I remember being a so young watching a kid from nova scotia became the face of the league and a Russian phenom who could barely speak English blast down the wing with a mirror visor yellow laces with the tongues out I love that I grew up in that Era of hockey
Before the video started, I made my own picks. Matched on 18 of them. The only one that surprised me that you didn't even consider was Igor in NY. They have many faces to choose from, but that city in particular needs its stars so I guess it's fitting. Additional side note, as a Red Wings fan I love Cat, but it's not even close. Larks is "the diesel engine that runs the team" as Micky Redmond frequently points out.
Literally born and raised to hate the Habs, but I agree too. Caufield just seems to be having the time of his life out there. I love guys like that who treat playing in the NHL like the childhood dream it was for so many of us.
As a habs fan nick is still the face, Cole has underperformed a lot for his expectations in the first half of the season so I feel like for a lot of habs fans it’s still nick
Cool vid. I really like Chucky and I love Bob, but Barkov is Captain for a reason. Barkov is the Florida Panthers. He's also holding and breaking most of the Panther records. #GOCATS
Also Adding Jack Eichel was the center position piece they desperately needed. I’m not saying he’s the face of the franchise, just saying I believe he’s a big reason why they won the cup.
Stars fan here. So hyped to hear you mention Roope Hintz! He's my favorite player, and pretty underrated compared to some other Dallas Stars. Surprised you didn't mention Miro Heiskanen. I didn’t fully appreciate how much he contributed to the team until he was out with an injury this season.
As a Lightning fan yeah I agree with Stamkos, when I moved to Tampa 8 years ago the first thing I saw in the city was a massive poster of him and Kucherov, and I know the whole city will be heartbroken when the day comes he’s not a bolt anymore
On the notion of branching out into new video styles, I'm liking these new offerings. Top 10 lists are also good, along with categorized tier lists (A, B, C, etc), if you've given them any consideration. Keep up the great work 👍
Dude these style videos are the BEST I love watching and being able to agree or have my own opinion on stuff, and honestly that's how I found your channel when you ranked all the home arenas
Honestly i feel like slafvosky will be a close number 2 or 1 for the canadiens hes really becoming a star and has a funny personality hope the best from him and great video!
Barkov is great and has been a panther for a long time. But Tkachuk is much more marketable and has the personality. He's also the reason the Panthers got to the Finals. @@mapa6353
People hate Binnington from other fanbases, but many GMs and players think highly of him as a goalie. He’s a playoff performer. Not great in the regular season necessarily, but he’s one of the best in the league come post season time.
I just want to say, the parallel between Kopitar/Doughty and Pettersson/Hughes should have Vancouver fans excited about a widening Stanley Cup window. Canucks have two faces of the franchise entering their prime in two of the most important spots.
I love panarin, he's great, funny and has a super warm aura about him like a puppy. But to me the face of my rangers is Mika (Or rather the Mika & Kreids duo). New York loves Mika and he looks like the absolute package of a charming and great guy. I see why you'd pick panarin and absolutely see why you put fox in the running (i'd even put igor up there with them). Overall good video, keep it up.
As a Florida panthers die hard it’s Barkov, we absolutely worship chucky. But the sheer amount of years that Barky (and also Ekky) have put in during the lean years doesn’t go unnoticed. I think maybe the general hockey world got a bit more of a glimpse at how Barky is the leader during the cup run that just enfolded Basically your arguments for kopitar is the same reason as to why Barkov is our leader.
I wish Marner got more recognition. He’s grown so much, from the guy who always turned over the puck, to the guy who you know will force a turnover from the other team. Most of Matthews goals are off of steals from Marner.
aw johnny, i hope you know that bit about less than 10 seconds on habs is my way of saying how great your content is, and how id like more habs centerd stuff.
Dear JH, You're absolutely crushin' it with your NHL videos! So many talented and fun players around the league; inspires me to watch/follow even more teams. (HAWKS fan since 93 in Chicago)
Only one I don’t agree with is Montreal, however that’s only because Nick played in Owen Sound where I’ve grown up and still live and got to have quite a few nice conversations with him
Love this channel. No cringe hockey is needed on RUclips Lol i thought you were about to pick Cat for the wings 🛞🪽 good choice and the only one with D-Boss
I love Rasmus, but if you need a runner up “face of the franchise” for Buffalo, I think Tuch is it. He plays with heart, he’s a local(ish) guy, every Buffalo fan I know loves him.. I’d love to see him get the C when Okposo retires, I just hope he can get his groove back, stay healthy and start winning games
lmao i paused the video when he said "i havent seen those fans love a player as much as they love cole caufeild." I paused the video and ranted about carrey price and then he said carry price as soon as i started it lol
As a lifelong Dallas fan, it's 100% Jamie Benn not Robo. Jamie was the young superstar talent when I was young, and is now the older vet captain. Also has been through more than his fair share of controversies.
Stars fan here, ik im biased but I think of Benn first when I think of the stars. Hes gonna have his jersey in the rafters when he hangs up the skates and if the stars win a cup in this window, benn should be a serious candidate for the hall.
It’s definitely Stammer, and I’m glad made that argument because a lot of people think it’s Kucherov, but not a single Tampa fan hates Stammer, which you could argue against Kuch.
@@toke7342 Whats so far funny? He already is running plays on the ice. More so than Stamkos. Kuch is always telling them where to be or where to go for a certain play. Has been for the last 3-4 years. They gave him a A because of it. He is now vocal when he needs to be and leads by example when he has too. Right now he leads the NHL in scoring. He sees the ice like Crosby or McDavid. Of coarse he is running things on the ice. Anyone watching Tampa games knows this. Common knowledge. Tell me your clueless without actually telling me. 😂
@@toke7342 Yeah its a stretch that the best player on the team, leads the team on the ice by example and the person who tells the captain (stamkos) where to be on the ice on certain plays that for him to have a C is a joke. The only joke here is you. 😂 You"re are not captain obvious are you? 😂 At least try to inform yourself before making stupid comments.
Not a avs fan but Mack is good but makar is the men since is crazy year when they win the cup, rangers I think you forgot shesterkin 😂 or atleast as a contender and for tampa i don’t see how is not kuch but though choice
“Toe drag Bedsy” love the Coach Chippy shoutout .
Love the coach chippy reference

