GDT: Game 43: Buffalo Sabres (16-21-5, 8-10-3 Home) vs your(?) SEATTLE KRAKEN (17-22-3, 8-12-0 Away) - 1:00 PM PST

[Fuhrious]

Equalliing my disappointment with the on-ice product, the official Kraken account appears to have stopped posting on BlueSky 5 days ago. Now just seeing their content from Twitter re-posted on BlueSky by the 3rd-party repost bot. But hey its cool, lets keep handing money to Elon Musk while he yammers on about overthrowing the UK's government.



No starting goalie information that I'm seeing posted yet for either team.

We talk a lot about "what does this team even do in this situation?" here, now imagine being in that same situation but having players like Rasmus Dahlin, Alex Tuch, and Tage Thompson on your roster? Gotta be frustrating.

Also didn't realize this was a true matinee. I'm unlikely to warp afternoon plans around trying to catch this one, given how they've played the last few. Probably just catch the "highlights".

 

[Fuhrious]

Checked the score while waiting for the wife to finish getting ready to leave...down 1-0 after 4 minutes.

See everyone later tonight.

 

[Bear of Bad News]

Dammit, there’s that first goal.

 

[Fuhrious]

Daccord starting too

Was that Tanev brainlessly skating the puck around in the d-zone before whiffing on the pass and handing it to Tuch?

Awesome...

Is there any team in this league that isn't easily able to just dominate the Kraken?

No kidding. You’d think a hungry team (and they should be) would come out on fire and ready to kick the butts of an opponent.
Nope.

 

[RainyCityHockey]

2-0

This team is done

 

[McWeaselnubs]

That's abysmal D.

 

[Bear of Bad News]

Back door plays are our weakness.

 

[Bear of Bad News]

Okay, one of our weaknesses.

 

[RainyCityHockey]

OK, Bjorki fighting is a new one....

 

[RainyCityHockey]

Maybe we should start playing Joey up front and Oleksiak in goal, or some shit.

Probably won't look any different....

 

[Bear of Bad News]

At least I don’t have to stay up late for this one.

 

[Toomany7pins]

7 shots?

Not watching this one. I am starting to wonder if Bylsma is going to get fired mid-season

I think most of us agree it was unlikely but surely if the team completely bottoms out something would have to happen?

 

[McWeaselnubs]

That was a pretty sketchy looking elbow there

Edit: Looked like straight shoulder to the head

Me too. This is just an awful season thus far, with no reason to think it’ll get any better. GM’s usually get to hire/fire two coaches, so I’d suspect Francis’ ass is feeling the heat.
I would love to see David Carle, the USA World Juniors coach, behind the bench if he’d take the job.

 

[McWeaselnubs]

There's one!

 

[RainyCityHockey]

2-2

 

[McWeaselnubs]

Knotted up! I like that push in the 2nd

 

[Kevinsane]

Whatta ya know? A game.
