We've got a lot of jump right at the start. Hope it lasts,

Lousy defense in front of Grubauer costs us a goal. Wish we had d-men who would knock interlopers on their asses.

Very True, but Gru also needs to smother that puck better.

 

[Sad People]

Terrible effin PP.

 

[kihei]

Laughable power play, utterly laughable.

I think that has been a big problem for us all season long. Even someone like Oleksiak loses people in front of the net.

 

[kihei]

Donato ties it. The guy has been making a real contribution on offense this season.

 

[The Marquis]

Only able to follow the score at the moment. Liking it so far. Eberle getting some good passes in?

 

[The Marquis]

Wow, that’s a real dogshit goal to give up.

 

[kihei]

Ai yi yi

This game feels like an even game and I’m guessing is more indicative of the level the Kraken actually are. Middle of the Pacific. I hope they fully prove me wrong.

Dunn and Schwartz seemingly hurt. Might end up allowing for some “opportunity” for the firebirds that have been deserving…. But I’m aware it doesn’t always work that way.

I don't know if we really have any NHL ready forwards in Coachella but I sure would like to see Ryker Evans be called up.

I think this team needs to get more depth scoring from their bottom-6, which it has been from the likes of Donato and Sprong (4th line) but the 3rd line needs to start helping out more often. Tanev-Gourde-Bjorkstrand has been good but nt hitting the back of the net as often as they should be.

Our top lines are very likely to be outplayed by other teams from a talent perspective.

This game feels like a WHL game for some reason.

Froden is REALLY over performing at the AHL level. I’d like to see what he can do in the NHL.

Oh god. Too many men? Fusque

I know but Froden is also 28 years old. I would temper expectations from him. Evans on the other hand has been one of the best D-men in Coachella as a 20 year old.

Agreed on both counts… but I think a 28 year old hitting his stride might be worth a look.

 

[The Marquis]

That was a good pk for Gru. Big saves and a lot of them.

 

[The Marquis]

I truly feel like Root has a better looking broadcast. That’s nuts.

 

[The Marquis]

Ya’ll. F*** Keith Yandle. Lol

 

[kihei]

Through two periods, the Kraken seem to be allowing a lot of shots tonight which only heightens the chances of a royal screw-up in the third.

Yet Grubauer has been up to the challenge so far. So… whatever.

 

[The Marquis]

I’m losing my mind. Decided to eat two Carolina reaper peppers Raw tonight to impress my youngest son. I regret my decision. I’m going to shit later and it’s going to hurt badly. Damn adulthood!

 

[The Marquis]

I’m guessing my version of adulthood differs from most of yours. Hahahaha
