Das 2025-2026 NHL Regular Season Thread: If Connor McDavid were a real team player, he’d sign for the league minimum

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Now Czechia gets the go-ahead goal with 1:14 left and a Canadian kid is sobbing in the stands

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Kicking motion?

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Goal stands

Reschny just plowed over the Czechia goalie and cannot believe he got for interference

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Reschny wants another penalty, dude is having a fit

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Reschny swearing at the refs as he leaves the box, Martone went after someone after the goal

McKenna gets an abuse of official penalty and a misconduct

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Cole Reschny was the Canadian player of the game

LOLOLOL

[practice]

I cannot be mad about a version of hockey where obvious penalties are called even late in close games. 2 years running. Seemed like the Czechs earned the win in any case. I would have loved to have watched

[Grand Moff Larkin]

I didn't think I got NHL Network (which carries it in the States) but I realized the game was available when the third period started.

Czechs deserved the game, they were getting through to the net on a regular basis.

Reschny got two goals including the one to tie it 3-3 so he deserved player of the game for that, but I cannot understate how much of a pissbaby he was being over the goalie interference call. There was a little shove from the defenseman, but Reschny launched himself into the goalie's head. They're gonna call that! When they showed him screaming at the ref it was like "Bro. BRO." It was mostly funny for him to have to act calm and appreciative when they honored him post-game.

Misa was an absolute mess in the final few minutes.

I don't think McKenna was that bad but I wonder what being the first CHL to actual paid 5 star NCAA recruit did to the guy's brain and personality. He's from Whitehorse or something right? From there to Medicine Hat to the paradise city of Penn College St

Is there a site that has wjc time on ice stats? I watched Sweden Finland and the Leafs guy Johansson hardly played at all. Both teams seemed to use 4 dmen for most the game. I wondered if Canada spread their ice time out more on D

[Grand Moff Larkin]

I saw a comment on The Athletic that bemoaned how Canada spread out their ice time on D but no one was very good

3.5 year old watching the SNES-Wangs warmup, when they showed Stutzle: "I like that boy! He has no hair" so my hopes were high but then when they interviewed Mo Sieder she was like. "Oh, wow, I like him. I LOVE him"

Team allegiance unknown

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Hm would a Seider jersey secure his allegiance?

[sutterfamily]

She's a girl, you're off to a bad start. Which is fine with me, I need help indoctrinating them!

[sutterfamily]

Then again, they might be better off not cheering for Ottawa.

[sutterfamily]

Indict Todd MacLellan for not giving the the opportunity to see the SNES play AGAINT Travis Hamonic

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Boy stuck out to me, sorry suttergirly

[sutterfamily]

She's gone to bed but you're all good

Love the Prime broadcast

[sutterfamily]

weird call

[Grand Moff Larkin]

They’re going to call that every time, Brady was moving his feet and Kasper did a dumb reach