yeah these 2 stood out to me too. Larkin is easily the face of the Wings and Igor has to be mentioned, they love him.
100% agree on Caufield. I am not a Habs fan, but everytime I see that guy, I can't help but smile
Habs rebuild isnt gonna end until they realise they canT build a team around two B list players.
Literally born and raised to hate the Habs, but I agree too. Caufield just seems to be having the time of his life out there. I love guys like that who treat playing in the NHL like the childhood dream it was for so many of us.

Oh god this is making me feel old. Almost all of my favourite players from 10 years ago are retired.
Cool vid. I really like Chucky and I love Bob, but Barkov is Captain for a reason. Barkov is the Florida Panthers. He's also holding and breaking most of the Panther records. #GOCATS
I remember the Vegas expansion draft. Everyone said that Marchessault would be the difference maker.
Also Adding Jack Eichel was the center position piece they desperately needed. I’m not saying he’s the face of the franchise, just saying I believe he’s a big reason why they won the cup.
@@shroomgod1990first thing Marchey did when he won the Conn Smythe was hug Eichel and say "you won this for me"
Crazy that Florida GAVE UP Reilly Smith just so they would take Marchessault and later win the Smythe against them
I mean..... besides Fleury, no?
Stars fan here. So hyped to hear you mention Roope Hintz! He's my favorite player, and pretty underrated compared to some other Dallas Stars. Surprised you didn't mention Miro Heiskanen. I didn’t fully appreciate how much he contributed to the team until he was out with an injury this season.

Are hockey player

Yes
Dude these style videos are the BEST I love watching and being able to agree or have my own opinion on stuff, and honestly that's how I found your channel when you ranked all the home arenas
Blake Coleman could honestly be a veteran leader in the Calgary dressing room
Although he's not a veteran yet, I could see much of the same with Rasmus Andersson
Honestly i feel like slafvosky will be a close number 2 or 1 for the canadiens hes really becoming a star and has a funny personality hope the best from him and great video!
I wouldnt have picked Gaudreau for Blue Jackets. To me it looks like he doesnt belong there. It has to be Boone Jenner.
I dunno, the fans are always booing that guy!
(I hope the sarcasm was sufficiently obvious.)
I completely agree with this!
This is amazing video I just really getting into nhl these videos are definitely helping
Hughes is Vancouver's face for sure.
Great listen! Loved it - more stuff like this.

