I'm not going to say this article completely rejuvenated me, but it gave me the boost of hope and clarity needed to deliver me from the depths of despair I've been feeling regarding hockey. I've been in dark places lately thinking about it.

@Chigaze I missed this but will check McCarthy’s archive later today.
Overall, it’s a terrible look for the Oilers. They’ve struggled with leadership since at least last fall when key players failed to play 200-ft. Then these key players hire a coach with a history of abusing players. Now they’re inviting a legally-not-à-rapist into the dressing room. Sad days for this club.

I was disappointed in the team’s on-ice leadership last season. Content to play irresponsibly and having goalies, coaches take the heat. I keep hoping someone with character steps up in the room to get them pulling in the right direction (of 200-ft play). McD hires a guy with very poor interpersonal skills to hide his embarrassment. Stan hires a guy with very poor judgment to… help w the PK? C’mon.
I couldn’t finish reading Stu Cowan’s Skating on Thin Ice because it showed hockey culture as a sick place. I’m thinking it’s time to pick it up again. Learn more about how we might fix the sickness.
In the meantime, my Oilers jerseys may be on their way back to Stan’s office. Ugh.
When the club shows real leadership, lmk.

That’s def a mind-boggler.
The bigger mind-boggler is how GM Stan Bowman, not so far from his own period in purgatory for looking the other way (but who appeared to understand the need for taking responsibility, making amends) can sign a young man who clearly participated in what the NHL considered unacceptable sexual behaviour. WTF, Stan?#oilers #edmonton

I don't really have much of a relationship with #BarryMelrose.
I'll say this. When I was breaking into this new and exciting world of #Hockey I had absolutely nowhere to go for information or discussion.
TSN, Sportsnet? What's a Puck Daddy? As someone not immersed in that area of the internet/sports I had no idea.
Melrose was a staple on ESPN and he'd host a weekly Hockey podcast. It was an absolute lifeline for me whilst I figured out how to follow this sport from the UK.
Insightful, funny, entertaining. It was absolutely essential to me as a new fan, and I'm not sure if I'd still be Hockey mad nearly 20 years later, if it wasn't for Melrose and that podcast.
So, here's to Barry Melrose. RIP to a great one.

🏒🥅🇨🇦 Dear SN, You’re raking it in and charging more. You’re limiting visibility. Your panel sucks. Oilers have signed a not-quite-legal “rapist.”
Not a happy day for this Canadian hockey fan.#media #sportsnet

🏒🥅🇨🇦 I believe the 5 “not legally rapists” are worthy of a 2nd chance —once they’ve taken the necessary steps to address & atone for behaviour that the NHL found unacceptable. I hope to see that happen. Making mistakes, & especially when it comes to women & sex, is pretty much a given for many of us men. Some of us learn to take responsibility.

yes, because signing Formenton will sign their goaltending and defense issues. also big f u to the non cis male fanbase. remember, he was one of the tried rapists on the 2018 Canada World Juniors team. #hnom @hnom

@jimlil @olliethewobbly @hnom That’s one of the arguments for goalies 6.5+ height. One, they may be able to see over the players in front of them. Two, with their height and width they fill up most of the net.
I started watching hockey when only a handful wore masks, and padding was (relative to today’s gear) inconsequential. -

🏒🥅🇨🇦🏆 “I want this kid to f—ing try harder defensively, but he saves himself for offense,” the executive said
In hockey, as in life, people do not like it when others make effort look effortless.
Evan Bouchard is so smart he doesn’t waste effort. Occasional viewers are convinced he’s lazy or dumb, or both. The results don’t matter to them. A couple of awkward giveaways circulating on the internets confirms their opinion (it’s a cottage industry, clipping and sharing Bouchard’s gaffes; there’s no market for the Makar, Hughes, Werenski, Hutson gaffes, so we don’t see that all high-level puck-possession D are taking and losing risks, regularly.)
It’s in the job description of elite offensive D: take risks, be willing to fail to be excellent. They all do. The difference is that some are doing so without seeming effort. They are reviled as lazy. Go Bouch!

It's been about two months since Steve Yzerman was removed as GM of the Red Wings. Since then all we've heard was from two reliable insiders is that neither Draper or Greenberg will be the next GM. I'm not panicking about lack of GM news, it's too early for that, but this isn't reassuring.

Many goalies wonder the same thing about their thick-bodied defenders. A body is, they would say, a better screen than a window on WTF is going on in front of them. But thick-bodied defenders are too often thick-skulled defenders. And, goalies’ views on the matter are seldom welcome.

🏒🥅 “While pointing out the NHL, USA Hockey, and teams have contributed significant efforts with learn-to-play programs that include free equipment and ice time, Smith is concerned about the long-term impact of tariffs.
“This has, obviously, the potential to really stunt that growth,” he said. “It couldn’t be a worse time for tariffs to hit in terms of really having the having the possibility to increase costs.””#economy #sports #hockey #hnom @hnom https://vancouver.citynews.ca/2026/09/07/the-us-tariff-on-canadian-imports-could-send-already-soaring-hockey-gear-prices-even-higher/?utm_source=flipboard&utm_content=topic%2Fhockey

🏒🥅🇨🇦🏆 I believe that one decision by McDavid, to eschew the 1-vs-3 habit in favour of the 200-ft game, will not only lead to a powerful season by the man, it will signal to the team that responsible play is expected, from top to bottom. He knows this. That’s how they got to back to back SCFs. That’s how they put together the only consistent month of play last season, from Nov 26-Dec 25. He’s stubborn (believes he can do it all, himself); he’s also smart, and driven. And, I would imagine, embarrassed for winning yet another Art Ross while his team floundered. I expect a very different season of play this year.
As for his wingers, I like the Podz plus Savoie/Kap suggestion. For Draisaitl, I want Howard for a long stretch. He will learn, and become the winger this team needs. On the other side, Dach? I have great faith in Drai’s talent as a mentor.

🏒🥅🇨🇦🏆SLOW START? WHO CARES?
My concern is the leadership grow play and behave like leaders. This may take some time. If they do, they’ll win. No doubt“Learn to play patient and safe when needed. They’ve done it in previous seasons. They were unable to find any momentum last season, really at any point, and I guarantee the veterans will remind teammates of that when the preseason begins.”
