Those pesky Mariners

He did it(GDT)!!!

Nice game thread and let's go Kraken.

 

[The Marquis]

Kole Lind all “hold my beer”

 

[The Marquis]

It might be possible that the Kraken have figured out the Avs forechecking scheme. They have locked it down. Sure, it’s been 5 minutes. Holy shiiiit! Eberle!

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

LOL. They were so focused on cross-checking our players, they forgot to cover Eberle .. LOL.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Beniers gets another point on that goal. Kid has been PPG so far .. LOL.

 

[The Marquis]

This team over the last 7 minutes has looked like a team that should be in the playoffs.

The prime commercial that talks about how winking at a gal is enough to justify murder is super cool.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

This team over the last 7 minutes has looked like a team that should be in the playoffs.

I think the team has generally played better since the TDL. Probably a lot to do with the pressure of being traded off and also just playing for a spot next season. On our team or as a free agent.

 

[The Marquis]

Dunn has had Makar tonight so far.

 

[The Marquis]

Forslund. We are so lucky. Carolina is so dumb.

This team over the last 7 minutes has looked like a team that should be in the playoffs.

They have been completely out hustling teams the past few games.

It was the same to start the season.

I don't think it's sustainable over 82 games, as teams tend to have stretches where they coast, but it looks like they at least know what they need to do to have a chance to win.

It has to be a bonus thinking if you don’t make Seattle, you are like 90% more likely to pay taxes to the state.

For the record, in case you haven’t looked it up. Only Tampa, Florida, Dallas and Vegas are the only competition in this regard.

Holy shit. Goal!!!!

 

[sigma six]

Nice surprise to turn the game on and be up on the Avs of all people this early in the game. Probably just poking the bear but it's nice to see flashes.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Sweet Jeebus. It must be opposites day.

 

[The Marquis]

What team is this????

 

[The Marquis]

I’m going to stop talking. My fault. Lololol

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

This is when they should have just iced the puck. That pressure was killing us.

 

[sigma six]

It's just crazy how good Makar is. Has the skill, has the will.

 

[gstommylee]

I'm not annoyed at that goal by makar he's just that good.

 

[kihei]

Looks like I missed a hell of a period.

 

[Panteras]

Beniers is already such a good player. It’s great to see. Now all we need to do is draft Bedard ; )

 

[kihei]

Makar is like a rover back.
