General 2021-2022 NHL Season Thread

[Speaker to Animals]

Crosby was the biggest star.
Boogard was still alive. Thornton was rough.
Datsyuk could pick your pocket. His shootout goals were amazing too.
A few other names that are now Red Wings players.

Well, since I shared an Alex Stalock highlight reel, why not share Seattle’s first starting goalie. Here’s Phillip Grubauer’s 2019-2020 top 10 saves:

When mental health and NHL have a crossover. Seattle Kraken’s Riley Sheahan has a mental health podcast. Just giving the first episode a listen right now.

I myself, as some of you know, suffer from anxiety and depression. So I always think it’s pretty cool to hear professional athletes come out and talk about their experiences with it. A lot of people look at athletes like they’re superheroes, and this is something that shows that they are just like all of us. They’re just really good at their respective sports.

Possibly stupid question.

Standing in front of the net as a defenseman, seeing a shot coming, raising your stick to deflect it away... doesn't that present a roughly equal chance of causing what you'd hoped to prevent, i.e. the goalie can't follow it as it goes in?

Ideally they’ll be in a position to not obstruct goalies view of play and to punish opposition for getting too close.
