Re: Vrana, the athletic hockey show podcast had an interview with chris therein on december 20th talking about his time in hockey and his struggles with substance abuse. Near the end he was talking about the player assistance program, and lamented that a player who had just gotten out of the program had essentially told him that after you exit the support completely ends. basically tell you to go to meetings and that's that
given the timing, it was almost certainly vrana he was talking about.
just interesting.

What are the Kraken going to do with two not great goalies going forward? Asking as a new fan, is this normal?

not having good goal tending is an essential part of the NHL fan experience, unless you are one of like 3-4 lucky franchises

detroit is in that mushy middle of teams that is nowhere near bad enough to get a good shot at a high draft pick and nowhere near good enough to contend for a playoff spot.
they have a lot of good prospects but no one that really projects as a game breaking player. they desperately need a tage thompson like scenario to emerge otherwise i dont think they are making the playoffs for at least 3 more years

I heard somewhere that Tochett needs to give 4 weeks notice or such and that's why they won't fire Bruce until then

so just fire bruce and have an assistant interim and then hire tochett. its not like you're all that worried about losing games.
once it got out that they were hiring tochett its just cruel to keep bruce in the job

someone help me understand

the canucks season is lost, they arent making the playoffs. the best case for them is essentially the best bedard ticket they can get. bruce was losing games and taking the heat for that. Why not just keep him and fire him in the off season?

Instead you turned Bruce into a martyr of sorts, all while destroying even further your relationship with the fanbase and your reputation with the rest of the league. All so you can hire rich tochett, who despite being a thoroughly mediocre to bad coach, might activate the "new coach" bounce for a bit, making your lottery odds worse.

i dont understand

i mean im sure GMs reach out to other candidates while they currently have an HC so that they can fire the HC and have a new guy come in.
what they dont do is publicly say they are reaching out to other candidates and have basically the entire hockey world know who the replacement is for 2 weeks before firing the guy
again, who cares if tochett couldnt coach for a couple of weeks? Oh no, the assistant might lose games!

If you told me hockey players were the least educated of all pro sports athletes I would believe you 100%. Only a handful have ever actually completed their secondary, let alone post-secondary, education.

there was an athletic mailbag the golden knights beat writer ran the other day. some reader wanted to know what books the players were reading for some reason.

Jonathan marchessault told the beat writer hes only ever read 1 book. "a harry potter book"