They say that Barkov isn't underrated anymore. But to pick Tkachuk over Barkov for face of Florida Panthers is a joke.
Barkov is great and has been a panther for a long time. But Tkachuk is much more marketable and has the personality. He's also the reason the Panthers got to the Finals. @@mapa6353
true I forgot@@bigchillinpodcast
Everyone forgets Flower
People hate Binnington from other fanbases, but many GMs and players think highly of him as a goalie. He’s a playoff performer. Not great in the regular season necessarily, but he’s one of the best in the league come post season time.
Couldn’t agree more - Quickest way to get a fan’s hockey IQ is to ask them what they think of Binnington
Bruins fan here . Yeah , you nailed it for the B's. I feel like it's 51% marchy and 49% Pasta ... good work bud
I love the longer videos! Keep it up man.
I just want to say, the parallel between Kopitar/Doughty and Pettersson/Hughes should have Vancouver fans excited about a widening Stanley Cup window. Canucks have two faces of the franchise entering their prime in two of the most important spots.
awesome video! Love the content as always my guy

Anyone know what jersey Beniers is wearing in that pic at 12:07? Cant find it :0
Another one for Dallas would be Miro, especially in the DFW area, it his him Robo and Otter.
Great vid man!

Basically your arguments for kopitar is the same reason as to why Barkov is our leader.
really enjoying all of your videos latley!!
You should this exact video but for All-Time players
The double take when I heard Kerfoot’s name…
I wish Marner got more recognition. He’s grown so much, from the guy who always turned over the puck, to the guy who you know will force a turnover from the other team. Most of Matthews goals are off of steals from Marner.

Jonathan Marchessault is also Vegas’ franchise career leader in games played, goals, assists, and points.
I like how he was just like, yep for Chicago its bedard😂
Can u make a video abt the Red Wings and Senators game (as in the OT goal)
surprised it wasn't Couturier for the Flyers! Definitely the guy who came to mind for me
Love this channel. No cringe hockey is needed on RUclips
Lol i thought you were about to pick Cat for the wings 🛞🪽 good choice and the only one with D-Boss
these videos are great
As an Avs fan, it's far and away Nate for sure. The name you think of, the most important and best it's all Mack.
Loved the video! You should do most hated player of each team
Thank yu for saying Marchy for the VGK
I love Rasmus, but if you need a runner up “face of the franchise” for Buffalo, I think Tuch is it. He plays with heart, he’s a local(ish) guy, every Buffalo fan I know loves him.. I’d love to see him get the C when Okposo retires, I just hope he can get his groove back, stay healthy and start winning games
You should do another version of this and call it next face of the franchise. For a team like Washington id consider Strome
I feel like Dallas would be either Benn or Seguin, but at the same time i dont watch any dallas games so i dont really know
Great content. Coach Chippy🤣
lmao i paused the video when he said "i havent seen those fans love a player as much as they love cole caufeild." I paused the video and ranted about carrey price and then he said carry price as soon as i started it lol
As a lifelong Dallas fan, it's 100% Jamie Benn not Robo. Jamie was the young superstar talent when I was young, and is now the older vet captain. Also has been through more than his fair share of controversies.
The respect for putting Marchessault is so awesome
I think it’s a toss up between Panarin and Trocheck for me!
This dude is speaking french actually! What a good pronouciation of French Canadian player names 😄🤟
Stars fan here, ik im biased but I think of Benn first when I think of the stars. Hes gonna have his jersey in the rafters when he hangs up the skates and if the stars win a cup in this window, benn should be a serious candidate for the hall.
As a Jets fan, an argument could be made for Josh Norrissey too
Isles by committee style kind of makes them vanilla. It's works to a point but it's vanilla. I'm going to go w/ Anders Lee.
Solid video, but Miro Heiskanen deserves to be in the conversation for Dallas
You did us calgarian dirty with the markstrom pick, it's kadri all day
Loving it!
Great video
Personally, i wouldve gone with connor brown for the oilers but i can see your side of it too
How? Connor brown hasn’t even scored a single goal with the oilers and he coughs up pucks 24/7 plus he has been in Edmonton for half a year
@@PotatoToesMasterit’s sarcasm
Ayy I think you got the name wrong with the avs franchise player. It’s spelled ”MacDermid” and not ”MacKinnon”. Overall tho, great picks
ANA - Zegras
ARZ - Keller
BOS - Marchand
BUF - Dahlin
CGY - Huber…lol Markstrom
CAR - Slavin
CHI - Bedard
COL - MacKinnon
CBJ - Gaudreau
DAL - Oettinger
DET - Larkin
EDM - McDavid
FLA - Tkachuk
LA - Doughty
MIN - Kaprizov
MTL - Suzuki
NSH - Josi
NJ - Hughes
NYI - Sorokin
NYR - Shesterkin
OTT - Tkachuk
PHI - Konecny
PIT - Crosby
SJ - Couture
SEA - Beniers
STL - Binnington
TB - Vasilevskiy
TOR - Matthews
VAN - Hughes
VGK - Marchessault
WSH - Ovechkin
WPG - Hellebuyck
Flower for MIN?
i wonder who will be picked for my team, the Pittsburgh Penguins! cant wait to find out!
🤯
Were u expecting anybody else?@@bavier6355
5:43 imagine calling Abdelkader “the old guard” 😂
Barkov is too quiet, he goes so unnoticed to be the face and tkachuk has made SO MUCH NOISE
It’s definitely Stammer, and I’m glad made that argument because a lot of people think it’s Kucherov, but not a single Tampa fan hates Stammer, which you could argue against Kuch.
Johnny youre doing something unique now with this Choosing a _____ for hockey topics. Very nice and sets you apart from an Eck clone
Huge missed opportunity on a "day f***ing one" for Marchessault
Detroit is the guy who does the griddy
McCann is a good choice, Eberle or Dunn would have been good choices as well.
No way he says that Adam Fantilli too early but then he also says Connor Bedard
Let’s see if Marchy gets a new contract in Vegas, I’m getting a little worried
Us wild fans love Brock Faber too
in a few years i think marco rossi could be the face too
Fleury? Guys?
Fleury? Guys?
More longer videos!
Good choice with Jonathan Marchessault, he'll be our first retired # in Vegas! Go Knights Go!
Kuch already took over as the teams MVP. He is the teams Crosby.
😂😂😂

