GDT: Game 9: Hurricanes at Kraken

Kevinsane · Friday at 6:48 PM

One of the worst logos in sports visits one of the nicest.

The Canes have played six games and are 4-2. They handed Calgary their first regular season loss last night with a 4-2 win.

Grubauer likely gets the start for our 4-3-1 Kraken, who fell in OT to the Jets yesterday in a very entertaining tilt.

Two tired teams, but our squad is at home, so hopefully they come out strong.

I’m in Vancouver visiting family, and driving down to Seattle tomorrow for my first visit to Climate Pledge Arena. Is anyone else going to the game?

Ngl for a second I thought "wait there's a game tonight?"

My fault. I lost track of the days. It’s a Canadian thing.

At this stage of the season, this seems like a pretty even match up. Home ice could be, should be the difference. Despite some miscues in the last game, I am hoping Daccord gets the start so he begins to actually feel that he is our #1 go-to goalie.

I will likely be missing this entire game. Might catch the end. Trying to be a good husband and father this evening.

I cant shake the game against Calgary the other night. Carolina looked goooooooooooood. I'm a bit pessimistic but would LOVE for the Kraken to come out flying and prove me wrong.

I am watching the Spokane Chiefs game and Catton has scored both of his teams goals. One SHG and the other was ridiculous hand-eye co-ordination type of goal. His team looks pretty bad though. His line seems to be the only one doing something today.

Fuhrious · 2024-10-26T22:13:29-0400

They are sooooooo aggressive on the forecheck, and Colorado kinda showed the Kraken dont handle that super well

Kevinsane · 2024-10-26T22:13:30-0400

I’m at the game. Does KJR radio always lag 45 seconds behind the actual play?

Kevinsane · 2024-10-26T22:17:09-0400

You could see that coming. No chance for Daccord.

Fuhrious · 2024-10-26T22:17:51-0400

Oof

Not a great start

Two PKs in the first 5 is not ideal. Joey huge.

kihei · 2024-10-26T22:36:25-0400

Not the start we needed.

Kevinsane · 2024-10-26T22:37:04-0400

PP.time, and up til now it’s been pretty much all Carolina.

kihei · 2024-10-26T22:42:20-0400

Big save by Joey. He could have a busy night at this rate.

Kevinsane · 2024-10-26T22:46:11-0400

Good effort the last part of the first, but the D seemed really passive in their own zone at times.

kihei · 2024-10-26T22:47:00-0400

Damn, the Canes are one tenacious team. They're, like, playing in a whole different gear than we are right now, like they are already in midseason form.

Absolutely. They’ve forced turnovers just on how fast they’re on Kraken puck carriers.

Better start to the second. A power play goal here would be nice.

kihei · 2024-10-26T23:14:54-0400

I don't think Joey has faced a shot yet this period.

Kevinsane · 2024-10-26T23:15:02-0400

So much stick waving and standstill as a group inside the D zone. Nobody attacking the Carolina puck carrier. It looks like a five man PK, and it gives up waaay too many chances.

Kevinsane · 2024-10-26T23:19:37-0400

Joey Daccord is going to get some Vezina votes at the end of the season. He’s so positionally sound, and reads shooters exceptionally well.

kihei · 2024-10-26T23:20:55-0400

Hate to say it, but this feels more like a game that is going to shortly be 2-0 rather than 1-1.

Fuhrious · 2024-10-26T23:22:05-0400

Still just feel very "on their heels"

His rebounds have been a bit "yikes" tonight, with the kick-outs and blocker punches. I'd like to see him rein those in a decent bit.

Called Gourde for the slash but honestly looked like he could have gotten one for a high stick a couple seconds earlier

Fuhrious · 2024-10-26T23:25:50-0400

I am watching at work, what happened to Oleksiak?
