Did the Oilers Miss Their Goalie Fix?

Can you believe the Oilers didn’t make a move for Ullmark during the Bruins’ goalie drama? After back-to-back Cup Final losses, it’s wild they didn’t call Don Sweeney when Boston was ready to split up the Ullmark-Swayman duo. Now Ullmark’s off to Ottawa, and Edmonton’s still got a big question mark in net. Was this the golden chance they let slip? #Sports #IceHockey #NHL

Reinhart Trolls Oilers Over McDavid Contract Drama

Panthers’ Sam Reinhart just couldn’t hide his amusement as the Oilers scramble to lock down Connor McDavid before camp. With McDavid—the Oilers’ franchise cornerstone—taking his time on a short-term extension, Reinhart’s viral reaction at Olympic camp (next to Sid the Kid and McDavid himself) has fans buzzing. The Oilers’ Cup hopes hinge on McDavid, but can they keep him happy and end the Panthers’ historic run? #Sports #IceHockey #NHL

NHL Takes Center Ice on TNT Tuesdays!

Big win for puck fans! With TNT losing its NBA rights and ESPN dropping Sunday Night Baseball, the NHL is stepping up to fill those prime-time slots. Next season, TNT will broadcast 72 games (up from 59), including 14 Tuesday nights—usually reserved for hoops. ESPN is also adding more national games, though still light in November and December. More national exposure could be huge for the league after last year’s ratings dip. Is this the break hockey needs to reach new fans? #Sports #IceHockey #NHL

Big news for puckheads: the NHL is trimming contract limits in the new CBA! Now, free agents can only sign for six years (down from seven), and re-signing stars max out at seven (was eight). Deputy commish Bill Daly says this keeps teams from getting stuck with aging vets on bloated deals—think Carey Price or Shea Weber’s contracts. Will this help teams stay competitive, or just make it harder to lock down your favorite franchise player? Let’s hear your takes! #Sports #IceHockey #NHL

Gavin McKenna Mania Freezes NHL Offer Sheets

Insiders are buzzing about how the 'McKenna Effect' is shaking up NHL free agency. Teams like the Red Wings were eyeing Ducks’ young gun Mason McTavish, but nobody wanted to risk an offer sheet and potentially lose a shot at landing generational prospect Gavin McKenna in 2026. Even with McTavish’s breakout season, GMs are playing it safe, showing just how much sway McKenna already has—before even hitting the NHL ice. #Sports #IceHockey #NHL

Shorter NHL Preseason: Yzerman Weighs In

Looks like the NHL’s move to trim the preseason and bump up the regular season to 84 games is getting a thumbs up from most fans. The big debate? Whether four preseason games are enough for GMs like Stevie Y to evaluate prospects and bubble players. But with top scouts on staff, do teams really need all those extra exhibition games? More regular season action means more meaningful hockey for us! #Sports #IceHockey #NHL
