Very. For as sub-par as he’s been the last few weeks, him signing with us was a very bright moment in what had been 7+ years of misery prior.

Didn’t watch. Just watched the highlights. Did they play well, or only win because of Marky? Law of averages I guess

Wow just saw those Markstrom saves! Very nice stuff

I'll never accept any Nico slander from anyone ever again. Dude is a horse and Keefe knows it. Trusts him in every single situation, deservedly so.
He's such a throwback type of player who can do everything well. He's the last player I could ever worry about for any reason.

We didn't play poorly, but it was far from a perfect game. There were stretches that we didn't allow the Kraken much of anything at all offensively, but when breakdowns happened, they were really high danger opportunities. Marky didn't have to face a ton of shots, but boy he made the saves he made count.

Oh good, I'm not the only one who made that connection. Maybe I'm still struck by PTSD after last season but it really did feel like these last few games felt like an extension of the 2023-24 debacle.

In my opinion, the team is making a few more riskier plays than they had been because the offense is not coming to them as easily as it might have been before. Keefe continues to implore in his pressers and post game locker room speech that they need to eliminate the things good teams do not do. I think this was a better step in that direction compared to how I heard the San Jose game went (wasn't able to watch that one).

We had a face off problem before Haula went down and now it’s really a crisis.

We need Nico healthy!! Maybe see how the powerplay does without him taking faceoffs on it, thatd help his TOI a bit

Not terrible at faceoffs - way better when at home.

Bought time we got some sexy goaltending
Now let’s get back to sexy scoring and the circle of sex appeal would be complete.

I’m pretty sure Tolvainen was going to miss the net, so how big a save can it be when it shouldn’t be a shot on goal?

People think Dougie is the problem on this team in 2025I never liked Dougie, to be clear. His memes, funny videos, etc never landed with me because I dislike him that much, it's bad. Again, he's one of the most selfish players I've seen this organization tolerate. I also found great pride clowning the Siegenthaler-Dougie pairing back in 2023. Some people thought they were a championship pairing in 2024?I've had to discuss this pairing with free-website-statisticians, and I just gave up.
People forget we were leaking 2 on 1s well before Dougie was hurt in 2024.
On Palat, I totally agree, a few goals fom him are always appreciated. He works too hard for me to 'hate' him, he's The Little Engine That Could.
First paragraph tells you all you need to know about your unreasonable dislike for the guy.
Dougie led basically every chart analytic yesterday and still gets shit, poor guy

I get being down on Dougie for his play recently, but I don't get where you are inferring this "most selfish players you've ever seen this team tolerate". Im just wondering where you see that, or where you get that from because I do not get those vibes at all...
Dougie seems like a genuinely good guy outside of this team and with this team since he has been here. Are you getting this from prior teams?

so like 20% of Markstrom's saves were incredible.
I like Markstrom, don't love him. I'm happy we made the trade. But seeing those highlights from last night - lets me know he's got some elite goaltending still in him. And that makes me happy.
