A little insite to the Merch, the RUclips channel has very little to do with it. A third party company makes and sells the items and the channel gets a very small commission. The price is high because not many items sell well so the selling company makes then on demand. It's not like they make a few thousand shirts then sell them. It's the economy of scale at work. I was offered the same deal on my channel and it simply was not worth it to offer merchandise. I have demonetized my channel. So hockey guy is not getting rich, it's more of a labor of love.
@@Scottjames-rx3db oh i wasnt talking about the channel merch, more talking about the merch as in the winter classic jerseys, hats, tee shirts etc on the nhl shop
He is not good enough for the main roster idk how many times this has to be said. He was horrible in pre-season and didn’t earn a spot. He needs to be in the AHL.
The other day the NHL Network panel was saying Ovechkin was on pace to pass Gretzky the game in LA against the Kings in March and that doesn’t seem likely anymore. It would’ve been cool to see since Gretzky passed Howe in a Kings jersey
Columbus fan here, I don't thin Jiricek is ready for the show based off of what I've seen. That being said, I can't say I'd rather have Jack Johnson getting play time over him. According to Aaron Portzline, our beat writer, there wasn't any bad blood about sending him down even though it's been rumored to be an issue in the past. They're going to have him pair with Denton Mateychuk and get some reps together as a future pairing for us. If we move a defenseman I wouldn't be surprised if it's Provorov towards the trade deadline,. Not sure if anyone wants to eat the Severson contract and while his outlet passes are super questionable at times, he's apparently a solid locker room guy.
CBJ fan but not much of a stats and metrics knowledge guy. It’s been frustrating to see Jiricek handled this way when there’s been other older D seemingly make similar mistakes and rarely miss the starting lineup.
I pull for him but I recommend you see his whole game against Boston (which I did): he really needs to play 20min a night at a lower level, for his own good imho.
As a jackets fan: He’s been pretty brutal even by the eye test. He’s not nhl ready yet. His ego is outsized for ability right now. Having Allan Walsh as an agent probably stokes the flames too
@@lukestange beyond his contract, the main thing that keeps Severson is about every 3rd game he's otherworldly and plays like he's Makar. Jiricek hasn't had a game like that in the NHL, even last year when he played half the season. The other difference is Jiricek is painfully slow, like 2018 Dion Phaneuf with his skates in cement level slow. Pretty much anyone who gets by Jiricek's gap defense has a free path to the net because Jiricek isn't getting there for 10-15 seconds.
Interesting thing about the St Louis jerseys - not sure why the team didn’t state this anywhere, but apparently, they are throwbacks to the St Louis Flyers. A fan posted a picture of the team on a Blues group.
Just checked the NHL website and the winter classic stuff is 30% off, so ... yeah. (edited to add: so Winter Classic stuff is excluded from the sale, so nvm 🥴)
The Leafs fired Babcock with years left on his massive contract like it was nothing because they make so much money. Meanwhile, the Penguins won’t fire Sullivan because his contract’s too expensive, and they don’t want to be paying two coaches at once. Just goes to show how much bigger hockey is in Canada than in the U.S. Even in a “rich” market like Pittsburgh, it’s not even close to Toronto.
Have a question for Yvonne. My wife wants to get a winter classic jersey and she has a similar build to Yvonne. It looks like they only have Men's sizes available. What men's size would you get?
Hey Shannon - just wondering. With the year Kaprizov is having, is he officially a top 10 player in the league? There are guys like Mcdavid, Mackinnon, Matthews, Makar, etc., is he entering that tier like Kucherov did a few years back? Feel like he is underrated as he’s never played with a player who is also a bonified star… whereas the other guys above all have 1+ on their teams
The Olympics are 15 months away and will have all the other players missing from 4 Nations (Kopitar, Draisaitl, etc). This is a NHL tournament and there aren't enough NHL players to fill out 10 country rosters. We can't have Russia due to obvious reasons. I think people should just enjoy the 4 Nations tournament for what it is, and know that the Olympics will satiate the desire to see the German, Slovak, Czech, Swiss, Latvian, etc NHL players. We get both options. This will be fun.
Need to cool it on the outdoor games . I don’t mind one maybe two a year. But it’s getting over done. Maybe start having teams that haven’t been in them or not as many. But it seems like it’s always the same teams every other year. Chicago, Boston, Detroit, Pittsburgh, New York.
Would like to see the Wings take a shot at Jiricek. See what he can do behind Seider eating all the tough minutes. Couldn't be much worse than Petry, Holl, and Gustafsson have been.
I would love if Jiricek was traded to a team I cheer for or a team with a great coach. He is still young and played well against AHL competition as soon as he arrived there. He's everything any team could ask for.
@@JaredLS10 Jimmy John's was started in Central IL near/at Eastern IL University. I would not be surprised at all if the hawks logo played a part in it even if it was just subconsciously.
