Number one tip to new fans- (No shit here) don’t worry at all about the lines and circles on the ice. It’s not important at first when you’re watching. They mean nothing after awhile. You have no idea how many people I’ve tried getting into hockey and their first question is “I just don’t understand all the stuff on the ice it’s too confusing to look at” WATCH THE PLAY, THE FLOW OF A GAME WHERE A TEAM IS BUZZING AROUND. Huge thing to touch on for newbies

Wish more people had this mindset. I’m sure new fans or casuals get pushed away from the sport because of how hard some veteran fans can be on newcomers. More people enjoying the sport is good for hockey.
@f.n04 2 роки тому
Yup. Unfortunately hockey has some of the most close minded, anti-change and ignorant fans of any sport.
@andrewhogan6533 2 роки тому
I’ll give you an example of why. Because in order to get casual fans to watch, you feel the need to start changing and adding stupid things to the game, to get people who don’t really care about the sport, just about all the new crap the sport is trying to do to get new fans. For most old school NFL fans, they can’t stand what’s become of the NFL with all the other extracurricular bs that goes on. So, you effectively push out what fans of the actual sport loved about the game in order to please people that only have a passing interest. If you like the game that much, jump on in, we just don’t want it to turn into a circus in order to get some new blood.
@grapeabyss1744 2 роки тому
The goalie thing is 100% accurate. In our Penguin fandom this has been the case since the last expansion draft. I still like you Jarry.
@soulessshadow5356 2 роки тому
I don't guess I understand why people hate on Jarry so much. I mean he's still young, and yeah he didn't have a great season this season, but he's not necessarily bad either. Does he have things he can improve on? of course he does, but as a goalie myself lemme tell ya, we ALWAYS have to be improving on things and making adjustments to better our game. People are a little to hard on Jarry in my personal opinion. Maybe it's because I'm not a Pens fan, but a lot of people were hating on Dobby from my Stars before that run last season when he showed he can still be the unbreakable machine, granted he didn't do well this season, but again I don't blame him I blame the other parts of our team like our D core.

@mobius1965 2 роки тому
This was my first year as a hockey fan. I probably don’t have any good observation. I decided I wasn’t going to learn analytics and stats outside of the very basics like goal numbers. It’s a great game, however I find myself chasing the puck the whole game. I’m not sure if everyone does it or not. I also can’t keep up with player changes that happen on the fly. This year during the offseason, I’m gonna learn terminology and try my best to keep up with the game. I love it so far and I plan to stick around for many more games to come.
@The_OvP 2 роки тому
@@mobius1965 hockey is VERY fast paced, hard to always know where the puck is. And if you pay attention you'll find the players don't even know where the puck is sometimes. With experience you be able to tell just by player positioning and movement (also look to where the players are looking they're almost always looking towards the puck). I love hockey and i'm glad more fans are coming, playoff hockey is top tier. Also the Minnesota state hockey tourney is superb, highly recommend looking at that.

A heads up for every new fan: 1. If your team is good is because you cheated and got gifted a team. If your team is not good, then everyone will be nice and act like they love your team. 2. Any time you win is the refs helping you. 3. You are not allowed to have any input because you are new and you must not know anything. 4. You are not allowed to win anything unless you have been a bottom 5 team for a decade, otherwise you don't deserve to enjoy the sport or win.

Am a newish fan, been watching for 2 years but the most confusing thing for me still isn't what penalties were called or not called, its what is a dirty hit? is it high, is it late compared to a clean hit cant tell the difference it all looks the same. So now all I do is follow what Shannon says - If he says its dirty then its dirty if he says its clean then its clean simple. All these fans replaying hits as evidence am like wait for me to watch the THG review then ill decide who I support. But above and beyond that the first rule I learned is if its your team then all their hits are clean and players are just diving.

