Yeesh.

Pat Falloon should have been so much more.

I had never heard of Dale Derkatch, so I looked him up. Drafted in 83 in the 7th round by Edmonton then went straight to Europe. Imagine the leading scorer in a major junior league falling to the 7th round now.

McKenna's consecutive game point streak is now at 33 games...That's pretty impressive.

Somebody is going to get a really good player in the 2026 entry draft.

What a sad, pathetic existence Ryan Whitney leads...Even if he's trying to be funny (and I don't think he is), it's weak sauce.

Whitneys a twat for sure but reading the replies and the back and forth it seems like hes a fan of Gavin and is “sad” he’s canadian

ie McKenna will help ensure the USA will be second best for the foreseeable future lol

Speaking of McKenna, he just scored a goal against the Oil Kings to extend his point streak to 35 games.

Big comeback win for the Tigers tonight with the Hitmen hot on their heels and playing their 3rd game in three nights. Down 3-1 in period 2, the Tigers score four unanswered goals to win 5-3. McKenna with a three point night (2 goals and 1 apple).

Hey @BGDave , you should be excited about Tanner Molendyk, he's going to be a good one for Nashville...

First time I heard it but there is talk McKenna will go to the NCAA next season ... so this is the CHLs response ... scheduling Medicine Hat games in Gavins hometown

WHL's Kelowna Rockets, Medicine Hat Tigers to play exhibition games in Yukon

The WHL is going to Whitehorse for the first time since 2011

I wonder if Medicine Hat is awarded the Memorial Cup in 2026 if that makes McKenna's decision to stay with the Tigers a much easier decision. I hope he stays obviously, but I won't be salty if he goes.

Forgot to add that I was think it was a terrible decision to award the Memorial Cup to Kelowna, yeah it sucks for them that COVID cancelled the tourney back in 2020 when they were scheduled to host, but the Rockets are pretty terrible this season and I don't think they will be much better next season. Shouldn't having a really good team be the main priority when it comes to hosting the event?

Oil Kings have taken cheap shots at McKenna all season, if the zebras fail to make calls, can't fault McKenna for taking matters into his own hands...
