After that performance, Mrasek should get the Hawks a 19th round draft pick in the year 2050

The Hawks won by period, 2:1, so that's something.

NHL records set tonight:
Fastest 5 goals
7 - 0 road trio
Eddie Olczyk doesn't mention soft serve
Edit: So I either mis-heard, or the Seattle broadcast team mis-led. Wasn't fastest 5 goals in history, not really even close

had a visitor again, hence my lack of posting.
good for isaak phillips...like was said, he's gaining confidence. nice to see a draft pick brought up the right way. twitter is awash right now, people genuinely pissed off that reichel was sent back down. myself, i got zero problem at all with it.
bright side to this game? well, we outscored them 4-2 in the final 40 minutes and the PP was 2 for 2 and isaak's goal...that's about it. oh, and kane looked like he was moving okay. his 7 shots was 3 better than anyone from either team. i think i was the most pissed off this game when domi had a beautiful chance to shoot but deferred for some fckn' reason. maybe if kane wasn't playing he would've shot? i bet he would've. and i'm not blaming kane here at all to be clear.
anyways, looking fwd to seeing the sabres next game.

Just going by what Olczyk said. Former record held by Pittsburgh. Seems the Seattle announcers were wrong |

Just going by what Olczyk said. Former record held by Pittsburgh. Seems the Seattle announcers were wrong if i did the math right, the 5 markers took just 3:41...good for 15th best ever. tbh i'm a bit surprised how many teams have done it faster. edzo was right, it was a penguin's record, 5 goals in 2:07 in 72/73....well before mario and jagr played there surprisingly enough. |

they mentioned on the broadcast about seattle picking up eeli toivanen off waivers from nashville. former 2017 first rounder.
decent pickup it seems. 5g, 2a and a +6 in 9 games so far with the kraken.
before that with nashville he 135 games, 25g and 26a and a -17.

Bingo. Better him playing top line minutes in Rockford with a chance to actually win something than tanking. And I agree about this deferring to Kane. Its gotta stop. at some point, there won't be a Kane to defer to. |

1st time this season I'm picking the Hawks to win. Why? Seattle just shutout Boston in Boston. This many times leads to an epic letdown the next game played, especially when it's against a team they should beat. Hoping I'm wrong, but thinking the Hawks win their 4th in a row. I'm kinda feeling the same thing here. An unfortunate W.

Once again,an unspectacular scoresheet for a VERY spectacular,record-breaking ending to a 7-0-0 road trip,Seattle might possess the best 'team' game in the league at the moment. A slight edge in shots and FO's but the Hawks went 2/2 on the PP and killed both they faced,out-hit em 26-17,10 blocks to 5,and 15 takeaways to 9 and only McCann had more than 3 points with his 'hatie'. It didn't matter and the game only became competitive after the 'Krak' went up 6-1 after one and took their road-weary' foot off the gas.
That team is DEAD ASS serious,very disciplined,well coached and surprisingly well put together after only a year and a half. McCann was an excellent expansion pick and a smart,fairly short 5yr re-do,Burakovsky was also a smart and fairly short,5yr FA signing,Eberly was a handy expansion draft 'get' himself,with only a year left on his deal too,Jaden Schwartz was a needed vet,FA signing but 3 left @5.5M is less than ideal @30 but it won't hurt em either.
Their D consists of 6 players taken in the expansion draft and another smart,short,2X3M FA signing in Justin Schultz. The thing about this D-core is,they find themselves in a very good,well coached system that allows them to play to the strengths.
Grubauer's signed for four more @5.9M and look for his numbers to revert to career norms before long.
Their future includes Beniers who doesn't turn 21 till November,Shane Wright,who looks like a young stud,three draft picks(2 forwards,1 D-man)coming off very good CHL careers and nine picks in the first three rounds of the next two drafts.......including both 1st's and three 2nd's in this summer's deep draft.
I criticized their handling of Wright and the burning of a year of his ELC earlier in the year but who TF am I to question Francis!!! They purposely burned a year of Berniers' ELC last year too,giving him the necessary 10 starts. I questioned KD doing the same with Reichel this year too,but I think we'll see more GM's do the same with 'high-ceiling',young players,resulting in getting to that 2nd deal sooner with a max deal to follow vs a bridge deal as we're now seeing around the league.
The Seattle Kraken will see Driedger's 3.5M come off their books in two years when they'll have 14 players signed and 20M in cap-space to go along with those nine 1st-3rd round picks they still have. This is absolutely sustainable!

What both new teams have built gives me some hope to be honest jack. Five of Seattle's six starting D-men that shut-out the Bruins in Boston last week came in the expansion draft and the other one was a good,cheap FA signing.......six of their seven D-men were actually unprotected,expansion picks. This shows a few vet D-men could be available to add to 3-4 good D-prospects when the time is right........Seattle and LV also show us THAT time shouldn't be that long when the right decisions are made too. Our young GM will be put to the test but he has a lot of assets now........if he passes his tests,the team improves and does so fairly quickly. |

listening to friedman's latest podcast, he said that 5 on 5, the kraken (so far this season) have an 11.2 shooting percentage. he said since the league started keeping track of that stat (since 2009/10), the best team shooting percentage belonged to the leafs in 12/13 (48 game season) who had a 10.7% season. the best 5 on 5 shooting percentage over an 82 game season belonged to the blues last season at 10.6%. so the kraken this year so far are having a phenomenal year shooting 5 on 5.
i remember colby cohen pregame against seattle saying he thought the kraken would miss the playoffs this year. not sure i'd go that far but i could see them tailing off some if their shooting cools off. that and their goaltending...i could definitely see them dropping in the standings.
watch them win the cup now...

Some big time trades for expensive players that were gambles.....but it is Vegas and a lot of injuries to those expensive players too but they've stayed competitive throughout and lead their division a point back for the conference. |

I don't see how that shooting % doesn't average out in general and the better teams will get more serious and more defensive as the push for a spot or position becomes more intense, but they also have room for improvement. I didn't check but pretty sure I heard their special teams are average at best and Grubauer should reel-in that .888SV% too if things average out. .500 hockey from here on out gets em 94pts and that should get em in out west. |
