[The Marquis]

Unfriendly Hoodlum Den. Love it.

This stretch is going to be a BIG test. If they can get at least 4 pts out of this one, I'll be happy.

 

[wewantyoursoul]

The Kraken have definitely played well on the road this season. I've felt like their schedule has been a little light...playing some of the WC dregs. East Coast road trip will definitely be telling. Hopefully we break the two game losing streak and pick up some points tonight!

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

I wonder who starts in the net tonight in Washington,DC? Wishing for a 5-3,5-4 win for the good guys sporting the Super S!!!Good Luck and may the forces be with all of you in spades!!!Go Kraken Go!!!

 

[Sad People]

Really interested in how we play on this road trip.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Lets Go Kraken!!!

 

[Sad People]

Bjorkstrand is in a fantastic spot tonight. Ive been wanting to see what he can do playing on a line like this.

 

[wewantyoursoul]

This game looks exactly like my SSRS report writer.

Wait a minute! It is! That's because I'm still working. EAST COAST!!! GET YER TIMES STRAIGHTENED OUT!!!

 

[Sad People]

Great to get the first goal on the road!

 

[kihei]

Larsson. What a bonus if we come out of this period with a one goal lead.

 

[Sad People]

Bound to happen with the way this period has been going.

Please dont challenge this.

 

[Bear of Bad News]

Well, that was a rough break. Agreed - challenge is dumb.

 

[Sad People]

Weve been so sloppy with the puck. Good grief.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Just wondering is Donskoi still unavailable?

 

[kihei]

Probably will jinx him, but Grubauer is keeping us in this game.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Been watching from the start and pleasantly surprised that its a 1-1 game. Getting run over and playing sloppy defense.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Yeah. No doubt its a high hit by Oleksiak there.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Major for Oleksiak .. this game could be over in the next 5 minutes.

 

[Bear of Bad News]

Honestly, if that one stays at five minutes, I can't really complain.

 

[Cisse]

Just wondering is Donskoi still unavailable?

Yes. Not supposed to be back soon.

 

[Sad People]

Our d-men get penalized way too much, imo.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Honestly, if that one stays at five minutes, I can't really complain.

Yeah. Hard to argue there. Was high, he lifted his arm for the hit too. Can't defend Oleksiak.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Oleksiak has not looked good since he came back from injury. He has been sloppy, puck watching and not covering his man well in front of the net.

 

[kihei]

Can't complain about the call. Dangerous hit.

 

[Cisse]

Shots 24 -9 against us and now we have a 5 min PK. This is just sad.
