Since the Toronto Maple Leafs last hoisted the Stanley Cup, a time when Elvis Presley dominated the charts, gas was a mere 33 cents a gallon, and the world hadn't yet witnessed a moon landing, the NHL has expanded to 26 teams and undergone significant changes. Despite the evolution of the game and the addition of new teams and rules, one thing has remained constant: the Maple Leafs' playoff dis...

The Vegas Golden Knights have quickly risen to NHL prominence since their 2017 expansion, boasting a .627 win percentage and two Stanley Cup Final appearances.

So for now, it’s goodbye to the coyotes and hockey in Arizona. Throughout the years, Arizona brought in a strong and passionate fanbase and provided the league with some of the best moments of the 2000s. Whether it was against them or for them, the Coyotes are a part of NHL history. They sparked a passion in hockey for soon to be one of the greatest goal scorers ever and they developed a strong...

The Bruins Nightmare of a Draft

To me Edmonton was always a forgotten hockey city. When I thought about Canadian hockey clubs, the ones coming to mind was the Habs, the Nordics, the Flames, the Senators and that ended there.
Bruh how can you be a hockey fan and not know Gretzkys club but somehow the nòrdiques Heck not even the leafs as bad as they are
@@bnb6868 Thanks, you are correct. Leafs were on my mind while writing this. Don't know how I could have forgotten them.
I disagree with the personality thing, everyone says that all the time especially canadians and americans it's ike you wanna turn the hockey players black
I'm so nervous for Game 6; I'm not even a Panthers fan but I just want them to win the Stanley Cup so bad because they never won it before they had some rough years in the past
I want the oilers to win I’m not even a fan but I want a cup in Canada
First
The NHL needs to promote the sport to non white people. It’s 2024!!! Part of the reason why the Thrashers and Coyotes failed is because they never tried to appeal to a black or hispanic audience respectively
2 more games.....LETS FUCKIN GOOOOOO
How can one talk about eating out of the cup without mentioning Phil Kessel's hot dogs?
The 2023 bruins collapse didn’t feel real for about 2 days. Not one soul at that game could believe what they just saw live with their own eyes
The best player in the league
good player measure no WM medals. he never free his team on playoffs
Very misleading title.
Why just because the USA don't want to watch hockey. If the nhl folds, then Canada will take our stanly cup back and start a all Canadian league
NHL could be HUGE in china. Lots of rual cold mountain towns ripe to start hockey in.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Show Him The Money Flyers
The NHL could help itself out by promoting other forms of hockey (street, inline ) the NFL did this years ago with flag football as it realized contact sports is not for everyone. Elite travel soccer in the US is just as expensive as Hockey but it still has a lot of kids who play rec ball till about age 13. The point is the NHL could do a lot more to bring the game to the main stream. Would these kids become elite college players no but they would become fans.
You really want to talk about a decline? Go back to say, 1991, ‘92, ‘93 etc. The NHL was on fire and Sports Illustrated predicted it would overtake the NBA. The 1994 lockout, throttling down on goal scoring, and terrible business decisions led to a drastic decline by the turn of the millennium. Anything happening now is just a decline from the decline.
the schmoilers are putting the icing on the cake
This kid is so good it’s crazy
Sports gambling ads are a major turn off for me. No chance I would risk kids getting wrapped up in that nonsense.
well this didnt age well. as its 3-0
0:36 is my fav part ngl
I really hope he gets the Vezina. I doubt it, but I’m hoping they cheat and factor in playoffs. He deserves it
I’m a huge hockey fan, I coached youth hockey for 20 years, and I have season tickets to Quinnipiac University’s hockey team. But I haven’t paid any attention to the NHL since the Whalers left Hartford. I know that the NHL’s problems wouldn’t be solved by bringing a team back here, but the league has turned off a lot of fans by moving teams around. Fortunately, there are other ways to enjoy the game without the NHL.
Gotta thank Ian Clark for coaching Bobcat to become a top NHL goaltender. Anything Clarky does turns to gold.
bro if bobrovsky wins the conn smythe the award is dead and means nothibg
Good lord you’re stupid. Dude is on an all time heater. Only other player who maybe arguably deserves it is Sasha. But 2.07 GA/G and .916, .954 in the Finals, is cracked
I think barkov has a chance
I don't know what planet this narrator is from but the list of European nations that play hockey is rather long. Or, at least, it was the last time I looked.
It is very, very, hard to get good talent out of Russia the way things are going
And just now they sold cap friendly to a single nhl franchise. The nhl does not understand its fans 😊
When you purposely keep the founders of the sport out, what do you expect? 😂
Back when the Great one scored all those goals players could score off a wrist shot from the blue line with nobody in front of the goalie and they would score. Goalies are 1000 times better now
As a Canadian fan, I lost interest because all they cared about was expanding across the US. It's simply not our game anymore. I don't care how many of the players are Canadian, they play for US corporations now, not their countrymen.
you touched on it a bit and the key to saving the NHL or hockey in general is for all of the NHL and AHL teams to be reinvesting in the youth development programs. They need to figure out a way to replicate the success of the MN community based hockey system. The state has a population of 5.7 million and has roughly 60k youth hockey players from age 3 through HS. There are only a couple states close to that but they have much larger populations. One of the key success of the MN model is it quite a bit more affordable than anywhere else. The NHL should really be looking at doing something similar to what the MLB did where they built ball fields and started youth programs all across the country. Lets be real hockey will never be able to compete with Basketball and Soccer. Those sports can be played anywhere and mostly for free. Almost every single town has at least 1 park with a field and basketball hoop. Same could be said about touch football or baseball. American football is highly subsidized as well. I played from 7-12th grade and never bought a single piece of equipment. It was all provided by the school. You have to live in a cold state or country to be able to play pick up hockey on the ODR. Maybe the NHL starts pushing roller hockey and ball hockey in the warm states. That said I do believe that last year the US youth participation numbers surpassed that of Canada so maybe they are doing something right.
That’s the silliest statement. NHL is not disappearing to irrelevancy. It is stronger than ever.
If they win the cup this year number 16 will 100% go to the rafters when he eventually retires.
he has already earned that
Most skilled athlete of any sport of any time
The owner of the Flyers should buy Michkov like they do in soccer. Just give them 5million$ to release him from his contract and get him in Philadelphia right away.
Very excited for this guy I think theres something special in him
Portland rosebuds 😂
You have to get the American black youth into hockey and wearing NHL gear thing for it to blow up.
Too many regular season games. Too many teams. The Stanley Cup ending as summer starts is dumb.
Wow, you’re criticizing another team besides Toronto.
This gon age like milk
As a Leafs fan, it's hard to witness the toxicity towards the fanbase every single year. I've always thought of changing teams, but the NHL has done a great job at making none of their teams feel like anything special at all.
tampa isnt a dynasty?
Last goal?
Even vs Bob! :-D
Has the cup ever broke from all the abuse? 😮
