Avs are in a serious tailspin going 2-5 in their last 7 and being outscored 31-15.

Hopefully the boys are prepared and can set the tone early and take advantage.

 

[Hocktopus]

Ugh, another trap game with the Avs going 2-5 in their last seven and getting blown out by St. Louis 8-2 last game, so you know they will be hungry for a win like Cgy and Edm were. Boys better be ready for this one! Go Kraken!

 

[sigma six]

Predictable fight, with Oleksiak having to answer because he's tall.

Edit: Tanev! Welcome back.

The way we have been playing it almost seems like we are worse than 5-7-3. Still, it's early days in the season and we can turn this thing around. Colorado is a good place to start.

What a positive shot Tanev gives us right off the bat.

 

[kihei]

Colorado has one shot in 13 minutes.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Anyone know who the heck is Sam Malinski

Saw Vernon in Juniors and in Calgary with the Flames he's not Hall Of Fame Caliber!

 

[Cisse]

Nice to have Tanev back.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Wennberg baby!!!

 

[kihei]

Short-handed goal. Wennberg from Tanev. Great period so far. Sure nice to have Tanev back.

Doesn't count, Goaltender interference, though the goalie didn't react at all.

 

[Hocktopus]

Shorty!!! Wenny breaks the ice and gets his long overdue first of the season!

Edit: now Avs are challenging.....

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Get serious that was a good goal...interference,C'mon

That was really soft

 

[Hocktopus]

FFS

 

[kihei]

At least we kill off the penalty.

 

[The Marquis]

They look like a team with Brandon Tanev

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

I don't know about anyone else but I think the Kraken are more confident with Daccord in the Net

 

[kihei]

Well, that one is a penalty. Great period for the Kraken, though.

 

[Hocktopus]

close game and long way to go, but the Kraken did a great job in that first period! Took it to the Avs for the most part

 

[Bear of Bad News]

Screwed on the goaltender interference call.

Am I the only one that gets the Split Enz song "Hermit McDermitt" in my head every time Kurtis MacDermid fights? Probably.

 

[The Marquis]

Phewwwwwwwww!

Screwed on the goaltender interference call.

I’d be utterly shocked if you aren’t the only one.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Gotta score there

Not my favourite Split Enz song. I think the honour is yours.

Not my favourite Split Enz song. I think the honour is yours.

It’s a solid jam live but I agree - a lot of better options. I’ll take One Step Ahead.
