Flyers 6th in the metro? Well you clearly hate my team. But on a real note this has been a great series Shannon, I think I can speak for all of us hockey history buffs that this was a great series and we appreciate your work.
And with that we are done with the nhl’s history and can go into the next season to catalog it all as it goes on. What a fun series to follow over these last few months.
Leafs are going to win it all this year. Screenshot it. Pin it.
The year Florida almost became the Falcons
Thanks THG…or is it now Dr. THG?
You have earned your Doctorate in Hockey History!
Best video in the series for obvious reasons. Vamos Gatos
My VGKs Cheating Scandal Back fired vs Dallas in 7 and of course What a Hell of a Season for my Edmonton Oilers Almost Stanley Cup Champs and my Back to back But congrats Florida Panthers On your first Stanley Cup
Never missed a video but man I loved the history video. Thank you for the hard work you put into these video.
What a season onto the next
i’m so glad we moved from Karlson, I love him, but this would’ve been a way more painful rebuild if he’d stayed
That Erik Karlsson trade isn't aging very well for the Pens
I would love to see a video on the '24-'25 season just for kicks
Faber was SO close to getting that Vezina… so close
There was 1 team I was afraid of and that happened to be the same team that eliminated my Rangers in the Conference Finals. I was so sure this was our year. Everything seemed to be clicking but alas, it was not meant to be again.
What a fun series of videos. Some years were great to look back on, especially getting to the years when I was younger getting into the sport. I really love the effort you put into this series. I can't wait to see what you have next.
Let’s hope Alex Ovechkin gets to 894 this year. And with that that’s a wrap until the end of the 2024-2025 NHL season we will be back right here.
Now that we are at the end of this series I just wanted to say that I've been looking forward to each one each day, and it was a lot of fun to follow the league from its inception to modern day year by year!
I pretty sure Ryan Smith wanted a expansion team
This was an excellent series. Thank you
Great series, THG, watched all the episodes! Like how you did a lot on the NHA and the development of pro hockey to put the NHL into its larger context. And now that you are done… the regular season starts!
While I do understand that the Conn Smythe is awarded to the MVP of the playoffs, seeing it go to a player on the losing team just seems wrong to me.
I watched every episode, though may favorites were from the start of the NHL or NLHL (No Livingstone Hockey League), to the first Expansion. It was a great series.
When do we start the conversation for Shan making the hall of fame for broadcasting???
This series was awesome. Didnt get to all the videos but its a great playlist to go back to
Love these videos. I've watched multiple times.
We should get a "it's a bad matchup for Boston" count for the series
The Wings with one of the biggest late season chokes I've seen. Funny enough, the Detroit Tigers just made the playoffs because of a similar choke by the Twins so we've been on both sides of a late season collapse this year.
As a Florida fan, I would say this was the most important, because it was this year.
Thank you for my Daily hockey learning session wouldn’t miss one. Thank you Shannon!
Panthers are doubted again. People really hate this team
Fantastic series Shannon, bravo. Learned so much about the great history of our game, well worth the watch
Cats winning it all and redeeming themselves after 2023 was beautiful
I enjoyed this video series.
If your name/last name is Connor, chances are youll be good at sports.. mainly hockey
How did Nylander not score 100 points this year? He was on pace for like 120 for most of the season. Then with like 10 games to go he only needed like 4 points to get there. What happened?
I agree with McDavid winning the Conn Smythe. He deserved it. And i didn't care at all that he didn't come to claim it. That was the Panthers moment not his moment. It was probably one of the worst moments of his life. Anyone offended by this needs to change their priorities in life.
13:00 "What I thought was amazing about this was …10 million of that cap hit goes to Pittsburgh."
There is a bit of an asterisk on getting out of most of Karlsson's deal in that the Sharks took back some bad contracts. In the first year they were actually paying more than that 10M in savings between Hoffman's 4.5M, Granny's 5M, and Rutta's 2.75M (12.25M). The second season it's just Granny and Rutta (7.75M), and then those contracts are off the books.
Granny had a fantastic year despite being treated as a cap dump and Rutta was serviceable, but Hoffman was just horrendous. Of course the biggest key for the Sharks is the 10M being off the books after this year…they don't care about cap space this year, nor did they last year, but in the final year or two of EK65's deal they might actually want to start spending and now they'll have that extra space.
Yes i watched all of the videos in this series & have enjoyed them greatly.
Don't forget that Mike Babcock was hired as the Blue Jackets coach on July 1st, and then fired before training camp even started because of looking through players' phones. That probably contributed to their disastrous season
This has been one of my favorite series, thanks Shannon!
I learned a lot of new things about the NHL watching this series like how Latendresse was the first ever player to wear the number 84. Keep up the awesome work!
The Stars clinch the top spot in the West for the first time in eight years, but again, had trouble winning at home in the postseason especially in Game 1s which finally caught up to them in the WCF as they would lose again in the third round for the second consecutive season. Hopefully, this coming season they'll finally get over the hump.
Started watching in the 60s. Great effort and video as always!
Alexander Barkov changing his name to Connor Barkov would be funny if that did happen 😂.
Best episode of all
I have thoroughly enjoyed this series of NHL history videos.
Really enjoyed this series — great way to spend the offseason!
I'm surprised you skipped the Babcock debacle.