I think some of the top players not going to the 4 Nations Cup means that guys like the ones you listed will be rested for a playoff push, especially if guys like McDavid get "worn out" from the extra few games. The NHL in some ways is keeping their star players/revenue makers "fresh"
CBJ fan, the Jiricek situation is stupid. He’s been okay when in the lineup, but he’s clearly not NHL-ready yet. He should have started the season in Cleveland, there’s no excuse for him sitting nearly every night. Leave it to Columbus, who NEED a top-4 RD, to ruin the only prospect in the system who could potentially be that in the next couple of years, for what looks like an ego trip. It’s especially frustrating when the double-standard exists for players like Johnson, Severson, and Provorov who are inconsistent, to say the least, and flat out unplayable some nights.
I'm all for the CBJ trading Jiricek. He just doesn't look settled and gets picked apart more often than not in the defensive zone. Routinely is out of position too, presumably trying to do too much. He can probably become an NHLer somewhere, but I don't think the jackets are in a position where they want to risk losing additional games just to get him his touches
Who from the CBJ has said Jiricek is on the block? DW said he is evaluating options and the choice was made send him to the AHL. Sick of these pundits and other fans offering a 2nd and depth player as a proposal, no shot. Keep him in the AHL to develop and forget other teams weak offers.
can four nations tournament have teams pick players not from nation in tournament on a rotating basis, like a draft? maybe up to certain number of players, say four or five?
With the Stars need of a good YOUNG Right hand defensemen in the system. Throwing a package at Columbus would be something I would explore. Nils Lundkvist was the wrong Ranger to trade for... Should have gone hard for Schneider because he at least has NHL size
As a Jackets fan it seems like Jiricek is sort of doing these things himself, wether its his attitude or mentality or something along those lines. If we trade him, I would love to see another younger player packaged in a deal with Jiricek to get a top 6 forward on return.
Please find a away to make your thumbnails stick out more. add your face/body or logo or something in the corner or something. Maybe have a little emblem/logo for each type of video. not sure. I feel like I always overlook your videos because they blend in. The ones where the thumbnail is your standing by the board I never miss.
The Blues jersey isn't clean, it's hideous. Yellow on white just looks like someone took a piss outside after a snow storm. Red Wings jerseys are a classic example of a clean look. There's a reason why they haven't changed them for a thousand years.
As a Blues fan, That’s the most boring jersey the Blues have ever released ever. Bring back the blue note under the arch jersey, would’ve been a much better option for the winter classic jersey.
Detroit needs to take a risk on a player like Jiricek. The d is abysmal and Yzerman's gambles on older players have been failures. Time to try something different
If he played on the Leafs or the Habs none of these experts would have him “on the trade block”. Jackets are an easy target to 💩 on. Some of it is admittedly deserved. But judging by the comments even our small CBJ fan base is giving a big middle finger to all these speculations. 😊
So the Black Hawks jersey has "Cubs" elements. Why when it's Chicago it's always the Cubs? We've won as many World Serieses in the last 100 years as the have (one). White Sox fans demand respect. After all it was the Sox setting records this year and not the Cubs.
Because Columbus is not trying to wait around for these kids to develop. They’ve acquired defensemen such as Provorov, Severson, and Fabbro in the past few years so it’s gonna be hard for him to get ice time in the foreseeable future. If they have to chance to trade him for a young rising forward or goalie, I say why not?
@@CH2716 Provorov and Fabbro are gone by the deadline. Severson is Kek’s signing heading for a buyout the way he’s playing. Devils fans warned us. Jiricek and Mateychuk are the only D in the system with upside similar to Werenski. No, he is not getting traded.
@martinslezak9664 Fabbro is actually playing really well. 4 games with 3 points and +3, suggesting to trade him away already is wild. If they believed in Jiriceck, they wouldn’t have picked up another right handed defenseman off waivers when there’s already a logjam at D. This definitely seems like another Los Angeles Kings and Brock Faber Situation
I don’t get the backlash for the 4 nations. How can you include draisaital when they could barely even make a full roster and would likely get crushed by the other teams? How can you include kucherov when he is literally banned from all international competitions? I don’t get why people are complaining its just for fun lol
Yeah, I’m not a huge fan of the STL one, but I went ahead and bought one (63 of course). I’m hoping they look better in person and I do like the font for player names, but they literally sold a sweatshirt that was almost identical to that jersey last year. So it would have been nice if they had tried being creative
Jiricek seemed to improve on very little over the offseason. In the time he’s played he hasn’t looked ready and yet he demands a spot. As a jackets fan it might be best to trade him while his value is still there
I feel you on the merch pricing, id love to rep my team more but i just cant afford these insane prices, why is a simple hat so much money??

