Around the NHL: 2024-2025 Season

Arnold Slick from Turtle Crick just put his phone down and cried.

If I'm Ottawa I'm trading Brady Tkachuk now while his value is sky high. After you watch how USA he was and how emotional it seems pretty obvious that he will leave as a free agent same way his brother did and go play for an American team. They are dreaming if they think they can keep him happy in Ottawa.

Matt Savoie makes his debut with the Oilers tomorrow against Philadelphia.

Savoie just got his first NHL point with a beauty of a backhand pass from behind the net to Draisaitl.

You mean they didn’t bring him up and put him on a line with the Oiler equivalent of Tyson Jost and Brandon Biro?

More seriously, good for Savoie. I hope the kid has a great career.

Looked good in the first period but playing with Draisaitl didn't hurt him that's for sure. Flyers shut down all the Oilers in the third though. The Russians were well rested .

Savoie finished with an A and +1. (Skinner had less ice time than Savoie and -2 with no points.)

Would love to see him as a Sabre.  I would give up a lot to get him.

Only with an extension and long term signing. Otherwise I wouldn't trust him to stay and commit.
