I’ve been a Florida panther fan (I rep all south Florida teams) my whole life except I’ve never watched a game lol. Since it’s their second Stanley cup in two years I figured I’d learn what I’m watching. Thanks
I wish I could give this 10 thumbs up!!! Avid life long hockey player, fan, and coach. This is the best basic explanation of hockey I have ever watched. Well done sir!
I’m watching the NYR and Florida play game 4, it’s tied 2-2 w/ NYR leading the series 2-1. I kinda get it watching the video but then try watching the game and applying what the vid has taught me and nope I still don’t get it watching the game in real time
I like how the video ends right when it gets to the most confusing part. HOW IS THE BRACKET ALIGNED???! That’s the only reason I clicked on this video lol
this is a great video and best of all its kid friendly im gonna use this for my kids hockey team to explain to them great stuff keep it up how about doing one for penalties
Thanks to your awesome videos and also cartoons all explaining gets really easy. Btw are you a teacher? if not you'd be a heck of a teacher/professor. Thanks again for your videos!
Is there a video or instruction on referee calls? My home town team's announcer does not speak much, and as a newbie I usually am unsure why play has stopped and resulted in a faceoff. Even the penalties can be difficult to discern. I can see who and how long, but I am often not sure as to exactly why.
An interest in watching ice hockey can strike at any age. I saw my first ice hockey game in person less than two weeks ago. Now I am a fan; I would qualify for senior tickets if they are offered. Last year I moved to where the SPHL team Rail Yard Dawgs resides, but I didn't even know there was a hockey team until the Dawgs won their league's championship, the President's Cup. Our neighbors offered guest tickets and transportation to the last home game this year. My husband didn't have a bad time, but I had a great time! I attended my next game solo, and he has agreed to accompany me to the first game of Round 2 in this year's playoffs.
So a team in the same conference can steal a wild card spot, no matter what division they are in? E.g. the Detroit red wings are in the Atlantic division but there are three teams in the metropolitan division fighting for a spot in the wild card. The red wings, capitals, and flyers are at 87 points and the penguins are at 86. The penguins not only have to battle their own division, but also the red Wings for the divisional wild card?
That’s right. The two wild card spots in each conference can be won by any division in that conference. It would be possible for one division to send 3 teams to the playoffs, while the other division in that conference sends 5.
