as a habs fans i’m so excited for this season bc i have no real expectations. like i’m not expecting us to tank for the draft and i’m not expecting to make the playoffs. i just want to see the young guys develop and watch the team’s chemistry grow. i just want to watch my boys play some fun hockey. we’re entering the next stage of the rebuild and it’s really exciting

I only started watching hockey to chirp my friends’ favourite team (Leafs) but your videos make me want to watch the NHL full time. Great work and can’t wait for the west edition
Best hockey channel out there ! Even though I’ve been watching since 2006, I’ve learned more about strategy and structure in the past year from you ! My EASHL play definitely improved too, which is what really matters lol
Went to the VGK preseason opener last night and saw the touching Gaudreau tribute + video package live on the big screen. Then I catch up with this video and see the ending, including Johnny's series winner with Calgary and now I'm emotional again. I can't imagine what the home opener in Columbus is going to be like but for sure a lot of tough guys are gonna be broken all over again because it's all still so raw for everyone. Thanks again for the content. Your channel is fantastic, even when it keeps reminding me about the many failures both modern and old from my beloved NYR. Hoping for at least one more glorious run in the reminder of my lifetime, that's all I ask.
That Gaudreau highlight at the end, as much as I'm still pissed that he left us high and dry for Columbus, sent shivers down my spine. What a memory. And then we immediately lost to the Edmonton clowns in 5 games the next round.
Flyers fan here. I'm very optimistic about this season despite the collapse last year. They had great possession numbers last year. They just didn't have the firepower. Hopefully with another year of guys like Tippett, Foerster, Brink with implementing Michkov can help our goal scoring. I feel decent about the defense, but even better if Drysdale is healthy and takes a step. Goaltending and special teams will be the big x-factors in determining whether we have a shot at the playoffs.
Got to go and see the Sabres pre-season opener, and holy shit I’ve never wanted hockey back so bad until this year. I was getting up and excited over pre season goals. It was nice to see Buffalo have some pep in their step and actually try. I can’t wait for normal season puck drop.
Solid, solid video. You always nail it. Astute, intelligent, well crafted, & made with heart. Loved that finish. R.I.P. to the Gaudreau brothers Last, I despise those Penguins & Mr. Crosby but any star athlete could learn a lot from him.
Both of these previews were excellent. I particularly liked the brief tactical explanations but they were very... brief and quick. Any chance you can do more specific videos on this stuff? Keep up the great work 👍
As a Stars fan, that absolute snipe broke my heart. It shouldnt have been for the last time. Gone far too soon Johnny and Matt Gaudreau. Hug your loved ones and share this great game with them!!!
If I hadn't 1/100th of the knowledge that you possess about the NHL, I would win my fantasy league every year. Thank you for what you do. I greatly appreciate your videos.
Love your videos. I feel like your take on Buffalo is off, as a Sabres fan defense and goaltending kept them together last year but couldn’t score for shet. I’m excited with the new bottom 6 too but I agree Atlantic is tough this year
Hockey is just around the corner and I am HERE FOR IT. I am a Leafs fan but I have a really good feeling about the New Jersey Devils this year. I don't know if they have enough experience to make a deep cup run but I can see them taking the Presidents trophy this season.
I’m so damn excited for this season. Wings/Panthers fan. Kaner and Raymond with 90 point seasons and we sneak into playoffs while Panthers repeat a championship.
I have a friend who’s a big Dallas Stars fan. He actually teared up when we talked hockey recently and said “I’d happily watch Johnny beat us over and over again if it meant he could come back.” 😔
That last couple seconds of Johnny Hockey scoring that goal is bringing tears to my eyes . it just sucks to lose a guy like that . & as a Yinzer … the greatest player in the game STILL - Sidney Patrick Crosby - taking a Mount Rushmore-esque (using double-positives for this guy hint hint) pay cut for his team while he’s still @ the top of his game … brings another tear - that’s a guy who looked @ his contract situation & after Johnny Hockey maybe… life can be short … & maybe he thought money wasn’t as important as the love for the game of Hockey & winning … you don’t get the nickname “Johnny Hockey” in a mass league of hockey players without actually having true love for the game … which Sid does … more than most ..
The goal for the Habs this season is 82 pts by season's end. (NHL 500) Anything more is house money. A playoff appearance is as likely as winning Hold 'Em with 7/2 off. Possible but unlikely
The Habs are making the playoffs this year, 7th spot, first round against the Bruins Source: Laine, Slafkovsky, Caufield, Suzuki, Newhook, Armia, Hutson, Matheson, Guhle, Montembeault, Xhekaj brothers, you're underestimating how well rounded this team has already became, last year was a mess because we played too many goalies, Kirby Dach was hurt, Anderson had a rough year, but yeah, im a fan, im a believer GO HABS GO!!
