@@lowtierduster-7254 I didn't criticize the Oilers, I said that they're hated by teams (and fanbases) they have a history with. Besides Perry and Kane, most of the players are pretty likable. Your arrogance and insecurity is what I saw from 90% of Oilers fans during this playoff run. Don't feel sorry for them one bit, they deserved the heartbreaking finish they got.
@@protoman1365 all good i was just rubbing it in haha. idk how this is insecurity though? all i said was that if you managed to beat the oilers, you’re not escaping the second round.
The Edmonton Oilers are the Green Bay Packers of the NHL. As someone who grew up in Edmonton we lived and died hockey, non-stop even in July and we were (until Winnipeg came back) the smallest market.
Habs are the Barcelona of the NHL (not US sports, I know). They're both historically dominant teams with deep ties to a region with a historically oppressed minority language community with players both from the local regions (Québec and Catalonia) and also many legends from outside as well.
That’s extremely humorous your comparing the most successful team in nhl history too not even the most successful Spanish team, Habs are closer to madrid in terms of titles and Bayern in terms of both titles and language
You forgot to talk about controversies marring some of their championship runs further cementing the link between the Blackhawks & the Patriots. When you called LA the Giants I initially thought the Giants would've been more comparable to the Hawks but I think you got the right comparisons especially since there's been nothing shady about the Giant's runs as opposed to Chacago's.
Here in England, the maple leafs are definitely the Tottenham Hotspur in terms of having a promising lineup, hype and attention every season yet continuing to botch every single season, except for when they did win a trophy back in 08. Though it was a unimportant cup that nobody really gave a shit about so it's really nothing despite it being atleast something.
@@Lny_Forner Just a history lesson about that Tottenham Cup in 2008, Chelsea was the opponent, and they finished 2nd in the League, lost the before mentioned match to Spurs, then lost on penalties in the UCL final to United.
In the 2000s, I remember fans said the Devils and Spurs were the same team. Both were not exciting to watch (Devils with their neutral zone trap and the Spurs with their defense first mentality) but won a lot of championships.
Another Ottawa/Colorado connection yet again. First it was the Denver Spurs relocating overnight to Ottawa to become the Civics in the WHA briefly. Then the Colorado Rockies of the NHL we're considering moving to Ottawa in 1982 before deciding to go to New Jersey in the end. As well at the Ottawa 67s games, in between play during the periods, they advertise a Colorado made beer, with actor William H. Macy endorsing it.
Those are some really good takes, I agree with pretty much most of them. I think the Bucs could be a better comparison for the Stars (won 1 championship during late 90s- early 2000s, forgettable in the late 2000s-late 2010s, resurgence in the 2020s) but the Rams are a great comparison.
Nice call on Panthers/Lions, they wasted Barry Sanders and we wasted Pavel Bure. But the Leafs are the Dolphins LOL...Fins have much longer championship drought than Dallas and NOBODY likes our owner. Leafs fans point to cups from 60 years ago, Fins fans point to perfect season 50+ years ago :)
Great video I think the Wild are more like the Timberwolves because both teams are the second franchise in their leagues and both have made only one conference finals appearance
The NHL and NFL were very similar in the 1970s. The Flyers were the Raiders. Those 2 franchises were mirror images of one another in the 1970s and 80s. The Canadiens were the Steelers. Both franchises owned the 70s. And the Bruins were the Cowboys. Both had 2 championships in the 70s, and both lost twice to the Canadiens and Steelers
Phoenix Suns is a pretty accurate description for the Canucks. Look at their three finals appearances opponents they got defeated by a Boston team they got defeated by a dynasty (Bulls, Islanders) since then both teams are not the same anymore they got defeated by a team who has a championship drought more than 50 years (Bucks, Rangers)
Leafs are more a hybrid of the Cowboys and Lions. They have the fanbase, media attention and choking skills of the Cowboys with the drought of winning a championship and making the finals of the Lions.
Actually, the Chicago Blackhawks are more comparable with the San Francisco Giants. Both storied franchises with legendary players, but also with decades-long championship drought which finally ended in 2010. And both became dynasties in the 2010’s.
