So I just thought of something I have never thought of before. Gourde just blocked a shot on a wide open net. Does he get a save on the stat sheet? Does the goalie get credit for the save?
My guess = blocked shot. No goalie save credit. (And no SOG; just a “chance for” for Corsi /Fenwick)

How to get off Tort’s shit list per Tyson Foerster:

Score two goals in two shifts after taking a dumb penalty lol.

(Related: Flyers seem to have a lot of talent but results are mid…why?)

The Kraken announcers were making comment on about how difficult it is being a young high draft pick these days (talking about expectations and pressure from pre-draft onwards) compared to back in Jeremy Roenick's day.
While I'm not sure you'd get candid answers from the current guys, it would be great to get interviews from both past and current players about how things have changed. I can only imagine how the rise of the internet, 3rd party scouting services, social media and advanced gambling have turned being a highly touted draft pick from something awesome into something that I would imagine many players really don't enjoy.

Also refreshing hearing Gourde say they just played a terrible and unacceptable period, and that they weren't good enough.

I'm not a pissed as I've seen people. I like the later picks. We draft well later and Bor sounds like he can skate at least. Need to se him play obviously.
I agree about the later picks which is why i was hoping for more late picks

Just like Laf.
Howden is better than Laf and many others at this point lol isn't it ironic don't you think?
