Not the biggest Devils fan as a NYR supporter, but as a UK hockey fan I gotta respect the shout-out to the @BelfastGiants and @officialEIHL here
Good work guys!
Sheldon Keefe isn't the only coach in his family.
@amandacstein talks to our bench boss about his brother, Adam, and his impact with the @BelfastGiants.
@LucasGates92 Meh, he could have gotten the 8th year if he had signed like 24 hours before he did, and I don't think that move alone is enough to move the needle for the Canucks, but a good signing nonetheless!
My biggest WINNERS & LOSERS of the NHL off-season so far:
WINNERS:
- MTL
- FLA
- VGK
Honourable mentions - NYR & CAR
LOSERS:
- LAK
- CLB
- BOS
Honourable mentions - CHI & NSH
Thoughts?
With Free Agency in less than 24 hours, which pre-July 1st trade has been your favourite so far?
Dobson to MTL
Tarasenko to MIN
Hague to NSH
Gibson to DET
Coyle to CLB
Maccelli to TOR
Where I think the top 10 UFAs are signing on July 1st based on rumours/fit:
Marner - VGK
Ehlers - CAR
Ekblad - CLB
Marchand - FLA
Boeser - MIN
Granlund - CAR
Gavrikov - NYR
Provorov - LAK
Kane - DET
Suter - NJD
Agree? Disagree? Let me know your thoughts!
To everyone losing their minds over every player their team drafts today:
3rd-7th round picks have a 30-50% chance of playing 1 NHL game, and only 10-25% reach 100GP.
Some of these picks pan out, most don't, and that's ok.
Relax guys, they're later round picks for a reason!
One of the greats in UK Hockey media getting a full-time commentary gig with an @officialEIHL team? Now that's what I like to see!
Congrats @BannersOTW, you've more than earned this opportunity & @flamesicehockey I know you won't regret it!
We have some off-ice signing news! Following a number of stints as our #LiveStream commentator last season, we are delighted to welcome Anthony Russell as our full time commentator for the 25/26 season! 🎙️
With Anthony joining, we’d like to wish a big thank you to @LukeandElliott for providing the commentary since we launched the live stream back in 2022! 🙏

Dear NHL & the entire sport of hockey:
If the game starts at 8pm, drop the puck at 8pm.
25 mins of forgettable pre-game graphics & clichéd babbling from analysts is actually getting ridiculous
Getting into a physical altercation at a sports game is genuinely one of the most embarrassing things a fan can do
I get it: your team lost to their rivals and you're mad, but instead of taking the L, you gonna throw hands with someone over it?
It's really not that deep!
If Kakko wanted out after the way the team treated him this week then I understand why this happened.
But if the team moved him due to his play or his blunt response to being scratched, then they made a huge mistake.
I'm not happy with this trade, not one bit.
The legalisation & subsequent explosion of sports betting is the worst thing to happen to sports fans in a very long time...
Don't get sucked into the flashy gimmicks, the lengthy parlays or the odds that seem "too-good-to-be-true": it's all a scam and the companies know it.
Not the result the Steelers were hoping for, but holding the defending Swiss-league champions to a single goal during regulation and taking one of the best teams in the tournament to a shootout is one hell of a performance!
Congrats Sheffield: one step closer to the playoffs!
What a close game! 🤏 A shootout had to decide the extra point that went to reigning Swiss champions @zsclions but what another superb performance from @steelershockey 🙌

Maybe it's just my initial surprise to seeing all the names & logos announced, but they're all pretty underwhelming IMO...
Most of the names seem really awkward/boring & the logos look like the most generic, pre-saved templates you can find, but maybe that's just me?
(Re)introducing the inaugural six, as you've never seen them before:
Boston Fleet
Minnesota Frost
Victoire de Montreal
New York Sirens
Ottawa Charge
Toronto Sceptres
First their close game against Fribourg-Gotteron, and now THIS?!
Hell of a performance by the @steelershockey against a solid team from one of the best leagues in Europe!
The boys in Orange sure came to play huh?
The EIHL’s @steelershockey put on another CHL show, this time choosing @vlhlive Vida Arena as their venue 👏 The close game ended up going to OT where on a powerplay they struck to win a huge game! 🤩
