Could the Kraken do us a solid here or does the western conference continue to be a waste of space?
It would be nice if Hakstol just absolutely refused to lose to his old team who fired him like Hynes when he plays his old teams that fired him!
This Kraken team is garbage. And they're not very fun to watch either. They look like an expansion team by today's standards. More juiced than the last wave of expansion teams, but like an expansion team in the new NHL. Not like Vegas though, who never looked like an expansion team.
They've won some games lately with hot goaltending. I'm sure they can't wait to throw Grubauer back in whenever he's ready and halt this kid's (he's 27, so not really a kid by the league's standards, but he's a rookie) run, if he's still running hot by then.
The only thing I even know about Daccord is that he idolized Cory Schneider and when the Kraken AHL team was playing Bridgeport in the AHL playoffs a couple of years ago, he told Cory in the handshake line that he's the reason he plays the game. That was a nice feel good story.
He still doesn't seem quite young enough to have idolized Cory (10 years younger), but Marty idolized Roy and Hextall, who were only 7-8 years older than him.
