If you would've told me that the Ducks would have a higher points percentage than the Rangers at this point in the year I would've laughed in your face.
6:45 "2 Canadian Teams with an A, I caught Winnipeg this time" as the Leafs are right there with an A as well! Great post, thanks for everything you do THG!
Devs should be B+ or A, they are meeting expectations and much better than last season. The road trip is some recency bias for the B I think. The week before the holiday break they held what like 5 teams to less than 15 shots per game, he definitely hates the devils (I’m joking)
Columbus even being close to playoffs after what we've delt with over the last 2 years is amazing. Cant ask for more from a bunch of kids and some spare parts... and also Werenski.
Giving out minuses and pluses would have made your job a little easier. For example a B+ for Jersey and an A- for the Oilers would have been accurate and less stressful for ya
Columbus this year is what last year's Arizona was to me. Whether they win or not, they are playing hard and tend to keep themselves in the games. They have only an -8 point differential being 6 OT losses below .500. If they're playing, I'm watching unless my team is playing.
Is the "no palm trees in buffalo" line going to be the running gag of the season for the sabres if something goes wrong from now on? To me it's almost like the "I didn't do it" skit from the Simpson's
If I was a Buffalo fan I'd buy a palm tree, go to the arena at night and find a place to plant it in a prominate position. Or if you want to be sneaky about it then buy some hardy palm tree seeds and plant them around the arena and city. 🌴 🤲 🌴 🏒 🦬 💰
@@modeisin7the only reason they are close is Wolf. They are bottom third of the league in all major statistical categories except….goaltending! In goaltending categories they rank anywhere from first to 10th.
As an Avs fan I am 100% rooting for the ducks to get back into the playoffs. Same with San Jose. I think it comes from being a hockey fan in general and it's hard to not root for the underdogs. I can't really explain it either 🤣
I feel like grading the Canucks is hard. They are doing substantially worse but a grade is representative of effort too. Amd the team as a whole has just been absolutely cripples this year. Multiple stretches of being out most of the top line and down 30 million in injured salary.
8:00: A "+" in the grading for the Canes. I was thinking earlier that based on expectations before the season, the Washington Capitals should be an A+. NO ONE could have predicted this, let alone with Ovechkin missing so much time.
Devils fan here. I’m very Ok with the Devils continually being overlooked. I don’t want that first place power ranking bad juju. Nor the A grade. The more people don’t see us Comin, the better!
I just think they are performing up to expectations. The start we had this year I think shifted expectations too far towards being a top contender again.
Thanks for the video! It's true there is a higher floor but a higher ceiling which suggests, if you crunch the numbers, more overtime and SO points, since wins and losses are an otherwise quantifiable number. what are the total points by all teams now relative to this time last year? So the Sharks are one grade behind the Devils?
Vegas is like that one student in a class where the teacher grades on a curve. All the other students hate him because he does so well on the tests that he ruins the grading curve, making it like there is no curve.
Thanks as always for the great videos, THG. There's a madness board I'd love to see, but I don't know that you or anyone else would have any interest: A look at how teams rank using measures besides record and points percentage. The three measures I had in mind were Regulation Record (stripping out OT/SO wins & losses), Doug Moe Standings (used in basketball, +1 for a road win, -1 for a home loss, all other results discarded), and something to do with goals for & against (inspired by the Pythagorean Theorem of Baseball, which I think is a strong predictor of future success).
I think you were a bit harsh on Utah. New city, new everything, and they got better through all of that. Not saying their world beaters but i'm rooting for them. And the Wild. GO WILD!!
up till mid december it really felt like the Avs were going to implode this year. Halfway through they are still around top 10 and only 5 points behind the Jets/Wild. Panic is gone, and it feels like the season is just getting started!
I don't mean this in any negative way, but I feel like this would be a good video to have grouped by division instead of listed by standing just so all the A's aren't at the beginning. Keeps it a little more interesting.