I love how creative this video is. I might have compared the Vegas Golden Knights much more to the Houston Astros on reputation and hate alone, but I think the histories make sense to compare them to the Lightning. Also, I compared the SF Giants a little bit more as the Chicago Blackhawks - same logic of a long drought, the team breaking their drought and forging their dynasty in the mid 2010s (with 3 titles in non consecutive years), and then fading out at the end of the decade only to never be that good this year. Otherwise, I think most of the comparison are very apt.
The Dallas Stars always reminded me of the Baltimore Ravens, while the Minnesota Wild are the Cleveland Browns. The Stars and the Ravens won championships shortly after relocating from Minnesota and Cleveland. While Minnesota and Cleveland got their teams back a few years after losing them
As an Avs and Broncos fan, as much as I hate the Ravens, that comparison is SPOT ON. And to add as a Sharks fan...yeah...that Chargers comparison is also spot on...
I'd say the Oilers are the Chicago Bulls given that both teams had arguably the best player of the entire sport & won alot of championships with their respective teams and have not had much success since the 90s
Columbus should be the Browns in my opinion. Ohio team with years of futility, wasting some high level talent, and getting owned consistently by big brother in Pittsburgh
No one expected the Knights to win? I was dreading the conference finals and the SCF cause I knew Vegas was gonna take it. I don't think many people were surprised lol.
Are you trolling me wearing that Seahawks hat? Bro! What a PHENOMENAL video! Toronto/Dallas Cowboys; Edmonton/San Francisco 49ers; Philadelphia/ Miami Dolphins; Montreal/New York Yankees; San Jose/ LA Chargers; Nashville/ Indiana Pacers are on Point. Utah/ A’s or Raiders makes sense considering the franchises moving locations. In the Zone 98’ I owned that game. I hated it.
@@TwistedWristerHockey the post I made didn’t age to well, since the Niners lost today and the Seahawks won. 🤦♂️ troll on brutha, troll on! Niners are in a heap of trouble…
As a Chiefs fan, they used to be the Leafs prior to Superbowl 54: - last championship in the 60's & 70's - always uncannily choking in the playoffs, unable to get past round 1 - an elite scoring trio (Nylander/Matthews/Marner & Mahomes/Kelce/Hill) - second fiddle to a Boston team in recent years Now they're like Tampa of the last few years: - 3 finals appearances (Tampa vs Dallas, MTL, Colorado, KC vs SF x2, Philly & Tampa) with multiple championships, 1 back to back - big trades for pieces to keep the success rolling (Jeannot, Goodrow, Hagel & Paul trades for Tampa, Frank Clark, Orlando Brown Jr & Toney trades for KC) - a monstrous playmaker who is considered a whiny pest by quite a few (Kucherov, Mahomes) - a great defensive veteran (Hedman, Chris Jones) - here's a stretch: a young center who's among the best in the league (Point, Creed Humphrey)
I would compare the knights to the ravens, won early into their existence and haven’t seen many hard times. Ravens never being bad for long when they are
Vegas,Chicago,st.louis and Florida have won cups while over the cap and that’s just the ones in recent memory, let’s not forget the oilers plan on putting Kane on LTIR as soon as the season starts to add more pieces then they’ll bring him back once playoffs start. Let’s not act like Tampa having 8 mil over the cap on their active roster made that much of a difference, oooo they got 3rd paring dman david savard who had a total of 5 points for Tampa and was a defensive liability. come on man
Better comparison with the Wild would be their NBA brethens the Timberwolves. Both are still trying to advance to the their first championship round. Both were expansion teams that replaced original Minnesota teams that moved (North Stars and Lakers).
Has a habs fan i knew you we're going to say the Yankees. It was the most obvious take. Don't need to apologize 😂😂. Habs and Yankees are always mentioned GO YANKEES
Maple Leafs could be compared to Arsenal (Premier League), it’s not a surprise when they choke in another heartbreaking manner. Lightning are like the Chiefs currently (although not as dominant). Was shit but now has experienced a dominant run. Sharks are like the Vikings/Suns. They’ll do enough to be considered a good team that can’t win. Kings are like the Houston Rockets during the ‘90s. No one expected them to win and to this date, both teams are lowest seeded (Houston at 6) and Kings (at 8) to win a title. Ducks- Anaheim Angels
@@Yankers356 Nah, Oilers are United. Decent History, won a few trophies with a great, got players due to history and legacy and now is stinking up the joint.
@@TwistedWristerHockey Rockets were good but Hakeem was on the tail end of his career and it was in the MJ’s Bulls Dynasty and the West was stacked so they were a fringe team. No one expected the Kings to win in 2012 at all and thought it was a fluke until they won again in 2014 and they almost pulled out a 3peat too.
The Montreal Canadiens are more like the Chicago Bears. Won a thousand Champions in the stone age but haven't won a modern championship in 30+ years, and have been basically dog shit since the last championship.

