Got another one back. 2-3 now. Atleast they are not giving up.

 

[The Marquis]

It’s opposite world tonight.

 

[Cisse]

Lucky goal but I'll take it.

 

[kihei]

Nice goal for us.

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

Hakstol can't be breaking up these 3 Wennberg,Eberle and Schwartz

 

[Cisse]

We seem really lightweight in front of the goal offensively.

 

[kihei]

We are responding quickly to their goals this period. Ducks can be pretty damn sloppy themselves.

Want to bet?

We seem really lightweight in front of the goal offensively.

For all the shots we take from the point, there is a noticeable lack of screening the opponents goalie. I do not know why this is something that has not been worked on.

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

WTF...Fowler for a penalty for sure

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

Soft soft goal

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Bad goal by Gru there. The team is not playing well.

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

Those Gru's are going to soon be boos

 

[kihei]

A late goal that should have been stopped. Just a killer.

 

[kihei]

A goallie mishap always seems to be just around the corner with us.

 

[Cisse]

It seems like the lines today have no idea who is supposed to guard whom. You can just walk in anyway you want.

 

[Cisse]

I believe that Grubauers confidence is not what it should be and that is due to the fact that he knows he can't trust our defense.

 

[The Marquis]

Hak has to look back, find when things worked best and give those lines and pairs time to gel. This shit isn’t working at all.

 

[kihei]

I wouldn't doubt all this poor play is beginning to get in our guys' heads. Hard to stay positive when things go south as often as they have lately.

In his defense the team has had a lot of injuries and COVID related roster issues. That on top of the fact that the team has not really got much time to practice together before the season started.

That being said, I do agree with you. The players don't know each other well enough to this non-stop juggling of lines without cause.

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

Wishing for some puck Luck for the likes of Donskoi,Jarnkrok and Johansson and maybe a D-man or two

Yep,Seattle Kraken need to push their collective way around the front of the opposition net and impose their will

I am not looking at the scores as much as the effort on the ice and how the team is playing. Today, there has been no gap control and the checking has been average at best. Goaltending has been average again.

Not sure if the losses are getting to their heads or not but this is a long season and its on the coaching to make sure that the discipline and effort is there. After all, that is all the team can really control.

 

[Toomany7pins]

Goal keeping and defense is frustrating to watch. Missed opportunities at the offensive end as well.

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

Here comes the 3rd period Good Luck to all the Kraken players