The B is appropriate for the Habs. I didn't expect them to contend for the playoffs this year, but do expect next year, when everyone will be just a little bit better. I think the most important thing is they work hard every game and they seem to be having fun. Marty is the right coach for them now.
I think if you did this in a month detroit will be at least a c+ or a B due to mclellan. They are scoring like they used to last year but are allowing way fewer shots than they did last year which is helping them win
The grading system in different states/provinces/countries is always interesting to me. In my district, A was 91-100, B 81-90, C 71-79, D 70, and F 69 and below. It's wild to me that a failing grade in some places was 39 and below.
Wow. In what crazy world is an F At 70? 😮 Well in elementary schools I think that would be insanely crazy. The most common scale I saw for elementary was 100-85 A( A+ to A-) , 84-70 was B+ to B-, 69-60 was C+ down to C-) 59-50 D+ to D- and anything 49 and lower was an F. To me, it just made sense that an F started under 50%
I think you were right Shannon- Carolina deserves a C/C+, they should be judged a little more harshly because of what the team has shown they are capable of. You are very generous with the B, I think we are honestly a C-
Ok the Devils and Avs being two of my teams and getting the only Bs in the first coloumn clearly shows Shannon has it out for me 😂 Edit: ok he changed Carolina i feel a bit better
To answer the question of what is funnier handing out as or fs, definitely fs, it will be the same problem either way, but who doesn’t love a roast fest?
The Stars have really started to rally and play better since the lines got adjusted. Considering how snakebit some of the guys have been, nobody is getting frustrated or cheating for offense. I feel like this midseason adversity will be good for them down the stretch.
This would be my guide towards my report standards. As an additional grade, I would add effort levels like my high-school did of 1,2,and 3. 1 was for outstanding effort, 2 was for adequate performance, and 3 was for giving no effort whatsoever. Based upon performances so far, I would have given my team (Habs) a C1 grade, not the B that Shannon gave them. Grade A - +65% Grade B - 55-64% Grade C - 49-54% Grade D - 40-48% Grade E - 0-39% I think that it makes things more interesting. 😊❤❤❤😊
Confused about the Sharks getting a C tbh. They're rebuilding so incredibly well. Their poor winning percentage this season is a huge plus, not a minus. I'd assume next season they will actually start trying to win games (and thus lean more on Askarov).
As a Cats fan, we need to be in C-. Offense has grinded to a halt ever since the back-to-back Tampa games, and we can't score for the life of us. Nobody looks right, except the goalies. None of it are their fault. We don't look like cup champs nor a team that goes past the 1st round
No need to apologize to Seattle fans. The Kraken have been vacillating between frustratingly inconsistent and straight up bad this season. They've earned every bit of that D.
Tweaks I'd make: Edmonton B, Calgary B, Rangers F, Preds D-. I know you're not doing Fs on here, but the Rangers have so dramatically underperformed. They were supposed to be in President's Trophy contention, instead they're in James Hagens contention
* Some fans teams get an A * How dare you Shannon!! * Some fans teams get a B * How dare you Shannon!! * Some fans teams get a C's * How dare you Shannon!! * Some fans teams get a D * How dare you Shannon!! You know what.. E for everyone. Nobody's ever happy.
Surprised the the Rangers did not get an F based on the massive regression. A little surprised that Chicago got a D based on their spending spree for veterans, then lack of any better results.
Panthers are playing like a D+ or C- right now. Without Bob, it might even be worse. This current form is hard to watch, because I know how good they actually are when they’re digging in.
Pains me to say this as a Kings fan, but I think the Ducks deserve a B. They are improving quite a lot lately, and they might get a decent return from Gibson (more than likely a prospect + a pick) to help them make a run next year.
Wow. In what crazy world is an E or F At 70? 😮 Well in elementary schools I think that would be insanely crazy. For one we never heard of an E grade. The most common scale I saw for elementary was 100-85 A( A+ to A-) , 84-70 was B+ to B-, 69-60 was C+ down to C-) 59-50 D+ to D- and anything 49 and lower was an F.

