Does tanking work in the NHL?

"Tanking", or deliberately weakening your roster so you can lose games, and receive draft picks for it... Does it make sense? Is it a good strategy? Is there any way to stop teams from doing it? That and more in this edition of District 5. #hockey #nhl

In January 2024, The Anaheim Ducks traded Jamie Drysdale (along with a 2nd round pick) to the Philadelphia Flyers for prospect Cutter Gauthier. A trade that came with controversy, as Gauthier informed the Flyers, that he would not play for them... Unpacking the trade, and letting off some steam at the expense of garbage Hockey media, in this edition of District 5. #nhl #hockey #anaheimducks

I see where you're coming from but as smaller players became more effective (I say this as one) the only way to prevent some of absolutely massive hits is by dumping your shoulder or if you're short, the back or butt into the opposing checker. I think you're floating a thin line before you start removing most hitting for the game. If players aren't at least attempting do defend a hit they're gonna get hurt. If you're a checker plannin on throwing your forearms/shoulder thru the other person's chest or head, and they throw the ass in your way, that's the checkers problem, not the individual receiving the hit. Be a better defender.
its the placebo effect. if you think the colour makes you better then you will probably play better.
The whole " white pads are better" is a dangerous perception as it subconsciously perpetuates white supremacist narratives and will dissuade even more African Americans from participating in the already probamatic issue of a sport being " dominated " by cis white males. I think they should be banned, not only to increase scoring but to alleviate the issue laid out above. This will help guide the NHL in thier goal to make " hockey for everyone ", no pun intended 😉
Today’s reverse hit to me looks like interference. The person getting hit has not played the puck and no guarantee that the puck chaser is going to hit the puck carrier. A player stopping dead to throw a hit to an unsuspecting player has to be interference. Just how I see it.
baseball is "out" due to the fact they have to speed up play by having a clock to make pitchers pitch the ball.
It’s really weird I’m mostly dominant righty, only shoot lefty in hockey and 3’s in basketball can’t lay up lefty but I can shoot righty and play hockey righty.
I think a forechecker coming in on a puck carrier should assume that they will get bumped....because anyone with a puck is fair game to be hit. Why shouldn't the puck carrier have the same privilege.
My dude, you are severely underrated. Keep going man, your stuff is great
Anybody time Yvan Cournoyer?
this why you be gordie and use the straight blade and shoot both ways. fucking insane if someone in today's age could pull it off ... they would sell 10 million in straight blades if they did 😂
Yeah cause the bottom teams will be working really hard to... Draft a player to replace them and jeopardize their employment. I think the pwhl or a distribution based on the last 2-3 seasons is much more feasible lol
The best color for a goalie is the color the feel the most confident in
im sorry there is no fucking way that any soccer player reached 40km/h in a game
Right handed, shoot right. One thing not mentioned is the additional strength you have for engaging opponents sticks or bodies with your dominant hand low. This of course has become much less effective as rules have changed, but when I played, that was good defence. Because so many right handed Canadians shoot left, Canada has the highest percentage of left handed golfers by far. I've read 30%, (seems high to me) while the average is about 7%.
The speed skater in the shelter is being helped by the draft created by the wind shelter. It's like driving behind a semi-trailer van in a car. It is not a true indication of actual human created speed but rather by using physics.
You didn't even show the best reverse hit ever Malkin on Ovi when Malkin was coming around the net and sent Ovi into the boards
Speed skating
There is no question. Soccer is slow. really slow and hockey is really really fast. I play both and there is no question.
Then why do the majority of these right-handed and left hand shots play golf rate handed
What about golie first picks. Fleury was a 2003 first overall.
white pads are ugly. bring back the colour
Hockey has the fastest average speed of any sport because they're always moving fast.
The reason why reverse hits aren’t interference is because, usually, the player receiving the hit is the one skating into the puck carrier’s ice.
Your goalie #'s are flawed because you can learn how to shoot left. Curtis Joseph is a right handed shot. Your defense talk isn't right either. Have you heard of Bobby Orr? Brian Leetch? Paul Coffey? The Hughes brothers? Most players can skate without doing up their laces. SMH
I’d say it’s either hockey or lacrosse for fastest sport, in terms of overall pace of the game, not how fast the players move
