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

I came up with the dumbest possible result for the draft lottery: Toronto is in line for the fifth pick, but Detroit’s pick moves up, giving St. Louis the 5th pick and Boston the 6th pick. I apologize in advance for this happening.

Lol. Amazing scenario

Habs-Lightning is going to be great. TB tried to just push them around the last couple times and they were surprising able to stand up to it. Wildly entertaining games.

My kid (who is now 18 and legal in QC, if you weren't already feeling old) and his buds all got tickets to the outdoor viewing parties for round 1.

I like the Habs to win that one - BLOT finished the season 12-10-2 and kinda meh. But they are grizzled, I guess, and could play against montreal's relative inexperience.

Love to see the Leafs suffer BUT if we it's possible to avoid sending Boston #6 overall pick then I gotta go with that scenario. They don't need more help.

So SNES/Canes. I think I'll take it, hope it's a good series!

I’m not saying I like it either, Broons falling apart enough to get Hagens last year feels like enough of a gift

I hope I don't regret saying it out loud, but I like this matchup a lot. And I'm one of those guys that picks the Canes to go to the Final every year

Ha shit, is Goilers vs Kangs about to happen AGAIN?
