    So about 22 hours from now and we’ll know who Vegas will be playing in the west. Regardless of the outcome, pretty awesome to be one of the last 5 teams in our second season.

    Yes it’s impressive. Vegas in their very first season making it to the Stanley Cup final vs Caps was also impressive.
    No offense but I think the league rules on the players expansion teams are allowed to take from other teams is a bit too generous.

    True in many ways, but Vegas still had a much better start to their franchise in terms of the way they were able to manipulate their draft in ways the Kraken were not.
    https://soundofhockey.com/2021/08/02/deconstructing-the-expansion-draft-vegas-versus-seattle/amp/
    Was Seattle able to get talent from every team in the league? Yes. Did we get the second overall pick and take Matty Beneirs, who’ll win the Calder trophy? Yes.

    Seattle was panned heavily for not picking up the talent Vegas did. It’s not like Ron Francis wouldn’t have taken more talented players, but they definitely weren’t available the way they were to Vegas.

    That and Hakstol was universally panned as a shitty coach and everyone was saying we were trying to build through the draft by being shitty to get high first round picks.

    It’s pretty ridiculous to listen to everyone change their tune now. Now all the sudden we had an unfair advantage.

    I’d also argue that of every player we picked up, most of them weren’t top billed, and most of them have had a better season statistically than they did on their last team. There are exceptions such as Jordan Eberle, Oliver Bjorkstrand and Jaden Schwartz, but those guys have still been major contributors, especially in the playoffs. Guys like Jared McCann, Vince Dunn, Branden Tanev, Eele Tolvannen (who was picked up by Seattle off waivers after 23 other teams passed on him), have all had more success here because they weren’t playing behind other stars and buried on a team with weak 3rd and 4th lines.

    To be fair, the fact that I was required to have multiple streaming service subscriptions to watch the Red Wings (other teams in the same boat) doesn't help. Major carriers stopped carrying FSN just before Bally Sports took over. It wasn't until this season that Bally even had a subscription service available and even then it was $20 per month. Unsurprisingly they filed for bankruptcy.

    I went to game 1 of the WHL finals on Friday. No clutching, no grabbing, no cheap shots or goonery. Just an actual game of hockey. I'd rather watch that than whatever the hell the NHL is trying to promote in their playoffs.

    The article is an interesting read. Makes sense that the teams were less likely to make trade deals after Vegas rocketed. But also Ron Francis is less likely the type to select or trade for players with big contracts.
    My beef with expansion rules is the limited number of players a team can protect. Teams had to chose between protecting proven players or younger players with potential.
    One aside we haven’t mentioned is that some very good players who weren’t protected weren’t happy about that and had something to prove with their new teams. That certainly was the case at Vegas.

    Has that been a consistency the whole season long though that you could watch games on this NHL webcast? I haven’t seen that, I was watching games on Root at the beginning of the year and then when the Kraken actually started to surprise people that’s when I felt like they were picking up more ESPN games and TNT games and Apple TV games. I had no idea about this webcast, but it wouldn’t surprise me this just came around as an option to watch the Kraken during the playoffs or as they became more relevant.

    From what I’ve read, this is a nationwide thing where hockey fans are irritated they can’t watch games from other markets, and it’s really hard to watch a game, consistently, in your own house, without being forced to watch on a bunch of different platforms

    My concern with bootleg streaming sites is it could allow access to your computer, opening you up to data and identity theft etc.

    Perhaps a valid concern, I'm an IT Administrator by trade though and it has aroused no suspicion on my end. I run my normal uBlock Origin ad and tracking blocker (and it doesn't pick up on anything beyond normal ads) and watch the regular stream (not the HD one, the regular stream is HD anyway). I can cast it right to my TV so I can tell the actual provided stream is from an unencumbered source, when you cast a video source it only points the TV to the video stream itself. The site requires no interaction from the user really either, no account creation or sign in with google/facebook/etc. I won't say it's 100% safe the same way I won't say PayPal is 100% safe, but it isn't of any concern IMHO.

    I think it's bullshit that Larsson left Edmonton to go to Seattle. I understand that it was his personal decision and I understand why he did it but it still sucks for Oilers fans.
