2026 NHL Draft Rankings: November top 50

With the MAF PTO as the blueprint, the Penguins should do the same with Jaromir Jagr, no?

Sid said he's entering this season with an "open mind" about the Penguins' chances, but has acknowledged the rumors about his future are now unavoidable. More here: www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/...

This is not going to get any quieter.

Lane Hutson is just future considerations for Brett Hull - Canada

The CHL announces Guelph and Kitchener have been named finalists to host the 2027 Memorial Cup. Kingston and Niagara had also applied.

RIP Mark Kirton. Kirton was diagnosed in 2018 with ALS. He fought, educated & inspired. Here's a clip of legends Bruce Martyn & Sid Abel talking about the "good little hockey player" the Wings got in the Rutherford deal. Now the league upstairs gets a great human being. RIP.🙏 Kirton was 67.

2025 Hlinka Gretzky Cup: Scouting reports on over 90 NHL Draft prospects

This video from Fairmount Bagels in Montreal from their Instagram is the most impressive thing I've ever seen

CHL Update - Sounds like the Guelph Storm, Kingston Frontenacs, Kitchener Rangers and Niagara IceDogs will be the teams bidding to host the 2027 Memorial Cup.

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

These Carlin live shows are can't-miss for fans of his podcast or just fans of a great conversation.

Matthew Tkachuk tells ESPN that he remains "undecided" about undergoing surgery before the 2025-26 season but acknowledged the possibility that he'll miss "the first two or maybe three months" for the Florida Panthers if he goes under the knife. #NHL

I got 99 problems but the shots…..

OHL News - expect an announcement on the sale of the Sarnia Sting to Ryan Finch (of Finch Auto Group) and former Newport Sports agent Mark Guy. Current co-owner of the Sting David Legwand will retain a piece of the franchise.

Looks like we'll get another edition of Florida Panthers players shooting plastic rats at Brad Marchand in celebration. My story on one of the NHL's oddest new playoff traditions: www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/...

Mark Scheifele's father, Brad, died last night. They just found out this morning. Jets coach Scott Arniel has gone back to the hotel to talk to Scheifele. His status for tonight is, obviously, uncertain.

Yup, I’ll eat it. I did NOT think the Leafs had that game in them (again, @Burkie2020 was right and yes, I got the gloating text). Game 7’a are always jump ball so let’s see what happens. Biggest winner last night after the Leafs - the Hurricanes.

“If you had Ovi in an All-Star Game and in a skills competition, he could fill like 4 or 5 events” Patrick Burke on what makes Alex Ovechkin so special and the legacy he has on and off the ice

I LOVE this idea

Robert Thomas (of course) in OT and the Blues have now won 11 in a row.

Plenty of coach talk plus if you’ve ever wondered who the first player FROM Michigan to hit the Michigan was the answer is in the blog. www.dailyfaceoff.com/news/sheet-b...

Anyone who’s known me for more than 2 minutes knows the answer to this. ‘Hello out there, we’re on the air….’

I marvel at how Jim Henson’s brain worked. This film was a presentation piece to the executives at CBS when he was trying to get them, ultimately unsuccessfully, to pick up The Muppet Show... But if you’re a TV exec sitting in a boardroom watching this, there’s no way it’s not leaving an impression.

Find me a better name for an official? (At the OHL Cup)

New MvsW, in which @jeffmarek.bsky.social and I discuss how Ovechkin should break Gretzky record, who deserves NHL GM of the year, goalie interference controversies, Chychrun living without lightbulbs and whether we could survive as farmers (with weed). Enjoy! www.youtube.com/live/xd05Wgv...

QMJHL News - The Saint John Sea Dogs have signed defenceman Cameron Chartrand. Expect an official announcement tomorrow. Chartrand is a prospect for the '26 NHL draft and is still committed to Boston College for the 27/28 season.

‘It was determined that we have a goal’ So simple and perfect.
