GDT: Kraken vs Lightning, 09 Dec

[Fuhrious]

Lightning on a bit of a wobble (lost 3 of their last 5, including an 8-1 shellacking by the Stars) facing the Kraken who are face-down on the pavement (6 game losing street). Vasilevskiy returned recently but hasn’t quite rounded into elite form, could be a good one!

A question I posted on the other thread. Is Hak’s job in jeopardy?

Weren’t people talking about that in the roster thread?

Bolts got Soros'd last game. Have been playing better D as of late. Krak needs to stay out of the box--Bolts PP is clicking at 30% plus. My daughter, SIL and granddaughter will be at the game.

It’s funny, their lines 2 - 4 seem to match up to the Kraken very closely but damn if a first line the quality of Kucherov / Stamkos / Point wouldn’t be a nice problem to have?

 

[CraigsList]

Go Ryker!

By this point, all I want for Christmas is a lead, something we haven't had in an outrageously long time. Then what happens happens. Talk about modest expectations.

LGK

Grubauer did very good work on that power play.

And right away after the penalty kill, Cirelli scores on a tip that was unstoppable.

 

[Bear of Bad News]

Sigh.

 

[kihei]

Kucherov scores as we seem to be just standing around in front of the net way too much.

Four shots on goal, a two goal deficit, and a real uphill battle for a team that seems to have forgotten how to score.

Kuch does what he normally does...hangs out away from the D then has supernatural ability to see the play seconds ahead and move to open ice. Then you got Point...Can't blame the D for that. Krak will play much better in the second.

 

[Fuhrious]

14 shots in the 1st period? Ouch…

 

[Fuhrious]

Money puck isn’t loving our chances…

 

[kihei]

Second period: can we at least get organized in our own end?

 

[Bear of Bad News]

Yeah buddy.

 

[kihei]

Did we need that goal or what. That has to provide a spark for these guys.

But, of course, it is ruled offsides. The Kraken seem cursed.

 

[Bear of Bad News]

Shit.

 

[Bear of Bad News]

Let's do something here.

 

[Renopucker]

I absolutely hate that review of OSides...

 

[Bear of Bad News]

NO OFFSIDES ON THAT!

 

[kihei]

FINALLY.

 

[Renopucker]

Hedman put a toothpick on it. A shot on goal is ALWAYS a good play...as long as its ON GOAL.

 

[Bear of Bad News]

OMG SNAKEBIT

BIG RIG
