What is the most ridicolous stat you can think of?

It’s absurd to think the numbers Patty LaFontaine put up that year weren’t even close to being good enough to win MVP. 2 guys scored 76 goals that season and weren’t even in the conversation lol.

Sieloff on a pace of 82 goals in a season.. And he's gone

I have a nice stat for you, not only was Gordie Howe able to play with his son, it's the only father-son duo to connect on a goal. I think it was Gordie assisting and Mark scored. And that's absolutely crazy. To have a good chance, you have to have a son, in the late teens/early 20s, and he has to make it to the NHL, and you have to be on the same team, and Gordie did it with being a father at 27, which is insane. EDIT: I just saw it, it was Gordie's last playoff goal, and Mark assisted him.

5:14 Borna Rendulić was not only born in Croatia but also represents them internationally and he's played 15 NHL gsmes.

Fleury was amazing. Theo tied Sakic for points in the WHL. I hated Fleury because he was on the Flames but he was a great player. Too bad for all the demons that hurt his career.

Fleury's 3 short-handed hat-trick will never be broken. He should be in the Hall of Fame for sure.

My mom treated Mario in the hospital. He signed a hockey stick for me. I still have it

Canadians representing 41% of the league today is still impressive considering that we are 10 times less populated than the USA

How the penguins get all time greats in pairs. (Jags/Lemiux, Malkin/Crosby). Someone is pulling some serious voodoo magic.

Doan deserved that trick...Gordie playing with both of his sons nobody will do that again, EVER!

The Sieloff story reminds me of Don Cherry's training camp with the Maple Leafs. he ran over a young touted leafs prospect with an open ice hit and ole Punch Imlach, famous jerk coach, yelled "get that 50 cent hockey player off my ice!" Poor Don, blew his last chance.

4:35 did I hear Gretzky used as an example of the increase in American players in the NHL?

Wasnt Neil who destroyed Sieloff, it was Bobby Ryan, who wasnt a fighter. Everyone hated Sieloff for doing that to MacArthur

Finally someone mentions Jeremy Williams!

I seem to recall Gordie playing with BOTH of his sons together... Was it the Whalers? Even more crazy .. .. ALL of them also had the opportunity to be on the same line together at some point.. On that on top of all those massive and crazy stats, I remember some real twisted irony about Mario Lemieux NOT being paid by the Penguins. Not sure if both of these additions to the mentioned stats in the video are fully and entirely accurate. Feel free to confirm and/or correct my far reach back into my grey matters well earned foggy recollection

Bonus fact to the Lemieux story that makes it more absurd: he returned on the same day of his last chemo treatment and scored 2 points.

Brett Hull - 741 goals Playing for a very eventful 20 years in the NHL, Hull was as gifted a scorer as they come. While many derided him for his lack of defense, Hull’s astonishing shooting accuracy and explosive speed, especially with the slapshot, made him a tough matchup during any game. Finishing with 741 goals and two Stanley Cups (1999 with Dallas and 2002 with Detroit), Hull’s achievement of scoring 86 goals in the 1990-91 season is bested by only one man, Wayne Gretzky, so no harm there. While never the craftiest skater or strongest player out on the ice, Hull simply knew how to shoot fast, straight, and true. Known as “The Incredible Hull” or sometimes “The Golden Brett,” Hull also had a reputation for being very blunt and outspoken on and off the ice. He was seen as having no filter and simply spoke up - for better or worse - on any aspects of the game, which made him a media favorite because of his candor. Despite never winning a championship with the team, Hull is seen to have his greatest moments with the St. Louis Blues and still holds numerous franchise records during his 11 seasons there. Furthermore, the Blues retired his no. 16 jersey in 2006, put up a statue outside the team’s arena, and even named a street after him, called the “Brett Hull Way”.

Fleury was a beast he just had demons

Good video. I will say that the part about Lemieux's per game numbers extrapolated over 84 games part is a bit misleading. For as amazing as that season was, he had the 3rd highest points per game for a season. Gretzky had higher points per game in 2 seasons, one where he had 205 points in 74 games, and one where he had 215 points in 80 games. About Gordie Howe, my favourite fact about his longevity is that between his first and his last NHL games of his career, Bobby Orr was born, made it into the NHL, played his whole NHL career, retired, and got inducted into the hall of fame!

