Thee Official 2026-2027 NHL Season Thread: What? Fuck? It Started?

[practice]

I cannot be called objective on this but it looks to me like he injured himself trying to sell a high stick with a Stutzle snapback to 360

[neuartillery]

I’m more concerned about the Panth somehow lucking into another top-ten pick and then trading it for Simon Edvinsson or someone comparable than I was about them bullying the Eastern Conference in the playoffs.

[sutterfamily]

It's hard to judge the SNES without both Sanderson and Zub, with Ersson in net, and on the second night of a back to back. But it feels like they still need another impact forward.

I mean, that's what I said! I think this is undoubtably true if they wanna do anything in the playoffs (and maybe even make them comfortably instead of scraping in)

[neuartillery]

It’s the thread we’re using

[neuartillery]

Romanov is out 6-8 months with a torn ACL. I didn’t think the Isles would be good anyway but that definitely won’t help.

[neuartillery]

Broons have 6 goals on 16 shots against the Mammoth, chased Cossa after 3 in 15:51. Oof

[sutterfamily]

Eklund left the SNES game with what looked like a potentially very bad knee injury

[sutterfamily]

Ullmark is bringing it this year, at least.

[Alexei Ca$hin]

Is this a set play? Or just pure magic?

[sutterfamily]

William Eklund suffered an ankle injury and will be out for an extended period of time.

“I don’t know exactly how long,” Travis Green said.

Green says he doesn’t think Eklund will require surgery & will be back sometime in the regular season

Haha, honestly, can something like this happen to Montreal or something for once?

[neuartillery]

Demidov is out for 2-4 weeks

I was curious if Eklund missed time in SJ but he's done 80 / 77 / 78 over the last three years

[neuartillery]

I'm surprised Marchand's only out six weeks

[sutterfamily]

2-4 weeks is shitty but kind of normal stuff - you aren't going to get through a season with out some injuries of that level. Sounds like Eklund is more like 2-4 months.

Also, they have way better offensive depth than Ottawa (I hate it, but extremely true).

[practice]

Leafs D is pitiful imagine that

[neuartillery]

Shesterkin done for the year

The Rags looked pretty good to start the year — amazing what getting a second pair does for your team defense — but this makes me think Bettman’s going to weight balls so they get Dupont

[Alexei Ca$hin]

I just looked up who the backup is in NYR because I honestly had no clue. I probably would have guessed Jonathan Quick!

[neuartillery]

Garand played against the Wings and got a shutout, but I wouldn't necessarily say he looked good. Still going to bid on him in fantasy though!

[practice]

Minten looks great, it's torture

[practice]

Head coaches should be allowed to wear hats or helmets. The sharks coach should be allowed to anyway

[practice]

You know who sucks is Alex Wennberg
