11:27 Should probably point out for clarification that the Junior Canada hockey team is being investigated by police in the Canadian city of London, Ontario- Not London, England 😅
Contract extensions in the NHL only happen during the last year of the contract. So it’s an expiring contract that got an extension, which is essentially a new contract that starts as soon as his current contract expires.
I think you should check out the video mentioned in this one about the MacKinnon vs Kucherov race, "The Greatest NHL MVP Race We've Seen in Years," by the same channel. Cool look at the playstyle of the two guys at the top of the league this year, being basically polar opposite.
To answer your questions about player contracts, in the NHL there’s a “hard salary cap” system in place. This means that under no circumstances can an NHL organization exceed a certain amount of dollars spent on players (83.5 M for this season). Because of this hard cap, and the fact that it hasn’t increased in total amount since before COVID, teams often sign players to longer term contracts in order to keep the Annual Average Value (AAV) lower, allowing them to spend more money elsewhere on the roster. Hence a 8 year extension for a player like Doubis, despite him being an extremely streaky, but highly talented player. Love the content guys, keep up the good work!
Also - re: Sid retiring. I don't think he'll retire now that the league has announce that they'll be in the Olympics in 2026 and 2030. I think he'll keep playing for as long as they'll keep signing him to a contract. And apropos of him playing so well at his current age, you should try to find a good video on Mr. Hockey - Gordie Howe. Gordie played pro hockey from 1946 through to 1980 - he was 51 when he finally retired, having played on a line with both of his sons. And Jaromir Jagr is still playing pro hockey today, and his first season was 1990, and he still plays pro hockey in the Czech Republic today.
1992-93 Pittsburgh Penguins 17 Game Winning streak still stand as NHL Record but that Year Penguins were going for there 3rd Straight Stanley Cup but they got Upset By the New York Islanders in seven games in 1993 Patrick Division Final
Utah was hinting big time that they are ready immediately to accommodate a team, while The Arizona Coyotes new stadium deal has just once again fallen apart.... possible relocation?
You should do more reactions to player highlights. Cale Makar, Nathan MacKinnon, Nikita Kucherov, Auston Matthews, David Pastrnak are all fun players to react to.
Love you guys. It's really great to see you two staying committed to this. Such an incredible game, and I love to see good sports people fall in love with it. Well done.
The fact that you guys thought 68 million over 8 years was a lot was so funny to me as 68 million is more normal for like 2-3 year contract in most American sports I don't know hockey though
Crosby will play until at least 40 I would guess--has made no indications he will stop and has been voted by the players as the best all-around player in the NHL (i.e., the world) in each of the last 4 years and will be again, this year (he plays a great "200 ft. game" as a defensive forward, besides the obvious offensive talent, skating, passing, and face-off domination, etc.).
9:46 in Hockey "Contract extensions" are effectively brand new contracts, Dubois' new 8 year deal takes effect after this season. And right now his contract's looking like another Rick DiPietro fiasco.
Hey, Damo, I’m with you on the Oilers. I figured they’d turn it around, but not to quite the same degree. (Raised in Edmonton. Moved to the States 45 years ago $.
IIRC The 5 game suspension was the max given the constraints. To get more, it had to go higher. Also no way Sid is retiring lol. He's way too good and loves the game too much. I think the way to get him to retire is to kick him off the team. Which would never happen.
Sooo..when is the Auston Matthews reaction video coming? If there's a parade coming to Toronto any time soon, it will be to celebrate one player only. Go Leafs Go 😀 😢

Crosby will definitely keep playing a decent while longer. Still an elite player.

This right here. See also; Jonathan Huberdeau. That one might be even crazier because of the sheer drop off to date.

Du Bois' contract is a full 8 years after this one, and the total value is $68M US.
It was an idiotic contract.

One more thing on Crosby--he is in incredible condition--the body of a 28 year-old, so he can play alot more.
The fact that you guys thought 68 million over 8 years was a lot was so funny to me as 68 million is more normal for like 2-3 year contract in most American sports I don't know hockey though
Y’all have seen a lot of different sports in the past year. Baseball will begin a new season for everyone 👍

Good stuff, lads. Its been a great year for our boys. BOB is still between the pipes and playing great for my Panthers. This is our year. #GOCATS
I'm hard pressed to think of many NHL seasons that haven't been chaotic. I've been watching since the late 60's.
Love all 3 flags and reactions. Oilers have won 16 in a row before All-Star
This will definitely not be Crosby's last season. He'll keep playing for years. I would not be surprised to see him play into his 40s.

Kenny Beecham (Kenny For Real) does a pretty good weekly NBA video I think
Samsonov stopping a 2 on 0 was one for the ages.
Sammy is back baby!
The Penguins are so bad, that so far the only real projected Sell Out right now is their Sunday the 18th game where they will retire Jagr's number 68.
9:18 Nope, that’s a brand new contract extension that will run all the way until 2031 😂
Crosby when he is finally done will be in the top 5 players, ever. He's already easily in the top 10.
Crosby can play till he's 40 easily. His hockey IQ is too high for him to fall off just yet
I used to watch hockey psychology but I now pretty much watch most of his videos on this channel haha
Worst part about hockey: stupid fights. Best part: skill, skating, passing, shooting, schemes, coordination.
Utah taking over the sports world
Crosby's contract expires in '26. He'll most likely retire then.
I dunno I think he loves hockey too much I hope he doesn’t!

Go Canes 🌪️🏒
