Surprised people think it's going to be the Rangers. They look done. It's going to be either Montreal or Islanders.

We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.
What This Means for You:
- If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
- If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
- Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
- Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress
Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

I keep thinking their elite talent is gonna come through and drag them into the playoffs.
I guess there's still time.
If you think that Alex Ovechkin has been playng anything close to resembling “hockey” for the last decade plus…then I don’t know what to tell you. He’s basically been a marketing gimmick for that organization. It’s not hockey. He doesn’t actually help his team win. He scores goals at the expense of his team, if that makes sense. It might not be so noticeable now because he has a good team around him, but watch him play for a shift. He barely even moves.
This is an actual real post on the Pens board.

Anyone watching Geno every game and ripping on Ovie might not be watching the same sport.
Ovie is leading the season in goals pre game
Meh. Let Pens fans swim in their own tears. I don’t GAF about their opinion.
They had their time. Now it’s ours

It has to be a coaching problem. Lavi has been the head coach almost 2 full seasons and the team is so hit and miss from game to game. There has to be a huge disconnect in that dressing room. Many of those players have been together for long enough that they should be cohesive. It's not like they have turned over half their roster.
I'd love for them to miss the playoffs.

Propably somewhere between late 1st and 2nd round pick. Tough to gauge his value really because while there were lots of teams that couldn't easily add that much cap without moving some, Jensen was definitely one of the more interesting fits to the teams that had cap space given he didn't have any trade protection. Sens GM basically mentioned that at the time of the trade that they struck out on basically all their D targets and we already knew that anyone that has any kind of trade protection has Sens on their no-trade list.

I would say second, probably not first.
We love Jensen for the reasons we know but it strikes me as one of those supply/demand things where the number of teams willing to pay for a stay at home puck moving type limited the bidders in the moment, so you end up with a valuable guy who also doesn't help teams trying to move the needle on game breakers.
Doesn't speak less of him as a player, love the guy, but I think that's why that trade shook out how it did.
Montreal board seriously thinks the Protas bros are taking PEDs this season.
Please give them to us round one so we crush their smurf-filled team.

Well golly gee shucks I guess it's just pure coincidence that the greatest goal scorer of all time came to a lottery team and they've won the 2nd most games during his career despite having a massively losing record in the games he's missed. - Just your typical 20 year 1500 game lucky streak.
At home, in the JT Miller revenge game, no less. They’re getting booed at every whistle by the home team.

And somehow they still win the game. I don't get the people being dismissive of the Rags. They're 1 season removed from winning the presidents trophy, sweeping the caps, and making the conference final, and it is undeniable that they have enough talent to be a real threat.
They lost trouba, I guess, but other than that, I don't see any really significant changes in the core of the roster from last season to this one.
Momentum can be a strange thing in hockey, and it really wouldn't surprise me to see them sneak into the playoffs and suddenly turn it on.
