GDT: GAME 51: YOUR SEATTLE KRAKEN (22-25-3) at Those Edmonton Oilers (31-15-3)

It sure would be nice to unload Burakovsky. Still 2 more years on that contract and I assume he has negative value at this point.

 

[The Marquis]

Well, this is a Kraken game alright. The comment I had earlier about them being up for it… well, once Edmonton got up for it, we looked less up for it.

 

[Kat Predator]

Well.

That sucked.

There's the empty netter. Even after we pulled Daccord, we couldn't get a shot on goal. Pathetic performance in a desperate situation.

I believe that is our eighth straight loss to the Oilers. After the first period, Edmonton didn't even have to work for it that hard.

I’m yelling at my phone at work “shoot the f***ing puck”. You have a man advantage someone has to have an open look!


Pass pass pass pass pass, puck stolen for an opponent empty net goal.

This team’s lack of urgency is baffling at times.

Would like to Bura and Gru’s contracts offloaded. Sometimes you have to eat bad contracts. Pull the bandaid off.

Sooooo the Kraken "empty net" group is Dunn - Montour - McCann - Bjorkstrand - Schwartz and Stephenson?

No Beniers? Kakko? Wright?

Kinda losing patience with Bylsma here...

I can't tell which of those guys you want Bylsma to take off the 6v5 group.

Around the 2 minutes to go point, down a goal, it was borderline annoying. They just stood in their own zone passing the puck back and forth like they had the lead and were trying to melt time off the clock. WTAF?

True. They were both bad signings and Francis needs to wake up behind the wheel.

I don't get why Burakovsky keeps getting the minutes he does. There are 9 other forwards on the roster that are better offensively than he is and most of them aren't the defensive liability he is either. Hayden, for example, was barely on the ice and got an assist.

I'd knock off one of the defensemen for starters. Insert Beniers, somebody who can make a play and is defensively responsible.

I don't feel like Stephenson belongs out there 6-on-5, and I'd argue based on his last 6-ish weeks of play McCann doesn't either.

I wish he could be buried on the 4th line but he doesn't suit that role either. Would prefer someone like Nyman over Burakovsky to be honest. Adds size to the team and could likely work on the 4th line as well.

I would like him and Gru to be bought out next season but I am not holding my breath.
