Canes are a perfect example of team chemistry and winning culture, finding people who fit into that and putting them in a position to do what they do best. Tom Dundon and Rod Brind'Amour took a team that had missed the playoffs 10 years in a row (TEN!!!) and turned them into one of the best organizations in sports, almost overnight. It's crazy what a difference a good work and team culture makes. Yeah I know...playoffs....but they're basically a .700 team every year now. Unbelievable.
Well, I think what Shannon should have done is bring in Yvonne as a reliever to talk about her Jets and Wild. It's what I would have done if I were Shannon!
@@preppen78 That's not the problem though. Crosby and Malkin (who you could also argue as a generational star) are almost DOUBLE the points of anyone else on the roster. Blame it on management, blame it on players simply not performing, blame it on coaching, but it has nothing to do with the fact that those two are older.
@@preppen78 At least the Raptors know they're not good and are rebuilding although a lot of their games have been fun to watch given how close they have been in so many of those games so far this NBA-NHL regular season. That said, whether the Pens deserve to be last in The Hockey Guy's latest power rankings video, there's no doubt where I would put the Raptors among NBA teams: 30th out of 30.
@@gamingintrospection Yea, I know. It's more about the inevitability of Pittsburgh going from Lemieux, to Crosby, to McKenna (no pressure) than anything else. If they manage to get Hagens in the 2025 draft, they may end up with a similar 1-2 punch for another two decades.
As a bitter Senators fan, Spencer Martin did not get a shutout, the refs got a shutout. As a realist, the Canes deserve the win, and are incredibly talented. As a hockey fan, I really hope Canes go deep in the playoffs, and would love to see Brind'amour and his team make it to the cup finals!
As a Pens fan we’ve been spoiled enough, so I don’t mind that we’re dropping off now. To the future 🍻

@@peterroberts4415 I honestly feel like Shannon is selling Carbery's team a bit short - Caps could easily be a bit higher. Probably that lapse against the Leafs or something.
@@ericlynch9915The goal they called back for “interference” would have made it 1-1. The momentum of the game would have changed dramatically at that point.
You are being generous to the Bruins - and I'm a diehard Bruins fan for life. If you ask me, they belong at 27. If they continue playing like lethargic buffoons for the next week again, drop their asses to 27th, no questions asked. Two of our wins we got lucky and should have lost. This is the same team that stayed in the 1st or 2nd team in the league last year minus a few players, and there is no excuse to play THIS BAD.
The move to Sunday morning seems to have actually eliminated about 90% of the complainers. A few weeks ago I thought it would be fun to track the largest disagreement fanbases but last week it like 3 for Toronto and then 1 each for a few teams. The week before there were two teams with about 10 comments questioning the rankings.
Fun fact: The Bruins are currently the Eastern 2nd wild card team with 19 points. The Flyers, Islanders, Senators, Sabres, and Red Wings all have games in hand to take that spot. The Penguins are also 1 win away from the playoff position though they have currently played one more game than the Bruins.
Like the ‘new’ format with your beautiful assistant! You look good in the Oilers jersey as well, hopefully you will be wearing it for a few weeks, especially if they replicate their run of last season.
The sharks are gonna be a story by the end of the season. With the 'Cuda being an absolute wagon. GmMG is putting on a clinic on rebuilding 101. I'm so glad we're fun to watch again.
Capitals have been really good, but what has really impressed me this week is their ability to bounce back. Tough loss to the Penguins (they will always be tough to beat), then the next night the caps bounce back and destroy the Blues like 8-1. Choked the game vs the leafs, then next game went into Colorado and handled the Avs. This team has proven they are legitimate
10/10 The Hockey Guy with The Hockey Gal for power rankings, would watch again (I mean I've watched for about three years now but this was still a treat)
Canucks fighting to stay in the top half of the league while 12th in standings, 9th in points%, and 2nd in points% in their division, with 3 other members of their same division above them, is pretty funny. After they get the squad back together they gonna be pretty scary.
Hey! So am I! All I dare to hope for from these teams this season is for Crosby to beat Gretzky's record by ending the season over 1 ppg for the 20th time.

I am a lifelong fan of Les Canadiens, (long before anyone called them the Habs) and The Vancouver Canucks. I feel your pain, mate.
love this channel so easy to follow and feels down to earth love the power ranking hope the flyers can sneak into the top half with michkov and fedotov looking great
That Detroit vs Anaheim game was one of the most fun to watch games I've seen in a while. Not exactly a goaltending duel, but run and gun hockey, between two young skilled rosters giving an honest effort. Carolina are just consistently good, play a structured game, and have a way of making any goalie look good; even if they're a Zamboni driver.
Man being a fan of the Pens and the Knights has been something this year. One looks really good while the other looks like they’re competing for the first pick without trying.
Just needed to state. I wish I had a wife who's as supportive about my passion for hockey! And also very cool that she's a Jets fan! Hopefully, Winnipeg will get back on track! Great video, as always!
You got your assistant, wheel of fortune style 😂 also is it just me or your nameplate in the background changed teams? It's MUCH better with a Ducks plate than a Bruins one 😂
Kinda weird how Colorado sky rocketed... I see them extremely comparable to a uth.... NJ should be in bottom half accounting that lose streak. Any streak more then 3 is not good signs of a strong team... any thoughts of firing yezermen. Feels like Ottawa is still building its way even with Buffalo...Detroit always seems to be the bottom of this race. I'm very surprised with how bad mtl is... st Louis should go... maybe next year a healthy reinbacher and a #1G can get then directly to thr playoffs.
Avs have played 12 home games to 6 road games so far. That looks like a one line .500 team, like last year but so far worse. I picked them to win the division, and the big guns are gunning, but they cant play defense.
Good start. I would like to suggest more of a role of Yvonne. She not just places the puck, but picks up all the pucks. THG does the talking. She does the presentation. The hand off was kind too much. My only changes are flipping NJ and FL. Those 2 games were horrible. And Ottawa being further down. Next, how do we get coaches to be traded? I want John Tortorella to be traded to a fringe playoff team like Buffalo, Ottawa, Wings, Colorado, Rangers and either make them win or finally make the playoffs.
Fedotov to Colorado for Georgiev and a center prospect. Cap hits are similar, teams on different trajectories. It could work! And you could do the trade before the game on Monday night! Fedotov just gets on the plane with the Avs after the game.
Always look forward to these! I would’ve had my Kraken sniffing the top half of the row if it were me. Winning four in a row is no small feat with our opponents steadily getting stronger. Beating the Isles was a testament of this teams’ resolve and depth especially with Eberle out.
Thanks for the video! Good job, Yvonne (sp?)! She'll need a sign up top in the background soon. You're being generous with my Blackhawks. Saros is playing well like Mrazek. Mrazek is what happened to the Wild. Good analysis. Canes take the top spot but I don't think they'll hold it. Jets are just too good.
Can’t argue with VGK placement. They got wins against Anaheim and Utah but got destroyed by the Canes. Tonight will be a tough test for them with the surging Caps in town. GKG
New Jersey only plays one game this whole week so by the end their number of games will finally be in parity with the rest of the league and we can actually tell how high in the standings they really are
They will actually play 2 games, and will still have 3-4 more games played than most teams. They finally got dethroned by the Canes as the division leader, meanwhile they have actually been a wildcard for weeks. Their schedule has definitely helped them look better than they truly are, but eventually they will catch up.
To be fair, last week they did beat Washington and while they let the Sharks in, they won. Carolina was humbled by Utah. Not a lot of teams had good weeks.
