[EchoesoftheEighties]

Congrats on the big win Kraken fans!

I visited your lovely city in December to watch my Oil and had a blast and was treated great. Hope to see you in the WCF

 

[The Marquis]

Anyone know how many times a team has scored first in all 7 games of a series?

This is the second time ever. 2004 Leafs

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Hoping to get Bura and Canner back for the 2nd round.

 

[UseYourHedman]

How much hockey playoff hockey have Vasi and the Bolts played over the past 4 years? They were toast and beat tired. Go Kraken!!!!

That's what makes what they accomplished so amazing! Three straight finals and 2 wins. Still proud of them. But there new kid in town. Go Kraken!!

 

[Irie]

4 down, 12 to go.

 

[cole von cole]

Amazing. Two big upsets on the same night

Playing with more house money. Free and easy, that's the way to roll.

 

[OhBennyLeonard]

From a Pittsburgh fan, congrats Seattle!

Was getting tired of Colorado filling their trophy case the last 25 years, wishing you many more wins!

 

[GrungeHockey]

Does Bjorkstrand have a cape cause that was some sort of superhero effort. Unbelievable.

I love this team.

 

[periferal]

Congrats guys. Beat Dallas.

And congrats to you. Please beat whomever you play next (especially if it's the rangers).

 

[Kat Predator]

Wow.

 

[periferal]

Amazing. Two big upsets on the same night

Was thinking that you could've won a lot of money tonight...

Does Bjorkstrand have a cape cause that was some sort of superhero effort. Unbelievable.

I love this team.

Did today, I can't believe he had three posts in addition to the goals.

 

[MileHighAvs7]

Avs fan here. Congrats on a great series! Obviously would have loved to see the Avs advance but the Kraken honestly deserved to win that series. I wish you the best of luck going forward and the future looks bright! I’ll be rooting for you the rest of the playoffs

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

The only thing that can bring me down right now? Ross Fletcher!

"Russell" Fletcher is a buffoon!!! He doesn't know hockey from a hole in his arse!!!

I think the key to this game was surviving the first period barrage from Colorado. They easily could've given up a few goals with all of that offensive zone time that Colorado had.

I concur!!!

Scary approach to take but it worked. In the last ten minutes, Seattle was absolutely gassed. Grubauer was superb; Bjorkstrand played the game of his life and will be a huge asset going forward now that he is healthy; Larsson anchored the D brilliantly; and Gourde and Tanev did what they have done all season. Everybody else played their hearts out, too. I'm proud to be a fan of this team.

Here,here!!

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Hoping to get Bura and Canner back for the 2nd round.

That would be superb

I don't anyone who thought Seattle would Win 3 games against Colorado in a 7 game series in their building to boot!!!

Good luck to you, too! I'm a displaced Pens fan and took my son to a December game in Edmonton pre COVID and had a blast with the locals, such generous and friendly folks. I'd come back to Edmonton in a heartbeat! Vancouver, nope, not so much. This could be your year, grab it (unless you face the Kraken).

 

[jimmysheva]

Your team is amazing! I hope you take down Dallas.

 

[RainyCityHockey]

We've fu**ing done it!!!!

Does anyone else feel like this as well?

Great effort by the guys and Grubi with an incredible performance and fantastic series overall.
Bjorkstand was also due for some offense and man did he show up tonight.

Gotta love how this team has gone about this and performed in a way no one expected against the defending champs.

Now we're off to Dallas where we'll once again be the underdog no one gives a chance.

Anyways, let's cue the happy song.

 

[Dolemite]

Old school Seattle residents like myself will get the significance behind this.

 

[Sad People]

Wasnt able to watch but hell yeah! So proud of the team! Great for the city and the team! Onto Dallas

 

[topcatone]

That would be superb

I didn't get to watch any post-game interviews. Any word on them playing ? (at least McCann)

 

[BAdvocate]

Coyote fan popping in for a final round 1 observation......Avalanche I was expecting to see showed up in games 6 & 7....too little to late....and most importantly the Kraken are too good for any team to think they can "turn it on" when they need to or depend on talent over hard work.

Easiest prediction for round 2: the Dallas Stars and their fanbase are going to learn first-hand the Kraken are much better than they thought they were.

Crack On Kraken!
