By bad it was Teuvo who stripped the puck. I think Rinzel had one earlier?
He did.
I think Kucherov probably felt pretty bad after the goal against. He was stripped of the puck, he tried to stop the pass to Nazar and missed and then he was slow on the backcheck and Donato beat him to the open ice on the goal.

He is at least top 3 goalie in the NHL so far this season, no question. This has been the biggest improvement for the Hawks year over year. Mrazek when he was on, was never in this category, he was just above average at best. It helps to have a goalie who is legit able to close the gap, he deserves so much credit for the Hawks points in the standings.
It happened a few years back, and I have asked outright as to what exactly I was banned for and they just say post violation. It is not like I call poster’s out but may have educated someone, unless it was president related one in reply.
What I WAS doing is if someone had a prospect opinion near draft time, I did link to many of the draft age players by LINK so I didn’t have to cut/paste AND it got people there to read others. (Don’t go there now, becasue I am in notebook comments now for 2026, not writing profiles. MY first couple rounds are correct in that they have the correct prospects, but haven’t started changinf re-arranging rankings either just yet.)
The other thing on the Athletic I always go after Corey Pronman, who to me is less a watcher than a HEARer, using what scouts tell him are the players evaluations.
I have been wanting to go back and call him for the original 2025 Draft list first round that included two players tha were not even drafted!
But the only thing I did was a couple of times, I relayed the story when he was on the Sirius hockey channel in 2013 and when the host suggested that maybe Sasha Barkov was in the equal rankigs of Nate MacKinnon, Seth Jones, and Jonathan Drouin, Corey refused to consider him as on their levels…he was almost crying in his adamant refusal of Barkov as elite, and that he was correct.
I posted and reposted with every huge leap where he ranked prospects crazy earlier than they should have been.
I just think the parrot’s staff may =know stuff but he is pretty vanilla.I need someone else to post the question to The Athletic’s Powers, since they banned me from posting there.
Why did they ban you Wiz?!
Thanks, Frenchy!
I am glad (along with the rest of us “Buzz-bums”) that we are here with you!
Appeciate you,
Wiz
Agreed wholeheartedly, although I never was able to post as a BuzzBum. My account never worked, so I was reading all of you in the background since Al C. was the blogger.
Also in the Prospects forum (link above) is a link to an article about goalie prospect Adam Gajan and the things he is doing to improve his game and mindset. Good read.
I just added a video over at the Prospects forum about Kantserov. The host does a pretty good job, IMO, analyzing his play. Here’s the link to the forum:
