GDT: Game XIV: Summon...the Kraken: COL @ SEA 10pm ET / 8pm MT

[sethro109]

We already chased Gru.

 

[Avs425]

Well that is very disappointing.... lame move coach

 

[CharlesPuck]

lol no Grub, thats too bad....

 

[TanguaySauce]

What a bitch. Start your goalie in his revenge game you dumb dolts

 

[Freudian]

"So I should shoot blocker side?"

 

[Ararana]

No Grubauer is a bit disappointing for the Avs because I honestly think Driedger is the better goalie right now.

 

[a mangy Meowth]

Damn was hoping for a Grublowout

 

[JLo217]

They're both saying "can we please come back"

 

[DRL]

Gru was just a product of a strong team. Glad Joe let him walk. Kuemps is an upgrade despite the trade price tag.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Grubauer wont let a goal in tonight prediction came true. Dave Hakstol obviously trying to win tonight.

 

[forsbergavs32]

Wrong move by the Hakstol IMO. Grubauer probably had this game marked on his calendar.

Should have let him walk as soon as the season ended instead of waiting until the 11th hr and having to play musical chairs and losing assets.

Daave Hakstol is trying to win tonight. This is a winning move based on Grubauers play.

 

[Avs91]

Plus Driedger has an even worse save % than Gru

I wouldn't call him an upgrade just yet. So far he's been good after what was a really shaky start. If that continues to hold true (and if the team can play better defense in front of him) then I think Colorado is onto something.

All things considered I think Kuemps will be an upgrade (at least I hope) but only time will tell.

 

[Chiarelli]

Daave Hakstol is trying to win tonight. This is a winning move based on Grubauers play.

I wonder if hes doing this to send a message to Grub. It is a pretty big slap in the face.

Could be. Up to Grubauer now to play better and I think he will.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Lol @ Jarnkrok and Blackwell being ahead of Donskoi on the depth chart. Never change, Hakstol.

Jarnkrok absolutely should be. He's a better player. Although having a bad year with Seattle


Blackwell is funny though.

 

[wayninja]

Kuemper has been great after a really suspect start. We all knew he had the raw talent to be good, but there's more to it than just that.

He's been getting stronger as season has progressed, let's see if he can keep that up.

Grubs not playing is a strategic choice. Clearly a faltering Kraken team is worried about absolutely breaking the goalie if he were to play and lose tonight.

 

[missionAvs]

You all know Grubauer's getting a shutout tonight. I can feel it in my bones. 4-0 Kraken.

 

[Tommy Shelby]

Lol 4th line Donskoi is still gonna score 2 on us tonight

 

[Pokecheque]

Lol 4th line Donskoi is still gonna score 2 on us tonight

Oh he totally is.

Also, I wouldn't just assume Groob wanted this game. The way he's playing right now he may have quietly asked Hak to leave him out. It's not unheard of for a goalie to opt out of playing against his old team.

 

[Shinjuku Calling]

Gru was just a product of a strong team. Glad Joe let him walk. Kuemps is an upgrade despite the trade price tag.

both stink.

 

[AvsFan29]

both stink.

Kuemper has been good. Very good at times.

 

[Ceremony]

Get this beer leaguer I've never heard of lit up so we can give Grubauer the reunion he deserves
