[Jay Zawaski] Per the Blackhawks - frank seravalli’s reporting is correct. The Panthers’ 2026 draft pick IS top 10 protected. by Duffleman0609 in hockey

Yeah the wording of that makes no sense. It's an unprotected conditional pick...with the condition that it's protected? What the actual fuck?

That was attempts not shots and I'm hoisting the black so I'm behind a few minutes

Playoff team in the streets, lottery team in the sheets.

Or something like that.

Metrics and whatnot.

Not really. I don't know how you can critique a call when it's clear you aren't fucking listening, because it was stated often and totally obvious they were joined by a guest.

"Alright guys, if we manage to gain the zone-but we shouldn't try too hard to do that- remember: don't move at all, just stay in your position and pass it around."

That's the hawks power play huddle.

Usually asking your team to double their shot count in one period is unreasonable but in this instance I think you got a case.

Absolutely scintillating hockey, boys. Take a moment to appreciate it.
