As a hockey player, I greatly appreciate the shout out for our AMAZING sport! Love you guys!!
The NHL really hurt themselves by dipping their toes into the rainbow lane recently though. Be nice when sports can just focus on sports again
@@spen1433real
@@spen1433 nhl was the last of the leagues to do that tho 🤣
@@spen1433you people are so unbelievably pathetic
@@coastingalong idk NASCAR might still be holding out, I don’t watch it so I wouldn’t know😂
Pat showing hockey the respect it deserves, unlike every other major sports show.
Your sport gets out viewed by re runs of old football games
Most people are stupid, it makes sense that the sport with the highest IQ requirement would be the least viewed. @@Scheboygan8767
@@Scheboygan8767you just dont get it. Go watch the espn top 10. Lots of travels and dunks. And divas. Lil soyboy - we dont want you
@@Scheboygan8767is the equivalent of saying “band X is better then band Y because they’re more popular.” 🙄
Very poor argument.
@@Scheboygan8767you need something to be popular for you to justify your enjoyment? Says more about you.
Hockey is so underrated, its constant action like basketball but hard hitting and intense like football.
EXACTLY!!! Best of both worlds!!
and hockey players are the toughest in all of sports by far.
Also each goal means a lot to the outcome of the game unlike how common baskets are, but aren’t so rare that games commonly end 0-0 like soccer
Rugby players have entered the chat...@@SgtMjr
What action is there in basketball? All they do is shoot boring 3 pointers and on the very rare occasion they aren’t shooting 3’s they are flopping worse than soccer players. The nba has become as unwatchable as the wnba.
Hockey is by far my #1 sport, but as great as it is to watch on TV, nothing compares to watching a live game. The speed and size of NHLers live is stunning.
And boy, oh boy, does the environment get intense. The roof over every arena just amplifies the sound. There's nothing quite like it in my opinion
Yup, I was surprised when I went to my first hockey game… I actually got to see 2 of my top 5
favourite players. Jumbo Joe and Brandon Montour. And it was insane to see how massive these guys were while still being strong skaters with skills to keep up with the pace of play.
Imo hockey the worst sport to go to live, I grew up a hockey player and went to many more hockey games than any other sport but football and basketball most entertaining to be at a live game for me atleast
Preds games are awesome on tv, but live? You better hold onto your butts! Preds games are so fun live, with the hockey, the music, the atmosphere, the crowd, Broadway… Al of it!
Please keep this as a regular segment. Hockey is awesome and its truly the best sport
i second this
I segon this.
Nah
@@deadboyzX8 I Seguin this.
Nah slow down bruv, best sport? Can say that
There's truly nothing like the first round of the NHL playoffs, best two weeks of the year for sports imo.
Yeah, NHL Playoffs> any other sport playoffs.
The only thing I can compare it with is the first weekend of March Madness.
@@charlielinder1107true, thats the only thing that compares.
March madness=best tournament in sports
NHL Playoffs=Best playoffs in sports
@@panik28yes, hockey playoffs with people screaming for teams that will score 2-3 times in a 60 minute period is so exciting. Like soccer and baseball, hockey is slow and boring, you watch dudes pass a puck to lose it within 5 seconds everytime 😂 if there’s a 2-3 goal lead 80-90% of the time the game is over. Its just not an exciting sport if you don’t or didn’t play growing up. I played college baseball and I’ll even admit watching baseball is dreadful cause the low scoring most of the time
@@Scheboygan8767Wow I havnt heard this take since i left high school 15 years ago...
I became an instant hockey fan when I moved to Tampa and went to a Lightning game for the first time. I remember watching the game and thought "these dudes are football players with knives on their feet". The sights and sounds of the game are addicting, the camaraderie of the fans solid and entertainment is first class. Keep this seg please!
I love the “ these dudes are football players with knives on their feet".
I LOVE how Pat is someone who tries to uplift things or someone rather than trash it/him/her. Very positive and love that you're promoting the game of hockey. It's incredibly exciting to watch, so I feel like it needs as much exposure as possible.
Finally some hockey coverage on ESPN thank you Pat
for real
THANK YEW PAT
They are paying him to talk about it.
