Probably be a goal in the first minute now.

LMAO

 

[The Marquis]

Hell yes!! Maybe I should spend more time with my wife. I promise her I’ll skip (most of) the game and I turn it on and it’s 5-1! Yeaaaahhh

 

[kihei]

Stuck with the Philly feed tonight yet again and their broadcasters must be the most delusional in the league. They just make things up.

 

[Kat Predator]

Matty!

 

[wewantyoursoul]

Beniers goal!

 

[The Marquis]

That’s a hell of a goal!! Matty!

 

[wewantyoursoul]

Hopefully that will kickstart him.

 

[Kat Predator]

Now for the extra point try...

 

[PG Canuck]

Matty B

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Helluva shot by Matty!!!Keep shooting!!!

 

[kihei]

Pretty play by Beniers. Left that Flyer in the dust.

 

[kihei]

If we want to make the playoffs, we have to get two points off games like this. And we did, so I am happy.

 

[Scomerica]

Great win after a tough road trip. Gru finding some form finally is huge.

Schedule is pretty favorable for the next few games, need to keep wrapping up the wins against the teams we should be beating on paper. Teams around us have been stumbling too which helps.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Great win the Kraken came out with a vengeance from the Winnipeg loss

 

[Scomerica]

Also feel happy that some players that had scoring droughts broke them tonight

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Good Night all Kraken fans it was a fun game to watch for the Good Guys

 

[RainyCityHockey]

Good win against a bad team.
Though, taking care of those has been a problem for the Kraken, at times, so that was a good sign, IMO.

Also great to see Matty finally back on the score sheet and ending that drought.

And of course, none of our goalies are allowed to have a .900 SV% and Grubauer's two days of that are done again.

 

[GrungeHockey]

Bad team is an understatement but yes, you have to win those and it's good to dominate a team like that.

But Gru played well I think! Travis Konecny is a good player their best forward for certain!I'm looking for the Flyers to make some moves I'm sure Tortorella doesn't like the overall make up just yet! Too many soft D-men and not enough grit up front

Yeah, it's just that he "only" saved 17 out of 19 and is now(slightly) below .900 SV%.
It's just not allowed(unless you're Joey D'Accord and do the smart thing to get away after one game ) for Kraken goalies. I guess.

BTW: According to EmeraldCityHockey the press conferences/media after the game by Torts was......ahem....very animated....
Here's a clip of a calmer, still "unhappy" Torts.

Hart is a good/great young netminder but the Flyers Defense outside of Sanheim stinks or rather are too Offensive or not top notch. Provorov is wanting out I'm sure but where? A fire sale? York is coming along and Seeler can be nasty but I see him as a 6-7th D-man, good in a pinch but...DeAngelo? Well he's burned his a couple of times I'm hopeful he's changed as he has a bomb from the point! The Flyers "Farm" team and other draft choices are making strides for duty. Perhaps in 1-3 years time a couple make the "jump" to the "show"! Andrae,Ginning,Attard and Zanetti can't be to far away
