There needs to be a way to just subscribe to the 32 Thoughts Podcast in TH-cam, instead of it being mixed in with the rest of the SportsNet stuff. (I know, I could probably do it on another platform, but I never check those and always end up missing them.) Great episode.
I'd recommend you check out Real Kyper & Bourne. They're a little more Leafs-focused, but they do cover other things around the league too. I think their best aspect is the regular roster of guests they have on.
@@danieldosso2455 Yeah I watch them too, and same could be said that I wish they had their own TH-cam channel and I'd probably subscribe. There's just so much other crap on this SportsNet channel that I refuse to subscribe and get dozens of notification that I don't care about daily.
I don’t mind extended playoffs I just wish it could only be 1 team each conference. 4 more payoff teams does sound ridiculous. We have 32 teams now, it was never only half the league that made the playoffs so an adjustment isn’t a bad idea. They’re talking about bringing in 2 more teams even..
Why would expanded playoffs help anything? There’s already half the league that makes it. And way more likely than not. None of the teams at the bottom of the playoff bracket have a real hole in winning the cup. Just wouldn’t be worth it.
The problem was/is expansion. Most fans/cities will never see their team win the cup in their lifetimes. To me, this is a serious problem. The habs wouldn't have 24 cups if they had always played with 31 other teams. More expansion will destroy the league in my opinion. The NHL is simply too greedy and will always go for the money. The only solution I see going forward is to create a tiered league (similar to soccer), where only 15-20 teams compete for the chance to make the playoffs to win the cup, and the rest of the teams play in a "B" division and make the "B" playoffs, and don't play for the cup. Plus, the quality of hockey is watered down these days. A lot of AHL level teams in the NHL right now. That's my 32 cents. Cheers
Kyle Dubas trading Guentzel will go down as one of if not the worst trades in hockey history. He literally robbed us of the last playoff run of the one of greatest hockey clubs of all time.
EXPANDED PLAYOFFS? NO. Why are you ruining hockey. This is perfect. Only half the teans make it. That's what makes the games meaningful and fun. Really disappointed in this terrible hockey take. Terrible.
Goalies should never win the Hart IMO. Trying to compare the "value" of a goalie to a forward in nearly impossible. The goalie is almost always more important. I know that is ruined by Hasek and Roy's wins, but making mistakes in the past doesn't mean you should continue to make them .
NO to expanded playoffs, the regular season is 82 games long!!! half the teams make sense, we don't need watered down playoffs that last more than 2 months as is. Look at the goal differentials and you'll see all you need. Top 12 way into plus. few more lucky to make it in.
To. For me the question is how much has the quality of the league diminished. Tired of watching defenders that play the puck instead for the man, tired of watching forwards that can’t hit an open net. Most teams have 1 maybe 2 lines that are worth watching. The rest is poor play
@@HabsTypeBeat Why? Who cares if it's always been over 50%? There's no excuse for a) a 2-month playoff and b) garbage teams making the regular season irrelevant just so some space cases can get their fix
@@GoodMenstruationAttitude There are teams missing the playoffs who are just as good or close to as good as a few of the teams that will make the playoffs.

@danieldosso2455 the 1st hour of Kyper and Bourne is called Leafs Hour. After that, they talk about the rest of the league.
@@danieldosso2455 A little more leafs focused lol? They are a leafs podcast with a bit of the league wide talk springled in at the the end
Maybe unsubscribe and just check their 32 thoughts playlist every other day or so? Hope that could help
Matt Martin of the Islanders also does not wear a visor. He signed after the season started, so perhaps that is why he slipped through the cracks.
no on extended playoffs. stupid. just change the points system

Elliotte's buddy Hanson Brothers story is too funny (40:00). Is there a video out there when this happened??
T.I.A.
The Blues got Ryan O'Reilly and a Stanley Cup for Tage Thompson (+) so it was "much" to us.
Yeah, let's leave it up to the developers, Elliot. What could go wrong?.😅
The Players get "The Real Cup". That is total class!!!
Kings jerseys are so sick. Glad they brought them back

100% it's such a stupid idea.
+1 to stupid idea
This is the first time it’s only half the league.. it’s always been more.

Montreal/Boston. Saturday afternoon in Boston and Saturday night in Montreal. Always has. Always should be.
Im not sure how Boston doesn't put one of Mcavoy, Pasta, or Marchy up for trade. Their cupboard is BARE.
Good show
Kyle...... It's Royal Rumble.

This is the first time it’s only half the league.. it’s always been more so did hockey just become great this year?
@HabsTypeBeat it got better, yes.
I can’t find the stat but I would guess the percent of goals scored by 3rd and 4th lines is way down
Why can’t Thomson take faceoffs as Eliotte said?
3 of the 4 wildcard teams have negative goal differential.
1:06:05 Matt Martin bro, cmon elliotte
Vancouver is definitely the Leafs of the West
Two things:
Governments vs. Developers =
Games people Play.
Neither is trustworthy. sad but,
Both get too greedy.
No Canadian team will win a cup until they hire an American coach. They don’t need more hockey knowledge they need more competitive sports knowledge.

its SORRY not sawri lol
The NHL should have reduced playoffs, not exapnded. Media are so desperate
This is the first time it’s only half the league.. it’s always been over half the league that made it.
@@HabsTypeBeat Canadian media most desperate
