Mitch Marner says he and his wife were talking with the Vegas guys/wives during the 4 Nations about what Vegas was like.

Toronto's best chance at a cup and bro had a foot out the door. Can't make this up. RIP @TorontoGold
Not going to matter. I saw a list yesterday of the guys Fla has locked up for the next 6 yrs and it’s filthy. They’ll be hoisting a bunch of cups I suspect.

Their stars except for Tkachuk are aging out of their primes and carrying pretty big cap hits. Jones/Ekblad aren’t the play drivers they used to be, if they start falling off the defense could be in trouble.

Who the fuck cares though, they just won and still have a dope team.

Florida has played A LOT of games the last three years. I wouldn’t be surprised to see them hit a wall this year and be an early knock out.

Great player, but just an awful teammate. Bro hit up all the student bars and hung out with some of my friends who were mutuals with him since they grew up in the same area. Lived like he was still in juniors. Unsurprising that he wanted to leave as soon as he was counted on to be a big boy.
I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often.

I think going the NCAA route would do some of these guys a lot of good. Get some of that lifestyle out of their system before they go to the show.

Going back to back in the cap era is no easy feat. Have to give the Panthers their flowers. It's a big accomplishment
Scary thing is with their cap navigation, resigning Bennett, Eckblad, and the rat...I dont think they're done

McGroarty and Koivunen both could get enough line time to make a run at the Calder,… obviously a homer take but not an insane one.

All I know is that my Redwings will suck again. 😔
I’m half hoping for the worst season my pens have had since Mario still playing,… I don’t even care, I want to watch some hockey. I’m already kind of over football and baseball

Same with the Hawks....I did get tickets for the Hawks/Wings game in November in Detroit. Daughter wants to see Kaner play. Amazing how much cheaper tickets were in Detroit over Chicago. Nosebleeds were gonna be over 200 ea at the UC....paid 120 ea for 11th row off the ice at Little Ceasars

Yeah sometimes you can get them a little cheaper than that yet. Be nice if they were good again though.

Ok so here’s a reason why I’m ready for hockey,… Just now one of Fox’s team went on about how Oregon may be good enough to contend for a natty……….. they’ve been good enough to be in that ‘contender’ group for a decade plus and that’s your top end expert commentary?? Anyway, I’m having trouble articulating this properly but I’m just over the everyone has thoughts on football and most of those thoughts are, ‘Ohio State has silver helmets’. Yeah, I’m ready for hockey.

Hawks will still be bottom five in the standings, but the games will be exciting because the kids are starting to trickle in.
The final 12 games last season were like night and day compared to the previous 70.

Stand by my Rinzel for Calder sleeper pick. The hype from the media and podcasters watching practice is through the roof.

Still amazed that Connor McDavid signed for 12.5 mil a year for 2 years.

Not just Mcdavid. Echel and Connor took less too.

Maybe the Wild messed up with Kraprizov? It's gonna look really bad if his injuries continue.

Love these Pens third jerseys, I’ll have to get one. Team looks better this far too

Brutal for the Sharks. Knights look sharp so far. Goaltending has to clean up a bit but I think they can make a deep run again this year.
