From the Thumbnail, I was 95% sure this was going to be blasting the Championchip Devils teams & how they killed Hockey for a decade. What we got was a video I will point to every time the Trap is mentioned cause the stigma is real when it come to Devils & the Trap. Continue the great content & work man!
I'm a newer hockey fan and this video was awesome. Subscribed!!
Excellent video. I really learned a lot!👍👍👍
This is what I’ve needed… a secret base style sports doc on Hockey, finally.
You earned a SUB from me! Great video 🎉
ooh SOMEONE's been watching bobbybroccoli!
This is one of the best hockey videos I have ever watched. Well done!!
Great video. One minor qualm though: the way you pronounce Montreal. In English we say it like “Mun – tree – all”. In French it’s “Mon’ – ray- all”, with the T being completely silent and the N being barely pronounced…French is a weird language. But yeah if you’re pronouncing it in English, it’s always Mun not Mon. Combining the English and French pronunciations by saying Mon and then Tree – All instead of Ray – All is unsettling.
Since you’re American, it would be kinda like us Canucks pronouncing Detroit like Deh – twah or Illinois like Eeleh – nwah. Weird, right?
Wow, the research time for this must have been crazy!
Both Martys were guilty of enforcing the trapezoid. Turco was also phenomenal.
welcome back jon bois
As a completely new hockey fan, this video showed up in my recommended feed, and boy I am happy I ended up here. Hockey history is so cool, thank you for the passionately made video.
Like and comment for the effort alone. Nice job bro.
"the sirens are gonna close out this game on the powerplay"
Fillier had other plans haha
It looks like any zone pressure for any other game.
I would argue Ron Hextall was equally responsible for that trapezoid rule. Never mind literally scoring goals, the Flyers would actually pass him the puck when short handed quite a bit. He snuffed out forechecking all by himself.
@SteveDangle
I'd love to hear what you have to say about the clutch and grab era. Pinholes is very good at finding and framing important stats in a frame that is relevant to our society right now. @SteveDangle tells it how it is. Let's have the best and most real conversation about the Clutch and grab era ever!
They took away the centre line a few years ago. I propose we bring it back in favour of eliminating the two zone lines. More ice to spread out defenders or build up speed, and no two-line passes, except from the goal line to centre ice.
Huge Jon bois influence I love it
Really awesome vid, man!
