We go again!

Bura still listed as not returning until the 16th, Gru the 18th. Notable Chicago injuries listed are Seth Jones and Kevin Korchinski (personal-nonroster IR).

Seeing that Schultz might be available tonight, but haven’t seen a lineup.

I missed the first Chicago match-up, so I am really looking forward to seeing it Bedard.

And, hey, Yamamoto strikes again and we are off to a lead.

 

[kihei]

We have been guilty of some terrible giveaways, not exactly news there, but we haven't got burned yet.

 

[kihei]

Our fourth line has been working hard all night, and Yamamoto has been rewarded with a nice goal. Who was expecting offense from that guy? But he has been chipping right in.

 

[kihei]

I don't know if it was a case of our being that good in the first period or Chicago collectively deciding to start their Christmas vacation early.

 

[Fuhrious]

Chicago looked rough that period. Hope the Kraken keep their foot on the gas, nice contributions from the 4th line!

Dumo/Evans lead Dunn/Larsson by nearly a full minute in 5v5 TOI! Absolutely LOVE to see Evans get so much ice time from Hak!

Good to see the Kraken up by a couple

 

[Hocktopus]

That was a brutal give away

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

That wasn't good

 

[Hocktopus]

Bjorky!

 

[kihei]

Like we handed them a goal on a silver platter. What a dumb giveaway. Oleksiak should have stopped making that play in peewee.

...and Bjorkstrand gets it right back, the two goal lead restored.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Fluke but we'll take it

 

[Fuhrious]

Absolutely brutal giveaway by Oleksiak.

Nice answer by Bjorkstrand!

 

[Fuhrious]

Really fun to see the whole team buzzing but keep having to remind myself that some of it is the Hawks looking absolutely terrible…

 

[The Marquis]

Kraken have looked the better team so far, but the 3rd still to come.

Oh hell yeah! What a goal! Karts! NHLer all the way.

 

[Fuhrious]

Nice tip by Kartye!

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Unlike 2 games back, we are getting all the bounces today.

 

[kihei]

Kartye contributes to the cause. This is becoming a game I can relax in.

 

[The Marquis]

Speak of relaxing. Goalvanen!!!!

 

[Hocktopus]

ET!

 

[The Marquis]

ET!

I like this!

 

[Fuhrious]

Definitely kept their feet on the gas! All 4 lines are rolling.

 

[kihei]

This is getting better and better.

 

[Hocktopus]

Kraken need some payback after losing to the Hawks in Chicago a few weeks ago

 

[kihei]

Didn't realize how slightly built Bedard is. He looks like a choir boy.
