Seeing the first THG Power Rankings is like Punxsutawney Phil not seeing his shadow. It's time for hockey.

I might actually shed tears of joy if Keybank Center hosts a Sabres playoff game. You know we will pack that building if we get one.

I have high expectations for my Sharks, which means not finishing dead last in your power rankings.

[coot]

Alright, it's a good sign when these kinds of videos are getting uploaded

[williamburns]

Saying it now Buffalo Sabres make the playoffs this season!!!

[ae.mounty]

I like these rankings, although if it was me i would definitely put the capitals around 18-20, and the devils around 10-12

Pleasantly surprised to see Utah so high. The division is full of killers so hopefully Utah can put up a good performance in the regular season.

I think you're giving the Blue Jackets too much credit.

[ryanbrown]

Excited for the season and to be this early!

Thanks for wearing a chilliwack bruins jersey, if you ever want to come to a chiefs game I'd gladly buy you and your wife a ticket. Thanks for the awesome content!!

[samscheidegger]

TBH, surprised to see the CBJ that high as a Jackets fan! Not expecting much this year obviously.

[Swpht]

As a Canes fan, I was expecting 9-10 range. still top 3 in metro but not battling 1/2, now battling 2/3. Caps were a little higher than I was expecting as well but generally agree with the rest. Very excited for the season to be start up

[janmarsch]

Sorry Shannon, but Washington at 14th place is just pure insanity...they belong to the bottom line, period...cannot find any reason for them being better then Montreal or even Calgary, just simply none...i love Your videos, and appretiate the hard work behind them, but this pick does not make any sense to me, sorry

[generalimlerith]

I’m very upset Shannon you don’t got my flames at 32 lol

[nathanspreitzer]

Really don’t want the Caps back in the playoffs

[danielv]

This'll be a great season. Hoping we get Dallas VS. Rangers. LGR 🔵 🔴 ⚪️ 🗽

With so many nuking Vegas' rankings over the offseason, it's nice to see someone with pretty reasonable take.

[pauliek]

The Blues will be better than last year but the entire Central is better too. Blues will challenge for a playoff spot.

[marquisduhsade]

Columbus will be bottom 2, they have no offense and have terrible goaltending.

My personal opinion is that Buffalo WILL MAKE THE PLAYOFFS. You heard it here first 🎉
