@@gooky I love SB, but they didn't invent this style of mini-docs. And for hockey content, this channel is much better for hockey fans like myself and a lot more in-depth in the actual psychology (hence the name) of the game rather than just the story + stats. I'll gladly support both though.

McTavish was 1 away from tying a tournament record for the Canadian team which was 18 (Dale McCourt in 77, Brayden Schenn in 2011). Bedard broke that Canadian record with 23 points in 2023, the following year. And Peter Forsberg (sweden) holds the tournament record with 31 points in 1993 (with 24 assists!).

@doublestrokeroll 4 ай бұрын

The initial knock down is 100% pure skill. Hand eye coordination. The bounces and the swipes were obviously a bit of desperation and that part did involve more luck for sure. There's a great youtube video that talks about "luck" determining outcomes in pro sports and of the major sports Hockey is the "luckiest" sport. I think this has become even more true, especially in the NHL, where you have so much parity between teams and the average talent level of players and teams is very high. Modern NHL hockey goals are mostly a result of a lot of pinball type plays. Even "tip in" goals, which have become so prominent, are mostly luck. The tips themselves are total skill, but where the puck goes after that is fairly random and you're hoping it goes where a defender or goalie isn't. The result of all this is, and this is going to make hockey fans angry, but it's true, is that the best team doesn't always win. Florida for example, was not a better team than the Bruins last year even though they beat them. A seven game series is not enough of a sample size like it can be in other sports. And here it is...The Stanley Cup, is more of a "lucky" trophy than the President's Cup. Sorry...I know none of you want to hear that, but it's true. In many ways winning the Pres trophy is much more impressive than the cup. Sport with the least amount of luck determining outcomes? Basketball.

@Malohdek 4 ай бұрын

I was watching a video on how players have "figured out" Basketball. It's become so easy for elite players to score a 3 pointer that defense is an uphill battle. And since defending a layup has rules around how long you can stand there for, the whole game becomes "who can get more 3 pointers". That's part of the reason basketball games are so close, too. The skill ceiling seems to be met by most of the players.

@doublestrokeroll 4 ай бұрын

@@Malohdek Well, I think it's more of the fact that the math says 3 pointers are how you win. Or basically inside or outside shots where probability is the highest and reward is the greatest respectively. The mid range jumper is basically dead. This in turn has led to a focus on guys with the ability to hit the three and so that's how the game has evolved. If you want to make it to the NBA today, especially in the back court, you must have long range ability. Still though, you gotta play D to win a title. Look at the Raptors title. It was D all the way that stifled GS. Milwaukee's title was from strong D play as well. 3 point % made, took a huge jump from the 80's to the 90's. It's true it's held relatively steady since 2000 but I wouldn't be surprised if it slowly starts creeping up as guys specialize more and focus on the shot. Steph is a 42% career shooter so as more guys come in who idolized him growing up, I bet it starts to increase. As an "old school" NBA fan, I don't whine about this era like many do. I think the Bball played today is very exciting and there is still great D and great rebounding that turn games. It's just a different type of D now.

@janbo8331 4 ай бұрын

I agree with a lot of what you say, but not quite with the tip-ins. For sure there is luck involved, but the player can definitely manipulate the direction of the tip - high, low, left, right, center. You can also alter the speed of the puck. A static tip usually scrubs of less speed than batting it, for example.

@doublestrokeroll 4 ай бұрын

@@janbo8331 That's what I said when I said "The tips themselves are total skill". Of course they can do those things. It still doesn't mean they know the goalie or a defender isn't going to be there. They're rarely if ever tipping "for an opening" like the would be when they shoot. Vast majority of tips are with their backs to the goalie/defender/net. Their basically tipping for the chaos that occurs. The tips are skill, the results are, in almost all cases, luck. Luck if the goalie stops it (if he's screened), if a defender has it hit him, or if they score.

I was at this game and was seated along the goal line. I can tell you one thing, that when McTavish stopped that puck from going in absolutely no one realized what just happened. Being a goaltender myself I saw what happened and absolutely lost it and before people realized the whole sequence rolled out.. everyone in that arena was absolutely dumbfounded how he basically picked that puck mid air and basically saved the tourney in an absolute split second decision.. it was unreal epic. I wasn't old enough to witness the Oilers run in the late 80s into the 90s. But I'd suspect it felt like that moment during and after the game!! Absolutely unreal😮

Outbreaks in the NHL likely (but not necessarily) caused outbreaks during the World Juniors, as both the tournament and part of the NHL season would be shut down, ending any and all hope for NHL players to take part in the Winter Olympics the following February. Decades from now people will look at the time period between 2020 and 2023 and say "that was a wild ride, wasn't it?" Much like how we look at the time period between 1919 and 1921.