@@davidkruse4030 he was talking about it well before espn
@@YooperHatesOhioStateohh yeah. He’s had a bunch of players on
As a Canadian and a hockey enthusiast, I really appreciate this segment.
As a Canadian he didnt mention one Canadian team or the two best players in the league. He could care less what you think.
@@Thisisbailie And I could care less what a Leaf fan thinks...
@@epants8507 wow. What a loser comment. You must cheer for a really sad franchise that gets zero attention
@@epants8507😂😂😂😂, fuckin leafs fans are just the worst man
@@Thisisbailiewhile not false. First three of the five players he mentions are Canadian. Other people have done worse for Canadian hockey than this segment.
Leafs fans geeze....
As a Canadian and a lifelong hockey fan and player, kudos to Pat for finally giving hockey the respect it deserves in the American media.
The more the game grows, the happier I get. As a Canadian and life long Oilers fan, if your gonna get into hockey, now is the time. There is so much young talent entering into the league this year in bedard, fantelli, Cooley, Luke hughes, and so many talented guys in the league. Also Connor mcdavid is a player you need to watch at least once, he is coming off a 153 point season last year which is almost unbelievable. For reference, in 2014-15 the highest scoring player had 87 points…
So much talent, more scoring, fast pace play, hard hitting, big fights, beautiful dangles/ dekes. Hockey has it all❤️
This segment didnt mention one Canadian team. Amurrrrica
@@Thisisbailieto be fair, the states is where the game has more a chance to grow, and expansions like Vegas have proven that. I'm Canadian myself and get a bit gate keepy with the sport but if it's gonna continue to get Eyes on, it needs Americans attention.
@@nello1591 to mention hockey and not mention McDavid or Matthews is just dumb. Matthews is the best American player as well. It's just dumb
@@nello1591 Agreed. I would like to see Bettman ousted and have someone who truly loves the game and knows its history take the game to the next level.
@@ThisisbailieAuston is not the best American player…silly leafs fan…Jack Hughes #1
I didn't start watching hockey until they came to Vegas, man I was missing out, nonstop action, classic, humble guys out there giving it their all every game
Non stop action ? Where😂 they don’t hit nearly as much as they say they do. They don’t score a lot, the most action you see is passing the puck back and forth between teams losing it and line changes 😂
@@Scheboygan8767your vision must be blocked by your 'we love china' sign.
@Scheboygan8767 what have you been watching? Timbits hockey? Buddy open your eyes and watch a couple games and you'll see hits, fights, pucks to the face, and beautiful goals. Shitting on a sport isn't a good look, there's value in enjoying more than just one or two things.
Don't forget about the powerplays! Top notch excitement
or when the VERY rare(but always awesome) full line brawls break out. Peak.
I get harassed for being black & LOVING hockey. The sport is F’in awesome! 🐧
I LOVE that you love hockey! I grew up playing hockey in Buffalo, New York. The sport is huge in Buffalo but I wish the NHL marketed the sport better to grow the game in other markets
Black Ice boys! Let’s go!
@@BrandonAiyukSZN Evander Kane, Darnell Nurse, Anthony Duclair are black players
@BrandonAiyukSZN there are a bunch hust not made public. SUBBAN former cup winner was black he just retired I think last year
I with you bro. Go rangers
I've been a St. Louis Blues fan for a long time. There is nothing like seeing a game in person. You don't realize how fast the game is until you see it live. The atmosphere at a hockey game is a lot of fun.
My love and appreciation for Mcafee has already went up. Thanks for doing this man.
Hockey is a super exciting sport. Can’t wait for the season to start for the Wild tonight!
I stopped watching the NBA two years ago and started focusing on hockey.
Best decision I've made
GO WILD
SKOL WILD!!
I think it's the funnest to play as well
@@rossrobertson674playing hockey is so fun. Even ball hockey on the street
Hockey is an awesome sport. My first ever live game was in 2011. Game 6. Eastern Conference Finals. Bruins @ Lightning. The moment Teddy Purcell hit a goal off a face-off win from Vinny Lecavalier hockey became a sport I would become a fan of, forever.
your a fan of hockey and say "hit a goal"...you mean scored a goal duh
Great to see you guys promoting Hockey. It really is an entertaining sport (Especially live). It is also family friendly and the tickets are normally affordable. I brought my 3 year old son last year to a Devils game and if you get there early you can go right down to the lower section and watch the guys warm up. The players throw pucks over the glass to fans and one player saw my son and pounded the glass and waived.
