The Official 2024-25 Season Talk Thread

[Majingir]

The season technically started

the standings literally go
1. Devils
2. Everyone else
3. Sabres

Milestone watch this season:
Crosby 8 away from getting 600 goals (would be 21st in history) and has a shot of being in the top 10 all time in assists

Ovechkin 42 goals away from passing Gretzky

Suter and Ovechkin have a shot at 1500GP (would be 22nd and 23rd to ever do it)

And for the first time since the 95/96 season, there's no Coyotes (and technically speaking, first time since 78/79 where this franchise doesn't exist).

Do we see the Utah Hockey Club pull off a miracle run of a season?

Both Florida and Edmonton started last year 0-2, 4D chess from the Sabres

Not even the full opening day yet and Frank Seravalli has already managed to have the absolute worst take someone could have.

Sabres also started 0-2 last season and it didn't help so...

Shesterkin rejects an 8x11 deal from the Rangers


On one hand, you have one of the best goalies in the league, but that seems like a lot on the Rangers end to offer, and he somehow declined too.

I don't get why they don't have abbreviations or anything either.

No UTA or anything?

On score tickers some will just put "hockey club". So the score will be something like "Avalanche-1 Hockey Club-0".

Good job, good effort, Pens.

Leafs with almost 50 shots and can't score a goal.

Guess Berube is right, they're gonna treat every game like it's the playoffs
