NHL 2026: The Olympics Will Be Mammoth!

Feels like Edmonton and Vegas are simply beneficiaries of the Pacific Division being hot garbage than being competently run teams.

Bowman: "McJesus and Draisaitl aren't gonna pick the coach."

He's quoted saying this, like, six times in the article, lmao.

Also noted - Draisatil has seen 7 head coaches in 11.5 seasons with Edmonton, McJesus has seen 5 coaches in 11 seasons.

Had to chuckle when I read this,
Knoblauch had signed a three-year extension in October that had yet to officially kick in, and the Oilers will be on the hook to pay him that money as well as a new coach's contract.

One of the terrible things about Vegas getting this far is the number of opportunities it will get Tortorella in the future.

Speaking of Vegas and Torts…

The National Hockey League announced today that, as a result of flagrant violations of the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs Media Regulations following Game 6 of their Second Round series against the Anaheim Ducks on Thursday, May 14, the Vegas Golden Knights will forfeit a second-round pick in the 2026 Upper Deck NHL Draft.



In addition, Golden Knights head coach John Tortorella has been fined $100,000.



The imposition of these penalties comes after previous warnings were issued to the Club regarding their compliance with the Media Regulations and other associated policies.

god, they are fun to watch. FULLY on their bandwagon now and for years to come.

I love that the league just threw the hammer on torts. fuck this entire revolving carousel of old predatory men and their blind eyes.

supposedly, and I have not heard firm confirmation - that Torts skipped the media as he was pissed about McNabb being suspended.


i, too, am mad torts. But I'm mad about the fucking brain damage to the guy who was trucked needlessly from across the ice.

It wasn’t just Torts, the whole team refused to talk to the media. Now, there’s stories coming out from the Vegas media about how many times they’ve done this crap.
