Another @The Marquis GTD

I hope the team can start better than the last three games cause it could get ugly fast if they don't.

BTW: It seems like Grubauer will be the one wearing the mask(or play a position that shall not be named) today and Francouz will do the same for the Avs.

Burakovsky got a present

Burakovsky got a present

Dammit. It’s really hard to be upset about this.

 

[kihei]

Their goalie is off to a worse start than Grubauer.

 

[kihei]

We could be down two already if not for Grubauer. Credit where credit is due.

 

[The Marquis]

Credit yo

 

[kihei]

Oleksiak got the worst of that fight but at least he showed up.

 

[kihei]

Giveaway by Wright in the offensive zone and he is the last skater back in our zone

 

[kihei]

Considering the Kraken didn't allow a shot for almost ten minutes against this powerhouse, I'd say that was a good period.

 

[Sad People]

Lets go!! Nice goal.

Our PP is leaps and bounds better this year.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Nice movement on the PP.Great shot Schwartz

 

[Sad People]

Heck yes!

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Wow,McCann he can

 

[kihei]

And another goal quickly follows. (22 seconds)

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

A Little sloopy

 

[kihei]

Our D evaporated on that goal.

 

[The Marquis]

damn am I ever inebriated. Blame my wife: she insisted, after I already had 3 drinks, to go out to the bar.

Kraken look awesome

 

[The Marquis]

Guys. The northwest Silverado drive to the net!

 

[The Marquis]

Am I the only one of us who chuckles like a 12 year old about “Ball Arena”?

 

[The Marquis]

Makar has really great positional awareness

 

[The Marquis]

My beard is a gd gigantic freaking mess.

 

[The Marquis]
