      Gotta be honest. Jacking the Jon Bois jazz music / graphics style while presenting a bunch of arbitrary and confusing stats and rating system made this feel like a bit like a cheap bootleg knockoff.
      Creativity can't be copied. The thing that made Jon Bois great was the way he could tell a story through numbers, not the way the video was decorated with any particular genre of music or visual effects. Those were just the icing on the cake. I understand admiring a creator, but imitation isn't flattery if you're just appropriating the aesthetic without the same attention to quality of substance.
      I hope he works on the script writing and finds his own style. I know making these videos take a lot of time and effort, and he's got some skill and taste.

    the 2015 hawks run holds a special place as I was graduating high school that summer and watched several of the games at different friends houses. In hindsight I can't disagree that the fanfare didn't feel as loud as the previous 2, but there was an air where winning the cup kinda felt expected. You could also say that about the 2014 hawks before falling short to LA but that defeat just furthered fueled 2015.

    As a Kings fan (and I’m obviously biased) but we have the two greatest cup runs in league history. Both had the narratives, the emotion, the utter shock it brought everyone to see them of all teams winning in two completely different ways.
    Truly some of my greatest memories.

  • @SuperTugz

    Thank you for acknowledging how great the 2016 Pens were. People don't understand, they would skate circles around and completely crush even the 2017 team from a year later

  • @countof3everybodyOD
    @countof3everybodyOD ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I said this below but I’m counting the 2017 as one of the best, but for all the reasons you said. ‘They probably shouldn’t have won a Cup’ but they did.
    I remember when Letang got hurt everyone doubted they could even make a run to the ECF.
    The only way I can describe what they did is what the NL was known for; playing small ball. They manufactured goals and wins, putting together timely stretches of periods when it mattered most. They all bought in and played a total team game, plus Murray was great.
    In 2016 it felt like they had 3 top lines, but 2017 they scratched and clawed and showed their resilience.
    In fact, the threepeat was only derailed when a combination of running out of gas and Washington finally one upping their big brother and getting over that hump ended it.
    Pinholes I bet you’d admit that 2018 was ten times sweeter for beating the Pens en route
    Edit: and Mario did not sell his soul to the devil! He’s an angel! Lol 😂😂

    Been an avs fan sense they moved to colorado in 96. Winning first year here when I was a kid. Watched the finals in FL. Got busy doing other stuff but start watching again in 18’ I think.. or 19’.. perfect time to pick it back up. And it was insanely fun to watch last year. Just electric. Beating the lightning 7-0 was jaw dropping. Too many fun goals to list. Hope they can find some magic in the playoffs. Their season isn’t as dominant as last but if the stars align they’ll be able to make a very deep run. And if I had to guess they’ll return to challenge for the cup. Probably slightly under par as the favorite but we’ll see how much they want it when round 2 or 3 comes around…

      I know! The team seemed to stumble into the playoffs and kept getting clutch performances from unsung heroes game after game. A far cry from the 2013 dominance, but they were consistently bet against and kept coming out on top. I figured the 2013 run would be higher considering it probably had the best cup winning twists ever. From limping into game 7 to hoisting the cup in less than a minute.

      If those two Cups were so easy to win, why didn't *their* teams do it? If they remain unconvinced by how badly we beat our SCF opponents, then they shouldn't have let Dallas and Montreal beat them.

    It pains me as a Bolts fan to admit the reason Vasilevskiy's saves-above-expected is so high is because our D-men get tunnel-visioned and give up a LOT of breakaways. There was a stretch near the beginning of this season where Sergachev by himself made a *ton* of routine puck handling mistakes that turned into shorthanded goals.
    If we want this team to turn into a true dynasty while the window's still open, and not just a subject of debate on whether our Covid Cups "don't count," that defense has got to tighten up and give Vasy help.

    That 2010 Western Conference Finals is always something I think back on. It's embarrassing to get swept in the Comference Finals, especially if you have home ice advantage. As a Sharks fan, we didn't look like the better team, but we didn't deserve to get swept. Probably should have lost in 5 or 6. Nabokov didn't have a great series, and classic Todd McLellan coaching strategy of simply outshooting the other team came back to bite us. Btw, McLellan still hasn't changed his strategy with the Kings.

U can say series gone either way but the penguins were just the better team period. From skaters to goaltending. Only thing u can say the caps were better in was there head coach Barry trotz being better than Mike Sullivan. Trotz was a more detailed oriented coach which helped and made his defensive style very affective especially with the islanders but other than tht, tht was about it tbh with u….. nice video doe….

    I think you should have done every post lockout Finals, but that’s entirely because I’m a Canes fan, so,massive grain of salt.

    Watched all three of those Blackhawks finals as a kid, and 2015 is definitely my least favorite. 2010 and 2013 were just way more special. 2015 was cool for being at home, but that was about it other than the Anaheim series.

      I'm not a Blackhawks fan but I was rooting for them those years and 15 was impressive to me because of grit it took,clutch as hell and they refused to lose. Also that d core getting carried by Keith and Seabrook was a thing of beauty especially considering they didn't have a bottom pairing

    As a kings fan, 2014 was an absolute nail biter, and is definitely an underrated cup run. It felt like every series could’ve gone either way, and was incredible to watch.

      Honestly if our team never wins again, it’s because we were so fucking spoiled in 2012 and especially 2014. Beat our 3 biggest rivals in game 7’s with a reverse sweep in one of those series and won the cup at home in double ot in a NY/LA series. Like can you even come up with a better script? It’s still hard to believe even nearly 10 years later.

      @@SawiQiFX i'm less convinced the ducks would have beaten Chicago, just by how close that series was. it was basically decided by weird bounces and deflections. no planned attacks broke through for either side. my bigger concern against the ducks was "you can't lose the first matchup against them that we've ever gotten! you'll never get to live that down!" much like nobody will ever let the sharks live down the 3-0 blown series

    As a fellow Capitals fan myself, I kind of wish you would someday consider making this style of video but covering all caps history. Their road to the lone Stanley Cup title is also poetic as they went from being the worst team ever and hoisting the Stanley Can in their first season to being a consistently great team and hoisting the stanley cup against the best expansion team ever.

    I started laughing at how far by themselves into the fun dominant category the 2022 Avs are lol its fitting that it's them and the 08 Wings as probably the most dominant wire to wire teams of the salary cap era

    God this channel is so good. I can’t wait for the day you look at the Penguins and Caps rivalry over the 2010s especially, cuz other than Avs/Red Wings from ‘96-‘02, I think that’s one of the best modern, years spanning rivalries in the NHL.

    People forget how dominant the 2008 Red Wings were. I was initially surprised how low their run was, but in hindsight, they were so dominant that it was hard to think they weren’t going to win it all.

    jk I love this vid, and actually the Caps Cup run was my favorite to watch in the last 15 years. My favorite I've ever watched was the Canes in '06.
    Another great piece of work this is!
