Wild that a KZfaqr has better NHL coverage than ESPN

When Tree doesn’t have anything Bad to say about Ottawa, you know they’re getting better

Even if the NFL season is over, I always love getting notifications for the NHL or the MLB. Suffering Leafs fan and spoiled Yankees fan here thanks to my family.

I feel terribly for James Van Riemsdyk. Instead of going to a playoff team and competing for the cup, he has to stay in the dump known as Philadelphia because of Chuck’s incompetence

tree with the bonino chant got me crying 😂😂😂😂

the trade deadline, the time where we set aside our differences to laugh at the Philadelphia Flyers

It's always a great day when Tree uploads a new video.

12:34 - Yeah that was the biggest trade news this NHL season. Quick was on his final contract year with the Kings and have been with them for 15 years and won 2 Stanley Cups. That was a heavy move as he was not only a franchise legend but also a fan favourite even more. Well being then dealt to the Las Vegas Golden Knights was a stepp up. I fully understand he did not want to report to the Blue Jackets who is no cup runner. What I would like to see Quick do regardless is representing Team USA in the IIHF World Championships if eliminated from the play-offs. He have NEVER competed in that international tournament at all in his career and would be a good career merit! Only 1 OG & 1 WCH, thats it.

07:55 Best part ever.

Tree definitely chose to do a Raycon ad this time so he could flex that pool table (it worked, I’m jealous)

“Thank god for Kaprizov” that aged well

With these gambles that Dubas has made, he’s essentially put his job on the line. And if they fail again, I cringe to think what Ballard’s ghost will do without the sweet TV revenues.

The amount of times I just put the Nick Bonino section on repeat was probably not healthy but boy I needed that laugh.

This trade deadline was a full week of great entertainment. Just a complete arms race for days. I've never seen anything like it in the NHL.

Every time Tree uploads a Yinzer gains it’s wings

It surprises me so much that the NHL allows the Lehigh Valley Phantoms to play in Philly as the Flyers.

Montreal, Columbus and Anaheim: If you suck but don’t get mentioned it means you didn’t screw up

7:53 Pictured: Yinzer having a Treezure

oh the timing on that Fletcher comment

Chuck Fletcher deserved a Lolcow of the Week award here. It's even worse than what they did at the deadline; at a meeting with season ticket holders afterward, he replied to fans frustrated by the lack of trades by saying "well i have an app that tells me trade value for these sort of things!"

Never expected to hear a Jet Set Radio track on this channel 😂, I’m all for it Tree

It’s a shame Poile never got that cup with Nashville but this was something Nashville needed to do. Draft will be there this year so there is that to look forward to.

Chuck Fletcher for lolcow of the season

I love the music choices, and I'm only three teams in. Star Fox 64, Sonic 3D Blast, great choices.

As a canucks fan I enjoy the suffering that comes with every NHL video, I wish the league could market better so content creators had more incentive to create nhl videos

Remember when Homer Simpson poured milk into the corn flakes and it caught fire? That's the Flyers in a nutshell.

sabres getting cozens to that 7 mil is such a steal, especially when you look at Tage and what he wouldve been worth if not signed yet its only cozens second year and hes doing so good already

Thank you for giving the Jonathan Quick situation the gravitas it deserves. Not merely a franchise icon who was emblematic (with Kopi, Brownie, and Drew) of the team maturing to a new level, but the quiet leader of the locker room and his wife Jackie was the house mother to the players, hosting holiday parties for the single guys, getting new players acclimated to Los Angeles (which is a job of work), etc. Watching JQ32 rediscover his Conn Smythe form for the Golden Twits must surely be a new definition of H-E-DoubleHockeySticks. Sigh. (Yes, I'm thrilled beyond measure to get Gavrikov and Korpisalo will probably prove necessary when Copley regresses to the mean. But there must have been alternatives. Sean Walker is making the same money as Gavri, and if Durzi hadn't gotten concussed, Walks would be out of the lineup now. Seems we might have done Walker, Copley, and a draft pick [maybe a pair of 2s? But I'll do 1st and 3rd if need be] for the Columbus 2, and let Quick finish out his deal, at least. Ah well.)

When sports needed him the most...UrinatingTree comes to save the day. LFG, SPORTSBALL!

11:04 “A Cycle of Agony” is a perfect title for a history of the Minnesota Wild. Might just steal it for a Tree-style video I want to do similar to his “Legacy of Failure” videos.

As a B's fan I'm enjoying the season but I am really hoping they don't pull a '18-'19 Lightning. With the veterans they got I think they can avoid it but there's always that risk

I swear being a Flames fan will single-handedly drive me to alcoholism. It’s just pure pain all the way down with this team

Always good to have tremendous NHL coverage from an American YT channel. Salute to you sir!

I guess we know to pencil in the Canucks and Flyers as non-playoff teams in 2023-24! I don't know what the hell they're doing.

