GDT: Game 55: wings at our boys

[Bear of Bad News]

Starting this from bed snuggling my kiddo because I don’t see one yet.

Go Kraken! Way to tie it up.

Well, boobs. At least the power play is over .

Detroit has looked pretty decent this year. We've faced one goal deficits before, and they tend to go either way . Hope springs eternal, though.

 

[kihei]

That first goal happened in the blink of the eye. I had to watch the replay twice to catch how they scored.

 

[kihei]

Detroit is starting to manhandle us in our own zone. Plus, we are not generation enough offense in their zone to even mention.

....and Wright changes all that in an instant. We are back in this game, which didn't look like it would happen.

 

[The Marquis]

Wright’s 10th is a nice number. Love to see it.

 

[Bear of Bad News]

Love that Wright goal!

 

[Bear of Bad News]

Man, Berggren is coming into form this year.

 

[Fuhrious]

That's a save Daccord has made for this team more often than not. Hard to be mad, he just got beat.

Might have been a little distracted by Tanev stretching out his stick. But, yeah, that has to count as a weak goal.

Yeah, over the past couple seasons Ive been pretty hard on Grubauer for goals like that. Kinda feels like I should at least try to be consistent.

They're getting some decent chances, even if it still feels like Detroit kinda has the momentum?

Well, maybe not? That was a good shift by Wright's line.

 

[Fuhrious]

"There's been a lot of advertisements for food tonight, here's another one...I'm hungry!"

lmao

 

[Kevinsane]

I know that shots on goal isn’t always indicative of actual chances, but it’s remarkable how often this season the Kraken have struggled to put the puck on net on home ice.

Now would be the time for an effective power play.

 

[Fuhrious]

Why does the PP _still_ look so clunky?

Even Forslund is like "I thought McCann was gonna shoot there!" and JT replies "Me too!"

I don't even think the players know half the time. The PP still looks like a bunch of guys who have never played together before.

 

[kihei]

Kakko almost nabs a late goal. This has been a pretty scruffy game, but I have been entertained. It feels like a one-goal deficit that we could overcome.

...or not.

 

[The Marquis]

Oh man, the Kraken skaters left Joey out to dry there. Brutal. Zero effort.

 

[Fuhrious]

Late coming back from the intermission and missed it. Wings already have 30 shots...?

 

[The Marquis]

Damn Wright!

 

[Fuhrious]

I lied last game...

"As good as a Kraken game gets this season" is seeing them make a good effort, not score any points that ruin their draft position...AND see kids like Wright do stuff like that.

 

[kihei]

What hands from Wright. Back to a one goal deficit.

 

[kihei]

Must be bumpy ice tonight. A lot of stumbles from both teams.

 

[Fuhrious]

Oof so close for Wright...

Damn you Cups for making me cheer

 

[The Marquis]

Cupssssssssssss!!!!!

 

[Fuhrious]

That's at least the 2nd or 3rd really nice stretch pass Tanev has made tonight, too

 

[The Marquis]

The Kraken want this one. The effort is high
