Thee Official 2026-2027 NHL Season Thread: Bwady’s a Big Boy Who Wants His Bwanket

Who is Crotty?

[sutterfamily]

The SNES like... #8 dman. He's not good but can eat some minutes on the bottom pair but won't do anything beyond that and I don't think he even does that particularly well.

[sutterfamily]

Unsure how to feel about the SNES OT loss. Good: they came back from 5-1 in the third. Good: they got a point. Bad: the fucking backup goaltending is still a disaster.

Well... the KANGS made them look like an AHL team for most of the game. I think they got one shot on net over a 30+ minute stretch, including the entire 2nd period. So not good at all despite salvaging a point against a terrible team.

Also, look at this fucking idiot

[sutterfamily]

Gross! I didn't watch this game btw

[neuartillery]

I'm shocked that guy has played 24 NHL games because I've never heard of him before

Less shocked that he played for six different ECHL teams before making it to the Flyers.

I watched the youtube highlights of the SNES game and I my reaction to seeing the hit 'live' was surprise that they included itm as I thought it would leave a Kris Draper type of result. but then I figured they wouldn't be showing it in the official highlights if that were the result. what an insanely dangerous play.

Clarke having to wear a half-shield probably saved him from having to connect with Draper's surgeon

[hotnickelsyo]

Kucherov saw what was going on around the league and decided he wants that for him also, requests a trade.
Sheeeeeesh.

[neuartillery]

Pretty funny

[sutterfamily]

Not as funny as the guy in the SNES subreddit who saw that and thought he would go to Ottawa

SNES play their fourth "second half of a back-to-back against a rested team" today. Is that not kinda fucked? That's literally 25% of the games they will have played so far.

Matthew Wood traded from Nashville to Seattle for Shane Wright

I feel like Nashville got the better of the deal due to positional value but I don’t know Wood’s stats off the top of my head

[sutterfamily]

Anaheim seems kinda bad

[sutterfamily]

At the very least, their goalies are way to shitty for how bad the team is defensively.

[neuartillery]

Anaheim seems kinda bad

They changed at least half of their blueline, right? Trouba, Zellweger, and Gudas out. LaCombe’s great and Luneau seems like he was worth his contract, but Mintyukov needed a change of scenery instead of a huge deal.

[neuartillery]

I just saw how bad the JERTS have been lately

Viggo has 0 points in 14 games. Not ideal!

I would never ever watch a Seattle Kraken game but I was kind of into the idea of the Leafs quote buying low on Shane Wright. If Carolina or Dallas or a team like that traded for him I would have been sad to miss out. Nashville doing it all but confirms for me that he sucks and will continue to forever.
