@RussoHockey @PierreVLeBrun Yes, if there’s one thing that tells you how well the playoff format is working, it’s your fans telling you how much they hate it. Bettman is the worst.

NHL GM meetings: Gary Bettman defiant about playoff format, goalie interference debate gets testy, playoff cap likely a non-issue, World Cup/Russia participation, Bettman supports Parros, Guerin and USA Hockey future, more by @PierreVLeBrun and me nytimes.com/athletic/71284…

@PennStateMHKY Can someone explain to me how McKenna can be the Freshman of the Year, yet Martone, a fellow freshman, somehow makes first-team over him?? Not to mention that McKenna was also the leading point scorer in the entire league.

The Wizard of Whitehorse 🧙‍♂️🏒🪄 Gavin McKenna named the 2025-26 #B1GHockey Freshman of the Year!! 😤 The rookie becomes Penn State's fourth major award winner all-time and the first-ever Freshman of the Year honoree‼️ #WeAre #HockeyValley

@HockeyHallFame Give Jack the puck, you dickheads

Olympians Aneta Tejralová (Czechia) and Alex Carpenter (USA) of PWHL Seattle Torrent helped unveil the Olympics ’26 Exhibit today. The display features artifacts from participating countries including the Golden Goal pucks from both the Women’s and Men’s overtime Gold Medal games.🏒

@BaseballCentraI Cocaine is a helluva drug.

This is just lame

@Fujipredator A) This team has not been a contender for 15 years. B) No one has said a rebuild should take 10 years. C) Having the patience for a true rebuild (which they’ve never done) does not mean that you can’t think some of the pieces they’ve chosen were terrible decisions.

Flyers fans: “We have the patience for a 10 year rebuild if it’s done right!” Same fans: “I’m out on Luchanko” after 2 years and only 19 years old

BREAKING: William Kelso Flournoy, a man pretending to be a woman, was arrested in WA state after he allegedly R*PED an infant girl. Why does this keep on happening?!

@ADiMarco25 @DailyFaceoff I think Thomas is a bit overrated. I’d love to have him, but not anywhere close to what St. Louis is asking for him. He’s not one of the top centers in the league, which is what they’re asking to be paid for him. He’s a low 1 or high 2 center.

The #Flyers need centers and the options are few and far between. I took around the league to find three possible outcomes. My latest for @DailyFaceoff. dailyfaceoff.com/news/which-cen…

@afern_alex @Angelo_Masso03 They could have had Caufield, Knight (goalie of the future), Boldy, or Harley. We get freaking Cam York.

@Angelo_Masso03 11th I believe originally

If only there was a good talent us fans were clamoring for at 14…

@EricEngels I would focus less on former players for the department, and more on smart people that can properly analyze an infraction and establish clear precedent for resulting suspensions.

NHL DoPS head George Parros responding to Connor McDavid's call for an examination of the suspension process: “We sweat over these decisions and pour over these decisions every night, all season long. We have a process in place that’s consistent, and we have a team that works for me, and together with me, that evaluates all these plays. A very experienced team, a veteran team. Guys that have been there since the beginning of the department. Not to mention all the former players that have a large set of experiences playing NHL games, accolades. Some of the best guys that have played the game work for this department help make decisions. So, our process, I feel very confident in. We’ve got great guys who make these decisions, and I think the players should be confident in this team to do so.”

@btc_stackatoshi @goalfarabee86 🤣

@CSOesq @goalfarabee86 You’re right. I’m sure Tocchet will bury him on his off side on the 3rd line

Not trading Owen Tippett would be a travesty He’s been a much better player this year, but his production is on par with each of his seasons with the Flyers You have a logjam at wing. Do the actual rebuilding thing and trade from the top of your depth chart

@NHL_Muse That scout gives me a whiff of a giant p*ssy.

Many NHL scouts contacted from The Athletic about Gavin McKenna’s past charges weren’t concerned. However, one said: “I guess with that [the previous alleged charges], the McGregor celebration, and zero detail in his game, I do have some whiff of immaturity or entitlement now.”

@btc_stackatoshi @goalfarabee86 I don’t think there is any chance that Martone plays above him as a rookie. It would also give us the slowest group of right wings in the league.

@CSOesq @goalfarabee86 Martone. TK. Michkov. Foerster Any 3 of those should play above Tippet

@OTFItsJustUs @YankeesFanEarl Actually, it does. That’s why they aren’t playing in the championship.

@YankeesFanEarl They clearly proved throughout the tournament they were the best team. A one run loss in one game doesn’t change that lol

I don’t understand this trend of athletes saying they were the better team after losing

@lawlornfl @BrandonGowton The issue is AJ doesn’t want to play with Hurts; he wants a better pure passer and someone who is better at reading defenses. AJ does not think Hurts is a good enough QB in both respects. AJ is trying to out pressure on the organization to trade him, without burning bridges.

Brian, you've got to use Occam's Razor here. The Eagles don't trade good players unless there is a reason. If anything, Howie's been guilty of keeping some guys too long. AJ and his agent must be pushing for a trade.

@mchads_ Picture clearly shows it crossed at his knees. Thats a strike in every rule book.

“Too close to take” is a myth! A ball is a ball!

@keksinysit @genesijesi @noahstrang_ Because they don’t want their family members over there getting killed, dumbass.

@genesijesi @noahstrang_ Russian players are ambassadors for their country. Hockey and hockey players have such a big place in that country. And if they don't live there, why doesn't anyone except Zadorov open their mouths?

Finland, Sweden, and Czechia have informed NHL they won’t participate in 2028 World Cup if Russia is involved per Robert Rampa below. #NHL #WorldCup

@btc_stackatoshi @goalfarabee86 Really?!?! Tell me one player ahead of him on next years depth chart from the current team and prospects.

@goalfarabee86 They need to move him before his no trade kicks in. He’ll be 4th on the depth chart at RW next year

@goalfarabee86 @PeterHGaunt @JohnWhi18218460 I think he gets better with a competent center.

@PeterHGaunt @JohnWhi18218460 That “dimension they don’t have” is a 27 year old 50 point forward who won’t get any better

@goalfarabee86 I disagree. His combo of speed, size, creativity, and his shot are too good to trade. The wings of the future should be Tippett, Michkov, Zegras, Martone, Foerster, and Bump. If Zegras moves to C, then you can keep another. No one else brings what Tippett brings to the table, IMO
