Not much to get excited about for us 'Hawk fans. The team is going through the motions, under an interim coach, that I don't think has a chance to lose the interim tag.

They are also shopping some guys around, Hall, Reichel, Kurashev. This fan is not one for empty stats, so seeing Bedard succeed, to me, is more than racking up points in losing games. I want to see improvement in him, and, around him. Short term success with fossils like Foligno, or transient guys, like Bertuzzi, does not mean much. Besides, I expect Bertuzzi is being shopped also.

Connor Murphy is set to return from injury. I feel that he is extremely overrated, and in fact, is a liability. I wouldn't mind seeing him moved, to open up a spot for a youngster. We are, likely, stuck with Jones' contract, but can bring along some prospects. There is no excuse for playing Murphy or Brodie.

I am wondering if Mrazek, under contract for one more year, might be moved to replace am injured goalie on a contender, if someone comes shopping. Both Mrazek and Soderblom have losing records, but, cannot be blamed for the poor team results.

I'll be hanging around the GT tonight, although, I have some difficulties getting to watch the game if they are on not on ESPN plus, having dumped satellite services, to cut expenses for retirement. I do get the Hulu/Disney/ESPN plus (but, not ESPN) as a cheaper option. Tonight's game is on NHL Network in the US. I hate to pirate things, but, Yaargh and avast, I may have to tonight!

Catch you guys and gals at game time.
