I wrote an article on whether Ottawa Senators's strengths align with Carolina Hurricanes weaknesses and whether that might be the difference in their first round matchup.

@nevpereira Not wrong but I'll generalize it to just not having enough puck moving players, whether F or D.
English
@hockeyanalysis # 1 issue: Lack of mobile, puck moving defencemen. Look at how Hutson, Makar, Seider, Werenski, Quinn Hughes and Rasmus Dahlin have shaped their teams. This is why they spend so much less time than the Leafs do in their own D zone.

I am working on an article on the state of the Leafs and what went wrong in 2025-26, but I am curious what Leaf fans think. What are the one or two things that went wrong and explain why it resulted in them falling so far in the standings.

I wrote about the Calgary Flames abundance of draft picks in the 2026 NHL draft and what is a reasonable expectation from the prospects they add to the organizations. If you are a Flames fan, which of these outcomes would make you happy?

I made some upgrades to the draft pick simulator. You can now specify up to 16 picks which should cover most/all teams drafts. I also added some additional pick ranges to choose (i.e. 6-10 overall). Finally, you can now run the simulation 1, 5 or 10 times.

Did your team trade for some draft picks today? Were you wondering the quality of players you reasonably expect from those draft picks down the road? Use this draft pick simulator to see the types of players that were taken with those picks in the past.

@JamesCybulski Calgary offers four 2026 second round picks for Elias Petterson (the center). Deal?
English
The Canucks have acquired more 2nd round picks (4) in 2026 than they have wins (2) this year.

I really need someone to do a story on how hockey coverage (and some of the game itself) has rapidly regressed back to the early 2010s in the last couple years

Hey @WestJet, you just changed my flight from a 2hr connection in Calgary to 16hr connection so now I have to pay for a hotel and to top things off you downgraded me from Premium economy to Economy and no offer of compensation. How in the world do you think this is acceptable?

Not even out a day and I have a nice enhancement of these team cards. Added to the 2025-26 team cards are 5 year trends.
I love Utah's trends, especially for Create, Pen. Kill and Skating.

@tangotiger @MeghanChayka Point to Kucherov happened 16 times, but that is behind Hedman to Kucherov (20 times) and Hagel to Kucherov (18 tomes).
Draisaitl to McDavid happened 20 times.
Scheifele-Connor (34) and Connor-Scheifele (25) appear to have the tightest co-beneficiary relationship.
English
@hockeyanalysis @MeghanChayka Interesting how you don't have the reverse effect... how far down do you have to go to get McDavid or Kucherov as the beneficiary of the playmaker?
English
@tangotiger @MeghanChayka I didn't filter out shootout goals which explains Boldy's unassisted total so ignore that.
English
@tangotiger @MeghanChayka All situations first assist to goal scorer:
10 Pastrnak to Geekie
9 Connor to Scheifele
9 Raymond to Larkin
8 Scheifele to Connor
8 Beniers to Eberle
8 Guenther to Cooley
8 Suzuki to Caufield
There are 11 combos at 7, including Boldy unassisted.
