The air is getting colder, the skates are being sharpened, and across the National Hockey League, hope springs eternal. But in the Metropolitan Division, that hope comes in vastly different shades. Once a Murderer’s Row of perennial contenders, the Metro enters the 2025-26 season as a study in contrasts—a top-heavy battleground where a clear line has been drawn in the sand.

Sidney Crosby Pittsburgh Penguins

Is Sidney Crosby’s Future With the Penguins No Longer a Foregone Conclusion?

For two decades, the idea was pure sacrilege. It was the hockey equivalent of suggesting the sky is green or that a hot dog is a sandwich—a debate-starter so absurd it was hardly worth entertaining. Sidney Crosby, wearing anything but the black and gold of the Pittsburgh Penguins, was a fantasy reserved for video games and the most delusional corners of rival fanbases. He was their Mario Lemieux, their franchise messiah, destined to begin and end his storied career in the Steel City. But the unthinkable is now thinkable.