In the graphics for the Art Ross Trophy there are some errors, 1990 is listed for both Gretzky and Lemieux, it was Gretzky who won that year. Lemieux won the missing 1988 year. You has also listed 1996 for both Lemieux and Jagr, it was Lemieux who won that year. Jagr won the missing 1995 year. Thanks for the video.

I saw the Freddie Andersen thumbnail and was like no way

Very good video! You should do one sometime one nhl legends that went undrafted their first year or two or three.

Datsyuk has never scored a hat trick in the regular season before, and only has one in the playoffs

Art Ross 1988 Lemieux 1990 Gretzky 1995 Jagr 1996 Lemieux Just a few inaccuracies or missing years in the graphic you showed but the underlying stat remains the same

I'd like to listen to Rob Talk Hockey with The Hockey Guy

Great episode rob love it

The actual number of Canadian players playing in the NHL hasn't changed much since the 70's. It was around 300 in 72, and it's still close to 300 today. The only thing that has changed is the percentage. The league has doubled in size, so teams had to look around the world to fill out their rosters. The sky isn't falling. Canadians aren't losing their place in the NHL.

People talk about how Gretsky's records can never be beaten. But Lemieux was the one who was going to get close or actually do it.

163 assists in one season or maybe 11 consecutive 100 assist seasons. I'll take any bet at any odds, right now, those two stats NEVER fall. Someone else points out in the comments that only 5 players have ever had 150 points in a season. POINTS. 163 ASSISTS?!?! IN ONE SEASON?!?! That's the most ridiculous crap ever. Prove me wrong.

Mario Lemieux say he’s 6 foot four but I’ve heard several people that know him say he’s actually 66

Rob I just gotta say , I fucking love you and your videos , never stop being dope

Hey Sieloff, we're talking Practice man. Talking about practice, I mean practice. It's just practice man

Here’s a fun fact I heard on the Capitals radio broadcast a week ago or so. During their first ever game they had a 1 goal lead at some point but eventually lost or tied the game. From then onward to last week they had finally dug themselves out of nearly a -800 goal differential and had finally scored 2 more goals than they had given up. With recent results I think they are back in the minuses.

Happy Gilmore has a good hockey record

All of that was nuts. Amazing even.

I was at that game in STL when Fleury scored his shorthanded hat trick. Not a fun game for a Blues fan.

7:14 That was a PRIME example of the difference between Gretzky and Mario. Mario had guys draped all over him constantly, and he was STILL able to make NASTY moves like that and score. If you even looked at Gretzky the wrong way, you were in the box.

5:18 there was another croatian who played in the nhl named borna rendulic and he played 16 games for the Avs

That Art Ross stat is bananas

Surprised you didn’t mention Kopitar when talking about the incredible players from countries you wouldn’t expect. 2 Stanley cups in 3 years, 2 selke trophies, 1 Lady Bing, 1000+ pts All from a country that only has 7 rinks total. One of only 3 slovenian players to ever play in the nhl.

I had a few guys in my high school team that were seniors when I was a freshman and they were so mad that I made the starting line they would head hunt in practice. I was fortunate to see it coming so I was fine, but those same idiots injured many of my teammates, including our captain and leading scorer

Broooo, can we get a close up of the aquascape???

Whats the song at the end?

Three things. One, a lot of Canadian players relocated in the U. S. And their kids are Americans. Two, USSR collapsed. I get the feeling we may see fewer Russians after Ukraine, but we'll see. Three, player development. The United States is just now seeing the fruits of the USNTDP and youth leagues like Little Caesars and teams like Honey baked. SHL, Liiga... Players are getting paid to play overseas. You don't have to make the NHL to make a good living... Although it is the best way for top talent to become filthy rich.

High quality content

RIP MIKE BOSSY🙌🐐

love the cat

Bill Mosienko scored the fastest hat trick in NHL history in 1952. He did it in 21 seconds.

Spits? Y E S!

Sieloff is a good example for all those other ignorant NHL hopefuls. Aggressive is a good trait to have, but if you're equally aggressive to your own teammates, No one will want you around no matter how skilled or how much potential you have. You can always teach skills to unskilled people. You can't un-asshole an asshole.

