The Rangers have made the long-term commitment to a No. 1 center – and he’s already in house.
Mika Zibanejad inked an eight-year extension at $8.5 million per to remain with the Blueshirts through 2030, The Post’s Larry Brooks first reported before the team confirmed with an official announcement on Sunday.

8 years, similar contract to Barkov's with Florida. Runs to his late 30s. Hopefully these 8 year extensions pan out for the teams.

Exactly, and yet they're handing them out like there's no tomorrow lately, especially to defence men.

Pens missing their 2 horses.

**hotcross** · 10-12-21, 03:24 PM

I'm thinking PITT @ TB will go Under 6

So that's probably wrong....

**Stallion** · 10-12-21, 05:46 PM

I can't believe the Pens not only won but kicked the Lightning ass on a night where they celebrated back to back cups in their home arena in front of fans for the first time in two years. I didn't see that coming but I guess I really should've treaded lightly tonight betting NHL since it's early in the season and we don't know how these teams are going to play yet.

I usually consider going with a team that is playing their first game without a key player, especially when it's all over the news. I balked here though because it was 2 key players.

I considered fading last year's champs, but ended up laying off due to Pittsburgh missing 2 key players.

**Stallion** · 10-13-21, 06:55 PM

Pittsburgh played well, I parlayed TB and VGK.

**yisman** · 10-13-21, 10:04 PM

rangers immediately wanted to fight, and the penalties put them in a hole they couldn't recover from

**jrgum3** · 10-14-21, 12:49 AM

Well I took another beating tonight with my hockey bets so I'm probably going to scale back my action in the NHL until we see more of these teams. I was just so excited to get started betting hockey because it's quickly become one of my favorite sports to bet on but after these first two days and not winning a single bet I've got to be more selective with which games I bet I think.

They definitely wanted to leave their mark and make a statement, but need to stay out of penalty box.

**Checkerboard** · 10-14-21, 06:49 AM

Goalie Campbell played well staving off an aggressive start by the Canadiens, and Nylander scored the winner in the Leafs' 2-1 win over Habs.

Next up home and home series starting Thursday in Ottawa.

Toronto fans are back: 18,500 attendance.

The Kracken are going to be a very competitive team this season. They have strong defense and goal tending which are key to a winning team.

**Stallion** · 10-15-21, 07:58 PM

You have to wait and see how teams play before making any bets.

**Checkerboard** · 10-15-21, 11:07 PM

Toronto biggest favorite tomorrow (Saturday), hosting Ottawa.