This video came out 3 hours ago, but I should add that Kochetkov is back in Raleigh and he posted a shutout. That's his 4th shutout. In 20 games. And he's tied for 2nd in the entire league in shutouts. Also I smiled when you referenced BONINO BONINO BONINO. Grew up a Pens fan but the toxicity those 2 Cups brought into the fanbase made me embrace my hometown Canes. Still got a soft spot though and loved Bones when he was there in 16 and 17

Chuck Fletcher was then fired the day after this was posted.

If the Yotes end up with Bedard after all the toxicity from their fans over how journalists didn't kiss ownership's ass with the arena stuff, I'm gonna be pretty bummed out. They don't deserve to be rewarded for that toxicity.

I’ve heard of both teams winning a trade, but with CGY and FLA we may have the first example of both teams losing a trade

The Panthers finally got fully healthy two games ago and it showed against Pittsburg and Vegas. The forward lines are the way they should be, Bennett and Barkov coming back gives us two excellent two way centers in addition to Eetu Luostarinen taking that next step in his development. They with everyone healthy we have a legitimate top 6 with decent scoring depth again. On the Blueline, Brandon Montour, Josh Mahura and Radko Gudas have been excellent. Forsling has been solid as always. The letdowns on defense have been Ekblad and Marc Staal. Ekblad looks like he needs time off in the worst of ways. It’s very clear he hasn’t fully recovered from the grade 2 groin strain he suffered earlier this season and it shows out there. He doesn’t look as confident with the puck and when shooting the puck, and he can’t transition as quick as he needs to in order to gap up on opposing puck carriers. Hopefully he does a lot of maintenance during the offseason to come back ready to go and hungry next year. As for Marc Staal, he’s just cooked. The mind is there but his body no longer can keep up. I think he needs to hang them up. He’s had a very good career but it’s clear he no more to give. As for the man in net, he was meh earlier in the season but since January, he’s been excellent, having been a big reason we’ve won games. If he can keep up that play going forward, we have a legitimate shot to make the playoffs this year. What this team needs to do is win games. And string wins together in this final stretch. No more win 2 lose 1. They need to win 5-6 in a row to have a shot this year, otherwise they aren’t making it. Either way, this year has been tough to watch for the fans. The team has talent, but injuries and very poor coaching have cost us. We have cap space coming available in the offseason so it’ll be interesting to see how the FO approaches the free agency. There’s been words that they want to add a quality D-man, and honestly, that’s what I hope for as well. Assuming Ekblad returns to form next year, and assuming we decide to retain Gudas, a top 4 Dman would solidify our blueline and make it one of the better units in the league.

I don't know jack about hockey, but I'll still watch knowing Tree makes good content.

always great to see NHL content from the piss tree, just a little tip on your billiards break, stay down on the ball and follow all the way thru like a golf swing, more spin and more power.

"Lou Lamorello has finally woken from his nap" Lmao nah man that was a hibernation.

“Thank god for Kirill Kaprizov” …aaaaaand he’s out for a month.

I don’t know how you could call the Preds’ playoff aspirations dead. We’re more hopeful now than we were before we sold off lol.

2:35 man 3D Blast had some great music, if only the actual game was any good.

playoffs are gonna be something else this year. the east is loaded and the west is wide open. im hoping for some legendary moments, games, and series. may the best team win

There is nothing like tree's NHL analysis. Way better than anything else on the planet.

Can’t wait to experience immense levels of pain again - Canucks fan Edit: fuck, those last 2 minutes were brutal

I know nothing about hockey. I love these videos.

It’s sad to see a goaltender legend, like Jonathan quick go I don’t blame Drew doughty Anza, Kopitar, and Jonathan quick himself be upset about this

Adding F-ZERO GX music for the top 3/the Isles and Penguins in the Metropolitan division fits so well, with how crazy it gets to finish in 1st place (especially in the Outer Space track, the song you added for it)

As a Wings fan, losing Hronek was a bit more of a surprise than losing Bertuzzi whose name has been in the trading rumors for a couple years now. I felt Hronek had earned a fairly permanent spot on the 2nd pairing. Especially with Edvinsson looking solid in GR, I felt they could've made a good pairing as early as next season.

Leading with the Pilotwings 64 track is a power move. Also, I can't hear any naysaying over Jason Zucker's ascendance to deity

13:28 is going to age like milk when Vegas wins the cup

It hurts seeing Orlov and Eller go, the era of that Stanley Cup team is definately over. I mean it was basically over after loosing its depth pieces like Niskanin and Orpic, along with of course Holtby, but this just solidifies it.

3:56 like prime Barcelona

Once again, Don Waddell impressed me with his moves. Despite the Devils winning the bidding war for Meier, the price was probably Nishikin and/or Jarvis, especially with rumors that the Sharks wanted a top prospect & a young roster player from Carolina as compensation. Likely too high of an ask for the Canes to take it seriously. Instead, the Canes lose a prospect who just resigned in Europe on a multiyear deal along with a couple of mid-round draft picks, and they address their PP woes while adding sorely needed size & physicality on the RW in return. Not big trades, but quality ones.

