Post-Game Talk: Game 75: Kings rafting into Kraken pond. Beat LA!

[The Marquis]

Might be Tanev’s worst play as a Kraken.

 

[The Marquis]

This team is BAD at home

 

[Kat Predator]

That hurt. The breakaway that does nothing and then giving up a softie.

 

[kihei]

Awful giveaway by Tanev and for the hundredth time Jones isn't up to saving our bacon.

 

[Kat Predator]

Gourde passes up a shot to pass it back ... for a nothing burger.

Can I get a screen in front of Copley?

BJORK BJORK BJORK!

 

[Kat Predator]

LFG! Shoot that thing! Good stuff happens.

I love Sprong: "Nobody wants to shoot the puck? Well, I'll shoot the puck."

 

[Kat Predator]

I love Sprong: "Nobody wants to shoot the puck? Well, I'll shoot the puck."

He might not have a great 2-way game, but one thing is for certain. The guy is not afraid to fire the puck at the net.

Might be Tanev’s worst play as a Kraken.

His 400th game. Had to make it memorable?

 

[kihei]

Yeah, that looked like an interference penalty. Let's kill it.

 

[Kat Predator]

Dang that was close. Spronger!

Just need 1 more. 4 minutes to go.

We ice it with 2 minutes.

 

[Kat Predator]

ENG for the bad guys. Boo!

That was a pretty even game to be honest. Could've gone either way.

 

[kihei]

Can't complain. The better team on the night won. In fact, the King's provided a model of the kind of hockey a contending team must play this time of year.

 

[Kevinsane]

Turnovers killed the Kraken in this game. Too bad, because it was a pretty good tilt overall.

Man. They miss Burakovsky.

 

[Kat Predator]

I don't think Yanni had a very good game. Of course, the Turbo egg laying incident was the straw that broke it.

While we're pointing fingers, there were some grade A chances that got fumbled by several guys. And I don't know what Eberle was doing. He kept trying to enter the O-zone by squeezing along the right side boards. He'd get peeled off the puck every time and end up turning it over or rolling it deeper into the zone. I kept waiting for he and McCann to enter the O-zone with speed and a crisp pass, but alas.

 

[RainyCityHockey]

Well, another tight game in which we beat ourselves.
This time by stupid turnovers.

Gotta hope the team can come through and get those points needed during the final seven(more like next five) games.

 

[GrungeHockey]

They were the better team and have more of a built for the playoffs look. I wouldn't be surprised if they knock off Edmonton in the first round (assuming the standings hold as is).

We are affected by injuries. Kraken aren't a very deep team, as you'd kind of expect in year 2. WC still looks good though.
