 range that's how poorly they're playing and have been playing all season. Only saving grace so far is Marky and the Canucks sucking about as hard.

[@AaronCanb]

You don't just get to 31st or 29th straight away. Ottawa and Vancouver have been absolutely atrocious for weeks. You have to really work to get that low. They just aren't that bad yet, but maybe if they keep going like they have they will be soon.

[@bxrrysykes136]

Truth. It has been a very bad week for the Flames.

[@RiotnRespect]

A restless night for me. I see Shannon posting videos this late/early and I can’t help but smile a bit. Best hockey source out there. It’s not even up for discussion.

[@shawn6745]

Can only play the teams in front of you, and the Leafs are doing the best at that right now. I dont think being number 1 necessarily means they are the best team in the League. Cant really judge that super well with the NHL divisions being the way they are. Think people need to keep that in mind before criticizing Power Rankings.

[@Vossenator]

I'm super thrilled about the Canes right now! I may even go to a game in Raleigh since I live in South Carolina and it's not a long trip.

[@carlhuffman454]

Roger that! Ther Canes look like they're locked in. Shutting out the Bolts last night wasa amazing. Ned dia wonderful job in net.. We can hope that the success continues. GO CANES! SC resident here, too.

[@Laniccal]

Late for me, but I'm gonna stay up to watch this! Thanks Shannon

[@d.c.courtney4953]

This Hawks team is fun. Feels like the year or so before the first cup run, when the team was all about these talented young up and coming stars. The main difference is that now we a veteran version of Patrick Kane who is still one of the best wingers in the world. I can't wait to see what next year looks like when Dach and (hopefully) Toews are back.

[@nathanjohnson2382]

We got a pretty tough division in the actual central division. I see us fighting for the 3rd spot, but we just need to add small pieces during the offseason. I got a feeling we going to see consist playoffs in the coming seasons

[@nothankyou7729]

If you heard a distant gasp, it was me reacting to the reveal of the Bruins magnets at 2nd

[@DMG_208]

I think COL should be top 2. Beating VGK 2 outta 3, especially with 1 of those games missing 5 keys starting players and the 1 loss being right after our COVID lay off. The AVS are starting to turn it back up again and Grubby is playing lights out. I would this COL team against BOS & TB and say with a lot of confidence that the AVS win. Thanks for all the amazing hockey videos!! By far the best and most accurate hockey channel on YT. We appreciate everything!!

[@NasonJPR]

Damn. I think I prefer feeling Shannon slighted the Leafs. Now I'm pretty sure we'll fall apart LOL I think I commented a week back that I was more worried about the Oilers in the North than the Habs. They get average goaltending and secondary scoring and they're a real problem. As if having McDavid and Draisaitl (sp?) is fair to begin with.

[@vacayooper4728]

[@chaviraruben]

What makes me happy is that in the end, it’s a rebuild year and the Kings current roster is still competitive. Byfield/Turcotte/Fagemo/Durzi/Kupari/etc haven’t even made their NHL debuts yet and those are the blue chip prospects still in the AHL. In the end, the Coyotes and Wild are what they are. All their young talent is already up and the Ducks have Zegras/Drysdale but who knows when they’ll be up. Thanks for the Kings love

[@brendendionne7793]

That top five represents the five best rosters in the league imo and the records reflect that

[@fouronetwo813]

Looks like the front office shake up has sparked the Pens. Especially Malkin and Letang. Maybe it's just coincidence but they've both started shooting the puck more. Malkin still derps around and his line is a major liability at times. Much improved play though.
