Hello guys, and welcome back to another episode of the Hockey Talk with TG Podcast! In this episode, I talk about the NHL releasing the schedule for opening night of the 2025–26 season. The league is starting things off with a big tripleheader on October 7. First, the Florida Panthers will raise their Stanley Cup banner as they take on Connor Bedard and the Chicago Blackhawks. Then the Pittsburgh Penguins will play the New York Rangers as Mike Sullivan makes his debut as Rangers head coach against his former team. Last but not least, the Colorado Avalanche will face the Los Angeles Kings. It’s going to be a fun start to the season with these great matchups all across the league.I also cover a huge story in college hockey. Top prospect Gavin McKenna has committed to Penn State. This is a big deal because McKenna is expected to be the first overall pick in the 2026 NHL Draft. He had an amazing year in the WHL with 129 points in 56 games. He’s the first big name to go to college after a new rule allowed CHL players to join NCAA teams. His move to Penn State could change how young players choose to develop before going pro.Then we get into some offseason news around the NHL. There have been a few important signings. Bowen Byram signed a two-year deal to stay with the Sabres, and Nikolaj Ehlers signed a six-year contract deal with the Carolina Hurricanes. On the trade side, Arturs Silovs was traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins, and Isaac Howard is now with the Edmonton Oilers. These trades and signings could have a big impact next season, and I break down what they could mean for each team.So sit back, relax, and enjoy the episode.