More of this. Hockey is such a sick sport and arguably has the best playoff action out of all the major sports.
Hockey in person is always a goodtime. The skates on the ice, the sticks clashing and getting the sh*t scared out of ya when a 200+ pound guy gets checked on the glass directly in front of you ... at full speed😂😂😂😂😂
Please keep this as a weekly segment.
Has to be!!!!!
Hockey lover here. Loved this. Thanks for giving hockey the respect it deserves. Please do more hockey talk!
nothing like the NHL Playoffs. FLA's runs last year was magical. Always a great story, VGK getting their first. Its segments like this that will keep driving up the audience, keep hockey growing!
Never thought I’d become a fan of a florida hockey team, as a Minnesotan, but watching Chucky and the kitties do that last year was incredible.
As a hockey player we appreciate videos like this for people to recognize how great our sport actually is. Keep up the good work boys!
Would appreciate the boys giving some breakdown episodes of the basics of hockey
Facts. I'm clueless but it's like I just have to much to keep up with as is but some patmacedumaction would help
Honestly man, a lot of it comes easy. Pick a team, maybe a local one, maybe one with a rivalry against a city you hate. Whatever reason, pick a team, watch, and the learning will come without trying
Keep your fuckin head up!!
pucks in deep. keep ur head up. wheel snipe celly. keep it simple. one shift at a time. play a full 60. good things happen when you go to the net. forecheck backcheck paycheck.
Jesus please no. For everyones sake. These guys are as casual as sweatpants.
Thank you guys… from Canada. We need to see more of you guys respecting our game, giving it proper loving on ESPN. Perfect timing with Bedard, to jump into a new era. Been waiting ages for Stephen A to give an ounce… Mac… we’ll take you any day!!!
Theres nothing like the energy of a live hockey game, its incredible stuff
I been a sharks fan on and off my whole life, I just got back into a few years ago took the wife to her first game, surprised her and she was not happy about it at first, half way through the game she is enjoying it, and loving it, this year we did a flex 10 game plan, next year season tickets, and went to a pre season game against LA and there was a fight, and she enjoyed it, glad she enjoys hockey now
I gotta say, I am a bit jealous most teams in the league have the plans to see games and just fair prices... meanwhile being a leafs fan costed me 1200$ to bring my dad to see mcdavid last year LOL
The 4th game I ever went to as a kid was vs San Jose in their 1st season in Winnipeg, I think Tampa Bay got their team that year too or Ottawa, I always thought the Sharks were a cool team, love that original logo
@@cndnclassics5874yeah that sucks, prices are insane for a leafs game, Toronto should have a 2nd team like new york, I have season tickets for the Jets, front row upper deck on the face off dot in the defensive zone, they average around $90 a ticket this year, without season ticket discount my seat would be $140-$150 for a leafs or oilers single game, probably under $100 for Phoenix or Columbus, they have 3 different price ranges depending on who the visiting team is, sucks that leafs games are so expensive, I bet a beer there is $20 at least
Thanks for captain America! Stars appreciate him!
That’s awesome! Good luck this year!
-A Leafs fan
Grew up a Red Wings fan, and going to die one. Pat... You could honestly have an entire second channel for reaction video's to hockey with the boys, and it'd probably do just as well as the show itself
Same here LGRW
LGRW!!!!!
