Christopher Li+FollowBruins Strike Gold After Islanders’ MissTalk about a lucky break for the Black and Gold! The Bruins landed James Hagens at No. 7 after the Islanders reportedly balked at Utah’s sky-high price—centered around Mat Barzal—for the fourth pick. Isles fans must be wondering ‘what if’ after missing out on the Long Island native, but Sweeney and the Bruins scouting crew sure aren’t complaining. Could this be a franchise-changing moment? Time will tell, but it’s already a draft day story for the ages. #Sports #IceHockey #NHLDraft166Share
Phillip Scott+FollowNHL Draft Drama: Decentralized Again?Anyone else frustrated with the NHL’s decision to stick with the decentralized draft format? After last year’s snooze-fest, it’s wild that the league is doubling down, even though fans and insiders alike panned the event for its lack of energy and awkward production. Sure, the numbers were up from 2024, but they’re still way behind the electric 2023 draft. With so much good happening in the league, why does the NHL keep tripping over its own skates when it comes to fan engagement? #Sports #IceHockey #NHLDraft00Share
Bryce Clark+FollowGophers Hockey: Draft Kings Again!Who else noticed the Gophers dominating the NHL Draft this year? Five players picked, three in the top 100, and they just extended their insane streak—at least one Gopher drafted in 51 of the last 52 years! Jacob Rombach led the way at No. 35, but it’s the consistency that’s wild. Minnesota might not be a football powerhouse, but on the ice, they’re the gold standard. Are we witnessing the best college-to-NHL pipeline ever? #GophersHockey #NHLDraft #CollegeHockey #Sports #IceHockey00Share
Christopher Li+FollowMcQueen’s No. 95: Ducks’ Perfect Draft MoveHow about Roger McQueen leaning all the way into the hype? The Ducks’ top pick just picked No. 95 for his jersey—yep, like Lightning McQueen from “Cars.” With Anaheim’s colors matching the movie car, this is a marketing dream come true. Plus, the Ducks even took him to Disneyland to meet his “cousin.” If McQueen lives up to his name on the ice, this could be one of the most iconic jersey choices in recent NHL memory. #NHLDraft #AnaheimDucks #McQueen95 #Sports #IceHockey10Share
Christopher Li+FollowBruins Finally Betting on High-End Skill?Big news out of Boston: after years of playing it safe, the B’s are finally swinging for the fences in the 2025 draft. With King Pasta as the lone elite scorer, it’s about time the Black and Gold loaded up on offensive upside. Scouting boss Ryan Nadeau says the focus is now on skill, not just size or grit. Could this be the start of a new era for the Bruins? Let’s hope these high-upside picks pay off! #NHLDraft #Bruins #HockeyTalk #Sports #IceHockey10Share
Sherri West+FollowBruins Nab Hagens—Draft Day Heist?Did Don Sweeney just pull off the steal of the draft? Bruins fans are buzzing after Boston landed James Hagens at No. 7—many thought he’d go top five! The kid’s already got gold with Team USA and lit up Hockey East as a freshman. Hagens’ hockey IQ and playmaking could be exactly what the B’s need to reload up front. Is this the start of a new era in Boston? Let’s hear your takes! #NHLDraft #Bruins #JamesHagens #Sports #IceHockey00Share
Christopher Li+FollowYzerman’s Draft Magic: Did He Finally Nail It?Hockeytown, did Stevie Y finally crack the code in Rounds 2-7? The 2025 Red Wings draft class looks deeper than usual, with Carter Bear (13th overall) bringing that relentless edge we’ve been missing. Genborg’s size and two-way game could finally break the Wings’ second-round curse, and Pradel’s a legit goalie prospect for the future. Not every pick’s a home run, but this class might give us more than just organizational depth. Which pick are you most hyped about? #LGRW #RedWings #NHLDraft #Sports #IceHockey00Share
Molly Tucker+FollowStan Bowman’s Goalie Gamble: Right Move?Oilers Nation, are we witnessing another classic Bowman blunder? After King Connor and Drai did their part, our netminders just couldn’t hold up against the Panthers’ firepower in the Finals. Yet, at the 2025 Draft, Stan Bowman passed on goalies and went for defenseman Tommy Lafreniere and winger David Lewandowski. His post-draft comments about “evaluation” and “process” have fans fuming. Is Bowman missing the obvious, or does he have a master plan we can’t see? Sound off, Oilers fans! #OilersNation #StanBowman #NHLDraft #Sports #IceHockey10Share
Phillip Scott+FollowMalcolm Spence: Steal of the Draft?Blueshirts fans, how are we feeling about the Rangers snagging Malcolm Spence at No. 43? The kid’s got size, speed, and that two-way game coaches love. Some experts are calling him the steal of the draft, and now he’s set to face off against his old Erie roommate, Matthew Schaefer, who went first overall to the Isles. That Rangers-Islanders rivalry just got a fresh twist! Let’s see how Spence develops—no rush to judge, but there’s real reason for optimism here. #NYR #NHLDraft #Rangers #Sports #IceHockey00Share
Martha Garza+FollowRangers Steal Spence at 43—Draft Win?Blueshirts fans, did Drury just pull off the steal of the draft? Despite missing out on a first-rounder, the Rangers landed Malcolm Spence at 43—someone most draft gurus pegged for the top 30. Spence’s blend of size, skill, and leadership (plus that Erie connection with Terrance) could make him a future Garden favorite. Did the Pens trade just get a little easier to swallow? Let’s hear your takes on Spence’s upside! #NYR #NHLDraft #MalcolmSpence #Sports #IceHockey00Share