@@chelious1973 well if you believe he's as good as crosby and his career, good for you.
Only 2 D, surprising
Giving The Rat the C says all I need to know about the Bruins’ franchise.
Caufield in MTL.....we are in trouble for a couples of years!!!😒😒
Stl would’ve been Perron if they actually cared enough to sign him
Sorokin didn’t speak a word of English when he came to the NHL. That might be why you don’t see interviews from him much. 😂
Boone jenner!!! For columbus blue jackets
what is your favorite team?
Not a avs fan but Mack is good but makar is the men since is crazy year when they win the cup, rangers I think you forgot shesterkin 😂 or atleast as a contender and for tampa i don’t see how is not kuch but though choice
Giroux is the heart of Ottawa.
But ya, the Tkachuk dynasty is real!
Personally, when I think Rangers I think Igor Shesterkin
For New York I would’ve gone with Chris Kreider. I’m honestly surprised he’s not captain
don't think carey price would like that
@gabrielidusogie9189 Exactly
Stars gotta be Tyler Seguin
Stutzle should be sens soon
Cmon dillon Dube is becoming the face of the calgary flames 😂 Man came out and embarrased the entire organization 😂
Remember when bro was a Habs fan and only made videos about the Habs
Zegras, Cooley, Marchand, Dahlin, Markstrom, Aho, Bedard (well, duh), MacKinnon, Jenner, Oettinger, Larkin, McDavid, Tkachuk, Kopitar, Fleury, Caufield, Forsberg, Hischier, Sorokin, Panarin, Tkachuk, Konecny, Crosby, Hertl (cuz I'm czech), Daccord, Binnington (well he's an ass, Kucherov, Matthews, Hughes Q., Marchessault, Ovechkin, Scheifele
TDR!!!!!!!
Face the Nations!
The face for the Oilers should be Corey Perry
Minnesota has this player, i think he's called fugueing MARC ANDRE FLEURY, how isn't he the pick
Rangers 100% Chris Kreider