Not sure if the Habs will make it this year, but I agree that many are sleeping on them given their low finishes recently, completely overlooking the bloodbath of injuries they have suffered the last 3 years (broke the NHL record 2 years in a row! 🤯). If they can just stay on the positive side of injury average, they will at least have a good shot at a wildcard, IMO. Or at least a close race to the end of the season… Will be fun!
@@ojibwe_86at risk of feeding the trolls…. 🙄 Keep thinking that if you like. I will respectfully disagree about the defense, I am sure they have at least 1 or 2 eventual top 2 defense between Reinbacher, Mailloux, Guhle and Hutson, they are just young. For the second line, Laine is only a couple years removed from 3 consecutive 30+ goal seasons and is appears to be past his personal issues, along with a #3OA pick (Dach) who has been a bit of a late bloomer, improving since they picked him up before suffering a season ending injury last year, however by all reports so far he is back 100%. Next year Demidov will join them and they will really be cooking. Their goaltending last year was above average, solid but nothing fantastic. They also have a very promising prospect in Fowler coming down the pipe, which could be ready by the time they are ready to try to make a run in 2 or 3 years. In their first exhibition last night, they beat Philly 5-0 with arguably their “B team” on the ice (no Suzuki / Caufield / Slaf or Montembeault), and their stars like Laine didn’t even score. Nobody is saying they will be dominant or not even a favorite to qualify for the playoffs, but just that they should not be written off as a given for last in the Atlantic as everyone seems to be doing… 🙄 The uncertainty is what makes hockey exciting to watch. 🙂
@@kevinsargent6282 oh boy, here we go again with another round of Habs prospects. I remember when Habs fans were raving about …. Juulsen, Sergachev, Mete, Romanov, Struble. These are just the defenseman that were once touted by fans to be the next nucleus of the team. This isn’t a playoff team for at least the next three to four years, and even then other Eastern Conference teams are getting better. There is NO true top 2 defenseman currently playing for Montreal. Now, there are other teams in the league that also don’t have a true top 2 dman, it’s not only the Habs.
Florida and Carolina will always be solid because of the systems they have in place. Obviously, it helps to have great players, but it's not completely necessary. If you look at Carolina, they haven't had a star player for years, yet they still perform well. Florida is different, but they just have to buy into the system.
The Panthers last year they weren't as deep as a team on paper to the year before, but won the cup. This year they seem to be a little less deeper again loosing key players due to salary cap, but again showing they have the potential to make another cup run. The system they have right now with Paul Maurice works, and now it is even perfected even more. This team can go deep again if they stay healthy. Last year they had tons of depth, not as much this year so staying healthy will be key for them. I will say, they need to clean it up defensively a bit more if they want to win it again. Last year they were a powerhouse in that department, this year not so much. But it's still early in the season so we'll see.
I think people are underestimating the wings this year. Are they gonna be 1st in the East? No. But they got a pretty solid line up and a good selection of youth to try our.
Leafs fan here, this is my take on Matthew’s getting captain. Short answer not my favorite play. Honestly he’s a great player scored a ton but he just doesn’t function in times where he needs to, like the playoffs. From what I’ve watched I think nylander is more fit for that position after last season. Otherwise I think the off season moves we made we pretty decent but round 1 against the bruins will tell us.
@@Un-Named-Man straw man, I never said anything about Matthews. Just that Nylander is not fit to wear the C. (And I do have my doubts about Matthews as well; I do not like the longtime hockey "give the C to the most talented player" thing because leadership qualities and scoring talent are not intrinsically linked.)
People keep making those same points about the Hurricanes, but they all forget that Pyotr Kochetkov exists and is likely going to be the functional starter, he played most of the games last year and was exactly what the Canes needed. They also forget that Jarvis is moving from the 3rd line with Staal and Martinook to the 1st line with Aho. Necas, Svechnikov, Jarvis, and Aho are all likely to improve this season, and there are some very promising rookies coming into the system. Defensively, they lost Pesce and Skjei for Walker and Ghostisbeher, but it's more likely that Chatfield and Orlov are the new 2nd pair. The ONLY questions with the Hurricanes are: Who's going to be the 2nd line center, and will Kochetkov or Andersen be the starter on paper. Kochetkov is starting more games than Andersen, I guarantee it. Based on practices, 1st line will likely have Aho with Jarvis and a defensively reliable forward. 2nd line will be Necas with Svechnikov and a center who can screen the goalie, likely Kotkeniemi, which would be fine because he's reliable defensively, has a bigger body than he looks, and Svechnikov with Necas will handle the scoring.
