Tribute All things Seattle Kraken and 1st Playoffs

[LeighDx59]

Does anyone know when the sale of a potential Game 6 would happen? if it happens I'd rather shoot to try to grab a ticket when they go on sale rather than going secondary market.

Coyotes fan popping in to pay my respect to the Kraken organization and their fans. I live in Oregon so I can't watch any Kraken games. Stanley Cup playoffs my first chance to see them in action.

Vegas expansion year run has masked just how impressive it is to make the playoffs your 2nd year.

Then you knock off the Avs in game 1. Watched game 3, and thought for sure when the Avs went up 3-1, the Kraken were about to get a signature Avs 7-1 playoff defeat I've seen in previous postseasons. Nope, fight back to tie it up.

I think the Avs will win another cup....that said I really have no clue about the Kraken so as far as I know maybe they have the makeup of a team that could defeat the Avs.

Regardless, seems like a really well run organization. I think the Shane Wright situation was handled well and an impressive Stanley Cup playoff performance.

Seattle is way overdue for another Stanley Cup.

SO probably no McCann the rest of the series isn't great news at all. Not that he was scoring, but he was at LEAST drawing attention. That COULD be good, preventing Colorado from having a plan, but again, could just be bad. If McCann had been scoring I'd probably feel differently.

Was Sprong on the 1st line once McCann left last night? Curious how that plays out.

Seattle hockey is only 2 years old and it already looks like it's always been there. The fans were into the game, the atmosphere was strong, and the team played like they belonged in the playoffs. The Kraken are definitely here to stay.

I believe Donato took McCann's slot on the 1st line. But don't believe it stays like that because it would leave our 4th line with no center assuming Froden is the next man up.

McCann is a big loss. Through this series and to be honest since the all star break all I can think is what if Burakovsky was healthy. I think we'd be a lot more clinical and potentially not a wild card team.

It opens the door for us.

Nichushkin will also most likely miss the rest of the series.

Let's Krak some works tonight!

Seattle weather here in Denver - high 40s and pissing rain. They should play with the roof open at Ball Arena tonight.

It's been nice that the power play has been better (at least not futile) the last 2 games. Wonder what tweak they made.

 

[topcatone]

This game will all come down to faceoffs. That was the key to game 5, with Kraken finally coming out ahead. Maybe it was the coach comment about cheating more .

Nichushkin will also most likely miss the rest of the series.

What is the story with Nuke? Doesn't seem like a team-related issue. Must be a significant non-hockey issue to keep him away? He's developing into a decent player, that is a hit for sure.

 

[Sad People]

Big game tonight!! Gotta take advantage of the Makar suspension.

 

[kihei]

What a way for a hockey mutt to make his NHL debut.

 

[LeighDx59]

Well, ill be heading Seattles way for Game 6. Excited to be able to come back to Climate Pledge, this time to cheer on the Kraken!

Friday is going to be nuts