This'll be fun...what do y'all think of my takes?
Oilers are indeed the Niners of the NHL, loaded with talent and star power but always come up short or at rock bottom since the 80's.
And hated by the fans of the northern West Coast and Los Angeles.
@@protoman1365hey man if you somehow beat the oilers there is 0 chance you go further than that

The Edmonton Oilers are the Green Bay Packers of the NHL. As someone who grew up in Edmonton we lived and died hockey, non-stop even in July and we were (until Winnipeg came back) the smallest market.
They also had periods of darkness. With the Packers after Lombardi left until Farve came coming out. Like how McDavid and Leon did for the Oilers
Habs are the Barcelona of the NHL (not US sports, I know). They're both historically dominant teams with deep ties to a region with a historically oppressed minority language community with players both from the local regions (Québec and Catalonia) and also many legends from outside as well.

WHO HASNT HEARD OF REAL MADRID🗣️🗣️🗣️🥶🥶🥶💯💯💯
pretty accurate from a Broncos,Avs and Nuggets fan
Wow, I didn't expect my spur of the moment unexplained comparison to get a shoutout here!
Literally popped up as I saw this comment but yeah ... Well done and accurate

the league cup? sure, it's basically just a step above super cups, but id still be pretty pissed if my team lost in the final

I would say the penguins have the legacy of michael jordan and the bulls if it was spread out across 40 years. Right now they're in the last dance era
As a Colorado native, the moment you mentioned the Rockies, my immediate thought was:
“Oh no, they trash”
Another Ottawa/Colorado connection yet again. First it was the Denver Spurs relocating overnight to Ottawa to become the Civics in the WHA briefly. Then the Colorado Rockies of the NHL we're considering moving to Ottawa in 1982 before deciding to go to New Jersey in the end.

Flyers had the misfortune of always running into a dynasty
Nice call on Panthers/Lions, they wasted Barry Sanders and we wasted Pavel Bure. But the Leafs are the Dolphins LOL...Fins have much longer championship drought than Dallas and NOBODY likes our owner. Leafs fans point to cups from 60 years ago, Fins fans point to perfect season 50+ years ago :)
As a Wings and Lions fan I think you nailed both of them.
God the Bruins/Packers comparison is accurate. I never had a way to describe the Bs to non hockey fans, this is sadly perfect 😅
I agree on the Kings and Giants. What a decade the 2010s were
Bills and Sabres comp is still valid. Before McD and Allen we had an 18 year drought
Great video I think the Wild are more like the Timberwolves because both teams are the second franchise in their leagues and both have made only one conference finals appearance

