KarateKen Posted September 25 Posted September 25 Jamie Benn of the Stars is going to miss the early part of the season with a collapsed lung. The injury happened in a preseason game against Minnesota. Benn will be evaluated again in four weeks and with the regular season less than two weeks away, he clearly will be out to start the year. A collapsed lung is a serious issue so there is a chance he could be out for a while longer than the four weeks.
KarateKen Posted October 1 Posted October 1 On 9/11/2025 at 2:23 PM, KarateKen said: Kirill Kaprizov has turned down a contract extension from Minnesota that would have made him the highest paid player in NHL history. This does not bode well for the Wild, since he likely turned down the contract to seek offers with other teams. He is in the final year of his current contract with the team. The Wild finally have a young star player who they can build their team around for the next decade, offer him the biggest contract in history, and he still says no. This is the life of a Minnesota fan. So much for that! Kaprizov did sign an 8-year contract extension with the Wild today, Sept 30, for 138 million I think, making him the highest paid NHL player in history. Maybe the Wild will be OK after all.
KarateKen Posted Saturday at 10:45 PM Posted Saturday at 10:45 PM The Panthers and Lighting racks up 186 penalty minutes in their preseason game the other night. Not sure if that is a record or not, but that is more than I know I have ever heard of for preseason. State rivals going at it early. Lightning won the game 5-2.

If the 186 penalty minutes from Thursday's preseason game was a record, it isn't anymore. It's not even close to the record. Tampa and Florida met again on Saturday and rolled up 312 penalty minutes. By the time the game got to the last five minutes Tampa had three players left on the bench, everyone else had been thrown out. Florida won this game 7-0 but I don't think either team cared much about the score, they seemed more interested in fighting. Maybe the most heated sports rivalry right now is between two hockey teams in Florida.

There were 65 penalties and 16 ejections, the Panthers had 17 power plays. Good chance there are some fines and suspensions handed out after this one. Some other notes: there was a player for Tampa who was ejected but somehow stayed in the game and later picked up another penalty. There was also an 8-0 lead for the Panthers then seven minutes after the goal the play was reviewed and the goal removed, making it 7-0. I doubt there has ever been a crazier preseason game in the history of the NHL.
KarateKen Posted Tuesday at 09:15 PM Posted Tuesday at 09:15 PM Three games tonight as the NHL drops the puck on opening day. Chicago at Florida, Pittsburgh at NY Rangers and Colorado at LA Kings Four games on Wednesday and 14 on Thursday. Time to Hit the Ice!
KarateKen Posted 18 hours ago Posted 18 hours ago Florida beat Chicago 3-2, so the Panthers won the final game (Stanley Cup) last season and were the first team to win a game this season. Pittsburgh and Colorado also won. Games on Wednesday are Montreal at Toronto, Boston at Washington, Edmonton at Calgary, and LA Kings at Vegas. If your team did not have a game Tuesday or Wednesday, the season will start for them on Thursday.
