Being a shitty defensive team came into play.He had to try. Dallas really used their last change home ice advantage and the Kraken had no answer for their big line while the rest of them played shutdown. Playoff experience came into play. We should be able to line match better at home but this will be a hard series to come back in now.
It’s not playoff experience. Seattles team has a ton of it.
It’s exactly the same issues we saw all season long. They managed to keep it together for 10 playoff games but they are back to being the inconsistent team that constantly starts out by allowing a couple goals, can’t produce any offense, and allow tons of high danger chances.
Fully expect them to get embarrassed at home for the 3rd time this playoffs. The Cinderella run is over.
I wonder if they just go back to sucking next year. I think the odds are good they do. Goaltending still bad. Defense still middling. Defensive structure still awful. Can they keep up the high shooting percentage? Maybe.
Oh well, at least we got to watch them 2-4 at home in the playoffs and get completely embarassed in 3 of the losses.