LGRW
Let me guess, you grew up in the 90s 😂, i hated them and colorado cuz they knocked vancouver out in the 1st round 1 seed vs 8 seed, I would always say well at least the team that knocked out my team won the cup 😂
This is one of the funniest comments I’ve seen. Hockey community really thinks they have fans😂 least watched sport in the whole world. I seriously had no idea it was opening day or hockey was even starting soon nobody cares to cover it. Hockey is just a weird sport, they wear 50 pounds of protective gear on their body but won’t wear face shields and call themselves tough, that’s pretty funny to me. NHL has the lowest viewership and lowest salary per player. I heavily doubt a second channel outperforms a channel with 2 million subs getting hundreds of thousands of views
In the clip Pat highlights you can even tell that for a split second Beecher realizes what he's done and even starts looking around for who is going to make him answer for it. There is a code on the ice, without it the game can get out of control pretty quickly. It is one of the things that I love about hockey: that the players can police the game and hold each other accountable. That being said, the game has changed a lot over the last 40 years I've been watching. I would say that fighting has definitely toned down a lot in that period as well. Now is an exciting time to start watching. We have potentially 3 generational talents: Crosby, McDavid, and Bedard all sharing the ice at the same time. It is hard to appreciate the skill, athleticism, and toughness it takes to play the game especially at the highest level. What an exciting time to be a fan.
As a Wrestling and Hockey Fan, I want to say:
THANK YOU FOR POINTING THIS OUT!!!
You grow on me, everytime I see you and listen to what you have to say!!!
Keep it up Pat!!!
Greetz from Germany
Pat! I know you have options, should you choose to do so, but the Vegas Veterans would LOVE to have you guys out to Vegas to learn the game and play with us! We’re a disabled veteran team that competes against other disabled veteran teams and you boys are GUARANTEED to have a great time! We all get together a couple times a month for some private ice time with all veterans so we could help you guys get fit for gear and then drop in with us for some fun!!
You’d also be doing a great service for vets! A lot of veterans don’t know these teams exist and that they can meet up with all these other vets that love hockey, I’ve helped a few vets find teams that have seen my videos. So a mention of the Warrior program by you would be massive to grow the veteran hockey community!!
Got into hockey recently(last year), the games are fun and entertaining
In person or on TV? For me it’s tough to follow on TV
@@TP-pq9xx it will be even tougher to follow in person, they zoooooom. been playing and watching hockey my whole life. you will never see anything more entertaining than a live hockey game.
Definitely the biggest barrier to entry for new fans. People that grew up playing/watching dont realize how confusing it is and hard to follow. The best advice I can give is to follow the players and not the puck. After awhile you'll start to see the puck more but generally just follow where the players are all looking@@TP-pq9xx
@@TP-pq9xxIf you have an ad blocker there are many options. 🏴☠️🌊
Which team have you chosen and why is it the Capitals? XD
Me and my dad used to watch the Blackhawks every season when I was like 8-13 years old, 21 now and watched my first game again the other night and have to say it felt good watching again.
I went to my first NHL game earlier this March at MSG for the Rangers and I fell in LOVE watching it. So I’m excited that this is my first full season of watching the NHL
Are you a new Rangers fan? If you are, welcome aboard this fantastic roller coaster ride!
As someone from Buffalo, hockey is practically a religion for us. Hockey is by far my favorite sport. So hearing you guys putting the sport over is amazing.
keep shining the light on hockey Pat! more fans the better!
Hockey is one of the most insane sports. Fighting, worth ethic(the one you talked about, and the barron skate to the face), the crowds are insane(coming from a jets fan), and it just so skillful and incredible to watch.
As A former Hockey Player it feels great that we are getting noticed and show the world that the NHL or any other hockey league is fun to watch with family and friends
It’s getting more notice because it’s finally back on ESPN.
Pat getting aggressively more yinzer as he's hyping up anything is always a blessing. Love ya Pat!
ESPN needs to get Pat on a game broadcast. As a life long hockey player and fan, I appreciate the excitement he brings when he talks about hockey. Get him and PK Subban on a live broadcast ESPN, DO IT!!!
I love you man. We need more people pumping hockey up. Hockey is a great sport. I think the biggest problem with hockey and it's small fan base is that hockey is too fast for most people. People are used to a play, then a break, then a play, then a break... Hockey is FAST AND TOUGH, what a great sport.
so glad you touched on laffy’s fight. as a kings fan, kid single handedly not only got me back into the game but has me excited for him as a player and the season! It really is an understatement to say that a good fight can change a game for absolutely everybody. Wish the best for that kid.
