Nick Mercadante @nmercad.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Do I think the Rangers are contenders? No. But do I think they’ll be competitive in most games? Also no. But do I think this might be the year some of these guys really take the next step in their development? Absolutely not. 3170

It proposed the largest cut in NASA’s history, about a quarter of the agency and half of its science programs. But last month, a groundbreaking telescope left the launch pad anyway.

Nick Mercadante @nmercad.bsky.social · 21/09/2026That injury just gave me ptsd from when I dislocated my elbow slamming down on the ice on a failed faceoff in a very similar way. One of the most painful, gross injuries I’ve experienced. Literally made a guy on our bench get nauseous and vomit. 000

Nick Mercadante @nmercad.bsky.social · 19/09/2026I highly recommend listening to Duncan Sheik’s self-titled debut (not just Barely Breathing).
