Tying to force a cross ice pass is a no-no

 

[Fuhrious]

They've clearly been briefed to aggressively close on Kraken players when shorthanded, presumably because they know Kraken players will cough up the puck.

This could easily be 5 or 6 but for Grubauer

Beniers lasers a snapshot directly into the Oilers patch on Pickard's chest

 

[kihei]

I know what we are doing. We are lulling them into a false sense of security.

 

[Fuhrious]

Gonna be 3-0 here reeeeeeeaaaal soon

 

[kihei]

The nail in the coffin.

 

[Fuhrious]

Embarassing

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

shite

 

[Fuhrious]

Cups

 

[kihei]

Finally got a goal on an Oiler miscue. Hope that rouses the team out of its slumber.

 

[Fuhrious]

Good shift after the goal, keep it going

 

[Fuhrious]

I dunno man...they had a burst of energy after the goal, but then that shift in the final minute they're all standing around watching McDavid? Dont have a great feeling about this one.

 

[kihei]

Credit where it is due. To the extent that we are still in it going into the third period, we have Grubauer to thank for that. The score could be much worse.

 

[Kevinsane]

It’s disheartening to see what pushovers the Kraken can be on home ice when facing the better teams in the NHL.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

I don't have answers for what has transpired for most of this season...it just feels as though the Evil Parallel Universe Spock is running is against the Kraken most of the time

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

So with Gourde outta the line up does that mean he's headed out or is something else happening?

What happened to Lars?

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

In the past the Kraken went hard shift after shift after shift...this year has been strange and just doesn't feel like the same team...did they undergo a heart transplant that went awry

 

[kihei]

It’s disheartening to see what pushovers the Kraken can be on home ice when facing the better teams in the NHL.

The crowd has seemed very forgiving. But this kind of play is going to be hard to tolerate indefinitely if you are paying cold hard cash for tickets.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Schwartz is the man...Have liked the way The Schwartz has played for a long long long time

They are within one they aren't dead yet...could be the Spark they need

 

[kihei]

Hell of a save by Grubauer. Too bad we are wasting this performance.

 

[Fuhrious]

Just managed to get the 3rd turned on and they clawed back within 1, huh?

"Adam Larsson injured and will not be back tonight"

Ouch

 

[kihei]

What do you know? Only a goal behind. Glad we got here though I wasn't exactly expecting it.

 

[Fuhrious]

Bjorkstrand hit the effing net my guy

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Bjork had him

 

[Fuhrious]

OK looked like Pickard got a piece of it on the replay

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

John Glenn played for Black Hawks in the 60's...Eddie should know that...
