My Honest Opinion on All 32 NHL Organizations: 2023 Edition

This is false, you truly hate my favorite team and my favorite team alone

Shannon, thank you for your dedication to bringing your opinion, news, and insight to the game we love. Watching hockey became even more interesting and entertaining after I discovered you a few years ago, listening to your input helps pass by the time as well. Your commitment to the game and bringing us the facts is incredible.

The Sabres have won the fans back through last season. The building was empty at the start of the season, no one wanted to go including myself. After the fans realized this team was able to continue to win and contend for the playoffs, they started showing up again. The building was packed and rocking every night in the second half of the season. I think all Sabres fans can agree we are extremely grateful for this organization finally putting a product on the ice that we are all proud of and that shares the same passion for this game and this team that us fans have. LET'S GO BUFFALO!!!!!!!!!

Shannon you are absolutely killing it with that Utica tarp. Godspeed man

Love the 32 team videos. Helps get through the NHL off-season. The time and effort in making the videos is amazing.

I go back to the 70's with the NHL, and the attendance today, generally speaking, is miles ahead of what it used to be in those days, when you had teams in Oakland , Kansas City and other places, where they were drawing crowds of less than 6-7,000. Even markets that are, for the most part, healthy, like LA and St, Louis and Pittsburgh, went through some rough times drawing people into their buildings.

Bolts also got lucky with their owner, guys buys up the restaurants and bars around the arena, buys the team expects to take a loss every year with the team, donates heavily to charity in the area through team events and makes it all back through his real estate around the arena. That helps out a ton, knowing if the product on the ice is good the people will spend spend spend around the arena when going to games.

Columbus had some of the highest single-day attendance records throughout the season, including multiple sellouts. Despite being bottom 5 almost all year, people kept coming to watch hockey. Columbus is indeed a hockey town and it hurts when others write us off. I just hope we can finally get some playoff success soon.

It’s astounding how many Hartford Whalers alumni are coaching/managing NHL clubs…. i.e. Dean Evason, Ron Francis, Pat Verbeek, Paul Maurice (last head coach), among others.

So many props for the time stamps. Thanks for not forcing me to search for my division. Found you recently, really like your content. Many thanks.

I laughed when you mentioned the camera angle for Sharks games. It’s so damn high.

Woooooo New Jersey!!!

Hopefully attendance in NJ continues to go up as the team gets even better!

Good overview of the league. Keep up the good work.

Hello from Utica, thanks for representing our city for this video

Vegas attendance: if/when the team falters in the future they will be able to fall back on fans of visiting teams coming in to see the road team. At a minimum this will supplement their regular attendance in a way that doesn’t apply to any other NHL city.

I appreciate your balance with this. - An Oilers fan

If there is an attendance problem in Florida next year I will travel from Finland to Florida to fix that by one.

If the Flyers keep Torts for his contract term, I'm perfectly fine with Briere starting out here. Hiring Jones has many upset at not looking outside the organization... however, Jones is basically an on ice pro scout who's seen every team and every guy first hand for how many years now? He knows what works in the NHL and he openly admits the team is not good. Saying we don't have a #1 D man is such a breath of fresh air. I truly believe they're going to turn this ship around and in a couple years we'll be watching a really fun product on the ice that's ready to make that jump.
