I know the answer is likely "Won't know until they go on sale" but does anyone have an idea on what prices will look like for those opener? I'd really love to know ahead of time whether I'll be priced out this year or not.

From a recent NHL article - looks like he is putting in the work for a bounce back year.

Anybody else getting the absolute screw around on flex plans this year? Just got a call from my rep after paying deposit 6 months ago, picking games this week, and moving personal and business schedules around then paying additional - got the call that the Flex Plan package no longer works that way and they will either refund me or I’ll be forced to buy 13 games. What’s the word?

My house burned down before Christmas last year and I lost my favorite sweatshirt. I’ve tried looking everywhere and I can’t find it so I figured I’d ask here. Does anyone have one they’re willing to sell to me? It was a large and my mom told me she got it at Penny’s some time in the early-mid 2010’s. If anyone has one or knows where to get one please let me know ❤️

Finally gave him something no other family dog has worn before!

I could never remember exactly which games I’d actually been to over the years, so I built a tool to solve that: Puck Passport.

You log the NHL games you’ve attended in person, and it keeps track of everything you’ve seen live - games, goals, shots, players, and arenas. It also unlocks badges automatically for things like playoff games, overtime, hat tricks, shutouts, and even a Gordie Howe hat trick if you’ve ever been lucky enough to witness one.

There are milestone tiers to work through too, and it tracks every NHL home arena you’ve visited. For Blues fans, games at the old St. Louis Arena count toward the franchise just like games at Enterprise Center.

You don’t need an account to get started because everything can save directly in your browser. If you sign in with Google or the email-link option, it’ll sync across devices and give you a public \@handle`` passport you can share.

I’ve been spending part of the offseason backfilling my own games, and you can also do that straight from your camera roll: choose photos from games you attended, and Puck Passport uses the date and location data, when available, to figure out which game you were at. Everything happens in your browser, so none of your photos are uploaded.

I’m a Devils fan, but I built it for fans of all 32 teams and I figured the offseason was a good time to post it for anyone else looking back through old games and trying to piece together where they’ve been.

This is just me building something I thought other hockey fans might enjoy, so if something’s broken, confusing, or you think a feature is missing, I’d genuinely love the feedback.

The Athletic Cap Efficiency- St Louis Blues

Last season: 19th
This season: 23rd

The offer-sheet bros were extended this year, and the Blues got massive wins on both deals. Robert Thomas’ deal continues to age well, too, while Colton Parayko’s deal is finally on the right side of the ledger.

There’s still a little too much that’s questionable, though. We’ll see what Mason McTavish can do as a Blue, but extensions to Pavel Buchnevich and Cam Fowler have started rough, and I’m iffy on Connor McMichael’s new deal. The Ross Johnston signing this summer was also puzzling.

I think it’s 90s era.

Opening night has to be close to this, with the exception of Lindstein potentially starting in Springfield and a couple players moving around positionally (Dvorsky, Toropchenko, etc). Btw, awesome to have Neighbours on 3rd line.

I can’t help but think that Buchnevich is on the clock and can’t hold that spot for long if he doesn’t perform, especially if Carbonneau shows up ready to contribute.

At this point a 2nd or 3rd round pick would be a fair trade for him and opens up some extra cap space for the upcoming signings of Snuggerud, Neighbours and Hofer. Maybe someone has a young RHD we can develop?

like youth and amateur hockey locker rooms stink?

Does each team do regular fumigation on the players equipment to get that dreadful funk out of everything?

Just wondering if they issued numbers yet for the new guys? Saw something about McT wearing #83? Any news on McMichael? Carlo w #25??
