I thought that was really cool too

Kale Dach's WHL career is off to a great start. The 7th-round pick in 2025 is becoming a nightmare for opposing defensemen thanks to his work ethic.

NEW: Kale Dach, the Penguins 7th round pick at 201st overall last year, is proving to be a serious diamond in the rough. Long video analysis of his 1.25ppg in his first CHL season. (Heading to Penn State next year!)

7 points in 8 games whoops*

Inside Tanner Howe's Pro-Style Game Tanner Howe's AHL career is off to a roaring start, boosted by his attention to detail and aggressive nature.

NEW: Tanner Howe has 8 points in his first 7 pro games. Video analysis of his on-ice impact in all three zones. This is a pro player and I don’t think he’ll be in the AHL very long. Total continuation of his junior approach. Scaring AHL defenders.

Yes I also mean Avery Hayes, who is in absolute dawg mode

Figured about 3-4 weeks for Crosby. This is primo Ben Kindel time. Dude is gonna be fresh from that Olympic break. Was playing super well before that. Looking forward to the increase in TOI for him.

Folks, @synonymforwet.bsky.social for wet and I keep getting signs from the Universe to dust off the Dying Alive machine.

Very sorry for your loss, Adam

Hey, I just met you

And there’s a white whale

But here’s my story

So call me Ishmael.

— Moby Dick, by Carly Rae Jepsen.

This Time Next Year is objectively one of the greatest pop punk albums of all time.

Thing is, that’s not what this means. He’s saying CALL me Ishmael. Because of what happened to the Ishmael of the Bible. He’s not saying this is literally his name.

Holding all that angst ain’t good for a man

Times like today I am happy you are my friends on that website

I’ll work on him

My brother in Christ

Insane

Substacks gonna be busy folks

Pretty good trade! Girard has a decent bit of offensive utility that Kulak doesn’t have, plus you take advantage of the cap situation in Colorado to get *another* 2nd round pick.

Note of the fact that all of Dubas’ recent trades where he sends a pick out come from rounds where he has 2-3 around.

Idk who needs to hear this right now but the pwhl streams all their games to youtube for free and uploads the replays. For free.

I don’t know what kind of test she applied in the moment, but he failed. Miserably.

Today on the Disney Cruise, my daughter met Goofy and asked him if he knew how to Irish jig. This was very confusing to me as my child does not normally discuss Irish jigs. So Goofy obliged, and when he extended the invite to dance with him, she straight up dogged him. Ghosted. He jigged alone.

Now let’s try the bad news, in a good way

You mess with any Masayoshi Takanaka? Check out his track “Oh! Tengo Suerte”

Appreciate this

Wonder if it had anything to do with him begrudgingly saying he’d have no choice but to invite them as if it were some chore for him. /s

YouTube video by Jesse Marshall Harrison Brunicke - Jan/Feb 2026 WHL Mixtape

ICYMI, I put together a long mix of Harrison Brunicke’s work since he’s been sent back to the WHL. It is very clear that the Penguins told him to focus on his defensive game. I tried to highlight exactly how he’s doing that #penguins #prospects #nhl #chl

I refuse to talk over the mixtapes I put together. I will never do it. I try to make videos that paint a good picture of a player and let the viewer do the interpreting. No one needs my ugly mug in the corner reiterating the very things you’re watching yourself.

I did not :(
