GDT: Game 50 | Jackets at Kraken | 1/27 10:00 pm

[MoeBartoli]

Have watched the Kraken only a few times this year but they have shown a crisp game each time

Uhh, and what do you think about the Robinson-Kuraly-Olivier line??

I like the Foudy/Bemstrom combo. Roslovic not so much. Foudy “hate” around here is getting annoying to me. Bemstrom also, to a lesser extent.

Several thoughts here:

1) teams cannot afford to have two energy lines and that role already belongs to the Robby-Kurls-Olivier line. Two very good PKers and a guy paid to police the other team and not screw up. All three players play their role just fine. That third line needs to provide more offense.

2) Foudy is not a productive player. It's not entirely his fault because Jarmo way over-drafted him and then sold us on expectations the kid was probably never going to meet. It also doesn't help that Marchenko taken in the second round of that draft has easily surpassed him and appears to have a higher ceiling. Would not be shocked if Marchenko's current goal total surpasses Foudy's career total when it ends.

3) Sorry you find the Foudy hate "annoying". I don't hate him but the only people who can change the narrative that Foudy and Bemmer face is to be more productive players on the ice. TBH I don't understand your love for JAGS.

4) Would you agree that Bemmer and Foudy would not sniff the ice on a legit playoff team? And Rosy is a guy I hope we can trade at TDL.

I do recognize we are going to need to agree to disagree.

Props to Kraken feed for showing old Bjorkstrand footage from his Winterhawks days.

And their uniforms are top shelf

 

[EDM]

Foudy is now and always has been a joke as an NHL player.

 

[ViD]

Great penalty to take with 3 sec left

 

[MoeBartoli]

What a sad offensive showing by us so far.

 

[tunnelvision]

And their uniforms are top shelf

Not so sure about that but the broadcast crew has to be one of the best in the league.

Great color scheme.

I want to know (read: I don’t want to know) what our 1st period shot for/shot against totals are the past 10ish games.

 

[Halfboard]

I'm developing a strong hatred for Gudbranson.......,what an abject waste of $$$$. Good move Jarmo....

 

[MoeBartoli]

For sure. They basically have a top level national hockey broadcast team

 

[CBJWerenski8]

can’t believe Gudbranson didn’t get 5 and a game for that

 

[Halfboard]

JLGP rockin' the Burrow look tonight..

 

[Long Live Lyle]

can’t believe Gudbranson didn’t get 5 and a game for that

Which is better for our chances: only having to kill two minutes but allowing Gudbranson remain in the lineup, or having to kill five minutes but no Gudbranson the rest of the game?

Just makes me feel worse about our own broadcast team

This is the worst defensive team I've seen in a long, long time

I do wonder if Jody would be better if he had a better play by play partner he wasn't constantly correcting. I also wonder if the team restricts how honest he can be about the team because I think he's been pretty good on national playoff broadcasts.

Well, Gavrikov is gone…

Peeke might be moved

Guys like Berni, Christensen, Bayreuther are all AHLers

Gudbranson is unmovable

That leaves us with Werenski, Blankenburg, Gudbranson, Jiricek, Boqvist, Bean and possibly some free agent pickup

 

[CBJWerenski8]

That was a nice save there by Elvis

Bjork looked like an NHL blue liner when he was up here.

 

[Doggy]

Actually a couple of nice defensive plays by Jake and Gavin and then a fantastic looking save by Elvis!

Tried to get the Kracken broadcast from ESPN+ but shown as blacked out in my area. Tried with a VPN and it stopped me because it suspected a VPN. Anyone got a workaround? (Having to watch Rims on Bally)
