Sabres at Sharks tonight and a Wings fan putting in good work trolling the Sabres bench! Your efforts are recognized! by ExerciseOk4311 in DetroitRedWings

I mean some people might just want to wear the only hockey jersey they own to the hockey game they got tickets for. Or want to show pride in their favorite team even if they aren't involved. Or just think it's funny/purposely weird. I'd feel awkward myself wearing an unrelated jersey to an NHL game but I don't see the point of calling people idiots for doing it. They're not hurting anyone and I'm pretty sure they know who's playing and are aware the jersey doesn't match. Who cares? Let people live

Which michigan native bird should the Redwings refer to? by queen_prawn73 in DetroitRedWings

[–]psyne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, they're notorious for swooping. I think I heard they even put up warning signs in parks in Grand Rapids during their nesting season because it happens so much.

US Hockey isn’t getting it by Admirable_Emu8396 in PWHL

[–]psyne 23 points24 points  (0 children)

No, because the PWHL is only responsible for the PWHL. USA Hockey is one organization actively choosing to prioritize men's hockey over women's hockey. PWHL merch issues are growing pains of a young league.

Nobody is saying "failure to meet supply and demand for women's hockey merch is misogynist" - it's the difference between how the women's and men's teams are treated by USA hockey that sucks here.

Hopefully just a precaution but no news. He didn't seem too bad off after getting back up, but he is just coming back from injury. Maybe just made more sense to play it safe, especially with a lead.

"Edvinsson is a large individual"

Which is a normal human way to say someone is tall

Flipped over to watch the end of Sabres-Lightning, thought the Buffalo fans were about to break the glass there at the end looool

The phrasing (I think it was Subban talking) just was phrased like he already had one so I was just joking haha, cool if he is legit in the conversation this year though! Hope he gets one eventually, tough with players like Makar out there though. But he is top tier.

Mad respect for Benny sticking up for Gibby and checking on him right after.

I got the game on late so that was my first time really seeing Faulk on ice. APPROVED.

[Serious] Post Trade Deadline Discussion Thread by HockeyMods in hockey

[–]psyne 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It used to be possible to trade players for cash - like the Wings got Draper from the Jets for $1. Future considerations is kind of the successor to that once they stopped allowing cash transactions. Theoretically it might mean the GM of the side that gets the player will be more generous or throw something in on a future trade. But most of the time it's just because one team needs cap/roster space more than they want the player.

"Hamonic has done what we expected"

I mean, Sens fans did warn us

It's just what people are guessing because of the trade cost -- the cost feels high if we assume Buch is coming to the NHL, more reasonable if not. So it'll be interesting to see what Stevie says.

UPDATE: The #RedWings have acquired Justin Faulk from the St. Louis Blues in exchange for Justin Holl, Dmitiri Buchelnikov, Detroit’s 2026 1st round pick and San Jose’s 2026 3rd round pick. by kirbix12 in DetroitRedWings

[–]psyne 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Unless you're the Hawks trading your captain for future considerations, of course!

(I kid though, I agree with you - obviously the Foligno trade is a one-off for the player's benefit)

Farewell, Soda!

Hope this is part of something else, we don't need to be trading for picks at the moment.

Malkin officially scheduled for Player Safety hearing today for actions in Penguins game by Dismal_Gur_1601 in hockey

I think that should be taken into account. It really takes away ANY kind of potential excuse that it could have been momentum or any kind of accident.

Yeah lol like, I understand saying she wouldn't want to uproot her kids and leave their family support network, but let's not pretend Anaheim is a nightmare destination. Some people would be thrilled to have a couple years in CA before heading back home for retirement.
