I remember Tortorella used to have the logo on the floor roped off when media was in the room for this very reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like there is some tape light inside that perimeter of the logo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seagoal Posted July 18, 2021 Author Share Posted July 18, 2021 Alright well the expansion lists are out and here's what I see as intriguing for goalies. Based on just my personal favorites, names/gear I am drawn to here is the my stand out list going down through the teams: Antti Raanta-Arizona Jaro Halak-Boston Petr Mrazek-Carolina Chris Driedger-Florida Jonathan Quck-Los Angeles Carey Price-Montreal Casey Desmith-Pittsburgh David Rittich-Toronto Vitek Vanecek-Washington Here are my 2 real scenarios that I like with 3 goalies: 1. Carey Price, Chris Driedger, Vitek Vanecek 2. Chris Driedger, Petr Mrazek, Vitek Vanecek And a third scenario that will never happen, but I like just because I enjoy these guys: 3. Jaro Halak, Jonathan Quick, Petr Mrazek Word on the street is Driedger is a done deal, he's coming to Seattle. The biggest most looming question is of course: Can/Should we afford Price? At 10M+ and his 11M bonus due this year, he is insanely expensive right now in particular. Seems like the general consensus is no matter how it pans out, Seattle is going to get 3 solid goalies as the depth of the available selections is strong. Other than goalies, my wish list is Max Domi, Vladimir Tarasenko, and Gabriel Landeskog. Can't wait to see this all unfold on Wednesday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seagoal Posted July 20, 2021 Author Share Posted July 20, 2021 If you are a jersey nerd like so many hockey people are (I am not for whatever reason, I only own 1-Tuukka Rask Winter Classic), the Kraken will reveal their dark and white jerseys at the expansion draft tomorrow and they will be on sale September 15. They said their selected players will be there wearing them. I didn't realize they make their picks ahead of the public event and have the players travel to them in advance. I didn't watch the Vegas draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably for the better, I was watching and was pretty unamused by the picks, that is until fleury was picked. But it was cool seeing the whole team together in the jerseys for the first time (even though half of that team played less than a season for VGK - or not at all) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillyGrips13 Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 What he said wasn’t as bad as I expected. Bruce just has an “everyman” style of talking. However, the larger point is valid. How ignorant most people, even within the hockey world are about anything goaltending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaveByRichter35 Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 There is going to be a lot of talent at all positions for Seattle to pick from. Should be very interesting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