@vooswing 2 роки тому
Second rule: If it’s Wilson or Marchand it’s probably dirty. 😉 I’ve watched hockey for 30 years and boarding is very subjective because it’s basically a check BUT the player is in a dangerous position when they are hit. Usually they are a few feet away from the boards where there’s a high likelihood they’ll hit the boards in a dangerous way, a blindside hit where the player can’t defend themselves, or a hit in the back. Whether it’s called or not is anyone’s guess though, I’ve seen horribly dangerous hits that weren’t called and what I thought were clean hits that resulted in penalties. 🤷🏼♂️

We want to rent a car and head to the desert for a hike when we head there in December (fingers crossed that we get to go) after we had some desert time a few years back, but it was too hot to really enjoy it.

I live 5 minutes from Hammers and I can vouch for this. NFL Sundays aren't too shabby, either. Damn, now I'm craving those teriyaki wings. BTW, if you see this, Shannon...there's open desert just 5 minutes away from Hammers. There's walking trails at the foot of Black Mountain and other desert trails that lead to a large dry lake bed.

As a fan who jumped into hockey on the day of the expansion draft for Vegas as a Vegas fan, I’m glad you made this. I’ve kinda followed hockey a little bit before Vegas, but not really. Even though I’ve been watching for a few years now it’s still interesting. Also, I’ve got a friend joining the hockey world he’s hopping in with Seattle, I’ll make sure to send this his way!

My morning coffee and THG video! Who else here has stayed awake eyes barely open to watch Shannons final review of a game in the past. I emailed you in the past Shannon and when you do come to Vegas let me know. Id be glad to take you around to see all the non strip sights that makes us love Nevada. Thanks for the video and GO KNIGHTS GO!!!

I'm pretty new to hockey compared to a lot of people subscribed to this channel (I Started following the NHL in the last season, And fell in love with the sport) Just before corona hit 🙄. I haven't really had any bad experience interacting with other hockey fans, It's usually pretty friendly, even when I was learning (And still learning) Channels like yours are so good and informative!

I am new fan of hockey and your channel as well....nice job👍

But see I'm new to this, if someone could just explain; Then the look. So true THG. I remember being somewhere around 7 to 10 when I started watching hockey. My brother and I learned from ESPN and Sega Genesis NHL, but with a doubt, I've given a look like that and I've been given a look like that. Right on with your take on the biz. Thanks

I’ve been an extremely casual Devils fan for about 10 years now, I’m trying to get more into the NHL, it’s history and the Xs and Os of the sport. Excited about the upcoming season for my team and thank you for the video

I'm a new hockey fan from Cleveland, OH and it can be hard to watch games here. Few people in northeast Ohio care for the Jackets so I've never really had a connection to them. I like the Leafs, but I chose the Kraken as my favorite team so that I can enter the league along with them. I've been deeply invested in learning about hockey recently, but it's trickier than other sports to follow due to lower exposure. Regardless, I'm excited and thankful that so many fans are helping out beginners like me

Certain dynamics operate exactly the same in fútbol (soccer). I’m a crazy hockey fan but also I follow fútbol in my country. The thing that made easy for me to understand hockey (a thousand years ago hehehe) was that I could relate to the dynamics of GM-coach-refs-goalie. I went to the stadium every weekend with my dad and he complain first about the GM, then coach, then ref, then goalie and the ultimate guinea pig was the top scorer that had not score in a while. I love your channel!! This videos make me happy and are so informative. Hugs from Chile 🇨🇱

I really dig the vintage Tacoma Sabercats sweater man. I remember going games as a kid and seeing my favorite at the time Dampy Brar!!

Oh my, an IHL (remember the IHL?) Sabercats jersey! I still have some old Sabercats merchandise from when they existed.

I take friends to Major Junior games. They are encouraged to ask questions and I politely inform them of the rules and such. They love the experience.

I feel like this video is fantastically educational for new fans trying to approach the game, all while being very entertaining for long-time hockey fans. We sure are an odd folk.

That Sabercats jersey sparks some nostalgia. They used to give us free tickets to Sabercats games in elementary school. I just used them as bookmarks. Should’ve went to a game but I didn’t grow up in a hockey environment

Games last night are ones that I think hurt attracting new fans. Those people that say, "I don't watch hockey. All they ever do is fight." Yet those first three goals by Colorado you saw great passes, great goals, but the fighting later on is what got the most attention.
