Kraken Training Camp + Preseason 2021

[gstommylee]

Game is being streamed on ROOTS for local markets. Not sure about out of market areas.

Is it normal for pre-season games to be on the team sites? I know that a lot of teams stream training and development camp videos or even rookie games but didn't think they did that for pre-season.

ESPN+ for out of market.

I just moved to Kingman, Arizona last week. Looking forward to tonight's game. However, on my Dish Network guide for ROOT Sports, it says that both the "Hockey 101" and "Kraken Pregame" shows are blacked out in my area. I know the game will be, but, the pre-game stuff? Not sure why.....

Isn't AZ out of area for ROOT sports anyway? For the Kraken anyway.

I just moved to Savannah from Seattle and I’m a Panthers fan, was able to see the development camp games plus the first preseason game earlier today on the Panther’s site. It’s linked to the nhl.con site. I mean, since Seattle is an expansion team I’d expect the NHL to make it more accessible and marketable to showcase the new team’s first ever game instead of being so localized with a company such as root network.

 

[Puckrobber]

It is, yes. But, you should still be able to watch regular programming on it, as long as it's not a game.

Living in Washington (state), I was always able to see the pre-game stuff just fine. When the actual game came on, it would blackout.

out of market ESPN+ like i said.

My point is that I’m surprised it’s not just a free stream for the world to see instead of limited to some subscription service. Heck even for the first week of the season usually you can see every game on nhl center ice. This is the first ever game for a brand new franchise. Surprised it’s not more accessible is all.

I generally agree that there is a lack of streaming options for the Kraken. The team could and should have done more to make the training camp and pre-season games more accessible.

unfornatelly that's not how things work.

It does with other teams…

 

[The Marquis]

That goal was yikes.

 

[JohnLennon]

What are the lines for tonight's game? This is the closest thing I can see to lines...

Who is everyone betting on to be the starter? I'll predict Driedger comes out on top.

Grubby is the starting goalie not Driedger.

 

[diehardleafsfan9878]

Grubby is the starting goalie not Driedger.

Yes, but I'm saying, Driedger is going to out perform Grubby.

 

[gstommylee]

Yes, but I'm saying, Driedger is going to out perform Grubby.

No he won't. We didn't sign grubby to be a backup.

 

[diehardleafsfan9878]

No he won't. We didn't sign grubby to be a backup.

No he was signed because he is perceived to be better, but that's not the case. Driedger is going to have a better season. Francis is going to regret signing Grubby.

Grubauer will do fine it was one preseason game!

 

[Quackenator]

is it wrong to hope one of them gets injured so Daccord can get a shot? and Grubs will be better than Dreidger

Yes. Don't wish for any player to get hurt.

 

[Quackenator]

Yes. Don't wish for any player to get hurt.

honestly hoping we end up trading driedger but probably wont happen

 

[The Marquis]

Especially two of the best players on the team just so an up and comer can get to play.

Driedger is still likely better than Daccord at this point. You definitely don't want a step down, no matter how small on a team that won't be scoring many goals.

Seattle isn't trading him. We already traded a goalie when we signed Grubby and that was the goalie we took from washington.

Thanks for the unneeded history lesson. Goalie position and defense is definitely our position of strength and i dont expect them to make any drastic changes til the deadline based on our record. Mainly would just prefer to watch Daccord in net.
