Deep dive on the 2026 game of Goalie Musical Chairs yesterday with @KevinisInGoal on @victoryplustv. Top to bottom: Teams in the market, Trade Targets 🎯, Free Agents and up-and-comers ready for more. #NHLBruins Michael DiPietro 👀 Full episode: youtube.com/live/WPpctOioc…

Not sure it will matter who is in goal if these defensive metrics from Game 3 don’t improve significantly for Sabres

Defense optional in Montreal last night? 👀 at the @csahockey numbers

Hockey Hall of Fame should be the next stop … just need voters to stop thinking of goalie coaches as “just another assistant” and recognize some truly changed the position, how it’s taught, and in doing so, how the game is played in front of them

Talking hockey with Punch McLean was 1 of of things I will never forget. The mayor of Queens Park has sadly passed away. No one loved hockey more the Punch. It was in his blood. RIP Punch New Westminster will never forget you.

If you’re not familiar with the tale of Vancouver hockey legend Ernie “Punch” McLean, this CBC article on him narrowly surviving a 4 day/5 night ordeal in the bush while in his mid-70s is an absolute must read. The don’t make ‘em like Punch anymore. RIP: cbc.ca/news/canada/br…

Scott Wedgewood lifted SCup with Tampa but never got his name on it. Former journeyman is now 6-0 as PO starter for Avalanche. “It shouldn't be me (starting), just based on my career. But I have been working for it. And I'll do everything I can.” sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/lo…

During the pandemic, Scott Wedgewood wondered if he was going to have to go overseas to keep his career going. Six years later, he’s starting on the Stanley Cup favorite. Here’s how he got there and why his personality has made him a fan favorite ⬇️ nytimes.com/athletic/72593…

Very enjoyable event to kickoff our campaign to honour Ernie “Punch” McLean. Thanks to all the speakers & those who attended. Let’s get this statue approved & made soon! Thanks to @keywestford for your support. zeffy.com/en-CA/donation… PunchLegacy.com

My column on the work Canadiens goalie Jakub Dobes has done on mental side of the game with help from mental coach Pete Fry @PeteFry_Mindset and goalie coach Marco Marciano really paying off in first-round playoff victory over Tampa Bay Lightning #Habs: montrealgazette.com/sports/hockey/…

it’s always great to see Punch in the press box at #Canucks games. Absolute legend still going strong at 93. Sign the petition and help if you can

Vasilevskiy’s expected SV% going into Game 7 was .872, per @csahockey and he’d outperformed it by 5th best margin, behind Andersen, Ullmark, Lyon + Wedgewood

The just-announced Vezina Trophy Finalists finished second, seventh + 11th in Goals Saved Above Expected per @csahockey this season. So did the NHL general managers who vote on the award get it wrong? Maybe not. Story coming at @InGoalMedia looks at why this was a tough vote 🤔

@amato_mike @NHLdotcom Thanks Michael

@KevinisInGoal @NHLdotcom Great stuff, Kevin.

Spent little over 60 hours watching video on 16 goalies expected to start Stanley Cup Playoffs to come up with scoring trends, goal charts and perhaps some tendencies that might get targeted Below is a link to Montreal-Tampa sample Rest at @NHLdotcom nhl.com/news/andrei-va…

@ArponBasu 🙏 thanks Arpon

Every year, excellent stuff from Woodley

Thanks to modern printing technology, goalies can create personal and meaningful imagery on their gear. A recent and very poignant example is Linus Ullmark. For many years @Icebeardude has worn custom @BauerHockey gear with imagery of cracks across the surface. Several months ago, Ullmark updated the color of the cracks from dark to gold. This is a reference to Kintsugi (“golden joinery”), the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with lacquer mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum, highlighting rather than hiding cracks. Ullmark told us he wanted to change the graphic and make reference to Kintsugi to reflect “the struggles that I’ve been through that now have started to heal.”

I am a huge fan of the hype video as you all know. To be a part in one is an honor. Enjoy Flyers Fans.
