GDT: Game 54: K-R-A-K-E-N-KRAKEN!-KRAKEN!-KRAKEN!

[The Marquis]

Shootout. Damn. Not the Kraken strong suit. All guys who tend to overthink

 

[Kevinsane]

I’m a goalie. I’ve got a great record in shootouts over the years.
I DESPISE them as a way to end a game.

Son of a gun

 

[The Marquis]

We just need a guy to get one

[Bear of Bad News]

It's all good - got one point. Let's get a solid set at home.

[Kevinsane]

I’ll take the point. That was a good hockey game.

 

[wewantyoursoul]

I hate shootouts. I think the Kraken hate them too.

 

[kihei]

Well, damn. At least, we get a point. And another very strong game from Grubauer bodes well for the future.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Kraken didn't win?

Nope, Gru looked pretty good. Though I think the TV crew saw some ghost saves/pokes I just didn't see. He played good. Jets are a tough team.

Better than ties. But i doubt the NHL will ever get rid of the shoot out cause the alternate isn't any better.

 

[GrungeHockey]

Ya, I hate shoot outs too, but a points a point. Take it on a road trip. Have to admit that Schiefele goal in the shoot out was pretty slick . With LA surging they have to win some games at home now to keep pace.

 

[RainyCityHockey]

At least we got a point.
Grubauer also with a solid game and some good saves.
He's not at .900 SV% wise.
Let's see how long(how many games?) that lasts.

The team now plays Philly and needs a win cause it's getting really tight in the pacifc race and we're the ones trending the worst.

Beniers has fallen of a cliff and then some. Hardly looks like a factor and hardly seems to be a threat right now.

Crazy how he hasn’t even lucked into a point in the last 10 games. The grind of the NHL looks to be catching up now.

Concussions will do that...

HIs slump started pre-concussion. I do agree with @PG Canuck that this is likely to do with the grind of the long NHL season.

I think not having Burakovsky(in some of those games) also hasn't helped him.

Though, he's still very good defensively and hopefully bounces back, At least to some extend.

Same thing happened to the seahawks this year. Lots of promising rookies but they hit the rookie wall around mid season.

 

[Jets 31]

You guys have a good hard working team too . A playoff match up between these 2 teams would be pretty fun.

Thanks. I'm always fond of the Jets. Hard team to play against, especially in Winnipeg. Glad to learn The Dude does not love the Kings or even the Ducks. That's good news.
