GDT: Game #8 Wild (5-1-0) @ Kraken (2-4-1): 7:00 PM PST

[kihei]

Just got on and we score a goal.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

A lot better now. Seems like they are checking harder now and generating turnovers.

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

Just keep going after the Wild,Kraken!!!

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

Keep it coming Kraken!!!

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

Like Donskoi he never quits...hell I could say that about all the Kraken players!!!

 

[Cisse]

It is nice to see the energy we have and I think Francis and his crew did pretty well finding us players that can all take the next step but for a fan it would be nice to have at least one franchise player that you just can't wait to get on ice. Grubauer fits the bill but I would like to make a trade this season for a go to guy in offensively.
A bit of excitement would be welcome.

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

Double minor to the Wild...lets make them pay through the nose

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Donkey (used to call him that on the Sharks) taking one for the team. 4 min PP.

High stick. The only time you hope your team's players are bleeding. Gotta score at least 1 to start the 2nd!

 

[kihei]

Guys getting to know each other's moves better. More cohesion to follow.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

The team looked a little too tentative when they started the game. Gave too much space to the Wild. Settled down since then and been playing better.

Like Donskoi he never quits...hell I could say that about all the Kraken players!!!

I followed especially Donskoi against the Habs and I think he is undervalued as a player at least here in Finland. He makes a lot of good plays defensively that don't happen around the puck but keeps the opposition out of chances to score. He will be valuable for us for both directions.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Can't get much going on the PP.

 

[Cisse]

Our power play is really toothless.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Our power play is really toothless.

The PP is where the lack of the offense skill shows up the most. Makes sense.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Yanni has some serious vision when it comes to passing.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Fleury x 2.

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

Haydn Fleury has 2 goals,wow!!!

 

[kihei]

Great for Fleury. A little confidence goes a long ways.

 

[The Marquis]

Whose going to score????


A: Everybody!!!

 

[kihei]

What a showcase that whole play was in terms of Fleury's potential.

 

[wewantyoursoul]

Attack mode engaged tonight!

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

Love how active the Defense is...and how Lauzon hits the opposition

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

Our power play is really toothless.

They are finding their way...be patient it will come together

 

[kihei]

Gourde is making a lot of plays on both ends tonight.
