Love the RJ tribute at the end Tree, not enough know about his run of 51 years for the city of Buffalo.

Thanks for the RJ tribute at the end Tree! Us Sabres fans never saw much success and it’s a shame RJ never got to see the Sabres lift a cup, but to the fans that man is like part of your family. He’s been with the city and team through thick and thin and the Sabres won’t feel the same without him, but he’s earned the rest. Much respect sir.

I knew that Merzlikins probably would have had PTSD but I never knew that his time on the ice would be that much hell. I wish the best of luck to him in whatever choice he makes

Vegas (ironically) forgot the most important rule in gambling: more often than not, the house wins.

6:34 "Someone of great talent will want to play here. That'd be huge." Truly aged like a fine wine.

That clip of RJ signing off for the last time gets me every time. Just knowing we'll never get another iconic call hurts. It hurts that little bit more with the team looking like they're finally starting to turn it around.

Aw nice little tribute to Rick at the end, and a hell of a farewell speech fitting for a legend

That ending. When he gave that salute at the end of that speech, it felt right to give a salute back.

New to hockey and been following the playoffs . It’s refreshing to finally understand these videos. I was actually rooting for NY, but it seems TB finally got their shit together and remember who they are.

The little part for Guy Lafleur was class.

Buffalo had a great final two months. They cratered in the middle of the season because of goaltending injuries. They were down to their fifth and sixth goalies in January and February. They would have had 100 point pace if they played the rest of the season the way they did the last two months EDIT: Thank you for the RJ tribute, Tree. Would love to see a full retrospective on him. As a Buffalo fan, I think you’d do him justice.

I was a kings fan from birth to 2017. I had been born and raised in Vegas. I went to school right near the arena and the Las Vegas shooting. Going to that first game was genuinely one of the best experiences of my life, one that I’ll never forget. That being said, holy shit have they lost any and all good will. I’ll still be a fan, I’m accustomed to bad teams, but firing the coach that got you to the finals in your first year, trading away the most loved team mate in the way they did, treating players like shit, and just to flop that hard? Yeah, the knights aren’t a terrible team, but they make me feel terrible anyways.

As a Hawks fan, I’m glad we’re finally getting the rebuild we actually need. I’m sad to see the players I grew up watching go like this, but such is life. Stan Bowman fell for the fatal trap most GMs fall for: the walk of decadence. He desperately tried to keep a fading dynasty alive instead of doing what the team actually needed which was to start the rebuild THREE YEARS AGO. Now we have to live with the suffering he brought within the last year with his god awful trades (minus the Hagel trade).

"Someone of great talent will want to play [in Columbus]." Really takes on a whole new meaning now, doesn't it?

Columbus absolutely fleeced Chicago in the Seth Jones trade. It can’t be understated just how important this off-season is for them. Signing Laine and hitting on the 6th and 12th pick in the draft could bring the franchise to previously unseen heights in a few years.

As a Kraken fan, I knew we weren’t going to be good when I saw we got Hakstol to be our head coach. But we need to keep him for at least one more year so that we can strike a good draft pick next year. Once we have the youth we need (cause we’re loading up on that, which is a good thing) THEN we pull the trigger on Hakstol and bring in a good coach who’s main strength is developing. It’ll be an interesting off-season for us for sure

The bonus clip at the end got me all sad. Gonna miss Rj a lot

Thank you for everything RJ, you will be missed but always in our hearts.

Won’t lie tree, saying the Sens May move to Quebec City is pretty ridiculous.

“(Detroit) choose your next coach carefully, it could mean the difference between progress and stagnation” If only the Red Wings had one of, if not the best (depending on who you ask), GMs in the NHL with a very good track record of putting together a seemingly unstoppable team. Trust the Yzerplan

Seeing the progress Buffalo made this season was awesome. Seeing Eichel and Vegas fall out of a playoff spot was icing on the cake.

I said this about the Sharks after they got mathematically eliminated: You’ve got five years, get a plan together. They don’t have one.

