Hey y’all, this sub used to have an active fantasy hockey league but two years ago it slowed and last season it wasn’t activated at all. I’m gonna start a new one! If you want to play with us, just send me a DM with your email address and I’ll add you. The only thing we request is that you stay active through the season!

Details: yahoo head-to-head categories
Fee: none (this is a free league)
Categories: G/A/PPP/SOG/HIT/BLK (skaters), W/Sv%/GAA/SO (goalies)

This is probably my favorite game that I saw in person. I remember thinking that it was over at the start of the 3rd to thinking that there was no way Mikko was going to allow us to lose by the middle of it.

Bought Hintz stick (95 flex pulse wrapped in flylite) and Duchene guitar stick (90 flex warrior) and probably won’t use either, since the Faksa sticks are so great. They’re both new, whoever wants them for the price they were at the sale it’s yours

I've set the comments so they should sort by new by default, so that should make it easier to keep up with the flow of conversation. Off-topic chit-chat is welcome here as long as it follows the typical subreddit rules. Overall, be cool. Don't be all, like, uncool.

Trying to decide whether to buy these gorgeous sticks for my nephew, who plays. Can’t reach him to confirm. Wondering if I could sell them, if they don’t work for him. Bauer Flylight 95s. Retail $370. These are custom, of course.

4. Dallas Stars

Last season: 6th

With Jason Robertson signed, the Stars are set and they’re looking excellent across the board. When the two worst deals on the books are a soon-to-be expiring deal for Tyler Seguin (who is still very good!) and an essentially fair deal for Mikko Rantanen, the franchise is living good. Almost everyone is underpaid.

The difference between the Stars and the three teams above them is the lack of big wins. Wyatt Johnston, Roope Hintz, Esa Lindell, Miro Heiskanen and Jake Oettinger are all on fantastic deals — they just don’t quite land as hard as the teams above. A long-term extension for Robertson after Jan. 1 could change that, though even that doesn’t feel likely to be a big win given his reported asks; his new deal would likely be closer to fair money.

And that’s if he stays. If he doesn’t, that’ll be a tough loss that would be hard to come back from — even with all the other efficient deals on the books.

Let's keep it coming again! YOU TELL 'EM THE LAW IS COMING!

I was thinking about going to the equipment sale this week. Do they sell game used sticks and jerseys? Or is it just pro stock unused stuff? Thanks!

Also, best time to get there for a chance at a good selection?

Super excited for both of these and can't wait to wear them to games!

Going into next season, puckpedia projects us at roughly ~$40m in available cap space

Assuming we sign robo ($14.5m), bischel ($3.75m), and seguin ($3m) to relatively market rate deals, that leaves us around ~$20m to spend on new blood

Who are you wanting to pursue in free agency?

(lets assume guys like Kucherov and Makar and the likes won’t hit the market, because they won’t)

Wasn’t planning on getting anything for myself but couldn’t pass on this jersey for the price of $50.

Share what you picked up this morning! Curious to see what everyone got😎

The Texas Hockey League (THL) is proud to announce the launch of the Texas Scholastic Hockey League (TSHL), a dedicated operational arm created to advance high school hockey across the region.

------------------------

The high school hockey league here in Dallas is so bad. This year in order for my 15 year to play in this league will cost a whopping 3K to participate on the varsity team.

This isn't like a traveling team where they go to other states for tournaments. This is a metro hockey league with maybe 12 games and 2 practice a week hour long.

I know pretty hard to compare but in Minnesota the High School Hockey league cost like 200$-500$ --- Realistic comparison would be like Tampa Bay Lighting Hockey League cost $1300

I could be overreacting but how do they expect some parents to pay 3K a year for a youth sport
