2026/2027 NHL/AHL Season including Playoffs

[IdRatherBeSkiing]

It's August so naturally it is time to start talking hockey. With the Marlies just finishing their Caulder Cup run 2 months ago, the off season has seemed shorter than usual. The Leafs off season of course was much longer.

I don't expect the Marlies to repeat. But looking forward to the new season. Home Opener October 3rd against the Hamilton Hammers. They are the New York Islanders AHL franchise moved from Bridgeport this off season. They have also changed divisions.

The Leafs got their #1 draft pick. Hopefully they can at least sneak back into the playoffs.

Let's discuss your favourite teams here.

I'm good with most teams, no built-in hatred for any teams especially.
I have t-shirts of the Maple Leafs and the Islanders. So: Go Maple Leafs and Go Islanders!

NHL - Arizona Coyotes

AHL - Tucson Roadrunners

I don't know how much longer the Roadrunners will last in Arizona, especially with former Coyotes owner Alex Meruelo, who is still a fucking asshole, potentially taking the last professional hockey team in Arizona and moving them to Reno.
