The Official 2026 - 2027 NHL and Everything Hockey Thread

[Muchmore]

The season wrapped up yesterday, and we have a new Stanley Cup Champion, the Carolina Hurricanes. But that means it's already time to start talking the 26-27 season. With the Draft starting June 26th, and a few players requesting trades, we could see some action pretty quick when it comes to the upcoming season.

So new season, new thread!

I'm going to get that damn 82-0 on that freaking game if it kills me

I’m waiting for the schedule to come out so I can plan my fall trip to Tampa.

I mean at this point no one wants him there anymore. So I hope sooooo badly it's Anaheim

I will say I am remarkably happy I never got around to getting a Larkin USA sweater and my Centennial one is a Seider.

The Oilers ruined everything with the one position they refuse to fix. It was my last pick too. I really thought I had it.

Torts was a rent-a-coach? ESPN reporting he won’t be returning to VGK.

Have the Rangers been eliminated from the playoff race yet?

 

[Carolina Dundee]

I can’t believe you are already looking ahead. Canes just landed back in town yesterday and the parade is Saturday.

It was always just an interim position to the end of the season to be re-evaluated at the end of the playoffs.

He cost the team their 2nd round draft pick in like a month long span. Not hard to say "thanks but no thanks" after that.

Always start the next thread as soon as the Cup has been lifted

He made them even more unbearable than they already were

It’s their year for something probably. Doesn’t mean success lol.

Not bringing Torts back and still not allowing Cassidy to interview for a HC job.

I’m convinced there’s only one way to get to 82-0 on that spin game. Orr and Gretzky are required. If you don’t have both, you can’t get it. Then like six-eight other players for those remaining four spots. And multiple of those other players all occupy the same slot.

Your descent into madness because of this game is a little funny

It’s taking up way too much time. I’ve had insane combos that don’t get the 82-0 and it’s making me go ******* insane

 

[Muchmore]

First time I’ve EVER gotten them both. And I still lost. I’m going to throw my phone. f**k you Justin Faulk

I saw the article about Torts this morning also. Sounds like he and the team both knew it was a foregone conclusion, so no surprise to anybody.
