This is a great series Shannon. It is very interesting to see how the league experiments and evolves with ideas early on. Especially when when they say no to common sense stuff for so long whilst immediately rubber stamping some of the dumbest ideas like a five game automatic qualifier series for a spot in the Stanley Cup finals.
History was my favorite subject in school and I still love it. Only the kind of history I'm interested in is way better and I actually like my teacher XD
Eddie Shore used to start behind his net and do his rush up ice thru the other team like a bull in a china closet with the building standing on their feet. All hail the late great Eddie Shore.
THG those reactions of yours were funny. The reason why Serie A is a best of 5 is simply to match the schedule of Serie B, C and D so that both finalists are ready at around the same date (therefore it's not really a bye). Serie A also in$ured a matchup between the "canadian" and american "champions" every season. I agree that a best of five final would have been better though
So there are some real bad rule changes here but I like the idea of playoff series starting interconference especially if we keep growing and need to cut interconference play to make the schedule function
Loving this summer class I subscribed to, Hockey history 100 with professor Shannon
Ryan Branigan When is the exam?
Felixeur forget the test I'm dreading the 10 page paper on the impact of the forward pass
Ryan Branigan I haven't even started that paper yet...shit when is it due?
Felixeur End of the summer. It's ok, we still got a month to do it.
Omg this just proves not only is THG the best hockey youtuber but his subs are the best subs xD I fucking love you guys xD
You're so close to 50K!!!
Had the Vezina been voted on that season:
The nominees are...
1. George Hainsworth
2. George Hainsworth
3. George Hainsworth
Bettman doesn't look so bad after this video
Shannon, your content is great! From where you started to where you are now is outstanding. I hope I can do the same one day!
And people complain about the current playoffs format?
No forward passing?? Imagine if there was social media back then.. 😶😶
Thanks for doing all that research, and putting this series out.

That overtime rule is how most sports do it in Europe and it rocks. Ties are also cool (but not in best of X playoffs)
It could've been worse, Betman could've been in charge and really messed up that playoff format.
I like this playoff format except for the automatic bye to the Finals. With this the postseason would become completely unpredictable
Steven Farnesi regular season games would become even less meaningfull since 8th place is better than 1st atleast in first round...

Maybe they played game 2 at Barclays, they probably would've had better ice conditions there the Islanders have now

I was laughing this whole video! My gosh the NHL was different, or was it...
pure insanity....
Yeah Boston won but they didn’t have to face Lundqvist so does it really count?

We should go back to this playoff system
Now this playoff bracket makes perfect sense to me!!!But i also think the 1907-08 Kenora(Rat Portage) Thistles were the best team ever!!!
An all American finals in the NHL? Bet that'll never be commonplace.
Sometimes i think that the NHL is hockey's worst enemy
Conor Sheary to Sabres !
i have a feeling the flyers are gonna win next year
DAcheekO not a chance with that defence and goaltending
both
