The amount of work he's putting into this series is ridiculous. CBC was showing him being slow to get up and looking very tired a couple days ago and, as someone with the same condition, I can tell you he is fighting hard through muscle fatigue. The fact he's even able to stay in a full game is amazing to me, especially looking at the struggle he shows when there's no threat around him.

I've turned into a BIG Harding fan in this series for certain.

Definitely! So much credit is due to for him for how he's handling his illness.

As much as I'm pulling for the wild I expect the hawks to go home up 3-1 after tonight.

I cannot imagine playing good while being injured, or hung-over as many goalies did in the past, but playing this very taxing position with MS ???

My goodness, this kid is such a true professional, and what enduringly model behaviour for anyone that try's, and does not give up. I really am speechless, and proud of this young man, one of our own from Sask. The other night I shook my head when I witnessed how well he played and how professional he handled himself. I would lie to say that I was not choked-up, how could you not be, but I walked away from that TV with a broad grin, and an anecdote to my Son - "That's a wonderful young man, you are seeing there"

I'm interested to see what happens with Harding next year. I'd love to see him make the team and play all season, but even this is looking incredibly tiring on him and who knows what a full season is going to do to him.
That said, if he figures some things out, who knows? This could force him to put in the work he needed to finally reach the potential he never really did before. Blessing in disguise? Who knows. I'm just loving watching this. I'm actually thinking of starting a PC of him.

Harding got hurt tonight. Kuemper comes in. Backstromdresses as emergency backup.

Wild look to be done now. Valiant effort, but Kuemper fighting the puck during his stay. They are in big trouble.

A good night for Hawk fans, Hawks win, Canucks eliminated.
