GDT: WC! Kraken vs Golden Knights, 01 Jan

[Fuhrious]

Happy New Year, folks! Kraken kick it off with their Winter Classic game this afternoon!

Put the Knights right up there near the top among "team's I just cant stand". Not so much the whole "expansion teams are supposed to suck" complaint, just the way they acted so sort of entitled about it. Also the gold helmets. I absolutely f***ing LOATHE the gold helmets.

At time of this post, Puckpedia shows Gru's return as 04 Jan, Schwartz 11 Jan and PEB 18 Jan.

Gru's Instagram post this morning, via a Reddit post...

Knights have lost 4 of their last 5, with the lone win coming in their most recent game at home against the Kings. All 4 of the losses in the past 5 games were on the road. Adin Hill, Shea Theodore and Ben Hutton listed as notable injuries for their squad.

Hope they dont wear the gold helmets!

Bissonette was a goon,glad goon hockey is out and more skill is in...now the game needs to work on the Huge,massive equipment that massive goaltenders are wearing and the number of goals scored on a game to game basis

Yes Vegas and Seattle are great sports,hockey town's Gary Bettman but so is Quebec City not Fricking Arizona they are shite

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Tempe Arizona for out door game of hockey would be the shitehouse game frick Arizona they are crap

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Eddie said it right Hockey the Greatest game in the World!!!

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

I get it Boucher has to sell the game to Americans with mention of Eichel(established Star) and Beniers(potential Super-Star)but there are a lot good/great Canadians and French Canadiens and Swedes and other Europeans

Nice Electric Guitar rendition of the Star Spangled Banner by a youngster...Jimmie Hendrix in the making

Why aren't people banging the Drum for Quebec city a real hockey "town" not Arizona a dead horse in the desert

As a youngster Beniers looks French Canadiens or Italian but born in the USA

Because QC had a team and didn’t support it, even when the Nordiques were halfway good. Players like Lindros famously refused to play there if drafted by them. Why do they seem like such a magical hockey destination now?

And the NHL has paid the bills for Arizona for almost 10 years of mediocrity

Frick Arizona let them have Sports of anything but Hockey!!! Move them to Houston and Give Quebec city an Expansion team ala Vegas and Seattle

 

[Fuhrious]

How is Arizona any more of a "dead horse" than the last 10 years of Ottawa? Or 2005-2015 Edmonton? Or 1980-1992 Toronto? We dont need to gin up weird rivalries with other hockey towns to enjoy Seattle hockey, do we? Cant other people have nice things that dont effect our lives in any way whatsoever?

Let’s talk about the awesome game going on right now.

Fun game so far. Beniers really putting a lot of effort in. I think the stadium looks fantastic

I'm at work right now, I'll have to play the world's tiniest violin for the millionaire NHL franchise owners once I get home...

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Daccord with a huge stop

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

1-0 going to the dressing room

Sometimes I wonder why Hakstol has taken McCann off the Beniers line with Eberle?

Anyone know how Wright is developing all I look at is the Stats

 

[Renopucker]

Krak are a good half step quicker than Vegas. Next goal will be very important. Maestro says the ice is "slow". So, minimize the handle and "shoot da puck score da goal".

 

[Toomany7pins]

All the players look slow. I wonder if that’s the ice or the angle of the cameras plus maybe a different background?

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Nice blast from the point by Borgen!!!

Blast from the top of the circle

D-men aren't paid for goals...well most anyways

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

High quality chance by Ebs

Its the ice,Gretzky and commentators were talking about it

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Why do they call the icing when the D-man slowly makes a half effort to retrieve puck
