This is a segment from the Slumpbuster Podcast. Gio, Mikey and the Cack from the Faceoff Hockey Podcast are here to talk all things NHL. In this segment we talk what motivates professional hockey players when choosing their franchises in free agency. Are tax rates over discussed when talking playing in America vs Canada? Do players care what the weather is like outside or do they prefer fame and adoration? Is it as easy as whoever writes the biggest check? Listen to Ju-Ju and the boys from Faceoff discuss this interesting subject! #NHL #Hockey #LetsDoThatHockey #StanleyCup

ESPN and the National Hockey League have come to terms on a massive television deal. The deal is for 7-years at a whopping $3B. Is this a good deal for both the NHL and ESPN? What were both sides motivations? In what ways does this affect events like the Winter Classic and Stanley Cup Finals? The Cack from the Faceoff Hockey Podcast joins Ju-Ju to discuss. Enjoy!! #NHL #Hockey #ESPN #StanleyCup NBC made a huge announcement last week. At the end of 2021 they will shutting down NBCSN and moving more of their content to USA Network and the Peacock streaming app. How does this affect sports leagues like the Premier League, NHL and PGA? Here is everything you need to know about this huge shift in the sports media landscape. #PremierLeague #NHL #PGA #NBCSN #NBC #NBCSports Gio's Tier 1 Rankings:1. Boston Bruins (44-14; 100 pts) 2. St. Louis Blues (42-19; 94 pts) 3. Tampa Bay Lightning (43-21; 92 pts) 4. Colorado Avalanche (42-20; 92 pts) 5. Washington Capitals (41-20; 90 pts) 6. Philadelphia Flyers (41-21; 89 pts) 7. Vegas Golden Knights (39-24; 86 pts) 8. Pittsburgh Penguins (40-23; 86 pts) 9. Dallas Stars (37-24; 82 pts) 10. Edmonton Oilers (37-25; 83 pts) Tier One Spotlight: Philadelphia Flyers "Before the COVID-19 outbreak, the Philadelphia Flyers were ascending the NHL standings quickly. Alain Vigneault easily could have won coach of the year if it weren't for this pause. If the NHL does resume, let’s see if the Flyers can pick up where they left off." #NHLBruins #STLBlues #GoBolts #GoAvsGo #ALLCAPS #FlyorDie #VegasBorn #LetsGoPens #GoStars #LetsGoOilers Gio's Tier 2 Rankings: 11. Carolina Hurricanes (38-25; 81 pts) 12. Toronto Maple Leafs (36-25; 81 pts) 13. New York Islanders (35-23; 80 pts) 14. Columbus Blue Jackets (33-22; 81 pts) 15. New York Rangers (37-28; 79 pts) 16. Winnipeg Jets (37-28; 80 pts) 17. Calgary Flames (36-27; 79 pts) 18. Florida Panthers (35-26; 78 pts) 19. Vancouver Canucks (36-27; 78 pts) 20. Minnesota Wild (35-27; 77 pts) Tier Two Spotlight: Winnipeg Jets "Just like the Flyers, The Winnipeg Jets were on fire before the NHL season was paused. Winners of 6 in their last 10, they were shaping into form to make a final playoff push. Add Paul Maurice as a top candidate, alongside Vigneault, for coach of the year… If the season resumes.." #LetsGoCanes #LeafsForever #Isles #CBJ #PlayLikeANewYorker #GoJetsGo #Flames #FlaPanthers #Canucks #MNWild Gio's Tier 3 Rankings:21. Nashville Predators (35-26; 78 pts) 22. Chicago Blackhawks (32-30; 72 pts) 23. Arizona Coyotes (33-29; 74 pts) 24. Los Angeles Kings (29-35; 64 pts) 25. New Jersey Devils (28-29; 68 pts) 26.

Detroit Red Wings (17-49; 39 pts) Tier Three Spotlight: Los Angeles Kings "The Los Angeles Kings are well into a rebuild (assuming they are) but lately, they were playing spoiler to teams needing points to get into the playoffs. Riding a 7 game winning streak before COVID, the Los Angeles Kings deserve some love for not completely giving up on the season." #Preds #Blackhawks #Yotes #GoKingsGo #NJDevils #GoHabsGo #Sabres50 #LetsGoDucks #goSENSgo #SJSharks #LGRW #NHL #PowerRankings #BustTheSlump #TheSlumpbuster #FaceOffHockey

Toronto Maple Leafs (35-23; 78 pts) Tier One Spotlight: Vegas Golden Knights "The Vegas Golden Knights have found their way back to the top of the Pacific and finally are putting together the season everyone thought they would have. Adding Robin Lehner at the deadline was a great move to solidify the goalie tandem heading into the playoffs. Watch for Vegas to make a deep run into April." #STLBlues #NHLBruins #GoBolts #ALLCAPS #GoAvsGo #LetsGoFlyers #VegasBorn #GoStars #LetsGoPens #LeafsForever Tier 211. New York Islanders (35-21; 78 pts) 12. Edmonton Oilers (35-23; 78 pts) 13. New York Rangers (35-26; 74 pts) 14. Carolina Hurricanes (35-24; 75 pts) 15. Columbus Blue Jackets (32-21; 78 pts) 16.

Minnesota WIld (32-26; 71 pts) Tier Two Spotlight: The New York Rangers "The New York Rangers have turned around just as quick as anyone this year. Artemi “Breadman” Panarin could grab a couple Hart Trophy votes as they look to get into the Stanley Cup Playoffs too. Surprisingly, the Metropolitan division has been the strongest, and the Rangers haven’t backed down." #Isles #LetsGoOilers #NYR #TakeWarning #CBJ #Preds #Canucks #Flames #FlaPanthers #MNWild Tier 321. Arizona Coyotes (32-27; 72 pts) 22. Winnipeg Jets (33-28; 72 pts) 23. Montreal Canadiens (30-28; 69 pts) 24. Chicago Blackhawks (29-28; 66 pts) 25. Buffalo Sabres (29-28; 66 pts) 26.

