Good news for any soldiers younger than 25

Misdirection by the league already in CBA talks

Sam might say Edström instead of Endström once before he retires

Tremendous family ranking through 13 minutes: 1. Tkachuks ↔️ 2. Sandersons ⬆️ 3. Greigs ↔️

Classy move by Lavi starting Zibanejad against his former team

Pretty ridiculous holding hockey games in a place with weather like this, if you ask me

Since the NHL relaunched the overseas games in 2017/18, after this week there will have been 13 different matchups (across 20 games). The Stars-Panthers games will be only the second time two playoff teams from the previous year have met (after the Leafs-Wild one-off last year).

every time I see a Canadiens highlight it's like "Lane Hutson is redefining the game of hockey with his spectacular edge work and did a zone entry that hasn't been done since Swishy Laduc of the 1931 Montreal Maroons, as the Kraken defeated the Canadiens 11-4"

ESPN should try the cutting the mics thing during intermissions too

Jakob Chychrun (listeria) not on the Capitals’ bench

Was mentioned on a recent 32 Thoughts that the two players with most career games played without taking a shootout attempt are Ryan Suter (1,453) and Jordan Staal (1,260). Thought I'd look at how many shootouts and attempts that actually translates to for each...🧵

Sam and Joe going through an extravagant range of ways to say the name of the country Chytil and Dostál are from

One of two for Coots after one #coots #news #cootnothing #cootingpercentage

“Off to a hot start, Joe, and armed with a new contract! is Alexis Lafrenière, Joe!” “You know what, Sam, we talked to Chris Drury, he said don’t say you heard from me but that fragile young kid is apparently spending his summer pounding beers and playing slo-pitch softball…”

Drury’s not going to let Friday afternoon Lafrenière contract leakage ruin his National Breadstick Day

“A.J. Greer, Joe, no relation to one-time Ranger, P.J. Stock”

Warms up “Shesterkin thinks he’s $2m a year better than this guy?!” take

“Tremendously large family, Sam”

Welcome back, Mikko Mäkelä

Coots is minus-2 #coots #news #minustoots

If you’re watching more than one game at a time, you’re not watching any games

Kakko on pace for the most PIMS by a Ranger in a season since Brandon Prust’s 156 in 2011/12

“Coach, anything complimentary about the Canadiens?” “They remind me of Detroit.”

Early distribution of TOI in each score state (sorted by leading %, league rank in points % by the team name) No 2+ lead: NSH (EDM: only 36 seconds after an empty netter) No deficit at all: MIN (but have lost in OT and SO) No 2+ deficit: DAL MIN

Very early summary of team records beyond 60 minutes

I reckon Education’s goaltending might extend the series to 7 but can’t really argue with this

Panarin should’ve Ridly Greig’d it there

Tremendously otherwise engaged family, Sam

Coots milestone news #coots #news #c800ts

This is where I think “must be decades since the Rangers dressed 5 RHD in a game” and look it up to find it was in February 2023 or something

Last two games still inadequate vengeance for this

Using a split screen during play to show Yzerman looking at his phone is the type of innovation hockey coverage has been lacking for years

Nice goal but I want to see Reilly Smith play as a third pair D for at least half a season before judging him

Cale Makar *not* enjoying this period

“Tremendous meatballs, Sam”

Holding penalty on a goalie must be pretty rare

“Those weren’t boos, Joe, they were no mooooovement clauses.”

Hope everyone is ready for the intros

Welcome to the 24/25 season, Coots News #coots #news #stopped

Pens fans have all rushed home to hear the last three minutes of the Olczyk first goal anecdote

I’m pretty liberal with most hockey customs but a forward wearing #2 would send me full Lamoriello

First Zibinnijad of the season from Edzo

“In the lineup, Joe, for his NHL debut! a big night, Joe, is Victor Mancini!” “You know what, Sam, we talked to Chris Drury, he said six fouuur two twenty pounds, you know, Michigan kid, got good siiize but skates and showed he can shootit, Sam! Tremendous family…”

Is this far early to get up to watch the New Jersey Devils? Who can really say?

Climate change or everybody spilling Cam Neely’s water?

You sometimes forget just how much organisational depth the Sharks had not that long ago

Perfect description of his moustache tbf

Counterpoint: Joe saying he is a “kid with good size” puts him in the same class as every player in the whole league

Holy mama talk about beefing up a front office that has two-time Stanley Cup champion Dean Lombardi’s fingerprints all over it
