My favourite hockey channel period. And it’s not even close. The writing, editing, and visuals are one thing. But the unique perspectives are another. I love actually coming away with something new instead of wasting time listening to someone pointlessly stretch out obvious things all dramatically. So happy I found your channel.
Thank you! I appreciate it. Totally agree on the time wasting/clickbait channels. I also can't stand drama where there is none, or rehashed filler.. That, and I've seen so much "When the obvious thing is obvious", "the NHL has a problem that's not a problem", "this is INSANE for the NHL".. That I don't even contemplate clicking most hockey videos anymore. I tune in for some of THG's opinion pieces, and that's about it for me on hockey youtube these days.
@@District5-YT If you haven't already, you should checkout Hockey Psychology. His titles are a bit clickbaity but you know you are in for quality content with those videos.
Yes I am including “hockey psychology”. When that channel isn’t plagiarizing Jack Han’s hockey tactics without shame. It’s desperate, clickbaiting, basic stuff that adds nothing to old news. I assume most of the audience is new fans or children.
I think the main reason the Injury Reserve loophole doesn't get exploited more is because not many NHL players are willing to be the guy to sit out, or "get injured". For better or worse hockey players tend to be a bit 'intense' and often play through injuries instead of sitting out even when they absolutely should simply because that's what hockey players do. So even bringing up the idea that they should sit out on purpose to exploit a loophole would certainly go poorly in most cases... Most cases.
Great video. Appreciate the consistency and creativity of your channel. Really awesome that you put this amount of effort into covering the Ducks of all teams. Hope you're having a good day boss. Always looking forward to a new District 5 video in my feed.
4:50 Actually that happened in Rugby Union It's dubbed Bloodgate and the English rugby team Harlequins did it to get tactical substitutions in the form of Blood replacements. This happens when a player gets a cut that draws blood profusely or deep enough that warrants medical attention. The team are allowed a special substitution method called a blood replacement in which the player is withdrawn from the game and able to get the wound fixed. The team is then allowed to bring them back on at any time if they received treatment that stopped the bleeding. Harlequins abused this by having their players fake blood injuries to use it as tactical subs. Famously it was outed when one player Tom Williams faked an injury and was caught on camera consuming a blood capsule and winking as he was subbed off.
Wow, never heard of that! The investigation that followed must have been fascinating. "4 previous occasions" as well. That was quite the list of resignations and suspensions. Deserves some sort of documentary (if there isn't already one?) .. Thanks for mentioning this!
I would like to know whether there are more goals in 6v5 than in 5v4 Of course calculated on the same timeframe since 5v4 minutes sure are plenty Delaying the penalty I also sometimes don't really see as handy
I actually knew about the last fact because of playing NHL 24. It's just hard to do since you typically can't actually aim the puck to go over the glass and the best you can do is shoot at the goalie and hope for a lucky deflection.
@District5-YT I mainly play franchise mode and be a pro, but BAP hasn't changed in like five years and there's a lot of mistakes everywhere. I don't bother with HUT since it's so microtransaction heavy.
I really dislike Tampa Bay and Vegas for this cap maneuvering! The Hawks are also a team I remember doing this quite often. This and the tax benefits states like Nevada and Florida receive over Canadian high tax markets.
Goalies who flip their helmet off to get a whistle after one of the back buckles comes loose. The helmet will still protect your head pretty well. I'd argue it's more dangerous for them to flip the helmet off mid play than to play with an 80% effective helmet for another minute or so.
The mask absolutely does not protect very well without both buckles on. It becomes loose enough that any shot to the face will smash the cage into your mouth or other vulnerable area on your head
The blood thing is so absurd even disregarding the possibility of biting your lip or blood capsules. Why should a hit to the lip warrant a full two minutes more than one to the cheek or forehead? Some people just bleed more easily than others, why should they draw more penalties?

yeah cause most teams and player actually have integrity

Thank you! Appreciate the support. Hope you're having a good one as well!
This guy should have way more than 10k subs
Totally agree :’(
i’ve always wondered if teams would ever try to have purposely chapped lips to get those double minor penalties
Excellent Video
10k subs any minute now! Congratulations on the big milestone!
Congratulations D5! We❤u!
Thank you!! 🙏
@@NancyBeckas Thank you!! 😊

Perfect thumbnail
jombroton shot great idea!
Excellent video, never knew about the offensive zone faceoff thing!
So I just subbed and I refreshed and it went from 9.99k to 10k.
I have never been so honoured.
But seriously man, good job!
Thank you for the support and the kind words! 🙏 Really appreciate it!
Glad I’m one of the few that found this channel. Such a breath of fresh air. Haven’t heard things put so cleanly since Don Cherry.
in rugby blood capsules have been used to get additional substitutions at least a couple times
I would like to know whether there are more goals in 6v5 than in 5v4
Of course calculated on the same timeframe since 5v4 minutes sure are plenty
Delaying the penalty I also sometimes don't really see as handy
Liked and hit the bell for some great takes, examples and shitting on reddit
vegas probably watched this 4918074230946150981 times 😭😭😭
Sending your channel to everyone ik to get you to 10K
My gosh. Same. 🤡
Thank you for the support!!

Nice! How are the NHL games these days in general? I haven't played any since NHL 15.

3:27 I’m pretty sure a high stick that caused a broken cheek bone would get a little bit more than 4 minutes.
You'd be wrong. That wasn't even 2 minutes. There was no call.
Goalies who flip their helmet off to get a whistle after one of the back buckles comes loose. The helmet will still protect your head pretty well. I'd argue it's more dangerous for them to flip the helmet off mid play than to play with an 80% effective helmet for another minute or so.
this has been happening more often lately as well.
a little flick of the neck, and poops, helmets gone

#1 Loophole. Pay a half billion for a cup, and the commissioners everlasting servitude.🤨🤬

5:57 thats the least arrogant and most helpful reddit comment ever posted
If yall dont know by now assume everything ever posted on reddit is a lie
What are you even saying 🥱
If you're not exploiting rules and "cheating" a little bit, you dont really wanna win
