GDT: Game 77: Seattle Kraken @ Vancouver Canucks (7 PM PT/ 10 PM ET)

[The Marquis]

One down. One to go

 

[kihei]

Bjorkstrand? Went home to Seattle for his child to be born

A guy with the right priorities.

The post is my hero

Oh, a double minor on Wennberg. Life just got a little more tense.

Just marinate in the stress.

 

[The Marquis]

Just marinate in the stress.

I seriously read “urinate” and had to double take. I have had no alcohol.

 

[kihei]

Well, that was more exciting than I needed.

I seriously read “urinate” and had to double take. I have had no alcohol.

In a game like this, that's what I call disciplined.

 

[The Marquis]

Wow. That was almost a huge mistake. Dunn drops the puck and nobody does f*** all. I actually laughed.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

That was almost embarrassing. The entire team sleeping in our zone almost turned it over.

 

[Kevinsane]

Sprong with a lack of situational awareness that won’t go unnoticed. Yikes!

 

[The Marquis]

No way Hak can say it was a 60 minute effort tonight. There are at least 10 seconds where not one Kraken gave any effort at all.

 

[Kat Predator]

Hey. I'm sure someone was looking for his bunny slippers.

I see more focus at drop in hockey. Fortunately the Canucks had nobody noteworthy on that puck.

 

[kihei]

A poem: It's a good thing Sprong can fire the puck because his drop passes suck.

 

[kihei]

That's the second shot that Jones has stopped with his mask this period--the first would have been a goal had his noggin not intervened.

 

[The Marquis]

Matty!

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Nice. Matty ices it.

 

[kihei]

Yay Matty.

 

[Scomerica]

We can clinch on Thursday right? With a win and jets win?

 

[Kevinsane]

Vancouver had Petterson, Miller, Kuzmenko, and Hughes. And 16 shots on goal. A few noteworthy lapses but overall the Kraken neutralized the Canucks.

I REALLY REALLY REALLY wanted the Kraken to clinch against Vancouver, and this is pretty frickin’ close.

 

[kihei]

Jones leads the league in one category: goal support. Which was obvious tonight, .875 save percentage, 5 goals. (For the year, he has been benifitting from 4.33 goals per game.

sadly vegas couldn't win in regulation for that to happen

We're 1 win away.

And if the Flames beat the Jets on Wednesday, we can still wrap it up Thursday night if we win and Nashville loses (and they are playing Carolina, heh, heh).

we don't need a nashville loss they can't pass us due to tie breakers if we win on thursday. We only needed a a loss to clinch before thursday.

Scoreboard watching is fun when your team has the advantage. Suddenly being interested in random games like tomorrow night.
