Columbus is hard to dislike, but I'm looking forward to disliking them in three hours or so.

Grubauer starts, 1-1 but I hadnt tuned in time to see either goal. Sounded like the CBJ goal was a missed defensive assignment by Montour.
 
Name a more iconic duo than "Martin Grubauer" and "making a save then frantically whipping your head around to try to figure out where the puck went"
 
I missed the first 19 minutes as well - actually, the only play I saw was when I was bringing my daughter down from the bath and Columbus scored.

Work has me busy but I see CBJ has scored another

Ok caught the clip…Oleksiak letting him stand in front of Grubauer, no physical presence whatsoever. Not tying up his body or stick. Both just waving at the puck and hope you hit it instead of the CBJ player. Piss poor defense.
 
Whew 3-1 now…Werenski. Waiting for the clip to hit NHL.com

Aaaaaaaaaaaand 4-1

Yikes

Clips for the 3rd and 4th look like the usual "Kraken have the puck on their stick, fail to get it out of the zone, other team maintains pressure and finally scores" problem.

Grubauer'd on the 5th imo.
 
SV% of .737 for Grub.

Our guys just cluelessly wandering around the defensive zone thinking about whether to have the tuna salad or the bacon sandwich after the game doesn't really help anything.

Man, it’s frustrating as hell to watch a big body that doesn’t use it. Oleksiak should elicit fear from anyone in front of the Seattle net, but he very rarely does. And he’s not good enough to neglect a physical role.

It look like it is time to buyout Grubauer at the end of the season. When the homers calling the game struggle to find anything good to say, you're cooked extra crispy.

Nice shot by Tolvanen. He came to play at least.

Can't remember if it was Fistful or RCH who coined the term "the Kraken showing up to play their union-mandated 10 minutes of hockey at the end of the 3rd"
 
0 for 2 on the PP tonight.

I want to see a place for Campbell in this organization as she's such a widely respected skating guru, but I really struggle to see how this coaching staff survives this season with their jobs.

Pulling the goalie with over 4 minutes left on the clock. That's how you know things are going spectacularly well.
