Imagine the team that brings the championship home is The Sabers and not the bills

Hearing Tree say the Sabres are doing "fine" is something I'd never thought to hear in my lifetime. Proud of the boys!

Just hearing tree talk about hockey is so nice to hear. He really enjoys talking about it ( Yes I’m sure he likes talking about other sports but this is probably his favorite )

Hearing Tree talk about hockey is like getting together with an old friend over some coffee. Peaceful and heartwarming ☺️

As a Devils fan I’m very happy about the way our season is going so far, hope we can keep it up!

Man I love your coverage of sports, like I can tell you genuinely care about these sports franchises and the game that's being played, but your humor and ability to roast LITERALLY every single team throughout the whole season is remarkably admirable 💯

As a Devils fan it feels so good to have hope again.

“Bring out yer dead!” for Columbus got an actual out-loud laugh out of me

Tree's music choices for these videos are always amazing. That track from NHL 98 really brought me back

Tree and hockey videos are a match made in heaven

That Kochetkov extension is a great signing. Not only is he an elite goalie for the future, they also signed him for super cheap. 2m AAV for a goalie that will be your starter for the next few seasons in an absurdly good contract. With Freddy slowing down, it's time to usher in the era of Pyotr.

I really thought this was an NBA vid when I saw the notification from youtube

The ‘juuse saros of the east’ got me 😂 Cause I’m a preds fan I love sorokin

Love when Urinatingtree does hockey. It’s beautiful

Aerith's theme successfully pandered to me as a 90s child lol

As an islander fan the main reason why we’re total shit right now is because Lou didn’t do Jack-diddly to improve the offense in the offseason. And don’t throw injuries at me either they’d still suck even if they were fully healthy. You can’t run back the same team and expect a different result

As a Canes fan, I think I speak for all of us when I say I really couldn't care less about the power play anymore. It's been so depressingly bad this year that I've resorted to playing Yakety Sax for the full 2 minutes they're on a power play

As a western conference fan, this soothes the pain a little bit. Thanks tree

Really wish we got more hockey content from you, Tree. I get you're mainly a football channel but your hockey content is great and it's too bad we only get a small handful of vids from you a year.

Let's go Buffalo! Three point out of a wild card spot with three games in hand, with the youngest team in the league!

You nailed it with Detroit. I'm not quite sure what to say about this team and people are starting to turn on Yzerman. I hope something can work out because things aren't looking good.

I'm really quite looking forward to the Western Conference video. I have a feeling Tree's roasting of the Vancouver Canucks' front office for their mistreatment of Bruce Boudreau will be one for the ages.

Now that football is winding down, we finally get Tree hockey content again. God bless.

Sick made it in a Urinatingtree vid at 9:50 with my Sabres getting scored on in Ottawa. It's only pain as a buffalo sports fan.

Yep, it’s Jim Montgomery. He’s allowing the Bruins defence to contribute more on the offensive side. And they also have McAvoy as a right shot D, sooo…. But as a Canucks fan, I’ll be honestly happy to see them win. I wish we had that kind of locker room culture and management, and I hope you tear them in the next video. EDIT: Damn, I'm so happy for them now.

FINALLY! Tree's back on the NHL! 😁

Pyotr's extension makes sense because both Raanta and Freddie are at the end of their contracts and the kid has shown massive upside in the time he's been here. Next season he will be beyond the AHL talent wise

I'm scared for the Stars. Not the team, but who they're coached by.

Honestly I’m just shocked this vid wasn’t delayed for three Greatest Games in the NFL playoffs

As a Caps fan, thank you for having Ovi’s 800th as the outro. The team has some signs of progress and possible hope. Remember how many players were on IR? Well, there are still a few pieces on it. Brown and Carlson being such. Good news is that the pieces brought in either before or during the season have panned out so far. The team could be an intriguing watch in the post season even if it does mean going 7 games and breaking my heart.

Eastern conference is such a unit this year. Playoffs should be exciting with a ton of juggernauts in the east and a bunch of turbulence in the west. Can’t wait for it.

The Aerith Theme with the Habs never gets old. Love both :_)

Man I look forward to you absolutely tearing into the Canucks for the Western conference haters guide.

Thanks for doing a hockey video!! I've watched more games this season than the last 10 seasons. It's been fun. Go Kraken!

4:18 - Elsewhere in the KZfaq Universe, Steve Dangle would be screaming about being a goaltender.

As an isles fan you've summed it up perfectly we are in a eternal damn nation until something happens wether we make move during the trade deadline or we blow it up

I don't know a lot about hockey, but I love that UTree keeps sticking Command and Conquer music into the background of his videos!

As an Islander fan Please make the pain end

Tree thank you for putting this out entertaining as always and looking forward for the west to see how my kings are doing in your honest and funny eyes hope your day has been wonderful

Boston is playing hockey like they forgot to change the difficulty from beginner's mode.

Bruins look unstoppable right now.

Trees analysis of the Rangers is pretty much all of us Rags fans. Kakko and Alexis need to get it together for them to take the next step. Alexis especially.

