Game 41: New Jersey Devils (24-15-3) at YOUR SEATTLE KRAKEN (17-20-3)

[kihei]

The Kraken seemed to have slipped into a defensive mode over the last few minutes. Grubauer again keeping us in the game.

Spoke too soon. And another inexplicable goal in the last minute of the period. At what point in Seattle will folks start to boo?

 

[Bear of Bad News]

Hrm.

 

[Bear of Bad News]

and here we go

 

[Toomany7pins]

Absolutely cannot give up late goals like that as a goalie.

 

[Bear of Bad News]

Somehow those are the first penalties of the game.

 

[kihei]

Looking at the replays, Wright made a rookie mistake and got caught out of position, but the d-men weren't exactly rushing back full speed either. And that is the kind of shot you want your goalie to bail you out on a significant amount of the time.

On the kerfuffle on the boards. Kakko didn't hesitate to step in to defend his teammate. Then, other guys decided, gee, maybe we should step forward too. Didn't notice a rush before that.

 

[kihei]

Only down by one and it's not like we have been exactly dominated. A winnable game, for sure.

 

[sigma six]

Fantastic, boy did Wright need that one.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Would be a shame if the Kraken can't muster enough support for Gru's efforts...has played pretty well the last 3-5 games I'm thinking...tonight especially...got to pull out all the stops and Lucky Rabbit's feet

 

[Bear of Bad News]

that’s the wright time for a power play goal!

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Great pass by Kakko.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Just as I was writing the Wright man does it!!!Hurrah!!!

 

[sigma six]

And then Palat shuts everyone up.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Well that was a short tie.

 

[Bear of Bad News]

Aww crap.

 

[kihei]

Wright makes up for his earlier defensive lapse in a big way. He is definitely going to be a big part of our future.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Shiite and double shite

 

[Toomany7pins]

I’ll be glad when 31 isn’t wearing Seattle colors anymore. He’s horrible.

 

[kihei]

Grubauer looked like an out-of-shape firstbaseman trying to catch a baseball.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Right on the doorstep and comes up with Oxygen

We're back to watching instead of taking it to the Devils

 

[kihei]

How did Tolvanen miss that?

 

[kihei]

Not only are we watching, we are disappearing. Either our D-men have been behind the play in the last 15 minutes or they are wearing invisibility cloaks. Sometimes the players need to bail out the goalie, too.

This is what I dont understand. Does our coaching have such a hard time or are the players flat out not executing it.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

I’ll be glad when 31 isn’t wearing Seattle colors anymore. He’s horrible.

Not tonight he isn't

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Well .. maybe put an effort like this for majority of the game instead of the last 10.
