Dang, if Teravainen didn't fumble that, the goal probably doesn't happen.

Kraken have as much talent and skill as any NHL team...but...they just don't have a whole lot of Chemistry not sure why

No they don't. Come on now.

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Its been painful

 

[Fuhrious]

No they don't. Come on now.

Glad I wasn’t the only one who thought this

 

[kihei]

These days a two goal deficit in the third seems like a ten goal deficit.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

No they don't. Come on now.

Individually they have some good even great players but they can't put it together...I guess players are waiting until another shoe drops becausse this can't continue right

Let's not kid ourselves. This statement doesn't bear the least scrutiny.

 

[Fuhrious]

Can’t wait to hear the usual litany of excuses about effort and compete level

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Having Eberle out really zapped the Beniers,McCann line...then having Dunner out awhile didn't help matters...

Jfc man if you think this is because Eberle is missing, feel free to pass around whatever it is you’re smoking

We have 0 elite players on this team right now. I have hopes that some of our young prospects turn into an elite type player but even that worries me because outside of Catton, I have no idea who else could be that.

But the problem with this team right now is beyond that. Bedard will be a superstar but he is not there yet. Chicago is not a good team. And yet, we are not just being outscored, but outplayed by them. I don't want to throw Bylsma under the bus because it's too early to say but he has not been able to get any more out of this roster than Hakstol did.

The team goes on a win streak to give us some glimmer of hope that they figured it out just to go on a longer losing streak. I genuinely do not know what is wrong but I know it extends beyond the quality of players on the team.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Don't smoke but I like Psilocybin though if that counts and some Peyote once in awhile

 

[Bear of Bad News]

Well, I like Eberle.

I agree that the loss of Eberle did affect the team. Same with Dunner. But injuries are such an integral part of hockey, the team cannot rely on a healthy team for the season.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

There. The only line generating offense scored.

 

[Fuhrious]

Wright line with a dominant shift and they cash in

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Fukcing right...1 at a time

 

[Bear of Bad News]

I also like Evans.

 

[kihei]

Evans finally gets us a goal as Wright's line works hard and it pays off.

 

[Fuhrious]

Well, I like Eberle.

I’m sure he’s a nice guy but he’s a million years old and had cooled off entirely from his crazy hot start. Don’t BlueSky Grubauer me, these Finnish guys and Rangers fans have made this GDT tough sledding.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Welcome everyone to the last 10 minutes of a Kraken game. This is when the Kraken put in their 10 minutes of union mandated effort in the game.

Solid jinx

 

[kihei]

That's a back breaker.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Solid jinx

Sure. I will take the blame. Give the team a break today.