“Winnipeg is the Columbus of Canada” is a compliment to how Canadians see Winnipeg. They see Winnipeg in the same way we Americans might see somewhere like Gary, Detroit, or Camden. That being said, their quality of life is about on par with one of the safer cities like Minneapolis, because Canada.

The best two things to happen to the Red Wings this year were our new shiny rookies and the firing of our AHL coach. This off-season will be massive for the wings

“Congrats, Lightning! (2019)” just keeps getting better and better

This season as a Canucks fan gave me some hope that with some offseason tweaking this core could do something (if they can get more talented depth players and add some grit, as well as fixing the special teams) they could be an underrated playoff team. But it’s the Canucks, so something will go wrong.

I swear if the Flyers end up hiring DeBoer, I'm going to blow a gasket. Which means that 100% is what's going to happen because this organization is so incompetent.

Honestly so impressed you are so knowledgeable about every team in the 'Big 4' leagues. Keep up the great work king.

The ending was heartwarming. Tree the only youtuber to make you laugh then cry in a matter of seconds

I went to Glendale AZ once and was shocked the Coyotes played at an arena that had this open concept mall, retail center right next to the arena. It wasn’t bad!

The Sharks are like that weird kid at school who ate Glass

God damn. The Yotes are literally engaging in petplay with Arizona State. The Sun Devil's quite literally have them on a leash. Also, I can't believe Rick Jeanneret won't be in the broadcast booth next year. I'll miss his iconic calls. Going to the corporate shilling (the Raycon infomercial): Wait. Raycons can be wirelessly charged? PS: Please tell me that the Johnny Superbman voice clip for Evgeny Dadonov is a permanent fixture until Dadonov's retirement.

I don't want to see the Sens leave Ottawa but Melnyk passing was such a blessing for the team. So many years of great players wasted.

Every section on the Hawks should just be reading segments of the Kyle Beach depositions until every executive responsible has been fired. Any talk about hockey is doing exactly what they want and “moving on”

The thing with Gibson is he “hasn’t been as good of late” because the Ducks have done nothing but get worse and worse each passing year I personally think he’s an elite goalie and the Ducks should absolutely be trying to deal every veteran player they have.

My favorite quote for each team: --Anaheim Ducks: "Oh it was beautiful... now if only we could stop the season in January everything would be fine." --Arizona Coyotes: "...Bettman's baby will never leave Phoenix." --Buffalo Sabres: "They actually get to experience this phenomenon called 'hope.'" --Chicago Blackhawks: "This year was divine retribution applied directly to the f*cking forehead." --Columbus Blue Jackets: "The Columbus conundrum is one of perpetual restarts and hoping somebody wants to stay in the city." --Detroit Red Wings: "Choose your next coach carefully, it could be the difference between progress and stagnation." --Montreal Canadiens: "The seeds of tomorrow are planted in the ashes of today." --New Jersey Devils: "Everything else they tried turned out to be little more than net-decoration." --New York Islanders: "...then came the reality that this team couldn't score on a blow-up doll." --Ottawa Senators: "...since [Melnyk's] gone the ass-backwards hire Pierre McGuire can be awkward on TV again." --Philadelphia Flyers: "...not for what [Ristolainen] is but for Philly's stubbornness to prove themselves right." --San Jose Sharks: "Someday you'll win the cup, it's only a matter of time. I have a counter-argument to that: the San Jose Sharks" --Seattle Kraken: "Hextall teams everyone. Philly can laugh until they cry themselves to sleep." --Vancouver Canucks: "Bruce Boudreau's legendary barbeque pit is coming back for another go around after testing out the food truck for a bit." --Vegas Golden Knights: "...thankfully the injuries helped there..." --Winnipeg Jets: "the Jets are settling for mediocrity [...], it the last thing they should be doing but I guess that's the Winnipeg way, isn't it?."

Anyone else here before the eventual Congrats, Rangers! Video gets uploaded here with their blown 2-0 series lead????? :P

As a Sabres fan thank you for the tribute to RJ at the end. It’s hard to put into words what he has meant to the franchise.

