I mean who watches Islanders games but when you see highlights etc it’s like “sheesh this kid is no joke” and he’s a defencemen lol

FatButcher · 02-27-2026, 06:22 PM

Couldn't agree more, he has been amazing, seems impossible he's an 18 year old defenseman.

Name checks out haha and I was just kidding although I’m sure they aren’t top of NHL tv ratings, even compared to Rangers.

The Islanders should pull a Wendel Clark and move him to forward from defence. Screw skating backwards.

Darnell Nurse has been traded for a 5lb bag of potatoes.

Not on Reddit since Tage wore a certain hat lol

FatButcher · 03-01-2026, 02:28 PM

I brought the Sabres up a few pages back in December I think. Shocked it's still going strong. Good for Sabres fans who have stuck with them during the drought.

If Reddit hates him then it must mean he's an American Hero.

Can’t disagree lol, not into politics or talking them on here often but it reminds me of how that same social media site acted like it was the worst thing in history attacking a certain place, now said place supreme leader is gone and said place is celebrating and partying in the streets lol and said social media site is still gonna hate.

On the Sabres if Bills are any indication I wouldn’t be handing them the Stanley just yet lol classic Buffalo move to look great regular season then playoffs…..

jmarascojr · 03-06-2026, 09:26 AM

I really hope Edmonton does something big today and goes for Bobrosky or something to shore up their goalie problem...

Breaking: After hiring 14 panelists and wasting 5 hrs of prime broadcasting time TSN Trade Centre is announcing that Omahr Rasmussen has been dealt from Utah Hockey Team to the Minnesota Leaning Centres for Ulf Handelssson. Elliotte Friedman has also been hired as a late night TV Phychic so goodbye to five star hotels and steaks sandwiches for reporting nothing.

ThatGuyPal · 03-06-2026, 03:42 PM

Classic NHL, the most boring deadline day of the four major sports lol

While not in the firs tier of favorites the Sabres are a dark horse bet for a cup win I saw the odds at 25 to 1 that looks like a decent bet and the odds will be dropping if they keep on winning.

It’s decent for sure I just don’t see them doing it. Tage Thompson Cup before McDavid would be wild though. They def have a strong team

ZappBrannigan · 03-07-2026, 11:16 AM

Dristan Gerry and Sam Mountingbull -get off your knees and you might make a save a couple times in a game.

ThatGuyPal · 03-08-2026, 02:35 PM

Just checked stat leaders and it’s actually wild Mcdavid is in first when MacKinnon is putting up multiple points per game and leads in goals. I don’t see a ton of Oilers games but McDavid must be an assist machine.

As a Sabres fan, I just wanna see them make it to the playoffs after so long, not worried about a Cup, but they DO look good...

It is tough being a McDavid fan and being on the East Coast, all the games start at 10-1030pm...

ThatGuyPal · 03-08-2026, 03:33 PM

Good point as I am on the east coast lol Kings games usually end long after I’m asleep

ZappBrannigan · 03-12-2026, 11:33 PM

kellmuff · 03-18-2026, 08:45 AM

man not a single player jumping Gudas after the hit on Matthews might be the most gutless thing I've seen in some time. I dont care if you're Easton Cowan, you go get yourself beat up for your captain there.

My goodness that might have been the nail in the coffin for this era of players. It all falls to pieces with stuff like that.

You couldnt have guessed in your wildest dreams that when the Leafs drafted Marner and Matthews that it would all end like this after a decade with absolutely nothing to show for it except for a few hollow individual awards

ThatGuyPal · 03-18-2026, 11:10 AM

Nail in the coffin was Marner leaving but I agree with the rest. Realistically it’s been over for a long time but Leafs always get the Bills treatment where it’s “ok next years ours”

kellmuff · 03-18-2026, 02:44 PM

Agreed, I still cant believe I saw Leafs fans arguing that "we will replace his 100 points with 3 guys that get 40 each" after the trade. Braindead.

But that incident fractured the room beyond repair. No question.
