'ARE YOU INSANE?': NHL fans blast Florida Panthers over outrageous Game 6 ticket prices ahead of potential Stanley Cup win
The Florida Panthers are on the verge of making history, but for many fans, the cost of witnessing a potential back-to-back Stanley Cup victory in person is nothing short of shocking. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now As the team prepares to host the Edmonton Oilers in a decisive Game 6 at Amerant Bank Arena, a wave of backlash is building over the sky-high ticket prices for the marquee matchup. With prices topping $3,000, fans question if loyalty is being priced out of the Stanley Cup Finals experience According to a post by Five Reasons Sports on X (formerly Twitter), ticket prices for Game 6 are starting at a staggering $944 and climbing well beyond $3,000 for premium seating. While upper-level seats remain just under the $1,000 mark, fans are finding it difficult to justify the hefty price tags. The caption on the viral post summed up the sentiment: 'It's a bit pricy to watch the Panthers win another Stanley Cup…' Many fans are choosing to support their team from home or bars rather than shell out thousands. One user echoed this frustration, writing, 'I saw that this morning and decided I'll be watching from home or at a bar.' Another added sarcastically, 'Bruh what? Is Messi playing or something?'—highlighting the disbelief over the pricing for a hockey game. One Oilers fan shared, 'Flying down from Vancouver with row 1 club seats. Weren't cheap,' while another seemed resigned to both the financial hit and a loss, writing, 'Well, all those ppl are going to be disappointed.' "Husband: we could get $5k for our 2 seats and pay for next year if we sell them Me: ARE YOU INSANE? There's a number but knowone would pay it for me to not go to game 6 lol", another commented. This isn't the first time NHL teams have come under fire for capitalizing on historic or emotional moments. Earlier this year, the New York Islanders faced backlash for charging $45 to print digital tickets during Alex Ovechkin's record-breaking goal night. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Also Read: Now, with emotions high and stakes higher, the Florida Panthers are being accused of turning their championship run into a luxury experience, leaving many longtime supporters feeling left out. Whether fans are being priced out or it's just the market at work, one thing is clear—Game 6 won't come cheap.

Washington Capitals say no decision yet on Alex Ovechkin's future after email from sales staffer goes viral
Washington Capitals left wing Alex Ovechkin scores a goal in the second period against the New York Islanders at UBS Arena. The goal was the 895th of Ovechkin's career, breaking the NHL all-time career goals record. - Geoff Burke/Imagn Images/Reuters The Washington Capitals knocked down reports that next year will be NHL all-time leading goal scorer Alexander Ovechkin's last in the league, saying no decision has been made on the Russian's future. Multiple outlets quickly jumped on an email sent by a member of the team's corporate sales staff that said the 2025-2026 season would be Ovechkin's last in the league. As the claim went viral on social media, the team said the email was sent in error. Advertisement 'No decision has been made on Alex Ovechkin's future following the 2025-26 NHL season,' the team's public relations account said on X. 'An email was sent from an individual with the corporate sales department that mistakenly alluded to next year being Alex Ovechkin's final year.' Ovechkin will be 40 years old when the next NHL season begins in the fall and he'll be entering his 21st season in the league, all with the Capitals. He's also entering the final year of a five-year contract he signed in 2021. That contract ending, coupled with him breaking the record for most goals scored in NHL history in the spring, has led to much speculation about the Russian star's future. Ovechkin said after the Capitals' loss in the playoffs that he was not planning to retire after this season. When asked on May 17 about whether he would plan for the 2025-2026 season to be his last in Washington, Ovechkin was noncommittal. Advertisement 'To be honest with you, I haven't thought about it yet. But we'll see what's going to happen. Obviously, I'm going to do my best to be able to do well next year and … we'll see,' he said. Ovechkin made history this season by passing Wayne Gretzky's seemingly unbreakable record for goals during his career. He ended the season with 897 career goals, scoring 44 on the year. It's an even more remarkable number when factoring in his lengthy time off the ice due to a leg injury. He has never scored fewer than 31 goals in a full season – he scored 24 in the Covid-19-shortened 2020-21 season – and has scored more than 40 goals in 14 seasons. Ovechkin won the Stanley Cup with the Capitals in the 2017-2018 season. For more CNN news and newsletters create an account at

'Greatest player I've ever watched': Fans excited as Connor McDavid passes Alex Ovechkin for playoff points in record time
Connor McDavid (via Getty Images) Connor McDavid has officially passed Alex Ovechkin in NHL playoff points—and did so in jaw-dropping style. The Edmonton Oilers captain reached this benchmark in 69 fewer games than the Washington Capitals icon, further propelling discussions of his status among the all-time greats. During a playoff season dominated by his play, Connor McDavid's latest feat has enthusiasts and experts both lauding his otherworldly consistency and production. Connor McDavid's playoff points jump over Alex Ovechkin , fueling GOAT debates In what one can say is one of the most dominating playoff performances in recent NHL history, Connor McDavid has passed Alex Ovechkin in career postseason points, despite playing many fewer games. Whereas Alex Ovechkin, with his goal-scoring ability, has had a legendary playoff career, Connor McDavid's speed and points-per-game average are leaving people agog in the hockey world. As has been noted in a recent fan conversation, not only are Connor McDavid's statistics surpassing legends such as Alex Ovechkin, but they are also putting him in rare company with Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux, the only two players to have higher playoff point-per-game averages. As one Reddit user commented, "INSANE!!! I think maybe only Gretzky and Lemieux had better PPG playoff stats." undefined 'At 28? Incredible,' another said. Redditors reacted with a combination of admiration and amusement. One said, "He's playing NHL25 on PlayStation while everyone else is on Nintendo playing 'Blades of Steele' lol." Another commented, "You can easily see that McDavid has surpassed Ovechkin's POINT TOTAL in less GAMES PLAYED. He is out producing Ovechkin at nearly double the pace. If McDavid never played another playoff game for the rest of his career, he would retire with a higher number of points, and higher PPG than Ovechkin." While some commenters brought up the different scoring eras, the overall consensus was clear—McDavid is doing things few have ever done. A fan summed it up best: 'Greatest player I've ever watched." Also read: Sam Bennett makes it personal with childhood friend Connor McDavid as Stanley Cup turns fierce While Ovechkin is one of the best goal-scorers in history, McDavid is building a legacy based on universal domination. If he keeps going this way and continues making long runs in the playoffs, it isn't crazy to consider that he can break records that used to be thought of as unbeatable. And as people are now remarking, it's not McDavid's era. It may one day be his league.