Glad you mentioned Fil's progression, he's been great for the Rangers this season. Hopefully something clicks for the team, and they go on a real tear. Because they certainly have the talent. (Also Gallant needs to learn how to coach, or find a taxi)

Devils hockey is fun to watch and they’re good. I never thought I’d see the day (no seriously).

I'm surprised you didn't mention another problem with the Penguins: backup goaltending Tristan Jarry (at least when he's healthy) has been playing incredibly well this season but he has NO help. Casey DeSmith has been absolute shit and I doubt Dustin Tokarski can really be a solution to that problem. I hope this team brings in some help for Tristan once the trade deadline is here

Bro your voice and delivery are perfect for sports commentary. I don’t even watch hockey I’m still gonna watch this video

Part of the terms for the sale of the Sens is a clause that guarantees the team stays in Ottawa and the building of a new arena, so they aren't going anywhere

Nothing like some fresh off the press UTree before work

As a leaf’s fan, my heart has been traumatized by the totality of failure that is the leaf’s. Every conceivable way to lose in overtime in game 7 in the first round has been carried out by my team. This year, same as years prior, if I see them get to game 7 in the first round again, I just start pouring…

Awesome video and can’t wait to see what happens for the rest of this season up until the playoffs. Hope to see some great action between the Hurricanes and Capitals in February for the Stadium Series

Considering Frederik Andersen just got injured again (vs. Dallas, Jan. 25th), maybe the Canes signing Koochie to an extension wasn't as bad of an idea as it seemed. I do admit it's a big gamble on someone without majors experience, but he is rock solid in the creases and I'd bet the front office is thinking they could be looking at a potential next big franchise goalie. Fingers crossed we don't have to shut down Pacioretty for the season, though, because he looked like he was going to take off like a rocket.

As a hockey fan when I typed in "urin" to YT's search bar it warmed my heart to see "Urinating Tree NHL" pop up first, behind "Urinating Tree Cowboys", of course.

UrinatingTree, I love how you used the same music for the Habs as you did in your last video for them. Very good motif and detail.

10:35 Hey! That's noted 1st pair defender and Jaccob Slavin replacement Jalen Chatfield to you!

I am a little disappointed in the lack of progress from the Wings, but I still trust the Yzerplan. I'm not really too fussed that the goaltending hasn't worked out, he took a (fairly cheap) chance on two guys who could be absolute studs if everything goes right. It didn't, or at least hasn't, but it's not the end of the world. With some very high end prospects on the way, and with Stevie's drafting acumen and his ability to find diamonds in the rough, I'm still confident. I'll take the way I feel about this year, where we're at, and where we're trending over ANY of the later Ken Holland years.

Florida might be living out 'There Can Be Only One' for quite some time.

Not my Panthers hiring the coaching equivalent of Urban Meyer and then wondering why they keep losing.

Power is already a dominant force in the league rn, it may not look like that counting stats wise but his advanced numbers are pretty nutty and the eye test confirms it

Love Trees’ Hockey vids thank you Tree

I don't know why but Tage Thompson just gives me Dave Andreychuk vibes, all he does is score

Can't wait for you to cover the shitshow that is the Vancouver canucks this year

How I feel about my team. Keep #8 scoring. Playoffs? yes that's acceptable but keep 8 scoring.

as a sabres fan it makes me sad to see ullmark basically make history with the bruins, if he stayed another year with the sabres , they would probably be near the top. But least we're 1 or 2 years off, depends if Levi immediately plays or goes to Rochester next year Hell don't forget about Dahlin also, he's having an amazing year

its good to hear Tree is back and talking hockey, but as a Leafs fan .. shaddup Tree!

I've been dying for another hockey video just to see what your take on my Sabres would be, and I wasn't disappointed. I'd hoped they'd make a push for a playoff spot, and while it's been nice to see it actually happen, that disastrous 8 game losing streak last November hurts even more now. Now, to your other points about Power and UPL. Power is gonna be something great. He gains confidence with each and every game. He's already a great skater and puck handler, at least in the offensive zone. Still too nonchalant in his own zone, though, not unlike Dahlers was in his first two seasons or so. There's not quite as much of a hurry for him to develop as you suggest though, Tree. This team is doing its best to push for the post season but neither the coaching staff or management team is in a hurry to get ahead of schedule. Patience from Donnie Meatballs and Adams is what's finally helped this team get over the hump and start to be respectable again. Power's only a small part of the defensive issues, though. Our top pairing is set in stone for a long time, now. I love Dahlers and Sammy. Dahlers is a beast offensively and the both of them are lights out in their own end. Power will get there but he needs a more dependable partner. It saddens me that Joker has fallen off so hard. The third pairing is almost a void, though Boosh's play has been cleaner and a bit more involved lately. I'm really hoping that Adams gets weird at the deadline and goes after Gostisbehere or Chychrun to help shore up the bottom six. The forwards (excepting the 4th line, Jost, Cozey and Tuch) also need to play better defense in general. The forwards are always waiting for a breakout pass, and for good reason with this team's speed and skill, but it causes them to overskate, make bad passes and generally fail to support in the defensive zone, leading to opposing offenses getting the run of our entire slot area. UPL is a bit different, though. I'd hoped he'd break into the roster this year and he's exceeded my wildest expectations. He's exciting to watch and he's hungry as hell. His numbers aren't great due to the aforementioned poor D but the team has really rallied around this kid. I really hope he's the future but goalie development is always a crapshoot so I'll just let that play out as it will. Even if we don't make it this year, the Sabres are finally gonna be a problem for the NHL and I couldn't be happier as a lifelong Sabres fan.