Rangers fan here. Drury: By some grit. Kane and Tarasenko won't give that to you. Tyler Motte is a good choice, but only for limited fourth line minutes. In retrospect, they should've got Jeannot and Eyssimont instead of Tampa.

This is one of the few years I came out of the trade deadline happy with the caps instead of angry. They did what they desperately needed to do, got younger. There’s been a clear improvement with the team as a whole since the trades. Sandin is looking like a godsend for the defense too with 5 points in his first 3 games and solid defensive play.

Chuck Fletcher was just fired lmao

After David Poile retiring, I think we need a revisiting: Nashville Predators.

Tree, if it's any consolation, the Oilers have played 5 games since acquiring Ekholm...and they've won 4 of them. Including coming back from 0-2 down to beat Boston 3-2 IN Boston

You got me with the Jack Johnson comment. He's truly an elite defenseman. Elite as Flacco in the 2020s

If you’re ever feeling bad, just know that you’ve never admitted you needed an app to determine fair trade value as a professional GM

Lmao Fletcher gets canned 14 hours after this was posted after the goat saying somehow Chuck Fletcher still has a job.

The flyers are an embarrassment to Philadelphia, they'd rather smell their own farts and have unnecessary controversy (provorov deciding not to wear the pride night shirt, Tony DeAgelo being himself) all while the Phillies, Eagles and Union went to the championship game/series and the Sixers are title contenders

I watch you tree for NHL news 😄

Love the JSRF reference with “Shape Da Future” playing!!

Tree starting a video with pilot wings. That's amazing nostalgia lmao. Also Fletcher is fired yay

Been looking forward to this upload!

Hearing literally everyone talk about Buffalo's core and their future should be a lolcow at this point. It's been the same hype and disappointment since they got the Pegula's, and it never gonna change.

At this point in college and NHL I feel like WTF is offsides is hockey's version of WTF is a catch in football. There's been literally no consistency at all.

8:00 Ooh! I loved Jet Set Radio Future!

When you consider that Jennot got healthy scratched in game 6, the trade for him looks AWFUL.

Great pick on the Pilot Wings 64 music.

Why would you assume the Coyotes will get Connor Bedard? They've literally never had the #1 overall pick *ever* . He'll be a Duck or a Blackhawk, which will be even worse for the NHL than a star player going to a franchise that desperately needs one.

What’s the music that started during the Chicago segment?

If I can speak for all Devils fans - we are in heaven. This season doesn't matter because we have a superstar signed for his 22-28 year old seasons and 3 other star forwards aged 24,24, and 21. As long as we sign Bratt and Timo we are ready to contend for the next 6+ seasons. As good as we have been this year we have 2 of the top 10 D prospects coming and not giving up Holtz (his rookie year struggle is no biggie. I keep pointing out that it looks just like Timo's rookie year. I still see him becoming a perennial 30g 30a wing. He'll be on a line where some combo of Jack & Timo or Hischier & Mercer will already be doing the heavy lifting dominating possession and chance quality. I can't wait to see what these guys are capable of. If Luke and Nemec are just #2 and #3 level Dmen we're fine, but if they're better we can be fucking scary.

Just a day later, Chuck Fletcher is gone

Love how the highlight of my team from this video is "CBJ have eastern conference low 40 points"

"I'm calling both games!"

As someone who started in 2018-2019 working for the Sharks video board crew...watching this team rot over the years has been extremely painful 😩

18:50 Bettman’s right, it’s just that somehow 2 AHL teams are playing in the National this year

All my life needs now is an hour long version of tree chanting bonino

Eyyo, Jet Set Radio Future soundtrack!

7:53 BONINOBONINOBONINOBONINO

Preds fan here, and man did Poile cook hard. It seems Smashville has a bright future.

I hope the Stars don't piss me off to the point where we have to retool the core.

Taylor Hall returning to practice next week. The Bruins are about to have a 3rd like with both Taylor Hall and Tyler Bertuzzi.

The Coyotes being the NHLs salary cap assistance program makes so much sense.

Tree on point yet again. He don’t miss.

_"There is also some guy named Timo Meier that they found on the side of the road as well."_ Oof. 😂

HAHAHA I thought he was going to mention Jack Edwards when it came to the Bruins!!!

what was the song playing for the maple leafs?

He’s right on the money: Pens are absolutely the new Red Wings. And as a Wings fan I gotta tell you, it won’t be pretty

Watching this after they fired chuck. Yikes lol

0:39 k can we talk about that pool break though???

I'd like to see the Kraken in the playoffs

Why couldn’t Philly have been good Thai year. It ruined the possibility for all 4 Phillis teams to lose their respective sports finals

The Caps are mostly reloading the core to keep Ovi productive enough to shatter Gretzky's record.
