Post-Game Talk: Game 78: Win and We're In! PLAYOFFS!

[Fistfullofbeer]

They are talking about who Hakstol should go with? Have they seen Jones play for the last few months?

 

[majormajor]

He has to be in concussion protocol too I would think. Keep him out till the playoffs .. and hopefully he recovers by then.

He's had concussions before that have really set him back. Hopefully this wasn't one of his worst.

He's a very important player on this team. Does a ton that doesn't show up on the scorer's sheet.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Yeah. Hope so. He has not been putting up points like a top-6 F but he has defensively been pretty good this season.

 

[kihei]

Certainly one of Grubauer's best games as a Kraken so far.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

I am really hoping they can call up Driedger or Daccord before the playoffs and give them some games. I am not confident going with Jones as our backup.

 

[majormajor]

Yeah. Hope so. He has not been putting up points like a top-6 F but he has defensively been pretty good this season.

He plays a lot of minutes but judging by the usage (very defensive) and linemates (not as good scorers, Schwartz has really fallen off), Wennberg has been more of a shutdown player than a scoring line player. And that suits his skills more.

McCann, Beniers and Eberle are all 1 fight each away from a Gordie Howes hattrick ..

Yeah. I think Schwartz has been a net negative this year from an impact POV. Not scoring that well and I feel like he is a liability defensively.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Jesus. We are dropping like flies.

Agreed. I've caught Schwartz mailing it in on the backcheck quite a bit.

Jesus. We are dropping like flies.

Two centers.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Refs need to get a handle on this. Coyotes are just gooning it up.

 

[Kat Predator]

Yanni's back.

 

[kihei]

Six minutes left. THIS IS REALLY GOING TO HAPPEN.

 

[Kat Predator]

They've (refs) lost control of this.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

They struggle getting the puck in the zone but once they get possession there, they are pretty good.

 

[majormajor]

Yeah. I think Schwartz has been a net negative this year from an impact POV. Not scoring that well and I feel like he is a liability defensively.

By the numbers he's dragged down everyone.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

LOL. What a whimper to end this.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Do they math? 4-1 to 4-2 does not cut the lead in half?

 

[Sad People]

Playoff bound baby!!

 

[Kat Predator]

Do they math? 4-1 to 4-2 does not cut the lead in half?

It means revenge!

WE DID IT!

 

[kihei]

A genuine team victory in the most notable game so far in franchise history. Feels so damn good.

Edit: I guess opening night might be more notable. But this is pretty damn close.

 

[Dowisetrepla]

Just got back from game, what a blast! Amazing improvement from last season. Stanley Cup playoffs here we come!!!

 

[RainyCityHockey]

We did it!!!
Kraken are making their first ever post season appearance in year two of their existence.

The guys earned it throughout the year and got the job done against a Yotes team that tried to goon up things in the end again.

Overall not the most exciting game but it was solid enough and if Grubuauer can play like that in the playoffs we could actually be a pain in the a$$ for our opponents.

Anyways, let's just celebrate this one.

They are talking about who Hakstol should go with? Have they seen Jones play for the last few months?

Well, they might be sleeper agent for whoever we're playing in the first round.

I think we all know that Grubauer will be the guy starting game one.

Congratulations on the playoff berth!
