[Bear of Bad News]

It's just so much damn fun to make the playoffs! Go Krakens tonight. Beat the Knights, root for the Ducks, go to sleep happy.

What a trip it has been. Thank you, Kraken

 

[Bear of Bad News]

Wow, what the hell was that?

 

[kihei]

What a piece of bad luck that was, especially with Vegas not having fired a shot in anger yet.

Schwartz of all people squeezes one through the goalie pads.

 

[kihei]

Yet another screw up by people who are paid to play hockey. This time Grubauer shuts the door.

 

[kihei]

Despite the fact that they are one point away from clinching first place in their division, Vegas played that period like they are not terribly interested in anything except getting out of Seattle healthy.

Let's go Kraken! Vegas sucks!

 

[kihei]

No surprises in Anaheim as the the Kings lead 3-1 after two periods. Low intensisty affair.

 

[kihei]

Good penalty kill. We have gone from last in the league in December to 10th best in the league now. Pretty solid improvement.

Didn't notice having six out, myself - was there?

 

[kihei]

Jones scores for the Ducks to narrrow the score to 3-2. Well, he wasn't playing goal tonight and I guess no one noticed him putting on the Ducks jersey........but Kings get it right back, 4-2.

Martinez scores for Vegas, a case of the right place at the right time for him. Wish we had D that would put people on their ass when they ventured too near to our goalie.

 

[Bear of Bad News]

Balls.

 

[Bear of Bad News]

Twenty to go - get this to overtime and secure it there.

(Yes, I'm aware of the unfortunate score down south)

 

[Kat Predator]

I feel like we've controlled this game. If that post would stop jumping in front of the puck, we'd even be up a goal.

 

[kihei]

LA wins. So much for that scenario.

This is suddenly the least important game that we have played all season.

 

[EXTRAS]

Cmooon Gourdey howeeee

 

[kihei]

Empty net goal--that was a hell of a great season.

 

[GrungeHockey]

Well since we can't seem to beat Vegas probably a good thing we play Dallas or Colorado

 

[The Marquis]

Great season. 100 points. First time for the Kraken, first time for Ron Francis as GM.

Can’t wait to find out who they play.

Lots of post hitting by the good guys.
Also Vegas did a good job of getting in shooting and passing lanes.

Flush it, and get ready for playoff hockey.