Thanks tree, now I got the “head on” commercial from the 2000s stuck in my head

As a Dallas fan I can tell you how Lindy Ruff works: he can make any team light it the fuck up offensively but defense and goaltending vanish. Happened in Dallas and now it's happening to Jersey

Thank UT for giving the Kraken the benefit of the doubt during their segment. I expect Seattle to be busy this offseason and I can trust Ron Francis to make the right moves. The least the Kraken can do heading into season 2 is to surpass their win total of 27.

Just in time for the Haters Guide to the Stanley Cup Finals

2 legends of the booth are gone this year. Rick and Steve cangialosi truly a sad time.

After the Wild got bounce, I knew this would come and am so happy.

"Great teams never go out with a bang, but with a wimper" Well, ignoring the Great Pittsburgh Firesale, at least.

I love Johnny shouting Dadonoooov in the background lol

Ive never watched a single game of hockey in my life...but im still going to miss RJ

As a Sharks fan I feel so sorry for our new GM having to deal with the mess the team is currently in. Also knowing the Sharks we are probably going to keep Bob for some reason as we watch Trotz and Cassidy get hired to other teams.

Finally! After I've been waiting for this episode since the first round. 😂

This is just what I was looking for as a newer fan trying to catch up on the hockey landscape. Trying to get a sense of all the teams and big players before next season. Hell ya tree 🤙

For the first time since I was 6 years old, I’m so excited for the next season of Sabres hockey. Smite me if all goes wrong, but I feel happy to like the Sabres again

Seeing your face kind of breaks the image I had of your persona... then you talking and I get over it. Keep it coming! Super entertaining and quite informative.

I live for your hockey videos tree! You are the best around and definitely make my life less miserable (Bruins fan)

I hope I can see my San Jose Sharks win at least one Stanley Cup someday.

As a Montreal fan I can confidently say we needed a year like this. Now a real rebuild has been kickstarted and we can really turn the page on the Bergevin era. It's looking real good.

Depressing that you're 100% right about my Flyers. They've been self-delusional since the Lindros years. Need an a total enema, top to bottom. Flush it all out.

As a Devils fan, it’s frustrating seeing us have great players like Hughes, Bratt, and Hamilton standing up and making big plays, but then looking to our goalie wondering which one of the three backup-tier goalies were gonna be playing. If we get a 82 game goalie then we’ll be able to make a lot of noise.

Dead on with my Sabres, Tree, though for once I'm not actually mad about it. I especially love what Donny Meatballs is doing with the team. I forgot what competent roster building and properly utilizing player strengths looks like. Granato gets the best out of everyone no matter how far down the depth chart they are. I've especially loved seeing Dahlin (my favorite player on the current roster since he was drafted) finally play with confidence. The Tage breakout was also awesome. My favorite personnel thing has been Tuch, though. I love that man so much. His play is great, but he actually brought fun back to hockey for this team. These guys care again, and it's because he's single handedly created a relaxed atmosphere in the locker room. If my Sabres can maintain this momentum and make this a full blown turn around, Tuch will probably have his number retired in Buffalo before he retires himself. At any rate he'll get that C, though I think it'll be another season as Kyle Okposo has earned it for this coming year for sure. One last thing: I am going to miss Rick so fucking much. That man was a major part of the soundtrack of my childhood and has made Sabres hockey fun even the blue and gold were complete dogshit. I cried when he announced he'd be retiring at the end of this season last summer, and I cried when I watched that final game, which that clip you posted at the end was from.

As someone who only recently started getting into hockey, it's nice to hear Tree talk about my team and not completely dismantle them with their idiocy. Go Ducks!

Funny you picked 1984 as the "house number" for the address as the Islanders Drive for Five that year hit an "oil slick". Props for remembering Denis Potvin's sometimes forgotten brother, Jethro and Boss.

I loved that you ended with a clip of RJ. I grew up listening to him and will surely miss him.

