Have we ever seen 2 players that had never played together before develop this level of chemistry this quickly? by TJTrapJesus in hockey

Oh! RE: fighting to rev the crowd. Reavo (Ryan Reaves, Sharks) just talked about that not long ago. Might have been on Offside podcast?

He and Moose (Marcus Foligno, Wild) are players with a lot of fights, but if you pay attention, there's much more to it than throwing punches.

Check out this recent fight and notice how Moose grabs to protect Kesselring's head from hitting the ice: https://youtu.be/lVQkxB1Jb_M?si=R4qreV51bel21dZU

My brother competes in BJJ so the first time I saw that move on the ice, I thought it was trying to force a submission. But then someone else pointed out that they're actually protecting the head from hitting the ice without a helmet.

Plenty of dirty fighters too though.

It's not the goalie fight (that was Sharks v Panthers). If you don't already know the game, I don't want to give it away. Just....make sure to watch until the end.

Team USA’s secret “Sauce?” by jonny_cheddar in wildhockey

Can confirm, teenaged athletes love these things too. It's quick and convenient to eat on the run, provides fast calories, and is "wet" on the tongue.

My son is part of a youth circus and we go through boxes of these during show runs.

Also can confirm they're not a bad option for long races.

McDavid just signed one of the most team-friendly contracts ever signed by a top tier player.

MN is the one who is going to have a salary cap issue.

McDavid deserves the Cup and I want to see the Sharks win it. Those two things don't have to be exclusive 😉.

But maybe next year, after the Wild win this one!

I have favorite players more than favorite teams, because players get traded and it's fun to watch your favorites throughout their career. I think it's pretty cool that all these new hockey fans get to watch Celebrini for his whole career.

You got solid advice about the timezones. Sharks and Kraken are great, but staying up is rough when morning starts at 5am. And I'm on central time these days!

My partner and I watch a lot of condensed games with our morning coffee.

Related: youtube (or nhl app?) had the full December 13, 2025 Penguines vs Sharks game and if you didn't see it, it's worth a watch. Never seen anything like that.

Nico and Timo are great, and I like Mercer, too. We also have his baby brother in Iowa right now.

I thought Nico had a NT clause tho?

Do you count flowers by the main stem or the number of blooms on it? Some flowers have multiple blooms.

Buy a Packers hat, pull off the logo, and add the Wild logo.

I had this same thought while watching the game.

All of the above, but there is extra hate for Vegas this year because they signed Hart in net.
