2024-2025 NHL season

Team USA has named the following "Sensational Six" as the first 6 on their 2026 Olympic Team:

Jack Eichel
Quinn Hughes
Auston Matthews
Charlie McAvoy
Brady Tkachuk
Matthew Tkachuk

Wow! This is the start of something special!

It is so over for Marner in Toronto that he is cancelling his charity's local events before he even signs with another team:

Mitch Marner reportedly cancelling annual charity event an ominous sign for free agent

It was thought a big reason Maple Leafs star UFA wanted to stay in Toronto was this charity event, but this summer's event could be shelved.

Can there be any bigger sign that it's OVER in Toronto? I think it's mainly he doesn't want to pay high taxes on the money he will be making on the next contract. He is looking for a low tax jurisdiction.

Look at all the open ice Tkachuk had! That's good defense by Edmonton?

Oilers trailing 3-0 after 2, they will need some magic there. Panthers are playing their best tonight. The Bob sees everything and Reinhart took matters in his own hands, Matthew Tkachuk is really in a great spot for the last 3 games.with 2 goals and 3 assists.

This is the first time I see players jumping on the ice before the clock ends.

The Oilers are bums.
Connor McDavid is the NHL James Harden.

Conn Smythe Winner! 15 goals in the 23 games of the playoffs!

Connor McDavid is the NHL James Harden.

Both are very good at piling up stats. I like to call them "Stat Men" because they win stats categories and awards, but no rings.

Edmonton is a little bit short defensively and its not just because of the goalies. McDavid was responsible for the Tkachuk goal last night. He is a guy who can keep both teams in the game which, if nothing else, is exciting!

It was reported on WFAN this morning that Sam Bennett has a handshake with the Panthers in place to re-sign. He willl grant the Panthers a hometown discount and sigh for less than he might be offered on the open market, but: NO INCOME TAX IN FLORIDA- DUH!!!!!!!!!'

Why do you guys think no Canadian teams have won Stanley Cup since 1993? It will certainly continue until you elect some conservatives who stand up to the oppressive taxation!

It happens several times during the summer when, each players get to spend some times with family and friends to party with the cup.

Ça peut être intéressant ou bien un flop total! À $2M, les Jets ne risquent pas grand-chose.
