GDT: Game 76: Colorado Avalanche (55-15-6) @ Seattle Kraken (25-44-6) - 7:00 p.m. PT / 10:00 p.m. ET - ROOT NW - ALTITUDE

[Kat Predator]

Maybe I should go back to work. 3-1? Up on the Avs?

 

[kihei]

The Avalanche buzzing around but they aren't generating hardly any scoring chances this period.

 

[The Marquis]

Kraken are controlling the narrative here. I think we won the TDL. Seriously.

 

[kihei]

Any period where you shut out the Avalanche has got to be considered a good one.

 

[kihei]

Avalanche struggling to get through the neutral zone. One of the best team defensive efforts of the year. Against COLARADO.

 

[The Marquis]

about 4 minutes of “they’re about to score” ended in their favor… maybe.

 

[kihei]

Uh, oh. One goal lead now.

 

[kihei]

Avalanche can't get control of the puck

 

[sigma six]

They have those "first game of a road trip" blues I guess, still a close game. Fun to watch.

 

[kihei]

We are going to avoid disaster on this one, right?

 

[The Marquis]

First three win streak! Against the Avs. Things are looking up.

 

[kihei]

Fun game, not to mention we win. A team victory tonight if there ever was one.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Solid win.

 

[gstommylee]

Only giving up 2 goals vs avs is a massive WIN.

first game was 7-3 loss 2nd game was 4-2 loss final game of season 3-2 win agianst one of the top teams in the league.

 

[Toomany7pins]

Great win. Maybe the team is starting to gel?????
Bodes good for next year if so.

 

[RainyCityHockey]

Three in a row

Great start and never looked back even though the Avs tried to get back into it.

Now we're back on the road for a back-to-back at Minny and Dallas.

I think they caught a pretty big break playing against an Avs team without Toews, Rantanen, and Landeskog, and drawing Francouz instead of Kuemper, but it does feel really good to not get swept by them, especially after the first meeting.

Do not underestimate colorado even if they don't have all their best players playing.

Do not underestimate colorado even if they don't have all their best players playing.

They are no doubt still a good team, but when you are playing without 4 out of arguably your most important 6 players, that is a pretty big handicap.

Thanks kraken, please stay ahead of PHI

Thanks kraken, please stay ahead of PHI

Don't think the Flyers need any help from us at this point. They are doing it all by themselves.

 

[ugiswrong]

You have the regulation win tiebreaker, your next four games I’m hoping you get at least two points, and then the last two are winnable.

What we do won't matter at all if the Flyers just don't win any games. They are on a 6 game losing streak currently and have played one more game than us. They could just lose out not making a difference.

Yeah, like I've said, there's now way we'll finish below the Flyers.
They're basically the worst performing team(outside of Arizona and Montreal) of those bottom six and won't win much the rest of the way.

 

[The Marquis]

Imagine where Arizona would be if they didn’t have that mid season run.