Gordie Howe could have legitimately played against a guy, his son, and his grandson.

5:04 TORATARO!!!!

How are you going to have Freddy Andersen on the thumbnail not wearing Canes gear?

There is a player that is 5’5 in the nhl so a little shorter then fleury

I remember watching the Doan game live on the phone with my sister poor thing was so patient as I was yelling at Doan to do one more shot and I remember jumping up and down like an idiot saying he got it he got it! Shame that man never got a cup fantastic leader and he deserved it

I saw your every child matters T-shirt , and thought ... omg he is a Canadian .. then realized this is a hockey channel , of course your Canadian... im too tired to exist today. Nice shirt BTW, time to hold Trudope and government responsible, not just the Church. Remember those 2 were teammates, don't let government pass the blame.

The most ridiculous stat I can think of is Toronto's failure to win a cup since 67

Guys who fight their teammates during practice is pretty much he lowest bar you can set. There’s no secret guys will be guys, doesn’t matter if you’re wearing the same colours but there you go.

That was Bobby Ryan, not Chris Neil

I was shocked when I noticed that 4 of the top 10 scorers this year are American (Matthews, Gaudreau, Tkachuk, and J.T. Miller) and only 3 are Canadian (McJesus, Stamkos, and Marner).

Sieloff. I couldn’t remember who he was. Started feeling bad for the man. But this reminded me of the horrible injury to MacArthur. And the other attempts. What was that man even thinking.

‘69 goals. Nice’ 😂😂😂

How about the Rick Nash unassisted hatty

imagine if orr played 600 more games or bossy played 700 more games. bossy would have past Gretzky for goals.

okay......that a Corgi?

It was Bobby Ryan who fought Seiloff not Chris Neil

Shane Doan is the man! 💪🏽💪🏽

Anyone else here early?!?

DOGO!

Goran Bezina is Swiss...

Hey Rob, I would love to know what your answer to this. With Joe Thornton still chasing his Stanley cup, who are your best players in history, to never win a Stanley cup?

Check out Mike Korzemba Rob, he makes basketball videos similar to your

And somehow Howe doesn't have the record for most games played. Patrick Marleau has it

Ilya Lyubushkin never scores either lol

Auston Matthews has the second highest goals per Game rate of any leaf ever

I have to say that I was at the game where Doan got the hat trick and the worst part about it was that because he scored as time expired, the refs had to review it. The ENTIRE arena just waited for the review instead of leaving despite the game being a blowout and then the place went absolutely crazy after they announced the goal was good. Doan is a great guy and a great leader.

Here in first hour

My man Sieloff did nothing wrong, especially in the ”incident” with Stone

Why would you make a clickbait thumbnail like that? Freddie is most certainly NOT the all-time points leader for Denmark.

0,01 sec away form not scoring a hatty, what a legend.

Regarding international players in the NHL, over the past 25 or so years international players are being much better trained for the North American game. You rarely hear of "soft" European players anymore and I don't believe that's due to political correctness. International players know better what to expect in the NHL and many of them (Ovechkin, Chara, Forsberg, and many more) embrace the North American style.

As of today do you believe the Canucks will make the post-season? Because, I believe!

“Hat trick” is two words. It is not a “hattrick”

1981-2001 is 21 seasons, not 30 Wayne Gretzky is not American. Freddie Andersen doesn't lead his country in points like your thumbnail says. What is this trash?

I doesnt make sense to be blacklisted for this, someone shouldve claimed Sieloff and told him he had a guaranteed top 6 roster spot if he didnt get that physical with the main roster players. See how his physicality plays out in the regular season games. I mean i get thats probably not why he wasnt claimed, probably just didnt have the skill i mean both of those goals were flukes…but if it were, that physical presence on the ice is great to have on your side.

Last gladiator sports? MMA, Boxing, bareknuckle boxing, M1 globals ridiculously stupid armored combat sport. Yeah, hockey isn't quite up there :p

I don't think Lemieux is mentioned enough. One of the most underrated sports superstars IMO

Theo Fleury should get more credit. It’s amazing what he accomplished as someone with the IQ of a jelly fish.
