Career videos are good too.
I warched one preview video… Not for me… I only care about upcoming games/preview for my team(Jets). And I usually do enough of my own research for upcoming jets games. Im glad to hear youll be using all that time and effort for something better!
Regarding power rankings… including Sunday games and posting them Monday mornings might be a good idea, I'm always looking for something to catch up when I start the week!
Awesome job and please keep up the great work. Very respectfully and always improving your channels for more opportunities for you to grow the channel.
Another goalie Vegas shouldn’t have gotten rid of
I Miss the AHL updates every other week I haven't seen them in a while …..it's a change of pace get to talk about how the younger players are doing….thanks Shannon
I think it's a good move combining the previews and news videos. I watch the news videos almost religiously but just could never get into the previews. I think this way, I'll probably end up watching them and just let the video play out, as long as they aren't doubling the length of the video or anything
As far as the news videos goes, I say do whatever makes your life easier 👍
Habs fan here! Caps are not laying unreal! Ovi surrounded by some good mix of young talent and vets! Can’t wait to see him beat Gretzkys record! Thompson was a great acquisition and finally PLD is playing some good hockey! They are a Cup favorite for sure!
Man, I love your channel. I hope one day I will be able to dedicate myself to something as consistently as you do with youtube.
Mind blowing that VGK wouldn’t sign LT for 6×6. Before he left they probably could’ve gotten 5m per year
Imagine getting cut by the Sabres
The Caps getting it done!! I'm loving it!! The next big item is to get Chychrun locked in long term. I don't see Lindgren coming back for next season unless he's willing to take a discount. Charlie has played well but the team has responded with LT in net. And they have Hunter Sheppard and Clay Stevenson in Hershey who they've won a couple Calder Cups with.
LETS GO CAPS!!
Power Rankings always belonged on a Sunday. Saturday is too busy. The PR can be a week in review/ look ahead reset for the entire week
Any chance we can see THG hockey jerseys on sale. 🤔
Maybe you can get a colab with Geeky Jerseys? 😉
Washington’s management is easily Top 5 in the entire NHL, and they ain’t #5. Imagine if Vancouver had a management like them. LOL, they can’t even trade guys whom they been shopping for OVER 6 weeks now. 👀
I miss the daily preview videos, it used to be part of my routine (but the current way is also enjoyable). Putting a super-condensed rundown of the day's schedule in a news video sounds good to me, I am sure you will come up with other video ideas that will spotlight the trends and player stats and records and the like. Keep up the good work Shannon!
Power rankings released for Sunday is a good schedule. Don't let the complainers dictate your schedule.
Do what works for you Shannon. I'll still be here.
I watch recap videos for any game I miss (Canes fan here) and some I don’t just to get your take. I love power rankings and panic index too. I love when you do in depth analysis on a team or player (like the 10 loss/win streak videos). It helps me be more informed around the league. So maybe a weekly video on any new #1 or #32 team on the power ranking. Or more in depth on the Stars of the week? Just a few ideas. I appreciate everything you do and can’t wait for merch drops. I seriously need a “the referee is told he sucks” shirt.
I'd love to see you do position-based power rankings. You are an awesome resource for us fantasy hockey folks. We can all see The stats but some THG context and discussion on which players are among the top 20 in their respective position would be interesting.
On a similar power ranking vein, power ranking of PK, PP, 5on5 could be interesting.
One of the stupidest thing the Sens have done. Silver lining is Cyril Leeder says they regret it. The Quebec games are fine and growing the fan base is important, but don’t advertise another team and definitely don’t mix it with our jersey and put it on our mascot. We know the team is not moving
Hi Mr hockey guy…. Bought a (no name no number) Ontario reign jersey and I can't find anyone to custom stich my jersey … Can you help?
I thought I already watched this video until I read the title since the thumbnail was the same as a video last week when Thompson got the star of the week, haha.
I really like NAK. I hope things work out for him.
In a related note, i saw another article on FB saying Atlanta and Houston are still the frontrunners in the next group of expansion teams.
I love the aggressiveness the Caps have shown on getting this deal done now. Obviously, there's some degree of risk here. Thompson still has not played a full season as a #1 goalie in the NHL. But the bottom line is that if this guy finishes the year strong, and has a solid playoffs, SOMEONE is throwing substantially more than 6/$5.8m at him. And where would the Caps find someone as good for cheaper? So the Caps likely got a discount here. But I also totally get why Thompson would take this deal. This dude has taken the long, hard road to get here. Undrafted, ECHL, etc. The chance to make "set for life" money and lay down roots with a good org who believes in you has got to be so exciting and rewarding for him.
Love the Channel! Also gotta say love the Simpsons references!!
Fully support the new previews idea. Im a huge fan of the channel but I never watch those. For me it’s all about news of the day, power rankings, and the ranking and raving.
The previews, while appreciated, are very statistically heavy. I would rather have it bundled inside the news video and have you only go through the matchups, their previous results and possible upcoming dates and not go through the individual player stats so it doesn't take so long.
Thanks for the video! Great info, details, and insights! Sad about Kane.
CAPS CAPS CAPS ❤🎉😊
One the creators that I watch lot uses fourthwall. He has good things to say. (drmick AKA game sessions with a therapist to cite my source. He just so happens to play hockey too)
I’d rethink the news video and preview setup. Not that I wouldn’t like it as a viewer, but the viewers not interested in the previews would leave your video early, thus making Youtube think your videos are not retaining viewers. Which is a big thing in this platform.
Won’t doing the previews like that hurt the news videos? As in, if someone only watches the “news” part of the video and skips the “preview” part, the watchtime metric on the video will drop.
Yeah I rarely watch the preview videos unless I'm in a hotel and the TV just rolls over to one. I watch the news, feature videos (no matter which team), and rankings all the time. Sometimes the review if I just want to hear about hockey.
A 6 year contract seems optimistic to me considering how goalie’s luck can seemingly change on a dime.
Thank you.
I think incorporating the previews into news videos is smart. I honestly only open them up for some quick info maybe on some specific games or to see who played earlier in the day when I want to watch an out of market game on ESPN+. News videos are a must watch start to finish.
THG hats please!
Rantanen to the Caps this summer
I appreciate all you do man! Thank you!
For the preview videos it is a good idea. Often news of the day relate to later games in the day, so it is a better use of your time and energy. Good work and thank you for all your excellent content!
I do wonder if everybody just stopped talking about Pettersson and Miller, would the problem go away? I'm leaning towards yes.
sometimes I click like, then click it again, then click it a third time hoping it glitches the servers and my likes count double. THAT'S my commitment to THG. I love your content, Shannon.
I'll miss the dedicated preview videos but adding them to the daily news makes sense. Thanks for the update THG!
A weekly video where you pick your own stars of the week would be cool
Oh man I hope the caps snap Aube-Kubel up again. He was amazing on the fourth line with Dowd. His speed is a massive asset (Top 3%)
The problem with combining the news and previews is that the people that only care about the news will click away before the preview, and youtube will notice the viewer retention drop off, and the algorithm will assume it's just not a good video and stop recommending it/your channel
