Maybe at some point we will get a weak penalty call?

 

[Toomany7pins]

Too many dumb penalties, losing faceoffs, and not enough shooting is the story of this game.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Game 2 of the NHL second round and there are a lot of empty seats in Dallas after a sellout in Game 1! And Buttcrack Bettman thinks hockey in the South is popular?C'mon man

TB Lightning have the longest current stretch of sellouts. And the Coyotes, oh nevermind

HNIC just had a shot of a guy in the stands reading a book.

 

[UseYourHedman]

The better team tonight won. We'll see who the better team is over 7

 

[kihei]

Dallas is winning 70% of the face offs.

And another goal. That about settles it for Dallas. Just not our night. I trust the Kraken will regroup, shake this one out of their system, and come back storming back in Seattle.

 

[Toomany7pins]

Losing faceoffs and not clearing the puck. I also swear our guys hit more posts than any team in the league.

OK PP coming up. Let’s try something different, shoot the damn puck and often.

 

[Toomany7pins]

No sense of urgency ever on the PP. One ****ing shot!

 

[kihei]

Geekie on the power play is like a double agent. Whose side you on, boy?

A bit of an emotional letdown this game for the team--which is thoroughly understandable.

 

[kihei]

Good for Jordan.

 

[Renopucker]

Possession numbers must be beyond dismal.

You cant be at 25% FO against a team like Dallas. It’s a big reason why the Kraken’s PP numbers are way below where they should be. (Bordering on abysmal). Lightning had that problem before their Cup runs and Jeff Halpern got things turned around. Krak needs a FO asst coach to work with all the centers.

 

[kihei]

They didn't quit. They never quit.

 

[GrungeHockey]

Come on guys, ease up on the criticism.
You had to figure winning both games in Dallas was not likely. Series is 1-1, we have home ice advantage. We did what we had to do down there. Series is tied. We got game 3 second round coming up, it's going to be great!

 

[Kevinsane]

I would be more than okay with the Kraken moving a third round or maybe even second round pick in the draft to acquire anyone who can win 50% of their draws.

 

[RainyCityHockey]

You gotta have more offense if you want to win a playoff game.

Overall just not good enough with the exception of Grubauer who seems to keep on doing his playoff thing.

Gotta hope the boys will be able to rest up a bit until Sunday and then we can give it another shot.

 

[Scomerica]

Kraken looked gassed last night. Badly need that extra day of rest. Felt the red flags when I heard Shwartz and Schultz didn't practice this morning.

Still annoyed about the dive that led to the powerplay goal. Just no need.

Pleased for Kartye.

1-1 road trip though, would have happily took that before the series began.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Tough loss but I think missing Canner and Bura is catching up to us now. The team is tired and could certainly use them. Outside of the talent they add, they will also be much fresher.

Got to hope McCann is back this weekend. GMRF said if he knew Bura was out as long as he has been he'd have made a move at the tdl for help.

tdl deals didn't work out too well for Boston, or Tampa, maybe not the leafs etc.
This team is a 2nd year team just building it's identity and it's own unified players and team concept. We added in free agency and that was enough. We aren't at a place where we want to go throwing away the future for a rental yet.

give Dallas credit, they play a solid shutdown style and it gave us trouble. It's not unexpected.

 

[CascadiaPenguin]

Have there been any whispers about McCann's possible return?

 

[BAdvocate]

Coyote fan popping in....gotta give Dallas credit....they beat a damn good team.

Looking forward to game 3.

So glad they get the extra day of rest as the series moves to SEA, these guys plainly need it. Brutal to go from Denver to Dallas with only one day in-between.