I am not sure if Kochetkov is "there" yet as a top-level goalie. I think he's better than Andersen (thought I'm not a fan of Andersen and I thought he was a major factor in our elimination vs the Rangers), but in my opinion it will take Kochetkov another year or two before he's at the level where he can bail out a bad game or two in the playoffs like an elite goaltender could. I will be happy to be proven wrong, however. I still feel we lack a "superstar" game-changing kind of player. I really like Aho and he is excellent, and I like how the team has well-distributed scoring across multiple lines (which is a good thing come playoff time), but I don't feel like Aho or Svechnikov is at the top-tier level where they can change a game the way that a Crosby, Kucherov, regular-season Matthews, or a MacKinnon could. In terms of defense, I think we're "worse" (maybe "less good" is a better way to phrase it) than we were last season on a per-player basis, but if the new guys can adjust to the system I think it will be less of an impact than one might initially expect due to the quality of defensemen that moved on over the summer.
Any predictions for the start of the season? Btw, I absolutely LOVE this channel! I've been spamming my friends with your videos since I discovered it this summer. You have a life long fan in me from now on.
I just wanna say cus I'm sure everyone's forgotten. But the comment on Detroit missing the playoffs "because" philly pulled their goalie in a tied game. You probably forgot philly was in the hunt too but their win conditions where much worse and if that game had gone to overtime they would have missed out on the playoffs anyway. They needed to get the regulation win and so they gambled and pulled the goalie to try and get a game winning goal in the last minutes of the third period.
I think the player who has the best chance of winning the Calder this year is Shane wright, was a ppg player in the a last year up until his injury and was excellent at the end of the season when he was called up, I think this year will be his coming out party
I don't think he's eligible. A player isn't eligible if they played 25 games in the preceding season, or "six or more games in each of any two preceding seasons" and Wright has 8 NHL games in each of the past two seasons.
Hey as a bolts fan I’ll just say I definitely hate the move from stammer but I also love the teams commitment to winning and am still excited as shit for the season. Go bolts ⚡️⚡️
i'm not a huge Ottawa Senators fan and I'm not too too up-to-date on their current roster, but just seeing Jacques Martin at the helm again and a new goalie with huge expectations on his shoulders… I think it's going to be another disaster in Ottawa this year. if you can't win with Brady could chuck enclosure and all these seemingly productive forwards and defenseman, I'm just not confident that Uhlmark will be the saving grace of this franchise.
that analysis of carberry doing a brilliant job with the CAPS offense -after saying they were the worst team to ever make the playoffs and had the worst goal differential- by saying that he allows Ovie to stand on the blue line (with no momentum) and let the other four guys do the work is wild. i think it is my first total disagreement with your usually apt takes.
For the Rangers, you should’ve mentioned they had the most comeback wins in the entire league with 27. That’s a huge number. If they lose half of these games next year, they aren’t a top 3 or 5 team. Come on Hockey Psychology, you can do it.
Sorry everyone. Travis Green is the coach of Ottawa now. For that mistake…. It now means I have to take a shot😂

I think people are underestimating the wings this year. Are they gonna be 1st in the East? No. But they got a pretty solid line up and a good selection of youth to try our.
Leafs fan here, this is my take on Matthew’s getting captain. Short answer not my favorite play. Honestly he’s a great player scored a ton but he just doesn’t function in times where he needs to, like the playoffs. From what I’ve watched I think nylander is more fit for that position after last season. Otherwise I think the off season moves we made we pretty decent but round 1 against the bruins will tell us.
The same Nylander who drags ass "backchecking" and making line changes and backs out of puck battles along the boards? Not captain material.
@@jsquared1013 Matthew’s that shits down in the playoffs and can’t score for shit? That’s captain material?
@@Un-Named-Man straw man, I never said anything about Matthews. Just that Nylander is not fit to wear the C. (And I do have my doubts about Matthews as well; I do not like the longtime hockey "give the C to the most talented player" thing because leadership qualities and scoring talent are not intrinsically linked.)
Let’s go caps!
I love your vids, but Travis Green is the coach of the sens now not Martin
People keep making those same points about the Hurricanes, but they all forget that Pyotr Kochetkov exists and is likely going to be the functional starter, he played most of the games last year and was exactly what the Canes needed. They also forget that Jarvis is moving from the 3rd line with Staal and Martinook to the 1st line with Aho. Necas, Svechnikov, Jarvis, and Aho are all likely to improve this season, and there are some very promising rookies coming into the system. Defensively, they lost Pesce and Skjei for Walker and Ghostisbeher, but it's more likely that Chatfield and Orlov are the new 2nd pair.