I never gave hockey much of a thought until I started playing beer league at 40 years old. After realizing how difficult it is, you gain an all new appreciation for the pros and how masterful they are.
I love this hockey coverage!! Football is my #1 sport but i gotta watch the NHL playoffs. So amazing. I played hockey from 2011 to 2019 and i loved it so much im so glad hockey is being brought to light more and more in the US. Thanks guys!
This is what we hoped for from hockey on espn!!! Keep this as a regular segment let’s goooo
As a kid I had two groups of friends. Hometown friends and hockey friends. During the hockey season there were lots of parties, cookouts and outdoor rink parties. It was awesome. We really became like family. My first fight was when I was 12.
Hockey's back! Let’s go!
Best playoffs in sports!
Love seeing some love being shown for hockey. My favorite sport by far and easily the most exciting playoffs
Huge hockey fan here. Much respect to you guys for doing this. Thank you.
Love the hockey segments! Keep them going!
i have loved hockey my whole life. its great getting to see all of the love for hockey
This was amazing. You're incredible for doing this for the game, most people dismiss it as a game with too much chaos.
Hell yeah!! Always enjoy PMS showing love to the great sport of hockey. Keep the seg!
Great SEG! Even though this show is primarily about the NFL, I love you guys using your platform to pump up other sports, especially hockey because like you said, the NHL is AWESOME
Pat giving hockey and lacrosse their flowers as of late is so awesome to see!
Love it guys! Much respect for lifting up the greatest sport in the world from across the pond in Scotland. 💪🏼
Hope to see you guys cover some more hockey as the season goes on
I equally appreciate pat trying to get the masses into hockey. Let's go!!
As someone who played for 17 years up through college.. it's great to hear more people getting into it and lovin it. Greatest sport.
hahaha I hated even clicking on this, but that was incredible, and got me fired up! Great stuff! love the energy, great seg
I truly believe Pat loves hockey, but you’re not gonna convince me that ESPN didn’t ask him to have a segment on hockey on a regular basis…
Whatever it takes to grow the sport.
pat tweets about hockey all the time. ESPN might of talked about working in the segment but he has talked bout hockey on here a lot still
ESPN has always done a horrible job @ promoting hockey. Prior to this segment, he talked about how nobody @ the espn offices seem to care about Hockey and how he wants to change the culture. Also talked about how he can finally have access to NHL highlights (now that he’s with ESPN). He’s definitely doing it for his own love of the game, I don’t think he’s a die hard, but shows great appreciation for the sport 🤙🏼
One of the best sports if not THE BEST in the world. So glad they’ll have this segment! The talent at the NHL level is getting unreal.
Even if they did, it’s a refreshing change from “nobody cares about hockey in America” and “the only thing I know about hockey is the puck is black.”
He literally explained why they didn't and why they can now. Access. Not complicated and nobody cares if ham slice is convinced. It's not bacon bro
It would be awesome to have a daily or weekly segment of hockey talk since That's Hockey Talk is on hiatus! Let Nick and Gump break down some of biggest moments/games, then try to get Rupper in when you can so he can interact with the boys again. As a massive hockey fan (let's go pens!), this is a much appreciated segment!
I'm a hockey fan already and this seg got me so hyped I got goosebumps.
Thank you PMS for highlighting an amazing sport. Hope to see more of it!
Hockey's biggest strength is that it is truly a global sport. players from all over chasing a small black puck around a frozen pond. Truly the best sport on the planet and it needs more coverage from people like pat and the crew. Thank you for spotlighting this great sport.
I think hockey media (at least TV in America) has done a great job over the last 5+ years of really leaning into how funny/absurd some hockey personalities are. Super entertaining. I think over the next 10-15 years when most franchises will go through a winning cycle (maybe not a cup but really good teams consistently making the playoffs) more and more interest will happen and hockey will be much bigger
That family going nuts after the fight was one of my favorite clips ever!!! So cool
Thanks for the AMAZING shout out for our sport of Hockey! I play at 46 years old as a Goalie and my 10 year old son plays as a Goalie as well! Keep it going & help this sport grow
Hockey is like football in a way. it has a epic history filled with legends, characters and stories. Its fast, violent and entertaining. Hockey is geting softer yet at the same time it's becoming wiser and strategic... ty Pat for some hockey! And ,like me for football, keep learning, crosby ain't top 3
No, but he is top 4. Only players that are better are Gretzky, Lemieux, and Orr.
