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

Laine out 3-4 months with a core injury

Can’t imagine they’ll miss him much

Wild stink confirmed

Mammoth good?

I should probably make a separate thread for hockey-specific sexual assault cases

Ryan Kesler, a retired NHL center, has been charged with two misdemeanor counts of criminal sexual conduct in the fourth degree, according to court records.

The PNES being 7-2 is pretty funny

More reasons to hate this jerk!

as we all expected

I’m mostly surprised that the BLOT have started off so shitty.

The Leaves and Panth are believably middling. The Broons have sifted back down. The Sabres always have hot stretches.

Pretty amazing how little separation there is, point-wise, all things considered.

Having all the teams play on the same day is such a silly, NHL-only thing

There’s one game tomorrow

The BLOT have a player named Charle-Edouard D'Astous

Three Musketeers ass name

Logan Cooley 8 years @ $10 per

I like that one more, to be honest. Seems like he's going to keep getting better.

I don't know if Harley will have another jump -- could top out at 50 points a year. Which is solid and obviously I'd love for the Wings to have him, but his number seemed a touch high.

Brad Marchand is stepping away from the Florida Panthers to go behind the bench Wednesday night for a friend whose daughter died.

Marchand took a leave of absence from the Panthers earlier this week to travel to his hometown of Halifax in support of local coach and trainer JP MacCallum, whose 10-year-old daughter Selah died last Friday after a year-long battle with cancer.

Martin Necas gets 11.5 x 8 from Colorado

Seems like a lot!

[Cacophony]

Yeahhhhh

[Grand Moff Larkin]

He’s definitely younger than Rantanen but it’s hard to say he’s as good, and this is basically the contract they moved Rantanen to avoid signing.

Wild lost again to the mighty PEEN. Booed off the ice at home.

BG’s hits keep coming!

The Atlantic Division is so dumb, the BLOT were at the bottom briefly but now they're third

Florida, Toronto, and Buffalo are tied with 13 points

The only teams with winning road records are Montreal, Detroit, and Tampa

[Grand Moff Larkin]

I wondered if the Metro was any less stupid. Nope! Three teams have identical 6-5-1 records for the bottom of that division: Isles, Caps, and Flyers. Six teams in the Eastern Conference have 14 points.
