Every year, the Stanley Cup Playoffs seem to thrust a new unlikely hero into the spotlight. Though many of these surprising stars are unable to match their heroics in the years that follow, most of them are able to secure a place on an NHL roster for several years after their career-defining performance. However, one player would find himself on the other side of the world just 2 years after his championship-clinching heroics.
This is the story of Devante Smith-Pelly: from Stanley Cup to China!

He’ll never pay for another beer in Washington DC again, they’ll never forget him.
You my last name is Copeland too lol.
Maybe at the rink. Hockey is forgotten right after the parade.
Guys got lucky the pens lost players in the summer of 2017 pfft
Its true, he's a folk hero to the caps fans
No they won't. My wife is a Caps fan (in kings) and she was so bummed when he left
Devante Smith-Pelly's goal in game six against Tampa is my personal favorite goal I've ever seen in hockey. He'll always be special to us, wherever he goes.
That goal was so huge. It was at home in such an intense game, at a critical time in the game
Selling out and blocking a slapper from the point with his neck in game 7. Ouch does not cover it.
I thought you were me lol
That goal against Vasy was unreal asf. Ofc the one that sticks out to me the most is his game 5 in the final falling in mid air on flower
Very recently with Ontario, he was part of history, as himself, Quinton Byfield, and Akil Thomas became the first all-black line since the 40s, when Ossie Carnegie, Herb Carnegie, and Manny McIntyre skated with the Sherbrooke Saints of the Quebec Senior Hockey League.
Got 3 NHL contracts. Made a few million, got the Cup. All before 28 years old. Not bad. Yeah he’s no star but he’s got heart and can do something else and everything will be just fine.
Loved this dude, he was one of my favorite power forward players. He was key during that caps stanley cup run. Hes in AHL now but i cant believe no NHL team would want a player like that
Great character, but kinda washed up. Has 1 assist in 12 games with the Ontario Reign.
As a Caps fan who saw DSP play some hard-nosed and effective hockey in the Caps Cup run I really believe he deserves a shot at a Seattle roster spot, if even a depth/taxi squad guy. He is a tuff dude and if he could lower the turnovers and let the game come to him a bit more while still playing heavy and energetically he could still be useful on an NHL checking line role. Thx 4 the vid.
Like with many other players, Coach Barry Trotz had a way with him (someone called Trotz the "Devante whisperer"). Trotz helped DSP become a better 2-way player, and he delivered big in the postseason 2018. He will always be a DC legend even if only for one season.
2 seasons actually. He played the 2018-2019 szn w the caps too but yes the 2018 playoffs and 17-18 season is what he'll mostly be remembered for @@glennhavinoviski8128
Enjoyed Smith-Pelly during his short time in NJ. Played hard every game.
The Hutchinson Kiviranta part was the quarterfinals not the semis. The stars went on to play Vegas in the semis before losing to Tampa
DSP is forever goated
Hated that the Ducks traded him in 2015. Seeing what he did for the Caps in 2018, I firmly believe Anaheim would've beaten Chicago in the WCF had they kept Smith-Pelly. One of Bob Murray's many mistakes.
I love that intro.."HELLO HOCKEY FANS"..
Fun fact, he was involved in a lot of drug activity while with the Habs, along with Alex Galchenyuk, Nathan Beaulieu and Christian Thomas. Thomas got traded because of it, and all of them aren’t with the Habs anymore
❄️
what
cocaine
@@younganddumb6909 damn pas fort
Your source?
Man Ville Leino was absolutely unstoppable in the playoffs that year he scored over a pt a game. I remember Detroit saying he was one the best players they ever had to pass on. Great for Philly, wish it had been as great in Buffalo for him.
Str8 to the point 👊 Odd Man Rush, the voice of RUclips hockey.
I wished his game had stayed good and being with the caps
Loved watching him on the Ducks. Glad he was able to win the Cup.
Forever a fan favourite.
i just found this channel in my recommendation. thank you youtube 🙏🏻
Excellent video as usual
He's only 28. He can make a turnaround. Clearly he has that rare gamebreaking ability. He should focus while he can on getting back in track
A "Black" line of Smith Pelly, Byfeild and Thomas wearing the Reign's black jersey?
Subtle... Real subtle
Don't ask me.. Ask Chyyyynaaaaaaaaa
DSP the biggest unsung hero in caps history! The homie who all caps fans will never forget!
His goal in Game 6 vs Tampa in 2018.
His Equalizer in Game 5 vs. Vegas.
i completely forgot about this guy until i saw this video
Smith-Pelly who?
Wow I never really looked at his stats over his career. However, in the tenure of his NHL and hockey career his eye test is has intangible that value him pretty good in my books
How does that Australia guy know so much about hockey players
i dont recall hearing you mention that smith-pelley (or as me and my friends call him smelly pits) byfield, and thomas are the first all-black line in the pros for 70 years. and he raised awareness of racism from a "fan" of my beloved blackhawks shouted racial slurs when dsp was in the penalty box
I was so happy when i heared he was in the AHL with the Reign!
He was a tough kid
I really like Devante, really miss him in the nhl tbh :/
Wow. Played one game for Canada juniors and got a gold medal. I guess that is cool...
I really hope DSP cracks the kings lineup
Or Seattle
Please do an episode on the Buffalo Sabres Jumbotron crashing onto the ice.
Avs came within 1 win of the WESTERN CONFERENCE FINALS in 2020 with Michael Hutchinson,(& OT at that)-not within 1 win of the Cup Finals.
Owen Sound is the city and Attack is the team name FYI so your emphasis was a little in err
The avs only made it to round 2. Kiviranta scored the hatty in game 7 of round 2 not 3.
Now, he's back in america. He play for the Ontario Reign.
Love this guy
🔥
I never heard much about DSP until he won the cup with the caps. All this time I thought he was a big time vet but he was only 25 lmao
From Stanley cup winuuuuuh to playing in chinuuuuuh”
Could you do a what ever happened to Mason raymond
I was wondering what happened to him
DSP!!!!!!!
He won the cup so i guess it was pretty successful
Im unimpressed. Guess he should have stayed in shape after winning a stanley cup... So how come u didnt mention how he only lasted one season in the KHL, n had to go to China?
At the very least, Seattle will invite him to training camp.
Um... Colorado got knocked out in the second round not the western conference final
rostaaahhhhh.
Actually hutch helped the avs get to the 2nd round not the 3rd
Caps only won in 2018 cause we lost grinders like Kunitz and Bonino
Pfft sorry salty Pens fan 😒 we made you guys champions should thank us
Devante Smith-Pelly...I haven't heard that name in a long ti--oh--wait----he---left in 2019...
Haha you went full trunk on your announcement of China at the start there bud
The avalanche weren’t 1 win from the final, they were 1 win from the conference final, & Hutchinson only played 3 games & he wasn’t good for any of those 3 games...
The avalanche weren’t in the conference finals they lost in the second round
I still don't know why China has a KHL team.
Politricks my friend
Expanding the game, there are a billion potential hockey fans. The NHL is a doing a shit job in promoting the game globally, so it’s an opportunity for the KHL. Also, it’s not a bad idea, given the KHL has teams in Russia’s East, those teams are closer to Beijing than they are Moscow.
Does anyone else remember the scandal when he stamped the autos on his trading cards
My signature is embarrassing so I would probably do the same lol
Colorado lost in the second round bro. They were one win away from the western conference final. I think you should do some more research next time. The last time Colorado was one win away from the Stanley final was in 2002.
You're right, my mistake!
Why do you hold your words so long at the end of a sentence it just makes me uncomfortable
First
