The 2025-26 regular season can't come soon enough. Vegas Golden Knights fans can't wait to see their newest toy, Mitch Marner, take the ice with the gang. They also can't wait for Toronto Maple Leafs fans to melt down over the latest NHL 26 trailer.
Believe it or not, Marner's actually playing against his old club in the trailer. Around the 1:16 mark, you can see the newest winger get one up on his former club.
They really put Mitch Marner in a Golden Knights' jersey scoring on the Leafs in the NHL 26 trailer. π₯²

Isn't that such a beautiful sight? It's like unwrapping a Christmas gift and finding a Nintendo 64 with Mario Kart 64. It's enough to make a grown man cry.
Of course, Golden Knights fans were expecting the Maple Leafs fans to crash out like they lost to an emergency backup goaltender. Some were even calling it on the former bird app.
Danny chose violence on this fine Wednesday. The Leafs fans crash outs coming any minute now ππ https://t.co/2qNNMa1B52

Ah, just imagine how people in Ontario are reacting to watching that trailer. I can imagine the screams of the goaltender needing to tend the goal from my bathroom. Someone check on Steve Dangle and see if he's recovered from his anersyum.
Yep, I can hear the blood boiling all the way from Las Vegas. Here comes another YouTube video! I can sense it all the way from my shower.
All joking aside, it's shaping up to be a wonderful 2025-26 season for the Golden Knights. Having Marner in tow alongside Jack Eichel will make for entertaining hockey. It'll also catapult Vegas into the Stanley Cup contender conversation, much to the chagrin of 31 other fan bases.
As for January 23, 2026? Get your popcorn ready. It's going to be a doozy. The NHL 26 trailer might be icing on the cake. But that cake is set to serve the whole block, dear reader. Hockey season can't come soon enough.
