GDT: GAME ONE, MIDDAY EDITION: St. Louis Blues (0-0-0) at YOUR SEATTLE KRAKEN (0-0-0), 1:30pm PDT, 9:30pm Morocco Time

[Bear of Bad News]

Time for a little bit of Mitch in the Midday (there's a dated Seattle reference).

I don't see lineups yet but I also now avoid the site formerly and still known as the Twitter box.

Can’t wait!

I’ve heard some folks talking about the lines on podcasts and on news sites. Sounds like:

McCann-Beniers-Eberle
Schwartz-Stephenson-Burakovsky
Tolvanen-Wright-Bjorkstrand
Kartye-Gourde-Tanev or Gourde-Kartye-Tanev

Dunn-Larsson
Oleksiak-Montour
Evans-Borgen
Mahura

Also @Bear of Bad News are you in Morocco?

Sadly (or perhaps not), no - I'm doing another odd reference to something the anchors used to do on SportsNight.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

I voted for the hometown team AND Other. Other being, just the fact that hockey is back!

I am more pissed that I should be about the game being mid-day. This is not baseball damn it. I actually want to watch the game.

 

[Bear of Bad News]

So fired up right now.

I'll probably get to see a couple of periods before my little grandson comes home from day care. Not ideal, but some hockey is better than no hockey.

Later: Just remembered I'm not in Seattle lol. It starts at 4:30 PM in Toronto. Might have to catch it on replay.

Here's the Davy Jones report:

Kraken vs. Blues PREVIEW: Ringing in the Regular Season

Seattle’s finally opening the season at home for the first time in franchise history, and the Kraken are hell-bent on making sure they don’t repeat last year’s devastatingly slow start. On paper…

I'm definitely happy about my flexible work schedule today. I will be watching.

 

[Bear of Bad News]

Per Tod Lieweke on KJR this morning, the Kraken will have an honest-to-God captain in time for today's game.

 

[Bear of Bad News]

WHO WILL THE CAPTAIN BE?

 

[Bear of Bad News]

I bet it's either Eberle, Larsson, or....Mark Giordano coming from the top rope!

 

[Quackenator]

My guess is Eberle but it doesn’t matter to me. My work day is light and stoked to watch during the day! Hoping Daccord gets the start and that we start the year 1-0. I’ll take a stab and say 2-1 kraken with goals by McCann and Tolvy

1.30 is so dumb. Isn't the league trying to get viewers? Heck even 4.30 would work better

I really doubt it's the league. I'd put BIG money on it being ESPN. Look what they did to college football. They have a lot more power than the leagues.

Seattle Vs. St. Louis or Boston Vs. Florida? I know where my eyes would go.

 

[Cisse]

I must say that at this point of the season I'm still optimistic. Bring it on!

Yeah but its a tuesday. There's no NFL/College football today to compete against and NBA hasn't started yet.

I love you guys already but I had to vote for my despicable St Louis Blues. I have half an hour left to spontaneously drive up there and go to the game but it's not going to happen. (I did vote for Schwartz and Dunn to have a big game against the Blues I love those guys forever.)
