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

Kings look good but what's the point in being as good as the Kings in the western conference

[practice]

Morrissey is such a good player

[practice]

Well that was a great game and third period. Kings Jerks I mean

Josh Norris out longterm after a non-contact injury taking a faceoff in their last game. Who could’ve seen this coming?

Hutson gets 8.85 x 8

Wild PP going hard this year

Leafs looked pretty good yesterday at least, trade an undeserved win vs Montreal for that loss and 1-2 seems fair enough. Cowan was promising. Carlo is a disaster, I cannot believe the haul we gave up for him.

Stuart Skinner, it's time to be good

Cowan looks pretty good. I still hate the Leafs defence but I kinda like Maccialli so far. also it's so fuckin sick that Knies was a 2nd round pick. he's like the only good thing that has happened to the team in 5+ years

[practice]

I love the new fantrax roster page which reminds me every day that 2026 USA olympic team lock Matthew Knies is but a year or two older than hot shot prospects such as Andrew Cristall or dud total bust prospects like Dave Reinbacher or 'mid' prospects like Fraser Minten

Monday’s Athletic hockey podcast has Lazerus and Rossi, two of the worst Wings haters alive. Barf

I finally quit renewing my Athletic subscription. Just very little of interest to me lately other than the usual prospect rankings, etc.

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Bultman / Pronman / Wheeler are enough for me but Detroit has better coverage than a lot of teams.

Habs fans are too committed to dragging Pronman for underrating Hutson to ever quit.

More importantly, he did it for me

I finally quit renewing my Athletic subscription. Just very little of interest to me lately other than the usual prospect rankings, etc.

I got rid of it and then NYT gave me a super cheap cooking/games/athletic subscription, I think it's $2 a month or something absurd - so I kept it around

best thing to do is go ahead and cancel and see what offer they give you

[nick]

Thanks for flagging this; I took a look and saw I'd been hit with my annual $40 charge each February even though we've got a family NYT account. I've cancelled the Athletic billing and all seems fine with just the NYT access

[captain]

I was double paying briefly and they actually refunded me on part of my subscription that was doubled so it doesn't hurt to ask

What the hell are those Sens jerseys
