Hope I can find a sports bar with root while I’m out tonight to catch the last period. Go Kraken.

 

[Sad People]

Kinda saw that one coming.

Can't watch for a bit. Was it a defensive lapse again? If we don't play disciplined this game it could end up being an ugly one.

Defelction, but we looked lost and disorganized. Reminded me of last year.

Bleh. Oh well, hopefully they tighten it up.

 

[The Marquis]

Gourde with a hit a mile away from anything on Point lol

 

[The Marquis]

Now THAT was a defensive lapse.

 

[Cisse]

No one is guarding anybody.

It’s frustrating, because that was even worse than what we saw last season. The Kraken fully created a wide open lane for that shot.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

This team is bipolar. I don't get how you can go from playing excellent defensive hockey to looking like a beer league defensive unit.

Yeah, he could just walk in.

 

[Baszie]

Grubauer is still awful.

 

[Sad People]

We havent even held the offensive zone yet and were about to be 10 minutes into the game.

Great shot, blocker side but Gru had clear vision.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Walked my dog and its 2-0 just like that,yikes!!!

 

[Toomany7pins]

Grubauer is still awful.

He is, but then he’ll make a series of great saves.
His play is very bi-polar at times.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Its goaltenders like A Vasilevski that makes one want the NHL to have 10 x 10 nets! Cristos he's got a lot of padding on. I saw it first hand a few years ago in Tampa against the Montreal Canadiens! He's as wide as he is thick,there's no need for that much equipment and padding,C'mon Andrei!

YAY! We found a scapegoat for our teams crappy D.

 

[AarG]

Maybe we should hire a faceoff coach... Like, it's so frustrating to lose so many puck drops.

We sucked at faceoffs last year and it hasn't got any better. I really like how Rod Brind'Amour has got Sebastian Aho and Jesperi Kotkaniemi improving with their faceoffs. Perhaps Ron Francis should come from the office to the ice and teach our guys how to win a face off.

 

[Sad People]

lets go!! Good goal fellas.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

With him, it seems like he is very cold at the start of games. If the team gets shots off on him in the first few minutes, he lets some sneak through.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Wish Goaltenders weren't allowed to have facemasks just to make them puck shy as Johnny Bowers would say

Missed it,who scored for the Team?