Detroit Red WIngs (15-48; 35 pts) Tier Three Spotlight: Montreal Canadiens "Marc Bergevin and the Montreal Canadiens did a wonderful job at the trade deadline flipping guys like Marco Scandella and Ilya Kovalchuck for draft picks. Now, with a ton of picks in this upcoming draft, the Canadiens have to hit on them. They aren’t mathematically out of the playoffs, but playing well into next season can give fans hope to look forward to their future." #OurPack #GoJetsGo #GoHabsGo #Blackhawks #Sabres #NJDevils #LetsGoDucks #GoKingsGo #SJSharks #LGRW #NHL #PowerRankings #BustTheSlump #TheSlumpbuster #FaceOffHockey

Edmonton Oilers 32-21; 70 pts) Tier One Spotlight: Tampa Bay Lightning "How can it not be the Tampa Bay Lightning. As of Monday morning, they are winners of ten straight, and just traded for another goal scorer in Blake Coleman who has another 2 years left at $1.8 million. They paid a price, but Tampa is all in for Lord Stanley. " #GoBolts #NHLBruins #LetsGoPens #GoStars #ALLCAPS #GoAvsGo #AllTogetherNowSTL #LetsGoFlyers #Redvolution #LetsGoOilers Tier 211.

Florida Panthers (31-22; 68 pts) Tier Two Spotlight: Florida Panthers "The Florida Panthers fell off a cliff and there’s no end in sight. They dropped 14 spots in my power rankings, have gone 3-6-1 in their last 10, and only one of those wins was impressive. They have dropped out of a wild card position and can only hope to catch Toronto now if they want any shot at the playoffs." #Isles #TMLtalk #CBJ #VegasGoesGold #Canucks #Preds #NYR #CofRed #Yotes #FLAPanthers Tier 321. Winnipeg Jets (31-25; 67 pts) 22. Buffalo Sabres (27-25; 62 pts) 23. Minnesota Wild (27-24; 61 pts) 24. Montreal Canadiens (27-27; 62 pts) 25. San Jose Sharks (26-29; 56 pts) 26.

Detroit Red Wings (15-43; 34 pts) Tier Three Spotlight: Ottawa Senators "After what was supposed to be a dumpster fire for years to come in Ottawa, the Senators have actually won me over. They’re playing hard and showing off young talent. The Erik Karlsson trade seems to be a big win now as well. Just imagine if Ottawa ends up with two picks in the top five of this upcoming NHL entry draft..." #GoJetsGo #Sabres #MNWild #GoHabsGo #SJSharks #LetsGoDucks #Blackhawks #NJDevils #Sens #GoKingsGo #LGRW #NHL #PowerRankings #BustTheSlump #TheSlumpbuster #FaceOffHockey

Colorado Avalanche 29-16 8. New York Islanders 30-15 9. Columbus Blue Jackets 29-16 10. Toronto Maples Leafs 28-18 Tier One Spotlight: Colombus Blue Jackets "No Bobrovsky, Duchene, Dzingel or Panarin yet, the Blue Jackets still find themselves in a playoff spot in the powerhouse Metro division this year. John Tortorella is doing a tremendous job with what he has and are 8-1-1 in their last ten games bringing them into the top ten." #ALLCAPS #GoBolts #STLBlues #NHLBruins #LetsGoPens #GoAvsGo #Isles #CBJ #LeafsForever #FlaPanthers Tier 211. Vancouver Canucks 30-19 12. Edmonton Oilers 28-19 13. Dallas Stars 30-18 14. Calgary Flames 27-21 15. Philadelphia Flyers 29-17 16. Carolina Hurricanes 30-20 17. Nashville Predators 25-20 18. Chicago Blackhawks 25-21 19. Vegas Golden Knights 27-21 20. Arizona Coyotes 27-21 Tier Two Spotlight: Vancouver Canucks Of all the teams in the Pacific Division, you probably wouldn’t have picked the Canucks to be leading the way this season. Arizona and Vegas have cooled off since their start and Vancouver continues to put together wins. Quinn Hughes is looking like a staple piece for years to come, but the play of Jacob Markstrom, who should be a Vezina candidate at this point, is what really puts them on the cusp of tier one." #Canucks #LetsGoOilers #GoStars #Flames #FlyOrDie #LetsGoCanes #Preds #Blackhawks #VegasBorn #Yotes Tier 321. Montreal Canadiens 25-23 22. New York Rangers 25-22 23. Winnipeg Jets 26-23 24. Minnesota Wild 24-22 25. San Jose Sharks 23-27 26. Buffalo Sabres 23-23 27. Anaheim Ducks 22-26 28. Ottawa Senators 18-24 29. New Jersey Devils 18-24 30. Los Angeles Kings 19-30 31. Detroit Red Wings 12-38 Tier Three Spotlight: Buffalo Sabres "The Buffalo Sabres for the last two seasons have started out strong, giving their loyal fans a reason to finally believe. But, once again, it was just false hope. Jack Eichel is a superstar but when your teammate Jeff Skinner is making almost the same amount of money and only has 11 goals, that’s a problem. That isn’t their only problem that continues to come to the surface. They continue to fall down the power rankings and don’t be surprised if they’re in the bottom five by next week." #GoHabsGo #PlayLikeANewYorker #GoJetsGo #MNWIld #SJSharks #Sabres50 #LetsGoDucks #goSENSgo #NJDevils #GoKingsGo #LGRW #NHL #PowerRankings #BustTheSlump #TheSlumpbuster #FaceOffHockey