The ONLY questions with the Hurricanes are: Who's going to be the 2nd line center, and will Kochetkov or Andersen be the starter on paper. Kochetkov is starting more games than Andersen, I guarantee it.
Based on practices, 1st line will likely have Aho with Jarvis and a defensively reliable forward. 2nd line will be Necas with Svechnikov and a center who can screen the goalie, likely Kotkeniemi, which would be fine because he's reliable defensively, has a bigger body than he looks, and Svechnikov with Necas will handle the scoring.
I am not sure if Kochetkov is "there" yet as a top-level goalie. I think he's better than Andersen (thought I'm not a fan of Andersen and I thought he was a major factor in our elimination vs the Rangers), but in my opinion it will take Kochetkov another year or two before he's at the level where he can bail out a bad game or two in the playoffs like an elite goaltender could. I will be happy to be proven wrong, however.
I still feel we lack a "superstar" game-changing kind of player. I really like Aho and he is excellent, and I like how the team has well-distributed scoring across multiple lines (which is a good thing come playoff time), but I don't feel like Aho or Svechnikov is at the top-tier level where they can change a game the way that a Crosby, Kucherov, regular-season Matthews, or a MacKinnon could.
In terms of defense, I think we're "worse" (maybe "less good" is a better way to phrase it) than we were last season on a per-player basis, but if the new guys can adjust to the system I think it will be less of an impact than one might initially expect due to the quality of defensemen that moved on over the summer.
Any predictions for the start of the season? Btw, I absolutely LOVE this channel! I've been spamming my friends with your videos since I discovered it this summer.
You have a life long fan in me from now on.
I just wanna say cus I'm sure everyone's forgotten. But the comment on Detroit missing the playoffs "because" philly pulled their goalie in a tied game. You probably forgot philly was in the hunt too but their win conditions where much worse and if that game had gone to overtime they would have missed out on the playoffs anyway. They needed to get the regulation win and so they gambled and pulled the goalie to try and get a game winning goal in the last minutes of the third period.
I live to see Ovi fail in his quest for the scoring title. I legit don't think he'll get it this season, but I bet he'll get close.
I think the player who has the best chance of winning the Calder this year is Shane wright, was a ppg player in the a last year up until his injury and was excellent at the end of the season when he was called up, I think this year will be his coming out party
I don't think he's eligible. A player isn't eligible if they played 25 games in the preceding season, or "six or more games in each of any two preceding seasons" and Wright has 8 NHL games in each of the past two seasons.
Hey as a bolts fan I’ll just say I definitely hate the move from stammer but I also love the teams commitment to winning and am still excited as shit for the season. Go bolts ⚡️⚡️
00:23 that's almost a wrist shattered in 12 million pieces of bone
this will be the greatest hockey chelly season of all time rip johnny hockey its all for you
i'm not a huge Ottawa Senators fan and I'm not too too up-to-date on their current roster, but just seeing Jacques Martin at the helm again and a new goalie with huge expectations on his shoulders… I think it's going to be another disaster in Ottawa this year. if you can't win with Brady could chuck enclosure and all these seemingly productive forwards and defenseman, I'm just not confident that Uhlmark will be the saving grace of this franchise.
Gotta have the West Edition...please!~!
We love your vids man keep it up
that analysis of carberry doing a brilliant job with the CAPS offense -after saying they were the worst team to ever make the playoffs and had the worst goal differential- by saying that he allows Ovie to stand on the blue line (with no momentum) and let the other four guys do the work is wild. i think it is my first total disagreement with your usually apt takes.
Penguins making it to the playoffs!
Rest in peace Johnny and Matthew 🕊️
Buffalo having a good football team and hockey team would be a Buffalo baby boom😂🎉
For the Rangers, you should’ve mentioned they had the most comeback wins in the entire league with 27. That’s a huge number. If they lose half of these games next year, they aren’t a top 3 or 5 team. Come on Hockey Psychology, you can do it.
Great channel! 👊
Welcome back my least hated leaf fan.
It hurts me immensely that the clip of Buffalo scoring in the opening is Jeff Skinner. I so hope he lights Edmonton up this season 😢
when are you starting a podcast??🤔
Martin isn’t HC in Ottawa anymore, they hired Travis Green who has never found much success as an NHL HC
They've since fired Green and hired fat Mark Ruffalo
“Took a video that looked like he went to heaven” 😂
