What is with all these new hockey channels ripping off The Hockey Guy's formula? Have some creativity.

Im a big fan of THG myself but idk if you can really call someone a "rip off" because they're talking in front of a whiteboard. It's a pretty basic formula that anyone can do.

Oh Ben's been around, some of us appreciate the smaller intelligent podcasts over the clickbait we don't have to put up with gambling ads... Somebody screaming at us to sub every 2 minutes 🙄 just wants to share hockey, very good at assessing on his own, doesn't crunch numbers the same as others. He can read between the statistics Fair assessments,Not clickbait. The original podcast I saw used whiteboards 20-something years ago It just means the hockey guy isn't putting his proceeds back into his set. Ben's a small hockey community If we ask good questions, we usually get answers. And I can listen to an intelligent conversation for a while while I work. Without a bunch of ads

@@abe1996 I like the hockey guy - he's often trying to sell NHL jerseys. I believe I get ads in the middle of his videos. But I don't do the premium stuff. So that could be my problem The hockey guy does tons of trade rumors that we know won't happen... That gets old quick. So maybe it's not quite clickbait but it's constant "rumors." But that's okay. I can come over here to Ben when I don't want to hear the trade rumors stuff. I don't see Ben as trying to be like anyone but himself. He has his own opinion. he's played hockey And he is south of the border. Minnesota? I believe the hockey guy is north of the border So there is a difference - I could do without all those trade "rumors" But we get to know different players messing around in the trade rumor mill. Respect to both guys. I'm allowed to prefer one over the other.

I didn’t expected the Wings to be in the playoffs in the before the season started, so they surprised me.

Detroit being in the wild card race is exactly where they should be this season. Now if they don’t make it that’s a little disappointing, but if they make it alls forgotten

Why would Toronto be on this list? Have you seen the division? It really doesnt matter where they end up. No questions in net Sammy has been the 2nd best goalie since Jan. Presidents trophy is not worth anything. Leafs have not anything to play for in 2 months. They are only waiting on the playoffs to begin. That is were the battle begins.

Wait for playoffs for the battle to begin? So Toronto is suddenly going to turn it on, first round when they're forced to take on the Panthers? I dunno about that one? 🤔

@@thegulch1780 maybe look at the leafs record recently. They are playing strong hockey. This thing with the playoffs is tired. They are in the toughest division. Any team will have a hard time coming out of the Atlantic.

@@Ovres I hear you. It is getting tired, yet I think Toronto has been lined up to take on one of the toughest teams in the East. Panthers know what they're doing this season, whereas last year they didn't! Toronto has been accused of being "soft" this season. So I'm addressing their ability to battle, that battle needed to start earlier. I might know something about going up against Panthers first round. Clobbering goalies on the head when they're sprawled out on the ice, Then using a referee as a human shield to punch your goalie in the head again! Lot of wasted energy that first round taking on the chokeholds, cross checking. And coaches telling players to "back down," didn't work. Going soft did not work against Panthers. There's a reason Matthew Tkachuck ended up with a broken sternum by Stanley Cup finals So my point was, they might want to think about battling earlier, enough to get out of that position where they have to take on Florida Panthers first round I might know a thing or two about that Lol! 🐻 Enjoy the ride! ✌️

@@Ovres yes, That's one game - we'll see what they do when they visit Florida next week... This conversation is to be continued. my point is, battling earlier this season would have put them in a better playoff seed. We were talking about when to start battling. Landing first round against Panthers or hurricanes is probably not a good idea.

As soon as I saw the title of your video - Sabres immediately came to mind. Then Ottowa. Wings are fun to watch, but can't take them seriously yet. Tampa is a retooling team, vasilevsky was out as you know... I'll reserve judgment on Bolts. If the season went on another 20 games, we mightve been hearing from the Habs - not seriously, contenders, put serious progress. Becoming more difficult to play against Toronto? Not much to expect from the top revenue team who spends $46 million on 4 players. They are cur$ed by riches 😊 This is tough because regular season and playoffs are two different beasts. And it seems that the playoff race is tighter than its been. Every team has shown nuances of brilliance and great play at one point of the season or the other. But I think that the team that has exceeded the most expectations? Boston Bruins! 🐻 😁 I'm a biased bear but I don't see any other team play that far beyond the expectations. I'm not using the word "winning" when it comes to Bruins - they're not going to lose! Totally two different approaches do competitive sports. It's not about winning when you've been humiliated the last two playoffs getting knocked out the first rounds - it's about not losing! Great stuff No worries about the lighting, the sun is so bright, can't see you anyway! Happy break-up! 🌞 Or happy spring 🌼 Edit - I guess I should have reserved my comment on the Bruins for your next video so I might be redundant.