Hockey is the most dangerous game someone could play, and I love it!!!! Put some hockey players in the NFL, that'll make them boys men.
@cousinpatsey2471 You could argue Jagr and Howe as well. But at that point they're all pretty close. I think we missed out on the best Crosby when he was out for basically two years
As a huge Canes fan this season will be awesome. I was at the opening game at PNC and what an experience it truly was
That game was awesome! I loved the brawl Staal had with Tkachuck at the end. So sick
Thank you Pat. Everyone who has grown up loving hockey and has wished it’d get more respect all thank you as well
Preciate you doing this man absolutely love it
You want another great example of sticking up for your teammates? Show the xhekaj vs reaves fight from the habs/leafs game last night
Pat's single handedly gonna get more people into hockey with this Seg, than Gary Bettman will have in his whole tenure! What a guy!
surprised Gary hasn't threatened him with litigation yet to remove this clip
First clip I've ever watched of the Pat McAfee show... I'm an instant fan.
Great seg
Grew up a Lions fan in Atlanta (long story). Lived in Raleigh a few years for work. My place was near PNC Arena. Became a huge Hurricanes fan and never looked back. Just got tickets to the Canes Redwings game December 14th in Detroit....and Lions Broncos in Detroit on the 17th. A perfect long weekend! Love ut when things work out perfectly!
Ever since the move to ESPN, more video clips than not have had major issues towards the end
I'll tell you why you should watch hockey this season: McDavid and Draisaitl
I did.. last night 😂😂😂 and.... well...
@@thewizardofoz511chop it up to a bad game for the oil. Those guys are still the top 2 forwards in the league
More hockey coverage pat! This is awesome !!
What a great seg, we've needed this seg for a long time, I'm so glad you gave me that good seg
It’s a shame ESPN became the NFL & NBA channel. There was 3 mlb playoff games yesterday and ESPN posted maybe 1 video abt Bryce Harper. Yet there still regurgitating the same cowboy takes theyve been arguing for weeks.
Yeah I wish ESPN would go back to actually covering sports. Baseball and hockey are awesome
@@sportskid7124both are ten times better than basketball and soccer
@Yooper610 idk about baseball I find it too long and boring. But yes for hockey.
Appreciate the energy, Pat. That being said, I’m just gonna tune in come playoff time.
Thank you for this Pat! Keep it up! More Hockey!
Much appreciated for this brother
As a Canadian and hockey fann al my life we need more segs like this much appreciated hockey is truly amazing
What a great segment!!! Pat, you freaking rock!!!! Hockey (and football) are both great.
Was thinking about how I wanted a breakdown like this this morning. Glad to see it
This was an awesome seg!! Love the energy!! Hockey is awesome!!
I haven’t played hockey in years but I used to play for 15 years. Played from youth to juniors, the fights were amazing in juniors. Had a few bench brawls and I’m not a big guy but when a fight breaks out win or lose both teams get so fired up. Hitting rates go up and chirping goes out the roof!
I grew up in Tulsa, OK and we've had minor league hockey here since the 1930s. My mom took me to games here when I was in grade school. I was hooked even then.
This past season, I got to take my mom and sit with both my kids and their wives and my grandchildren, just to show my mom what she had created: 4 generations of hockey fans, and in Tulsa, Oklahoma of all places. We sat right behind the visitor's bench and my sons and I heckled those poor players relentlessly. It was awesome, it's one of my favorite family memories.
Love this Pat!
I concur! I started watching hockey about 5 years ago when I went to a game with my friend... Instantly fell in love. It's soooooo underrated. Hockey is in fact awesome.
So glad to see some hockey talk!
I can’t wait to see more Hockey coverage. Hell yeah, keep it going boys.
Amazing work, Pat. Way to show the NHL how to market itself!!
Thanks Pat, it's awesome what you're doing for hockey
Respect to Pat and the guys!
