GDT: Game 26 Kraken vs Jets

[CascadiaPenguin]

Is there some unwritten NHL rule that dictates Donskoi will not EVER score a goal? What the hell is going on, he's a dang good player?

This two goal deficit is beginning to feel like an eight goal deficit.

 

[Sad People]

Way better looking PP

Can’t buy a goal though.

hellebuyck is outstanding though

If we could transplant Evander Kane's brain with one of a regular, sentient human, that player would do wonders for our offense. We need something, that is for sure. Uncle Ron may need to re-think this makeup.

I feel that way every time a team I like plays WPG.

 

[Cisse]

We just need more talent.

Dunn looking pretty damn good there as the quarterback.

Yeah Helley's one of the best in the league and proving it tonight. Would love to add a scorer like Conner too, heck of a player.

Edit: speak of the devil, Conner again

Was just going to say this.

Games like this is what I expected more this season. Low scoring games where we are unable to score. The Jets are a good team and they are giving us little to no space to create offense. This is where offensively talented players who could create offense are a necessity.

 

[The Marquis]

Absolute failure

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

Someone was asleep...who the hell gave the puck away to the ever dangerous K Connor

 

[kihei]

Another giveaway, another goal against.

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

Seattle Kraken are pressing too hard and running around

 

[kihei]

This is not the way you want a team to respond to a blow-out loss.

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

Winnipeg just keeps coming

 

[Cisse]

We need to get a number one center who can deliver.

Geekie's hockey IQ might not be the greatest.

I think it is just Geekie and Donato don't work well together. Very different styles of play and the have horrible chemistry. No clue why Hakstol keeps playing them together. It's pretty head scratching.

 

[Irie]

The Jets don't seem to be having the trouble with fanning on pucks or losing the handle the way Seattle is, not entirely sure it is the ice.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Geekie's hockey IQ might not be the greatest.

Small sample size for me but he seems like a one trick pony to me. Has a great shot but outside of that I have not been impressed by much so far.

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

At least it was fairly close...the scorers need to score though

 

[kihei]

Well, we have to do way better than that, especially at home.

 

[Toomany7pins]

Other teams power plays look organized and planned, the Kraken’s power plays always seem to be a lot of passing the puck around only to not get off a shot, or if they get a shot off it’s at a poor angle. Looks like our guys are just winging it with no real plan.

 

[Irie]

We just need more talent.

The team has basically no top line player. They have a couple of guys that are good complimentary second liners when playing with a line driver, but they are being asked to create and be the line driver, and it just is not their game.

2 creative playmakers for each of the top two lines would do wonders for this team imo.
