Thanks a lot to the NHL for letting McDavid sit around for a few games to come back and face us.

Kraken (22-25-3) at Oilers (31-15-3) | 6:30 p.m. | Seattle Kraken

One: Win the game We’re getting to the point in the season where if the Kraken are going to close the playoff gap, they’ll need to start stringing together wins. And in unexpected places at that. Edmonton is one of those places. The Kraken have only ever won a single

Normally I’d agree but Seattle has less the a 3% chance at making the playoffs. Sacrifice the game tonight with Gru in net.

I expect 5 or 6 to get by Gru tonight. It’s going to get ugly early.

Yeah thats some NFL style BS right there.

Love me two points against the Oilers.

Got lucky on Drai's first pp shot. Had Joey beaten but clanked it off the pipe.

 

[kihei]

Tolavanen gives us the lead.

 

[sigma six]

I'm confused, this team already has ten SOG and the first is only half over.
Lately it seems like they hit that deep in the second period.

 

[The Marquis]

The Kraken sure look “up for it” tonight. High effort.

 

[Bear of Bad News]

Tough deflection.

 

[kihei]

Well, that's a drag.

 

[Bear of Bad News]

There. We. Go.

 

[kihei]

Dunn gives us the lead back. Looks like we have come to play tonight.

 

[Bear of Bad News]

I love my Thunderbird goalies. With that said, we should not lose to Calvin Pickard.

 

[Bear of Bad News]

Damn McDavid.

 

[Fuhrious]

lmao turned it on just in time to see a McDavid/Hyman 2-on-1...

 

[PanniniClaus]

Just poor rush defense from Seattle.. I don't know that any of the three players in the picture really read what was happening. .... against McDavid no less.

 

[Fuhrious]

I've seen beer league teams with better defensive zone structure than this

 

[Bear of Bad News]

Fantastic tip by Bjork!

 

[Bear of Bad News]

Goddamn.

 

[sigma six]

Screw you Corey Perry! Also I think EDM has my least favorite goal horn.

 

[kihei]

Man, this game changed complexion fast.

 

[kihei]

I forced to watch an Edmonton feed, and their colour guy is mind-numbingly bad.

 

[Bear of Bad News]

Whew.

 

[kihei]

After a promising beginning we find ourselves right in the middle of the same old soup again. Only a one goal deficit heading into the third but the way we are playing defense doesn't give me a lot of cause for hope.

 

[kihei]

It's not like our forwards don't get the puck in good shooting position sometimes. It's that so often when they do, they don't fire the puck but just glide out of the play looking to pass to somebody else. That must have happened five or six times tonight.