...
hockey players have to dress in armour and carry a tree/stick with them; as you pointed out, they can be sent to the next world with a hit }}} where as U Bolt just has to show up, in his underwear and track shoes!! What wd. happen if we had full body contact 100 yard dashes...? hmmm a bit slower, maybe ?
Never gonna hate on the puck carrier hitting a guy on a guy trying to hit him.
It's also that the average speed of hockey is much higher. Since players are only skating in 30-60 second increments, they're basically sprinting the whole time. And when everyone's sprinting, it looks normal
Check our the Irish game of Hurling. Fastest game on grass.
I’m old enough to remember no ads on the boards or ice, forget about uniforms. Just like in MLB. No ads on the outfield fence. Sports leagues are now whores. Bettman is a garbage commissioner. Anything for another shekel. Ah, the good old days. Gone forever. As Archie Bunker once said to George Jefferson, “Here’s to yesterday.”
When I played the reverse hit guys used to piss me off. I wonder if there’s a connection to the way boarding is called.
I was at that Canucks game with the charging call. “Did he leave his feet?” Was my first thought. I still booed but that’s definitely a penalty. It has to follow the same rules.
Kool!
I was thinking that wing suite flying might be the fastest.
A lot of these examples seem okay to me as long as the puck carrier has clear possession. The ones where they stop before taking possession of the puck and hit the other person chasing, should be penalized as interference. The key difference is that the defender can learn to properly brace if they're skating at a puck carrier with clear possession. The ones done where the offensive player is facing away from the incoming defender create a situation where the defender can't legally check the defender (without risking checking from behind) and the offender is more likely to jump up (by nature of trying to check with your back).
What also needs to be considered is highest average speed. Not only do hockey players reach very high top speeds but the speed is much easier maintained than running sports, since running requires continuous effort to stay moving. With hockey, each player can reach a high speed and stay there with little effort, making the pace of player, on average, significantly faster over the course of a game
It's called boxing the other player out. Give your balls a tug and go bowling if you want to bitch about it. If you don't defend yourself as a defender, you're going to get plastered onto the boards.
Tbh, not accounting for repeat winners seems like a pretty big issue in the analysis to me.
Pleasantly surprised by the remarkably good content. Shocked this has received so few views and likes so far but you have earned a 'like' from me. Keep up the good work!
First, there is no such thing as tanking. Playing young players when your team is bad is smart, shedding salary is good when you’re bad. None of what you said stops teams from being bad. You’re blaming bad ownership for trading highly drafted players and saying drafting players doesn’t work. That makes no sense. The truth is the only way to stop tanking is to simply stop giving out guaranteed contracts. Allow teams to get off bad deals. Maximize player movement. The nfl is the model. Create a league where because of player movement teams can rebuild a losing roster in one offseason. A league where first to worst becomes common place. The nhl and nba have been foolish not to do this years ago. It’s quite clear that’s one of the number one things that allowed the nfl to become so popular.
The story is that Vasi only catches left despite being left-handed because when he started playing goalie, they didn't have right-handed gloves
I love that you brought up Bandy, did not expect it. Was thinking "yah right, but Bandy is faster" in the beginning of the video. There are many factors why tho, hockey players are very explosive and can accelerate faster, but since the skates used in bandy has a longer skate rail (sort of a mix between hockey and speed skating skates) with a flat grind (compared to the U-shape in on hockey skates) and the larger field (which can be used to build up more speed), it makes sense that Bandy is faster than Hockey.
Best wrist shot in my hockey watch life (since 1969) was Mark Howe. Smooth, hard and very accurate.
The mofo is looking at a sport where men use their feet to kick a ball, and he can’t call it football.
Tanking plugs… 😆
Not going to pretend I have a good answer about this, but I do feel like there are too many head shots, and as you mentioned charging, generally with reverse hits.
hockey is without a doubt the most skilled sport on earth, put a hockey player in a soccer or basketball game and they’d be able to somewhat keep up, vice versa and the soccer player or bball player would like bambi
This is so cool! 👽😈😈who does it better??
I think Vegas' strategy of win at all cost fuck loyalty is the best overall.
