He was on the ice during the Dunn goal

He played 1.06 last period 22 seconds a shift on average

 

[Cisse]

How many face offs have we already lost?

 

[The Marquis]

Oh, how does that not go in?

 

[Cisse]

We are not responsible enough with the puck. Thank goodness it is only Blackhawks against us.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

The Kraken are winning a lot of face-offs they need to win

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

F***

 

[Sad People]

Cheese and rice man.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Great. Just great.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

You could tell the lead was going to vanish

 

[kihei]

What the hell?

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

When the Kraken get scored on its like here we go again same as last year country

 

[Cisse]

Hakstol out! If he can't get our defense sorted against Chicago we are screwed.

 

[The Marquis]

Pathetic

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Kraken need 2 top 4 D-men to go with Larsson and Dunn

 

[AarG]

This game has been hard to watch. Reminds me too much of last year's troubles. I'm ready to trade any of our d-men because we are definitely not a playoff team.

Same. Any good is erased confidently. A bummer.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

This does not really reflect well on the team as a whole. I was already getting cold on Hakstol and while the team has shown offensive improvement (thanks to off-season additions), the team D as a whole is just crap.

Confidence in Hakstol is getting close to an all time low for me.

 

[Sad People]

Hakstol just aint it man.

 

[The Marquis]

Damn Stalock

 

[RainyCityHockey]

This defense is just so fragile it's nuts.

They run around like headless chicken and as soon as you score on them they're completely lost.

Yeah. Seems like they play well for a stretch, give up a goal and after that they just forget how to play D.

 

[The Marquis]

This is the confidence killer they had last season that led to 7 regulation losses in a row.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

I have not genuinely given this much of a serious thought so far but who would be a likely candidate to replace Hakstol. Is there anyone available with a proven history of team defense? Trotz maybe?

 

[The Marquis]

My only thought. That sucked.

 

[RainyCityHockey]

Seems like we're not allowed to go over .500.
Or to put it another way, we're not allowing ourselves to go above .500...
