When guys like Ryjo and Manson are taking up roster spots in important positions, it’s basically impossible to be a true contender.
 
Mason breaks up a good cross ice pass, but then he takes that bad penalty. I just don't think he has the stamina a defenseman needs anymore.
 
Did anyone happen to tell Josh Manson that the NHL changed the rule years ago where even if you get the puck first, it's still a trip?

Lmao no f***ing clue what the guy was trying to accomplish there.

Because the Kraken defensemen are skating back as fast as possible when he has the puck so he has to stop up, but the Kraken forwards are swarming him. Literally 3 guys on MacKinnon any time he touches the puck.

It's working.
 
Not a fan of the Avs passive 1 - 2 - 2 forecheck. Totally ineffective against Seattle...... they are coming with speed thru the NZ....

Even less of a fan of when the Avs send only one in with the puck while the Kraken swarms him.

Seattle is skating hard and might be faster than the Avs. They certainly understand their responsibilities and positions when on the ice better than many of the Avs.
 
Then you’re moving Manson or JJ up… which is asking for disaster. There just isn’t a good solution here right now.

If it was a few games I'd stick JJ on the right, but all year.. Nah, and not at anything close to top four minutes.

That's how you break both EJ and JJ, play them too much.

Same with Mikko. I noticed three Kraken collapse on him when he has the puck in the O zone. Seattle keeping Nathan and Mikko in front of them at all times.
 
Lehkonen - xGF% 21%
Ryjo - xG% 21%
Drouin - xGF% 28%

So..no. They were not in the offensive zone all period. Unless you meant the Kraken’s offensive zone.
Keep looking at the stats and I’ll watch the game. And oh seems like Mack got the puck 7sec in the first . How about that for a stat ?
