One part math, two parts punching. The best fighter in the NHL last year? Lets take a look #NHL

Putting aside whether Lalonde should have been fired now or ride out the tank for the rest of the season, feels weird that coaches can be fired during the roster freeze. I get WHY, but seems to go against the spirit of it all #RedWings

Owen Tippett only has 2 goals and 7 shots that were tips so far this year, tied for 27th and 74th respectively. Talk about not living up to your name…

What’s next? Neither of Nick Cousins’ parents have siblings??

Now that the #PWHL and #NHL seasons are both off and running, who can put together the best starting lineup of the 6 cities that have teams in both leagues? (All-star game idea??)

Must have…
2 NHL players
2 PWHL players
1 celebrity & 1 athlete from another sport, both associated with the area

Random thought that feels like a job for @downgoesbrown.bsky.social

Using Goal/Assist chains, can you tie from the first NHL goal (Dave Ritchie) to a goal scored this year?
Like, Ritchie goal 1917, Ritchie assists Joe Malone 1920, Malone assists Morenz in 1923 and so on until 2024

With the #PWHL tour coming to Seattle in January, do I lock in my fandom based on whoever wins that game or just keep holding out for a team to come to Seattle? Open to suggestions! #hockey

Red Wings trading PP chances with SJ is just a fun time to mention that going into the game they are drawing penalties at exactly the same rate as they are taking penalties (3.17 per 60)

Which…given their PK…not a great strategy. If the PK had a pulse maybe that PP drags them to more wins though

Was looking at #NHL roster construction earlier this week and noticed more teams were carrying a third goalie (6) than teams that had two forwards being scratched (4). IR excluded. And more than both, were teams with two extra D (9). Curious if anyone has any theories around this #hockey
