Eating up the clock real good here.

 

[Fuhrious]

Wanted that for Beniers

 

[kihei]

Getting a little hair raising at the moment. Hold on.

 

[Fuhrious]

Squeaky bum time

I’m so late to the party, but it’s nice to see the Kraken generating chances.
My only concern would be that they seem inconsistent in how they do so.
Short connected possession driven passes seem to have given way to taking risks that a better team than Chicago will burn you on.

 

[Fuhrious]

Pump that trade value Tanev!

 

[Scomerica]

Is that...a streak!?!?

That's Kraken Hockey Babies

 

[Scomerica]

Way more nervy than it needed to be on that period. If eberle is out for any length beniers will have to really step up.

I think I'm ready for burakovsky and wright to sit some games for a bit.

Thought Evans was great

 

[The Marquis]

Love to see it. .500 hockey and it’s not even US Thanksgiving.

 

[Kevinsane]

Nice to see Daccord be human and still get the win. He’s been outstanding of late, so giving up one stinker is fine when he’s posting the kind of save percentage he’s rocking.

 

[kihei]

Tanev in the right place at the right time. The pest is scoring goals lately.

 

[Fuhrious]

The puck just dies on Burakovsky's stick, and he just doesn't seem to click with anyone. It's kind of depressing.

 

[kihei]

Even though it is against a team with problems, it's nice to win one we were expected to win. It seems Gourde/Tanev seem to be the straws that are stirring the drink lately.

It could have been a shutout. He goofed up.

 

[Fuhrious]

Honestly the eye-test gave the impression that Gourde and Bjorkstrand's bars on that graph should be swapped. Funny, that.

 

[Toomany7pins]

I love saying this…. Good gawd how I love the smell of empty net goals in the evening!!!!

Nice game by Joey inspite of some ugly defensive turnovers.

 

[Fuhrious]

I get that it was a milestone goal for him but I personally would have snuck Evans in there somewhere

The more I read post-game comments, including from Blackhawks writers, it WAS a pretty difficult game to watch. The first two periods were utterly putrid on Chicago's behalf and the Kraken just sort of durdled around either not taking advantage of good chances or flat out missing them when they landed in their laps. Kraken kind of dodged a bullet that when Chicago finally woke up after the Donato goal that they were able to keep it together, but it wasn't real pretty.

I guess the Kraken are back to being NHL .500.

Solid win outplaying their opponent.
And Joey keeps on doing his thing.