It’s all just greed. Don’t support nhl price gouging.
Just shop at a thrift store. I found all kinds of my team's merchandise for a reasonable amount.
Not a CBJ fan, but a Cleveland Monsters fan. Happy to have Jiricek back even if only for a few games.
As a CBJ fan, I’m frustrated with how Jiricek has been handled overall. Right now I’d rather he get minutes on the main roster and learn.
He is not good enough for the main roster idk how many times this has to be said. He was horrible in pre-season and didn’t earn a spot. He needs to be in the AHL.

If only we could send Severson to the A with Jiricek, right?

The Ovechkin injury is tragic. He and the Caps were the best storyline this season. Hopefully he's back in no more than a few weeks.
tragic😂
He's going to be out a lot longer than that.

Very true. But it also becoming clear that Tor and NYR are on another level compared to the rest of the League.
the leafs get 40 million a year for naming rights of its hockey rink.
money isnt an issue imo.
pittsburg isnt considered a "rich" market
sorry.

I highly doubt that is reason penguins wont fire him 😂 few million aint nothing on them when they keep throwing money on overaged donkeys.

The Blues need Broberg on the blueline.
Jiricek sounds good let's trade a 3rd for him :D
Have a question for Yvonne. My wife wants to get a winter classic jersey and she has a similar build to Yvonne. It looks like they only have Men's sizes available. What men's size would you get?
As tired as I am of seeing Chicago in the outdoor games, they always have slick jerseys.
Lazy looking is how I might describe that Blues jersey.
How about doing rosters for 2 teams of players who aren't in it and how they'd stack up against the projected 4 nations.

Jiricek has SO much potential. Come on WPG / Chevy, offer Stanley to CBJ for Jiricek! 😁
good to see Laine is close to coming back as he is needed badly
Secondary market for jerseys is prime, everyone wants a variety
Would like Jiricek for the Sabres. I wonder what the ask is?
Blues are not upset about losing Kapanen.
I would love if Jiricek was traded to a team I cheer for or a team with a great coach. He is still young and played well against AHL competition as soon as he arrived there. He's everything any team could ask for.
Schenn looks mad in the picture of the jersey unveiling
Losing doesn't help...
I would be mad too if I had to wear that junk.
It’ll take a crazy deal for Columbus to trade Jiricek. He just needs more time to develop.
I'm gonna be really pissed if Columbus trades Jirichek so Jack Johnson who shouldn't even be in the NHL can play.
I’m in favor of you doing a 4 nations line-up projection video.
If you’re gonna draft somebody 6th overall it would be nice if they could skate well.
When is the actual 4 nations tournament? Maybe I missed that news. How will it work? Hiatus for the NHL in Feb or something?
Yes. It takes place when the All Star break used to occur.
Thank you.
Put the Chicago logo next the Jimmy Johns logo. Nearly identical.

Winter classic more like the Blackhawk classic
I hate when something is described as 'clean'. Like yeah, obviously, who would market something dirty? They are obviously gonna clean it first.
Blues sweater is yawn-worthy, and I am a HUGE Blues fan. I suppose they need to have a swing and a miss on occasion.
The Blues Winter Classic jersey matches their on-ice performance: Meh.
