Seattle Kraken prospect Shane Wright humiliated after calling himself a generational talent in interview
After another display of misplaced confidence, Shane Wright is facing humiliation after calling himself a generational talent. Prospective forward Shane Wright has become no stranger to displays of arrogance and misplaced confidence in the media since before his time in the draft came up. Over a month ahead of the 2022 NHL Draft, Sam Cosentino interviewed him about his pick expectations. The Kingston Frontenacs star shared his belief that he had no doubts that he should be the first pick in the class. Instead, he went fourth overall to the Seattle Kraken. During his moment onstage, he sent a nasty glare to the Montreal Canadiens, who opted out of honoring his beliefs.

Mariners' Collin Snider: Snags third win Friday
Snider (3-2) got the extra-inning win over the Giants on Friday, firing a scoreless 10th inning during which he issued an intentional walk and recorded two strikeouts. Snider was called on to preserve a 5-5 tie in the 10th after Andres Munoz had struck out the side in the ninth, and the former responded with a crisp showing of his own. The right-hander lowered his season ERA to a stellar 0.98 with what was his 13th consecutive appearance without surrendering an earned run, and he now has four multi-strikeout tallies in his last nine trips to the mound as well.

Pete Carroll's greatest strength sealed his doom for the Seahawks
The Seattle Seahawks moved on from the best coach in their history. Ultimately, the quality that resulted in all those victories led to his dismissal. Pete Carroll is unequivocally the greatest head coach in the history of the Seattle Seahawks. He leads the franchise by comfortable margin of 51 wins. His winning percentage of .606 is the only one above .571 (and that was Mike McCormack over the course of just seven games). And of course, he's the only coach to lead the Hawks to a Super Bowl win. So spare me from the "you just hate Pete" commentary.
