We’re nearing the end folks. Finally.
Kraken are decent and may be still playing for a playoff spot? Or they’re in already and trying for a better position. They’ll come to play at least.
Krackwhores 7 Hawks 1

The Kraken have clinched.
EDIT: so the Hawks can actually win this game, especially if Seattle rests some players or distributes ice time more evenly

Seattle can still catch LAK though so I’d think they’ll still be playing all regulars?

Blown out 7-3 by Seattle...just doesn't sit well...i know it is a positive in the bigger picture, but it is hard to take seriously a team with Jordan Eberle as your best player...and Martin Jones and Phil Grubauer in net...
MCCann and Dunn are having huge seasons but...ugh...

Hawks defense stunk. Especially Tinordi and brother Caleb.
Mrasuck is Mrasuck. I don't even expect him to make any good saves anymore. He did have maybe one good one. Whatever.
A shame about the Khaira goal. The Hawks had momentum and just seemed to have made it 4-5. The offside review was super quick and it was never truly shown what had happened. They just showed a still of the puck on the blueline, while I believe it was moving backwards away from the goal. Which means it may have been in the zone before the player or maybe it was in there before but got moved back to the blueline and no offside. Whatever. It didn't decide the game.
Eddie Olczyk was such a little bitch all broadcast. I was initially not emotionally involved at all, because the game doesn't really matter to the Hawks. And I didn't have golf to watch anyway. But Edzo complaining about Hawks taking liberties when they were playing good hard hockey was ridiculous. And the best part was when Murphy dropped the gloves and Edzo goes "he was lucky Vince Dunn didn't feel like fighting". LOL
The hypocrisy of him of all people calling for guys to go to the net (and then applauding himself when it results in greasy goals) is only second to Jeff O'Neill on TSN.
What a wanker.

The long time NHL fan in me says that doesn’t and shouldn’t happen, but that’s the new NHL. Also for me 7-3 isn’t even a weird score anymore. A few years ago it Would have been real anomaly. Not now, with Scoring back at the mid 70s to Mid 80s levels. I like it but I wish the media wouldn’t pretend it’s never happened before.

I happily had the NBCSN broadcast. Haven’t heard much of Eddie this year. Sad if it was that bad. Stalock can come back but agreed, Mrasuck is exactly what I expected for this year and the perfect goalie to help a tank. He’s terrible. Huet would have had. Couple of those today, in his current shape.

I don't know, I watched the Jets-Predators game before I watched this one and that one had playoff atmosphere. Guys were checking hard and no quarter was given. This here was just a sloppy game in Seattle. A little bit of heat in the second period with Murph trying to behead Jesper Froden, but other than that it was a quiet night.

I wonder if KD will buyout Mrazek. Stalock can come back on another one year deal. Let Soderblom and Stauber battle for the number 1 role. Then you have Basse and Commesso for Rockford potentially. I think Commesso can return to college for one more year but Hawks need to make a decision on Basse.

I think I'd rather they keep Mrasuck and let him suffer through what should be another terrible year next season.
If he's going to be healthy more than five games at a time, that is.
Spot the kids a few games here and there when Mrasuck and Stalock get hurt, which they will.

Maybe KD can swing another draft day deal picking up a goalie contract for a 1st again. Then you can buy out Mrasuck since Hawks won’t be hurting for cap space. Mrasuck’s buyout should be 1.5ish for the next two years? That’s reasonable.

KD seems to have a good relationship with the Loafs. Matt Murray’s contract only runs through next season. Seems like an obvious target. Not sure what the Leafs have left to trade though.
Just checked. Leafs have Boston’s first in 2023. Probably could swing another Mrasuck deal sending the Hawks that while the Hawks give the Loafs one of their second rounders in 2023. Essentially move up a round to get help with cap floor situation.
