Quick and dirty, sorry. Not seeing anything obvious on starting goalie(s). Winterton up, Beniers' birthday.

After three certifiable stinkers in a row, I am very curious to see how the Kraken come out tonight. Hopefully pissed off and firing from all cannons. At least the game will have the added bonus of keeping me distracted from US election results. Tender mercy, that.

 

[The Marquis]

f*** politics, I’m here for the Kraken and for the first time wearing my Eberle away sweater, hope that sends the right vibes since everything I do partly determines the Kraken successes.

 

[The Marquis]

Gut the entire damn team.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Why the heck would you start Grubi in net, if you are trying to end a losing streak. They really need to stop this rotating crap and go with Daccord as our starter.

 

[The Marquis]

This is friggin ugly

 

[Kevinsane]

These zone entries don’t work. They’ve seldom worked. Teams know exactly what the Kraken are going to do, and counter with active sticks at the blueline. This is the definition of insanity.

 

[kihei]

Don't know what I am watching.

 

[Fuhrious]

Finally manage to get the game on (watching from work) and the Kraken are already down 1-0...awesome.

Hey, a tie, Let's build on this now as we have some incentive.

Damn, how far behind is my stream? They're still down 1-0 and just went on a PP here?

 

[Kevinsane]

Two three game losing streaks already this season, and they start Grubauer over the only guy who’s kept games close?!

Bold strategy, Cotton.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Where is the game on? I am struggling to find a stream.

 

[Fuhrious]

Yikes at those PP/PK rankings for each team...when a stoppable force meets a movable object

The exact definition, actually. Repeating the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

You have a DM

 

[kihei]

Well, that's good news. Now let's build on it for once.

 

[The Marquis]

That’s far from the first time Grubauer hasn’t had control of an easily controllable puck in this stretch of getting our asses kicked.

 

[Fuhrious]

Wright puck-watching. Might be time for him to sit a game, tbh.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

You have a DM

Thanks. But I was just wondering where it is on locally. I have Fubo, Amazon Prime and ESPN+ and its not working on any of those three.

 

[kihei]

And just over a minute later, and we are behind the eight ball again. Lot of Colorado players had a lot of ice there.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

That’s far from the first time Grubauer hasn’t had control of an easily controllable puck in this stretch of getting our asses kicked.

Thats his style. When you are a positional goalie like he is, he just cannot get back in time to make saves off his rebounds. I have seen Daccord give up some bad rebounds this season too but he is athletic enough to make it back.

 

[Fuhrious]

They are getting absolutely caved these past 3 or 4 minutes.

 

[Fuhrious]

I did not enjoy that period of hockey

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Just tuned in...Bjorkstrand is not in the line up?

 

[kihei]

Too often that period, our players looked like deer trapped in the headlights. They just don't seem to have a clue how to compete against a good team. Head-scratcher of a reaction to a new coach.

 

[The Marquis]

Just tuned in...Bjorkstrand is not in the line up?

No, he was healthy scratched. So was Kartye. The team has been largely invisible except the one play that led to the goal and Beniers and Eberle have had a couple of nice moments, otherwise, they look like an AHL team.
