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

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

One of the entry attempts look the Three Stooges on skates. Wish they'd get this fixed.

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

Oleksiak needs to punch fkcing Dakota in the mouth

Problem with the PP is the Kraken have too many mouths to feed

You can see the stark difference in powerplay scheme with them happening back to back like that. Vancouver makes crisp deliberate passes pulling at threads trying to set up a cross-ice one timer or a seam into the slot. Seattle is just mindlessly playing hot potato with it, hoping a defenseman decides to take a slap shot.

The Czechs move on to the semis. Captain Sale has five goals and two assists in seven games. Overall, he is seventh in the world junior tournament in scoring at the moment.

Good to Sale have success...all the best to the youngster

Even with Grubauer in net, this feels like a very winnable game to me so far.

 

[kihei]

Two breakaways in about fifteen seconds and Garland buries the second one as Grubauer flounders on the ice.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Garland is really unrated...he's a good little player and scores some nice goals

Maybe Demko needs to go Throw up ala Glenn Hall style

 

[Cisse]

We are just pathetic.

 

[kihei]

What a shift for the Canucks. Oleksiak was out there for four straight minutes, Wright for almost as long, everybody else except Beniers was in the two and a half minute range. It's a moral victory just to survive that.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

So did Demko pull a groin muscle? Seems odd he left...man he's been having injury problems practically his whole career

 

[Fuhrious]

I’d love to have Conor Garland on the Kraken, kinda feel like he’d be amazing with either Beniers or Wright

 

[Cisse]

Sometimes I wish there still was guys like Dave Semenko to put "joshuas" on their proper place.

 

[kihei]

Both of these teams look awful. A battle between the resistible force versus the movable object.

Heeey I used that one a couple weeks ago to describe the Kraken PP against somebody!

Tyrion Lannister tormenting us again?

Just so frustrating to watch. It's not like Vancouver looks like world-beaters or anything. Hopefully we turn it around in the third period.

 

[Fuhrious]

I don't understand why they decided to emphasize calling all the "incidental" trips like that one, but still let guys just cross-check the everliving shit out of each other in front of the net. Weird hill to die on, infraction-wise.

Also, the updated black/red/yellow Canucks jerseys are imo the best jerseys in the entire league (especially with the matte black helmets) and every game they wear these dumb orca shirts in their place is an affront against both God and mankind.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Listening and watching the games are mostly be really good but sometimes the feed gets glitchy and frustrating to watch

 

[Fuhrious]

I dunno man, that didn't look like Grubauer's view of the shot from Myers was obstructed or anything. Nice shot I guess but you sure wish Grubauer would have that one.

Shite

 

[kihei]

Of all people, Myers. I mean, that's insulting.

If not for his age going on 35 would like if the Kraken had him as the 5th-6th Dman

I'm hoping the Kraken get the likes of RD-man Logan Hensler in the upcoming 2025 NHL drafts 1st round! He looks like a keeper for Team USA at the World Juniors in Ottawa

 

[Fuhrious]

Yes, this is the way...

If the Powerplay is gonna be cheeks, run Beniers - Wright - Kakko

Give the kids ALLLLLLLL the minutes.

 

[sigma six]

There you go, nice!
