https://www.cnbc.com/2025/10/22/nhl-kalshi-polymarket-prediction-market-deals.html The National Hockey League said Wednesday it’s reached a multi-year licensing agreement with prediction markets Kalshi and Polymarket. More sports leagues may be coming soon. Tarek Mansour, Kalsh’si co-founder and CEO, told CNBC’s “Squawk Box” the deal marked a “seminal moment” for prediction markets and the company. “A league like the NHL partnering with us is a strong sign that prediction markets are here to stay,” Mansour said. As part of the NHL deal, Kalshi and Polymarket will gain access to the league’s proprietary data and rights to use NHL marks and logos. In return, Mansour said, the hockey league will get a suite of customer protections. The NHL said both companies will receive brand exposure during broadcasts. Mansour said the NHL deal could be replicated across other leagues: “Be on the lookout for more announcements soon,” he told CNBC. Representatives for the NBA and NFL did not immediately respond to requests for comment. MLB declined to comment. In August, the NFL expressed its concern about prediction markets, which allow customers to trade on the outcomes of events across entertainment and culture like election results or the length of the ongoing government shutdown. Kalshi and other event trading platforms are regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. Yet many states, regulators and tribes are pushing back on prediction markets, arguing they amount to unregulated gambling. Multiple state and federal lawsuits are in progress over the alleged risks.

Interesting. If he does really well then that is a positive. Hope he is ready, we need this win

https://www.nhl.com/sabres/news/how-to-watch-buffalo-sabres-detroit-red-wings-lineup The Buffalo Sabres will be put to the test against one of the league’s hottest early-season teams when the Detroit Red Wings visit KeyBank Center on Wednesday. Detroit sits atop the Atlantic Division at 5-1-0 to begin the season, currently riding a five-game winning streak after dropping its season opener against Montreal. The group has been driven by known commodities (captain Dylan Larkin) and surprising contributors (rookie forward Emmitt Finnie) alike. It will be another opportunity for the Sabres, who bounced back from an 0-3 start with division wins against Ottawa and Florida before losing a competitive game in Montreal on Monday. Zach Benson continued his strong start in the loss to the Canadiens, registering a career-high seven shots while tallying an assist to extend his point streak to three games. He’s one of three players in franchise history to have six assists or more in his first three games of a season, joining Jack Eichel and Thomas Vanek. The puck drops at 7:30 p.m. Here’s what you need to know in the meantime. Larkin was named NHL First Star of the Week on Monday after scoring four goals and nine points in Detroit’s last four wins, including a three-point night in the team’s most recent victory against Edmonton on Saturday. Finnie – a seventh-round draft pick in 2023 who played his way onto the NHL roster in training camp – has opened the season playing on Larkin’s wing, tallying five points (2+3) while applying a hard-nosed, two-way game. Detroit has outscored opponents 7-1 with Larkin and Finnie on the ice at 5-on-5 this season. The duo is now joined by last year’s leading scorer in Lucas Raymond, who missed three games with an injury. The Red Wings will be without another key forward in Patrick Kane, who is out for at least the next two games with an upper-body injury.

Oh well, Rome wern't built in a ***** day either

Mine is back

Yes!!!

Oh BS!! Picking on Benson again

Gotta win the third! So happy Sabres hockey is back

They are playing a good road game

1980 for the trivia answer?

Benson with a beautiful pass

Nice!!!!!!

Oh whatever

you'll miss a good one! Hope you feel better, though

Well, this Dobes clown better be ready to get lit up tonight

Beautiful singing

Are they going to drop the puck? 🤷‍♀️

Go Sabres!!

Just win baby. Get back to .500 and get the two points. If they think Ellis can do that for us, fine. But I'm riding the winning horse for as long as he can carry us.

Machine Wars!

That would be an interesting line. Has to be Geersten, I'd think. Needed him against Florida, Montreal maybe not

Oh, no doubt. But is Ellis better as a backup?
