Post-Game Talk: Game 39: Seattle Kraken (17-19-2, 9-8-2 Home) vs Vancouver Canucks (17-11-8, 10-4-2 Away) - 7:00 pm PT

Kraken account on Bluesky is saying Grubauer in net again. In fact, it says...

"Grubi’s best hockey has been played [since he returned from a week-long injury of his own],” said Bylsma. He's played a couple of great games where he has kept us in it, made some huge saves, and kept us in it the whole way. It’s great to see us get him some wins because early on the season, he was playing solid in the net and not getting the result.”

Looks like Hughes, Pettersson and Hronek are still out.

 

[McWeaselnubs]

Ya'll mind if i check in and show some love?

Vancouver losing an entire D pairing in Hughes and Hronek, and not having Hughes distributing the puck on their power play, in theory makes this a more winnable game for the Kraken. Let’s hope they capitalize.

Like to see the Kraken capitalize on a shorthanded Canucks squad that looks dead in the water...but...

Yeah, there is always a "but" in these situations, as in dangerous when wounded.

On a mixed feelings note, Sale gave Czech Republic a 3-1 lead with a nice top-shelf goal in the World Juniors. Now 3-2 going into the third period.

 

[McWeaselnubs]

Hell of a start there

 

[Fuhrious]

Brutal goal by Demko, but I’ll take it

 

[Bear of Bad News]

LGK

 

[Fuhrious]

I guess I did not truly realize how steep the drop is from their top pair to their second pair. Crazy.

 

[Fuhrious]

Ok…Grubauer has had a couple softballs to warm up on and his movement generally looks crisp and quick. Let’s see if that translates to no softies…?

Aaaaaand I jinxed it

 

[Bear of Bad News]

Weird ass bounce but that was after Heinen was left wide open.

Ugly goal. Sasson looked like he was surprised it went in.

Grubauer getting back to the right post at an absolutely glacial pace

 

[Bear of Bad News]

Can't believe Joshua got away with that shit and brought Montour to the box with him.

 

[kihei]

That Vancouver player looks like Frankenstein.

 

[Fuhrious]

Don’t understand why Montour deserves to go there

 

[Fuhrious]

McCann has his shooting boots on tonight

 

[kihei]

Three giveaways in thirty seconds. Yikes.

 

[Fuhrious]

Demko appears to be growing into the game.

A jinx on this take would be fine

 

[Cisse]

I hate it when the player has a free spot to shoot but decides to pass for a teammate that is not in a better position.

 

[Fuhrious]

The o-zone puck movement on the powerplay is rage inducing. 5 guys who clearly have zero plans or ideas.

 

[Cisse]

Myers is no Hughes on power play.