JJ Jameson should change the Ms Marvel thumbs up emote to the actual middle finger. (It could be blurred out.)
Love the Seahawks hat you wear in this video as a Seahawks fan myself 💙💚
Saint-Caps makes so much sense.
I think pitsburg should be GSW because they both had success in the 2010s
As an Avs and Broncos fan, as much as I hate the Ravens, that comparison is SPOT ON. And to add as a Sharks fan...yeah...that Chargers comparison is also spot on...
Great video. - Victory Hockey League member.
As a Bruins fan living in Wisconsin…no, no, I can see it.
Love this video, can't say I disagree with any comparisons. The Minnesota teams all being the same is so funny lmao
I'd say the Oilers are the Chicago Bulls given that both teams had arguably the best player of the entire sport & won alot of championships with their respective teams and have not had much success since the 90s
Columbus should be the Browns in my opinion. Ohio team with years of futility, wasting some high level talent, and getting owned consistently by big brother in Pittsburgh
I would probably compare the golden knights to the Toronto Raptors because when both the raptors and golden knights won no one expected it
No one expected the Knights to win? I was dreading the conference finals and the SCF cause I knew Vegas was gonna take it. I don't think many people were surprised lol.
I think you’re confusing year 1. We didn’t win that🤣🤣
Awesome video dude, not sure if you've done a video like this yet but could you do your Top 5/10 favorite NHL seasons?
There are a couple of fun ways I could approach that, and it's likely an opportunity to get some good community responses. Great idea 🙌
The Bruins are the Atlanta Braves of hockey.
I'm a Reds and Flames fan. idk whether i should be happy or not ngl
NY Rangers have made the finals since their championship run. They made it in 2014.
Yet to watch but i just had a convo earlier today about how the Senators are basically the wizards in a few years
You ought to draw player comparisons in a video. Example: Wayne Gretzky is the NHL’s version of Michael Jordan. (But keep it current players only.)
Oooo I like your thinking, thank you!
No hockey team is like any other sports team because no other sport except MLS is a one position sport. Goaltender
But fun video anyways.
Are you trolling me wearing that Seahawks hat? Bro!
What a PHENOMENAL video! Toronto/Dallas Cowboys; Edmonton/San Francisco 49ers; Philadelphia/ Miami Dolphins; Montreal/New York Yankees; San Jose/ LA Chargers; Nashville/ Indiana Pacers are on Point.
Utah/ A’s or Raiders makes sense considering the franchises moving locations.
In the Zone 98’ I owned that game. I hated it.
Yeah but I mean Glenn Rice on the cover was the pinnacle of sports games 😆
@@TwistedWristerHockey the post I made didn’t age to well, since the Niners lost today and the Seahawks won. 🤦♂️ troll on brutha, troll on! Niners are in a heap of trouble…
As a Chiefs fan, they used to be the Leafs prior to Superbowl 54:
- last championship in the 60's & 70's
- always uncannily choking in the playoffs, unable to get past round 1
- an elite scoring trio (Nylander/Matthews/Marner & Mahomes/Kelce/Hill)
- second fiddle to a Boston team in recent years
Now they're like Tampa of the last few years:
- 3 finals appearances (Tampa vs Dallas, MTL, Colorado, KC vs SF x2, Philly & Tampa) with multiple championships, 1 back to back
- big trades for pieces to keep the success rolling (Jeannot, Goodrow, Hagel & Paul trades for Tampa, Frank Clark, Orlando Brown Jr & Toney trades for KC)
- a monstrous playmaker who is considered a whiny pest by quite a few (Kucherov, Mahomes)
- a great defensive veteran (Hedman, Chris Jones)
- here's a stretch: a young center who's among the best in the league (Point, Creed Humphrey)
Leafs & Cowboys are exactly the same!
I made the video!!!
I appreciate your contribution!
Is there a reason the names of the Pirates players are censored?
Oh huh, I honestly didn't even notice that. My initial thought is maybe it was used for some sort of online quiz (i.e. Sporcle).
I would compare the knights to the ravens, won early into their existence and haven’t seen many hard times. Ravens never being bad for long when they are

chill bro the sabres boutta be nice this year😎😎😎
The Leafs are not the Dallas Cowboys of the NHL regardless of the playoffs. Why are the Leafs the Dallas Cowboys of the NHL in the first place?
Obnoxious, entitled fanbases maybe?

As a Sharks/SF Giants fan, that Kings comparison is pretty accurate, even if it does make me want to take a chemical shower after thinking about it.
I've sat on that one for years, too. I hear ya though!
Go birds!! Fly eagles fly!
I was expecting VGK's comparison to be Astros. Everybody hates Astros. lol
That makes plenty of sense 💯
I think canadiens should be patriots, nucks could be bills, and coyotes r panthers
