GDT: Kraken at Kings, 20 Dec

[Fuhrious]

If there was one thing I’d change about the team’s online presence, I wish they did more in the way of building up hype for the game’s “lineup”. Other teams will make Twitter posts with that night’s roster, projected lines, goalie…the Kraken are very tightlipped beyond their “3 things” video.

Per Puckpedia, no updated info on McCann, Bura, Gru, or Schultz with PEB sure to sit out as he just hit IR yesterday. Will update as best I’m able!

You'd think in a city like Seattle that they would be able to find somebody to do a decent job with the teams online presence. The Youtube content has improved unquestionably, but everything is just so utterly "meh!" at BEST.

 

[Interior Cascadian]

My petty side wants every Eastern team’s fan base to experience sitting through some random OT while their team starts their game off air. Not proud of it, but there it is.

 

[Cisse]

I'm not super confident about this game.

 

[sigma six]

Pretty tough match up even when not missing a handful of players.

 

[Kat Predator]

Well, I learned that our problem has nothing to do with goaltending but it is really that we can't outscore our stellar goaltending.

 

[Cisse]

I must admit that I don't feel we are play off ready team yet.

 

[sigma six]

A shot!

 

[Cisse]

One good shift in a period. It's a start I guess.

 

[Kat Predator]

Well, at least we kept the puck out of the net.

Not watching the game BUT did the Kings really get 37 SOG in the 1st period?

This! I’m just following stats, but everything is pointing to Daccord destroying the world.

 

[The Marquis]

Seriously though, are the Kings actually on pace for over 110 shots on goal?

Haha no, 17 to 6 I believe. Seattle has had some good chances that didn't result in a SOG.

There was a good ten minutes where LA had them totally hemmed, though.

It was a ton. (21? 17? ∞? depends on the source) I think we got out of our defensive zone. Maybe...

Ok. So NHL.COM was just screwing with us.

Somebody at nhl.com needs to be FIRED

Merry Christmas. Every shot counts twice.

Kings had 20-something SOG to 7 or 8 for the Kraken, which my brain keeps telling me was bad…but the Kraken honestly had some good chances. If they can stop letting the Kings control long stretches of play, it could go either way.

Oh, and Lind drew in with Shore and Yam, looks like. No Evans tonight, it’s the Schultz and Dumo Show.

 

[Cisse]

I think Accord had 19 saves but Kings shots were blocked, hit the post and some even went wide.

 

[Fuhrious]

Yam had a solid 1st period, starts the 2nd taking a dumb trip (borderline slew foot) in the OZone halting a PP.

 

[Cisse]

YESSSS!

 

[Kat Predator]

Tanev scores.

 

[Fuhrious]

Tanev doing the monkey off his back celebration. Guess he’s been frustrated since his injury?