Hurricanes gonna do great in the 2nd half. They always do good as playoffs approach Now that I said it tho, oof. I also said Predators were going to be in the Finals this year 😬
I understand the Hurricanes being a C+ or a B, but that .677 Pts percentage is their whole years pts percentage. They had a far worse start to their season last year than they do this year. BUT I am flattered by his high expectations. Last year started with the Western losing streak, and then a horrible December until Kochetkov became the main goalie right around New Years.
Feeling pretty disappointed with the Kraken. Supposedly better on paper than last year but not performing. Beniers hasn't looked the same since his second concussion, everyone i-told-you-so'ing with Stephenson and his metrics looking terrible yet he's our 4th best points producer. Most of the original draftees looking old and slow but our rookies aren't really stepping up (yet?). The problem is I don't see the next year or two being much better :(.
Ugh ... report card day .
I’m nervous and I’m 3 seconds in 😂. I feel like I handed in a bunch of projects late! (I’m a Habs fan lol)

The Flames should be a B, C+ was nice, but they are a team that wasn't expected to be as close as they are.
But like a few years ago the only reason they are so close is because of the OT loss points

So proud of the Canadiens rising on the board. Go Habs!
Funny how all three teams Shannon roots for are clumped together 😂😂

A panic power index with the standings
HAS TO BE DONE
That would be an INSANE VIDEO
That April 1 idea is a true chaos board
Preds fan here, hoping we just keep losing at this point and get us a top 3 pick that we literally never get.
Not sure the Canes are just a C+ - maybe a B-/B. As my report card said “not performing up to their potential “
They had a much worse first half last year than they are this year. Their second half was unreal
I just think they are performing up to expectations. The start we had this year I think shifted expectations too far towards being a top contender again.
Heck yes Shannon is becoming a believer of the ducks. Thanks for doing these types of videos they are definitely interesting 😊

Nice to see a major outlet (you're major, let's be real) taking points percentage seriously!! Let's see some more RAPM popularity next :9

I don't mean this in any negative way, but I feel like this would be a good video to have grouped by division instead of listed by standing just so all the A's aren't at the beginning. Keeps it a little more interesting.
Hey just saying, if you’re looking historically, didn’t the devils have like a .49 p% last season? That’s a massive jump for us, no?

April 1 video idea; Grading all teams in reverse order of what you did here, giving all teams an F and seeing at what point/team people clue in.
Power Rankings University, you sir get an emeritus A 🤣
I think if you did this in a month detroit will be at least a c+ or a B due to mclellan. They are scoring like they used to last year but are allowing way fewer shots than they did last year which is helping them win
As a VGK fan, i didn't expect them to be this good as well. My guess was they were going to be a team fighting for a wild card spot like last year
They were one of the last teams to lose a game at the beginning of last season so I wouldn’t rule it out
Idk man Vegas has plot armor or something. They're so good 😂
They were +1000 to win the cup to start the season what are you on about, you guys lost like 2 good players
@Doctorboster He said his personal feeling, not the feelings of odds makers, goober
as a vegas fan i thought the same thing, if they can stay healthy i can see them winning another cup they are on a roll

If i remember correctly here when I was in Indiana school A was 100-92 B 91-86 C 85-80 D 79-75 F 74-0

Agree for the most part, except I would give the Canucks a solid C. I think theC-minus Is a bit harsh, considering the injuries.
Guys Jets are Canadian again!!
Dang. I thought it would have been hilarious for them to win the Cup before they were counted as Canadian again. 🤣🤣🤣
Good year from the Wild so far, I'm expecting us not to go up any higher, but we could possibly maintain the pace. That'd be good.

Not sure the hesitancy of giving an A to Oilers, the only other A team that would be questionable for them to beat in series currently is Vegas.
When I was in school an E would be anything less than 50%, a D would be 50-59.99% and barely a passing grade.
THG is doing his best Operah impression… You get an A, and you get an A, and you get an A, everybody get’s an A… except you Devils….

The Devils should be an A-. Improving > .100 is impressive.

a D for the rangers is generous imo, maybe im just a bitter biased fan but this season has been an F at best
The Stars have really started to rally and play better since the lines got adjusted. Considering how snakebit some of the guys have been, nobody is getting frustrated or cheating for offense. I feel like this midseason adversity will be good for them down the stretch.
Holy fuck only 10 teams below .500 atm. No wonder its so hard to win the Stanley Cup.
The Red Wings under Lalonde were a flat out F but under McLellan, they've been at least an A-.

Grade E - 0-39%
