The NHL having an empty slate on a Friday night three nights into the new season is so fucking classic hockey

Calgary must be thrilled with their decision to throw Dustin Wolf out there between last night’s shootout win and their home opener Saturday

Me looking round the bar to see who said the word “shutout”

Chytil really is that bitch

That feels like some sort of weird reverse karma that Chytil scored that way

New from the "longest-running" & "best-mediocre" #Canucks #podcast, @aforsyth03.bsky.social & @lyteforce.ca just published their latest episode, "With Preseason, Yeah Canucks 8." Have a listen:

Chris let me put Gen-Z slang in the episode title even though he doesn’t understand it, which was very brave of him.

Cootes’ dream camp and preseason continues. With a goal off an opposing player’s skate

Lol of course it’s Räty, preseason is weird man

I’m not even kidding I thought Beth Page Black was a person

Start as you mean to go on I guess

*Exciting moment in the game happens* Sportsnet director: real quick lemme jump to a super weird camera angle to keep everyone on their toes

Who else was victimized when Dave Tomlinson said “it’s get dirty time”?

They’re playing Unwritten in Rogers, the girls are going to be okay

Petey used those extra 6lbs of hockey butt to screen on that goal.

A propos of nothing, do you ever listen to people to talk and wonder if they’re learning English in real time?

Sportsnet completely mangling the supremely quotable “play for the name on the front of the jersey and they’ll remember the name on the back” for their Blue Jays ad. Tony Adams put it on a plate for you

PO Joseph seems like a lovely guy but every time I see the #7 I sigh and remember this guy

Very cool moment for Cootes

It’s cute in a way where we have this rivalry with Seattle where they can beat us even when they aren’t good but at some point you want to be like, they just got here, come the fuck on, Vancouver

Hot Damn the amount of mayo Shorty put on Willander’s name. Here’s to many seasons of hearing that, what a treat

Landon Ferraro just used seamin’ as a verb. And yes he dropped the G. Why? What did you think he said? Get your mind out of the gutter.

Pre-season doesn’t really matter but a confidence bump for a player who has struggled so much last year has got to be a good thing

I’m still sore from Pilates two days ago, that Demko save made me wince.

Would’ve been nice to hear the pregame Indigenous ceremony on the broadcast considering we are not actually getting a regular season Truth & Reconciliation game

This episode went from Tollopilo to Ty Young real quick when my laptop battery died (just kidding Ty). Luckily Chris is an excellent closer.

Brainrot stage: Every time @batchhockey.bsky.social says Kokko, in my head I then hear “when mommy says stop, you have to say okay mommy”

I mean I fully forgot about Baby Stillman before this but that was nice

Penalty shot, as a treat

Canucks finally score after what feels like years of PP time. Mancini says remember me

Be prepared for a lot of this as Canucks work out their new defence style

One final summer episode of the podcast before we have looked in the whites of the players’ eyes (that’s what everyone does at The Jake, right?)

No pressure but this has to be their year.

I’m sure to forget about fantasy football in a few weeks but absolutely buzzing with Triple Captaining Raya… forget about the fact I missed the first week by submitting late 😂

Really shows the value of investing in a goalie. Take note Man United and Edmonton Oilers…

Fantasy football team name time

Things are heating up in the summer slowdown as we wonder if 50 Shades of Grey would’ve been better received if they cast local hockey player Dakota Joshua opposite Jamie Dornan

Talking about religion in Irish? Should be simple enough!

Can confirm this is not true

Fuck hockey culture

At the Canadians’ country night and can’t help but feel they’ve missed a trick by not referring to Carter Cunningham as Cowboy Carter

Just in case you thought you could get a moment’s peace as a female hockey fan

Brock is still a Canuck and other wheels and deals from Free Agency

Watching county championship cricket as NHL free agent frenzy goes on is very funny to me. Like yes millions of dollars are being thrown around but Middlesex are winning their third game of the season by an innings and 127 runs.

I really enjoy seeing all the reactions to deals today, my favourite is the “I personally love this guy but he objectively sucks and everyone hates him, why did my team sign this deal?”

Love listening to male hockey podcasters debate the Kane trade where the only mention of his long history of abuse allegations is “he behaved himself in Edmonton” It’s such fun being a female hockey fan 🤢

We recorded this episode last night before the Evander Kane trade so it isn’t just a serious of bleeps
