Reliability has been an issue brought up by a countless number of subscribers. Besides any price increase, it will be interesting to see what happens as several teams had some success via ESPN+.
Gavin McKenna In No Hurry For 2026 Just Yet
Aaron Vickers: The likely 2026 top draft pick is in no hurry for the calendar to fast forward too quickly.
“I’m kind of lucky to get an opportunity to have another year before getting drafted,” McKenna told NHL.com. “I’ve got to take advantage of it and make sure that I’m working my all every single day, not taking it easy because I have time but making sure I’m putting in the work every single day so I’m ready when it does come.”
Consider that the 16-year-old had 20 points in seven games at the 2024 IIHF U-18 World Championships. Again, this is more about consistency for McKenna. He wants to work on all aspects of his game.
Everything seems to work faster on the ice from his standpoint. McKenna relishes the idea of being a top pick, knows what it means, and understands all that he has to do.

Jacob Trouba Puts That Not Quite In The Louvre
Anna Kulesa of NHL.com: Harper’s Gallery in Manhattan is a long way from Paris, France. Nonetheless, it is impressive that Trouba is showing off his artistic side in a way that delivers a positive message.
There is a slight hockey theme to the artwork. Now, the exhibit runs from August 1st to the 23rd. All the body prints and artwork are unique in the sense that some took days and some took months.
Proceeds from the exhibit will go to Hockey Fights Cancer.
