This dude is comedy gold.
On the other hand, I seriously cannot listen to a word coming out of Mik ever again. No, I don't care if he's a good person or whatever.
Get this guy OUT of the team.

Really bad look for Hronek. Just awful
Hoglander:
-coaches helped him out a lot this year
Di Giuseppe:
-has family helping out with the baby so he's sleeping quite a bit
-learned a lot about himself
-was like nothing he ever experienced
-"I want to play more of those games" in reference to the playoffs
Mikheyev:
-when he came back he felt good; gained confidence
-says "it's coming"
-need to focus on what he could do and mentions PK
Juulsen:
-staying healthy was a big thing for him
-play for the crest on the front of the jersey
-could feel the energy in the city again
-coaches helped him out a lot this year

He was being an entitled asshole, while having no business to be an entitled asshole.
Silovs sounds like he's about to cry.
Hold your head high kid! You were un, be, F****ING, lievable! You are the story of our playoffs this year. You are the f***ing KING.

For those wondering, I texted my wife (a doctor, who I'm still working on converting to a full time hockey fan 
) after hearing about the Petey injury with this: "what kind of knee injury would allow a guy to still skate but hurts a ton?"
Her answer was "probably a meniscus tear"
Don't take my word for it, she's internal med, not sports medicine, but that's all the insight I got there.
Hronek's interview annoyed me, JPat's question was completely in-line. Everyone else got asked questions about their contract, Hronek was the only guy who was an ass about it.
I'm gonna miss big Z a ton if they don't bring him back too, what an absolute beauty.

My Coles Notes:
Pettersson has an injured knee and Filip Hronek is a prick.

Thanks, was about to ask.

only Benning is dumb enough to be honest all the time. You don't build in excuses for players who are banged up.
And what else is he gonna say yes i'm 100% healthy the fanbase would be mortified if so.
The bigger issue is how many times can you fall on that skinny knee before it's wrecked
And sure it explains some of the loss in shot power and explosiveness but Pettersson is his own boss and if he's playing needs to be accountable you cant just have horrendous body language look paused out and be stand offish.
I'll keep saying this i think he will bounce back stronger and more mature.
Mentioned Allvin and Tocchet. Not sure about anyone else.

Give Zadorov his term at $4.5M AAV please.
One minor correction: Commando Dimbo isn't honest ALL the time, but he just doesn't know when to lie and when to be honest.
It's like saying the quiet part loud and the loud part quiet, all day, everyday.
Yeah no you can't have someone like that anywhere NEAR a microphone lol, let alone the team's GM and speaker.

I kind of get the impression Lindholm wants to make something work, and may be willing to take a discount.

I'm sorry, he might be young and have some upside but fire Hronek into the sun. Get that miserable asshole off the team and use whatever inflated salary to get a top six winger and wait for Willander to develop. Use a stopgap at RHD if you need to, F that guy.

Same here. He's always upfront and honest when he speaks.
We have barely seen or heard from him. I'm hoping he hasn't been sucked into a bubble or something.

I suspect he'll do his usual media rounds in the coming weeks. He can't stay silent for long.
