1. Great series, THG, watched all the episodes! Like how you did a lot on the NHA and the development of pro hockey to put the NHL into its larger context. And now that you are done… the regular season starts!

2. While I do understand that the Conn Smythe is awarded to the MVP of the playoffs, seeing it go to a player on the losing team just seems wrong to me.

3. I watched every episode, though may favorites were from the start of the NHL or NLHL (No Livingstone Hockey League), to the first Expansion. It was a great series.

4. When do we start the conversation for Shan making the hall of fame for broadcasting???

5. This series was awesome. Didnt get to all the videos but its a great playlist to go back to

6. Love these videos. I've watched multiple times.

7. We should get a "it's a bad matchup for Boston" count for the series

8. The Wings with one of the biggest late season chokes I've seen. Funny enough, the Detroit Tigers just made the playoffs because of a similar choke by the Twins so we've been on both sides of a late season collapse this year.

9. As a Florida fan, I would say this was the most important, because it was this year.

10. Thank you for my Daily hockey learning session wouldn’t miss one. Thank you Shannon!

11. Panthers are doubted again. People really hate this team

12. Fantastic series Shannon, bravo. Learned so much about the great history of our game, well worth the watch

13. Cats winning it all and redeeming themselves after 2023 was beautiful

14. I enjoyed this video series.

15. If your name/last name is Connor, chances are youll be good at sports.. mainly hockey

16. How did Nylander not score 100 points this year? He was on pace for like 120 for most of the season. Then with like 10 games to go he only needed like 4 points to get there. What happened?

17. I agree with McDavid winning the Conn Smythe. He deserved it. And i didn't care at all that he didn't come to claim it. That was the Panthers moment not his moment. It was probably one of the worst moments of his life. Anyone offended by this needs to change their priorities in life.

18. 13:00 "What I thought was amazing about this was …10 million of that cap hit goes to Pittsburgh."

    There is a bit of an asterisk on getting out of most of Karlsson's deal in that the Sharks took back some bad contracts. In the first year they were actually paying more than that 10M in savings between Hoffman's 4.5M, Granny's 5M, and Rutta's 2.75M (12.25M). The second season it's just Granny and Rutta (7.75M), and then those contracts are off the books.

    Granny had a fantastic year despite being treated as a cap dump and Rutta was serviceable, but Hoffman was just horrendous. Of course the biggest key for the Sharks is the 10M being off the books after this year…they don't care about cap space this year, nor did they last year, but in the final year or two of EK65's deal they might actually want to start spending and now they'll have that extra space.

19. Yes i watched all of the videos in this series & have enjoyed them greatly.

20. Don't forget that Mike Babcock was hired as the Blue Jackets coach on July 1st, and then fired before training camp even started because of looking through players' phones. That probably contributed to their disastrous season

21. This has been one of my favorite series, thanks Shannon!

22. I learned a lot of new things about the NHL watching this series like how Latendresse was the first ever player to wear the number 84. Keep up the awesome work!

23. The Stars clinch the top spot in the West for the first time in eight years, but again, had trouble winning at home in the postseason especially in Game 1s which finally caught up to them in the WCF as they would lose again in the third round for the second consecutive season. Hopefully, this coming season they'll finally get over the hump.

24. Started watching in the 60s. Great effort and video as always!

25. Alexander Barkov changing his name to Connor Barkov would be funny if that did happen 😂.

26. Best episode of all

27. I have thoroughly enjoyed this series of NHL history videos.

28. Really enjoyed this series — great way to spend the offseason!

29. I'm surprised you skipped the Babcock debacle.

30. For those potential ltir rules changes, I would like it to be if you where on ltir at the trade deadline & are still on ltir at the season end you cannot play in the first round.

31. “Brock Faber finished second in the Vezina voting” 😂

32. Great video series! 👍

33. just wanted to say this was THE series for me to watch this summer (and some of fall). Like including all TV shows and other channels, this was the one that I got excited for a would sometimes wait a few days so I could 'binge" some. Thank you for this! It was so fun and so good and really addicting and fun and interesting and learned so much!!

34. Peter Stastny had the franchise record with 139 points. MacKinnon beats it with 1 point.
