[The Marquis]

Well, been out mushroom hunting all day and forgot about this game. Turn it on, 20 seconds later, go ahead goal.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Oleksiak scores

 

[Sad People]

No chance thats GI but with that said i would not be surprised if the goal get called back.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

That's a good goal the contact was seconds before and had no bearing on the goal

 

[Sad People]

Noice.

 

[Fuhrious]

Daccord absolutely massive on that SH breakaway save

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Yes a Win is a Win is a Win...

Will Gru play again? Maybe tomorrow I guess

[Kevinsane]

Just got home from work. Another game where Daccord is the best Kraken on the ice?

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

If I was doing an interview with the player I'd ask him about his play,his goal and then the team...just saying

 

[Kevinsane]

Man, I feel kinda bad for Islanders fans. That team is absolutely wasting Ilya Sorokin’s prime.

Made some excellent saves for sure...the best...well the 4th line sure was good probably the best

Thanks! That’s nice to hear. Depth scoring is a great thing to have.

It sure isn' the dynastic team of the early '80's that's for sure but bad drafting for the most part,bad development of young talent and lack of cohesion,chemistry will do that to you plus having to compete with the Rangers and Devils who have lots of money,talent and skill and both do a better job of drafting/Developing talent...

Good points. I can’t think of a recent Isles draft pick who’s broken out.

 

[Fuhrious]

A lot of post-game chatter about Burakovksy's "confidence being high", from both the player and Bylsma. Not sure why that's a hot topic atm, didn't really feel like he did a lot this game or last. I'm guessing it's because iirc he's the only player besides Mahura to score a goal?

 

[kihei]

Looks like I missed a great comeback, Gourde, Tanev and McCann coming through big for us once again--it seems a nightly occurrence lately. Thought that pass from Bura to McCann for the goal was one of the prettiest I've seen this year. What a nailbiter, though--probably would have taken a year off my life just watching it.

 

[Fuhrious]

Gourde and Tanev were absolutely dynamite all night long, which feels wild to say given how much I slagged Tanev last season. Almost makes me think Francis should be on the horn shopping both of them as a package deal. Plug and play fantastic 3rd line for just about anyone in the league.

I agree in principal but we are on a 4 game winning streak and 2 points from a playoff spot. It's just not going to happen. They are also the only line that has been effective consistently during this win streak.

I was at the game Tuesday and Burakovsky was noticeably faster than everyone on the ice. He was making people look silly out there. Someone commented “Burky is showing off”
I’m guessing maybe its because he’s finally healthy?

I thought it was a 7pm game.
Nice to know they won. Go Kraken!

I thinking more than likely Gru will start (unfortunately) just to give Joey a rest and it being a back to back game.

If you’re going to have Gru start, I suppose it’s wise to choose a game the Kraken will struggle to win.

Yeah, I was kidding honestly. I don't think trades like that have ever been common in league history.

I was kind of thinking the same thing.