Hockey’s back on the channel let’s go. Too bad my isles are freefalling

Football season is almost over thank god. Missed your hockey content and my devils are finally not sucking

UTree hockey videos. His best content.

Glad you got this out before I leave for my cruise. The Wi-Fi is $20 a day on the ship.

Love the music when he talk about the habs! He is a Habs fan, no doubt about it

Sabres fan here. This IS our version of the playoffs

For the Sabres they're also the youngest team so the future is hopefully bright haha. UPL (UkkoPekka Lukkokenen) has gotten more confident every game it feels like and have had injuries with Comrie so we don't know really what we have in him yet. Feels like every year with the Sabres there would be bright spots that would quickly get snuffed out, but this team feels so much different!

I love your take on the Red Wings; as a fan it's really hard to make judgments of this team.

I see you Tree, using Twisted Metal music during your takes on Carolina and Columbus!

Idk I anyone noticed, but Carolina be going to Overtime/Shootouts almost every damn game

When that NHL 2000 menu music kicked in a tear dropped from my eye.

Bruins are going insane right now

Red Wings = redefining the team sitting idle on the hamster wheel. New coach or not.

As a panthers fan I’m just depressed. All I wanted was my team to be good for a little while after all the bad years we’ve gone through and instead we are back to mediocrity with few ways to remedy our issues

Finally an NHL vid!

Said this on another video: it's funny how the Devils' record is so much better in January than in December, but you could argue their actual level of play was *better* in December and they just weren't getting a lot of puck luck. This month they've had some issues with their depth on offense and defense, but their top guys like Hughes, Hamilton, and even Vanecek in net are keeping them strong. They're still the youngest team in the league, so I think this week-plus break for them is coming at a very good time, hoping to see Marino back on the blue line soon and maybe a Timo Meier trade(?); those two would potentially make them a playoff favorite.

Speaking of Hockey (NY Rangers are part of the Eastern Conference), MSG might lose its liquor license because of its facial recognition tech to kick out lawyers who go against Dolan. Dolan now has decided to ditch its $12 drinks at the Garden and has urged his customers to harass the CEO of the NYS liquor board in response to the NYS's threat of revoking the MSG's Liquor License. You just cannot make this stuff up! I just learned this from today's (1/27/2023) NY Post Newspaper's front page.

This hockey season has be great so far

I’m not worried about the Red Wings. Bert’s just had some of the worst luck with injuries this season & no one could have seen Varna’s troubles that hopefully he’s work through. Larkin’s not going anywhere and they get some assets by selling at the deadline. The kids are performing well despite it all and they’re the future of the team. Continue to trust the Yzerplan, people

I don't know how you do football and hockey but by God you're a genius

The Bruins acquired Bertuzzi and signed Pasta to an 8 year extension.

Who just likes hearing NHL 2000 music being played once we're at the Penguins segment?

Whoah. The Aerith theme on an NHL video. Dope!

Ooohhh, I can't wait to hear Tree talk about the Kraken

As a passive Sens fan, I'm actually not disappointed with goaltending. Structure and consistency is the bigger issue but I'm willing to let it slide 'cause rebuild. All is well enough and there's a lot of hope for the future

Well. Avs have won 6 in a row. Which is nice. Still some glaring holes because of injuries but it seems like the goalie situation has been mostly figured out.

I love your videos, man. Are you planning on doing a Legacy of Failure soon? As an Arizona Cardinals fan, I would love to see an Arizona Cardinals 66-years of failure legacy. I also love your history videos. So I would love to learn about the Islanders fiasco or Dollar Bill Wirtz.

Hockey! Seat Geek! This video has it all.

As a Leafs fan since the days of the Original Six, oh man did that nail it.

Now this video is what I’ve been waiting for

As a person who saw the devils vs stars last night... and devils were outplayed but vanecek made like 3 breakaway saves... VS PAVALSKI AND BENN... then WINS OVERTIME!? they are SO GOOD, they won in overtime, Jack hughes scored bc hes a god. they're gonna be good, everybody, WATCH OUT!

Woo! NHL video from tree!

Wow after so many nfl videos we finally get a hockey video!

The thing really going for Montreal is that you *can* build a team around Suzuki and Caufield. The two of them together are scary effective and Suzuki alone is top tier material. What we really need is a good defense, and especially an experience quarterback of sorts. Someone who can replace Weber as a solidifying presence who keeps the defense game tight in tough situations, especially since our goaltender situation is difficult with no real heir to Carey Price. Unless we snatch a proper goaltender from somewhere in the league, we've got a couple of years to go before the young ones have gained enough experience.
