Surely not

At long last, some reporting on the hitherto unreported lives of the Tkachuks

[Penguins beat writer voice] The Trouba-like Swiss fans dangerously threw two cups on the ice but Sid, of course, already has three Cups

Sadly for (a prominent part of) Canada, a missed penalty call on Sam Bennett completely invalidates the success of his team from that point on, based on their own precedent

12 years ago, Celebrini was 12 years younger than he is now. Insane.

“Defending best-on-best champion” is absolutely not a thing

The correct position for this and every (Winter) Olympics is that any event that is ranked solely by judges is not a sport

The #classymove project: Quinn Season 2 (19/20) Still slim pickings with a mostly homegrown roster DQ had a classy move opportunity in 27 of 70 regular season games and seized it in 9 of those games His Classy Move % (players started / maximum number of players possible) was 26.5%

The #classymove project: Quinn Season 3 (20/21) The strictly divisional schedule played havoc here, with Johnson, Strome and Rooney the only classy move-eligible players all season

I too cannot stand obvious statements that have been jammed down our throats being expressed as some sort of insight

The highly successful strategy first pioneered by the 2025/26 New York Rangers

Just think how entertaining the Kraken-Bruins Stanley Cup Final in a few months is going to be

You don’t have to like Bill Guerin’s decision to watch the Turning Point alternative halftime show with his entire roster in the Olympic village canteen at 2:15am to respect his guts in making it

NYR (157) 30 Edström 27 Fox 25 Rempe 15 Sheary 14 Trocheck 13 Shesterkin 9 Miller 7 Borgen 6 Quick 4 Soucy 3 Laba 2 Vaakanainen 1 Panarin Perreault SOIR: Scanlin

If you thought the Leafs being rather bad would quell the annual “What Would A Different Playoff System That Stops Being Unfair To The Leafs Specifically Look Like?” discourse, think again thehockeynews.com/nhl/toronto-...

There’s a clip of Panarin’s media availability on 32T and I think it might be the first time I’ve heard him speak

Nothing the Rangers like more than the off-target empty net breakout pass into a player standing still in the neutral zone with a man on him

Not suggesting it’s an even game in any sense but Carolina not dispelling the shot spammer allegations here

Rempe unable to use his gimpy thumb to hold up Svechnikov there

Let me be the first to say classy move by Hiller starting Panarin against his former team in 39 days’ time

Forget the centennial stuff, the games at MSG the rest of the year will be torture anyway, so just do an Remembering Some Guys parade at every one of them

Skapski or we riot

Did the men’s hockey team pull out?

Vincent Iorio set to join Nicolas Aubé-Kubel and Alex Auld as the only Rangers with two vowels at the start of their surname since Lockout II (Non-exhaustive shoutout to Dallas Eakins and Mike Eastwood who miss that arbitrary cut line)

Not so ridiculous if you’re collecting those assets to rent Andrew Copp again for next year’s playoff push

Need to see if it was a Logan Couture-type situation before I rush to judgment on Gavin McKenna

Immensely looking forward to the slow transition from “Trocheck will/should get a much bigger return because he’s signed for 3 more years” to “better offers for Trocheck didn’t materialise because teams didn’t want term”

Drury’s not going to let 10 minutes of obvious scrambling to tell reporters he had no leverage ruin his National Stuffed Mushroom Day

Not aimed at Sean but it’ll be funny if/when the big dog Hockey Insiders get pissy about an agency tipping off somebody as a favour just because it’s a non-hockey person getting tipped off

When your franchise repeatedly flubs first round picks and doesn’t develop young players, it’s actually a smart move by your GM to get as few of those as possible in return when making a big trade

Hold up in the Panarin deal believed to be down to the Lightning needing to sign Libor Hájek first

Multiple depressing things here

As well as decades seventy-twenty

Bowman and Briere putting aggressive bids in already

What Will Our Next Paid For Promo Article Look Like?

Might quibble very slightly with “battled”, “until” and “end” but a fair summary otherwise

[Routine and virtually uncontested empty netter] “WHAT. A. DRAFT. PICK.”

How does what next year’s Leafs roster could look like affect the Leafs?

Classy move by Roy

The #classymove project: Gallant Season 1 (21/22) Turk had a classy move opportunity in 45 of 82 regular season games and seized it in 12 of those games His Classy Move % (players started / maximum number of players possible) was 25%

The #classymove project: Gallant Season 2 (22/23) Turk had a classy move opportunity in only 39 of 82 regular season games and seized it in 14 of those games His Classy Move % (players started / maximum number of players possible) was 27.8% - the highest we've seen so far

Mashing the buzzer to answer the question quickly

Tony DeAngelo: Denied by the post (Title of his self-published book and podcast series about the 2020 election)

Gorton and Davidson were fired only a few days (and a horrifying act of violence) after back to back shutout losses to the Islanders, so Zibanejad just saved Drury’s job, I guess

Uh oh, Maloney just referred to Jim Ramsay on air

Much the same as last time Panarin was about to change teams, he won't be playing in games involving the Islanders

Hockey Insiders looking at acquiring Carson Soucy and the remains of Ondřej Palát for “not much” like a caveman discovering fire
