5-1 Condors, final in Bakersfield. I guess Sam Harvey alternates between shutouts and allowing 5 goals. Only Barracuda goal was actually scored by Steenn Pasichnuk.
Not blaming Harvey for anything though, Barracuda just looked tired. Was only half paying attention to the game in the background with the Sharks on, but the Condors were just outworking them every time I looked over.

The Barracuda wanted the draw to go all the way down to the other end on an intentional offside. When the linesman signaled for the draw just outside the zone, Kniazev sent the puck down to the other end anyway.
I noticed later in the 3rd that Kniazev ended up with the puck after a whistle and very deliberately handed it to that linesman.
Barracuda lose 4-2 despite putting 40 shots on goal, but it's not like they were 40 quality shots. Felt like we were the better team tonight, though.
Thought San Diego's GWG was a bit of a weak one to give up, Harvey just didn't have the post covered:
Barracuda actually had two separate 5 on 3s and scored on one of them. Goals were from McGrew and Blichfeld.

What an embarrassing organization from top to bottom. Well past time to fire everyone.

Barracuda’s Hrabik suspended 30 games
Three games served already. Eligible to return April 3.
He's on an AHL SPC.

That's basically the rest of the season anyway, I'd imagine he's done here.

Even ignoring the fact that you just shouldnt be racist, why would you do this when you basically know it will end your career these days? Extremely stupid

In case anyone wants specifics.
Absolutely stupid move by a fringe AHLer. He's been scratched the past three games (because of this, obviously) and I'd just assumed it was because the team had realized he wasn't contributing much of anything apart from being huge.

Per Cuda statement, he was removed from team activities immediately after being informed by league this had happened

What an idiot. Especially in this day and age I can't imagine having the idea travel from your brain to your limbs without every fiber of your being screaming "holy shit this is a terrible idea that can't end any way but badly and makes me look like a scumbag of a person, so I probably shouldn't do it."
And even if we play the "he grew up in the Czech Republic where racism isn't a front-of-public-consciousness issue so he lacks comprehension of the societal weight and significance" (and ignore that being a decent person should not depend on place of origin), he's played in North America for like 4 and a half years. He's surely seen enough to get the context necessary.
Yes, because what matters in this situation is pushing your agenda about how awful the org is. Jesus christ.

Seriously grasping at straws here, the team took immediate action and I'm positive he will be gone from the team as soon as they legally can. These takes are like milk that's been left out in the hot sun for a week at this point

So I guess you're saying there should be no consequences for the people who brought this idiot into the organization and are obviously not doing enough to make it clear to their players that racism is unacceptable. Good to know.

This is a good point. My gut inclination was to defend him on this point...Afro-Europeans (at least on the mainland) aren't really a thing so most people don't have the context of dealing with racial sensitivity.
But Hrabik has been here for quite a while and should have picked up on it.

On a side note: Pay-per-view 2 Ex-Barradudas players will meet in an MMA ring to hash out their differences in sensitivity training. Rumor #9 vs #83

I noted it as a possible defence but I don't believe it actually is one. Because regardless of whether or not you are exposed to a multicultural society growing up, part of any person's social education should be the basic concept of decency. The baseline expectation of any well-adjusted person should be not to insult someone for an immutable physical or social difference such as race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, religion (in the context of being born into a family or grouping that is largely identified as belonging to a particular faith regardless of how devout any individual member is or isn't), etc.
There may not be many black people in the Czech Republic, but it shouldn't take interacting with people of other races on the regular to know that demeaning another human being as if they're less than human for any reason is repulsive and inexcusable behavior. And it's not like the Czech Republic is a monochromatic country anyway. They have a decent sized East Asian population (Mongolian, Vietnamese, Chinese) and would have some manner of ethnic and religious distinction. Hell, their country is itself founded in part on the dissolution of Czechoslovakia on (at least partially) the grounds of the ethnic differences between Czechs and Slovaks.
In the end ignorance is not an excuse for a lack of decency. But in this case it's even less of one because of Hrabik's integration into North American society.

They should suspend the social staff for centering that text

it’s 2022, you’d think that with all the strides we’ve made as a society they would know better. Simply shameful.

I rather prefer centering than justify right! But you are right, the LEFT is the BEST! ;-)
