GDT: Kraken At Black Hawks

[Toomany7pins]

Time to pull Gru. He is content with being a spectator and watching pucks go by tonight.

 

[Fuhrious]

What little I’ve seen since tuning in, they look like complete chaos. Why are they so terrible at getting the puck out of the zone this season?

 

[Toomany7pins]

Bad takeaway and then Grubauer doesn't stop another one. Hard to find consistency when your goalie isn't making big stops. But he's certainly not the only one at fault as we are way too cavalier with the puck.

The defense could be much better, but he should have stopped the last 3.

Going into tonight Grubauer had a lower SV% (.885) than he ended up with in either of his first two seasons with the Kraken. Tonight ain't exactly going to help that.

 

[kihei]

Well, that was a dismal period.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Both Edmonton and New Jersey are looking for a goalie maybe Gru?

 

[Bear of Bad News]

Tye!

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Kartye!!!Good feed by Beniers!

 

[The Marquis]

This isn’t over but it feels like it is

 

[Bear of Bad News]

LBI for Schwartz - not my favorite news.

 

[Bear of Bad News]

Time for some big PP energy.

DOUBLE IT.

 

[Bear of Bad News]

LET'S f***ING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[kihei]

Rats. Couldn't ask for a much bigger opportunity to tie the score than that.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

A winnable game that got away early...a couple of lapses where the goaltending wasn't good enough

 

[kihei]

Poturalski plays seven minutes and change, but then is on the ice in the last minute?

 

[Bear of Bad News]

 

[kihei]

Though technically we are in the race right now, I do not see how this Kraken team makes the playoffs

 

[Fuhrious]

If you had told me this morning that the Kraken would lose to the Hawks and Bedard would have 0 points, I would have told you to stop messing around…

Mackenzie Entwistle? Seriously…?

I fervently hope that this season and possibly next is the step back before the giant leap forward that Firkus, Evans, Wright, Sale, and a more mature Beniers promises, because this team is maddening to watch.

 

[Irie]

Over a minute of 5 on 3, and the opposition goalie is playing out above the top of the crease and the coaching staff calls timeout and then has the forwards on the half walls and in the bumper slot on the powerplay?

Kinda feels like I am watching Bantam youth hockey at the local rink with a parent volunteer behind the bench as coach.

I think we all need to learn how to spell Rehkopf. Because he is looking like a better prospect than most of them, definitely better than Sale. Maybe a big difference maker.

You’re right. I forgot him!

I would say Firkus is 2 years away minimum, Sale 3 years,Rehkopf 2 years...yes our team can be maddening to watch...I miss Sprong and Donato and sometimes I wish GMFrancis would try to peddle Gru away he makes me crazy most nights

yep

Wow,Just Wow!!!

This isn’t over but it feels like it is

Actually it felt like it right at the beginning when the Kraken got behind 2-0

 

[RainyCityHockey]

Well, another loss to a team you shouldn't be losing to.

The team just can't string together three periods or even a couple of games and will be in the "playoff hunt" only because the west absolutely sucks this year.

Both Edmonton and New Jersey are looking for a goalie maybe Gru?

I'm pretty sure they want one that can consistantly perform.
Grubauer ain't that.

What is with this team. Its like every game a different team shows up

It's a playoff bubble team which can't just outscore their mistakes like last season.