"Then came the harsh reality that the Islanders couldn't even score on a blow-up doll." Dear God, Tree, how savage can you be?

For Columbus, 'Somone of great talent will want to play here' Ayy good call tree

Hey thank you for the RJ tribute at the end.❤️❤️

It’s my favorite time of the year where the tree shits on my team

Love the RJ tribute at the end, cheers from Western NY!

I have a new arena idea for the Coyotes… Just play in a massive tank.

This season was a rollercoaster as a habs fan, Wright and Slav have their own risks and rewards with what the next draft looks like

Superbman screaming dadonov in the background of the Vegas clip was a nice touch 😂😂

It's a damn shame the Isles had to end up in this video this year. Even bigger shame that they decided to just blow it all up. Now I'm worried they'll just sink back to mediocrity after Trotz was fired and we did nothing to fix our real issues. Still, this is a nice video to see!

To those who haven’t heard Jeannerets calls in the booth, do yourself a favor and go back and listen, they’re great, possibly the greatest

Glad I stuck around for the Rick Jeanneret tribute. One of a kind!

"(Vegas) tried to pull a fast one with Evgenii Dadonov at the deadline." Johnny Superbman: *DADONOV!!!*

Farewell, friend.

I'm just glad there is a hockey team nearby now, one day they'll be good, hopefully when I'm alive.

"Everyone tells failing teams to keep at it, someday you'll break through and win the Cup, it's only a matter of time! I have a counterargument to that: the San Jose Sharks." C'mon, man, you could have pulled that punch just a little. We're already in so much pain...

Being a Sharks fan is depressing.

The music choice on the Canadiens section was *chef's kiss*.

Hearing the classic 2BC Productions rage at Dadanov was pleasantly unexpected! lol

That last RJ clip brought a single tear to my eye!

Did you really just use the Genesis Jurassic park theme? That’s next level man.

Godspeed RJ. Sabres games will just not be the same without you.

As an Islanders fan, I watched the long Island revival with fear knowing bad things were brewing. I should've known that Game 7 loss at Tampa wouldn't be enough

I expected sad music for the Sharks part, like Remembering Mallory from San Andreas because it is the end of an era. Doug Wilson is gone and while I do think the old pieces remain because I don’t think they can get rid of them, they’re a shell of their old glory. I guess the consolation prize for seeing Vegas and Philly in here. Opp packs up for both those teams

It was a real enjoyable 2nd half of the season for us Sabres fans, pieces are in place like tree said hope is there just really need to figure out the goaltending situation UPK isn't developing. It's really unfortunate Rick wasn't around for a cup but I appreciate the tribute for sure.

Why do I have a sudden urge to watch the classic hockey comedy "Slapshot" ?? 🤣🤣🤣

It helps as an Oilers fan born in 2000 but this was for me the greatest regular season I have ever witnessed. Ever.

Looking forward to the Haters Guife to Stanley Cup video!!!

Appropriate ending, well played.

The wait was worth it.

The craziest part of this video is that I just watched a speed run of the Sega Genesis Jurassic Park game. Haven't thought of that game in 15 years. Now I'm hearing the soundtrack twice in a week.

I'm starting to think the Sharks lost their soul to the devil because they lost a game of Poker to a Beetle the devil also just likes to watch a team do terrible cause he's evil of course.

I see the Yotes drank too much Code Red again

WE IN THE FINALS, AND STANLEY IS COMIN HOME. Lookin forward to haters guide to the Stanley Cup playoffs

A hockey video, more reasons to watch Utree as he simplifies complex things for the less than savvy at sports. And using visitor center music from Jurassic park sega genesis at 10:40. Utree your music selection is top notch.

I’m hoping the Lightning lose so I can say “they will be no three-peat.”

RJ’s goodbye is so heartbreaking

i hadn't even thought about what the cannon might be like for Merzlikins until the statement came out about it and my heart dropped

As an isles fan "couldn't score on a blowup doll" is 100% accurate for them on and off the ice.
