GDT: Game #XII | Seattle Kraken vs Pittsburgh Penguins | 11/5/22 7:00 PM EST | The Beast Has Come East

[Randy Butternubs]

f*** this. If Blueger ain't playing I ain't watching.

 

[wgknestrick]

I'm going out on a limb, we'll WIN period 1. Then we lose the game in 2 and 3....

They could also lose period 1 too.

 

[LOGiK]

Just remember to play the 3rd period too ..

That'll cost ya extra.

 

[Gurglesons]

Since we lost to the Kraken they’ve gone on a little run. Feels like they score a short handed goal on our same Powerplay. And then the PK gives up one.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

It'd be nice of them to just fold like a cheap tent early on like the pack of losers they are and do everyone watching on a nice Saturday the favor of letting them go get on with their evening. This whole "oh hey guys we're really gonna do it look at us!" only to faceplant in truly comedic fashion at the last minute is just inconsiderate of people that have things to do.

 

[HandshakeLine]

How about we start small, by say, winning the first 3 shifts and then we'll see if we want to expand?

 

[BusinessGoose]

6 snarky pages before the game even starts

We're firing on all cylinders

 

[Pens x]

If Hextall gets fired who does make a good replacement? I guess we shoulda went for MacFarland but ships sailed now, he's GM of Avs.

Scott Nichol, Matthieu Darche, Mellanby, Carberry, Sean Burke?

 

[Gurglesons]

This should be a come to jesus moment for the coaching staff. It won't be.

Maybe they could.. you know.. remove someone from the Powerplay if they won’t shoot?

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Why no Blue!?
FFS

 

[HandshakeLine]

Then how would we reward vets for being vets?

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Then how would we reward vets for being vets?

It's not like it's his fault but they need to at LEAST start by yanking Rust outta there. He's even less of a powerplay kind of guy than the rest of these dim bulbs.

 

[LOGiK]

How about we start small, by say, winning the first 3 shifts and then we'll see if we want to expand?

To bigger and worse things?

 

[Pens x]

This is from a Hockey News article….

“Finally, let’s take a look at the Pittsburgh Penguins, who have been sucking wind on a six-game losing skid (0-5-1) and are presently one of the NHL’s worst teams. Their offense has turned off and on during this streak, but the more consistent factor has been Pittsburgh’s terrible defense. Trading Marino to New Jersey was necessary for them in dealing with the salary cap and being able to re-sign veteran stars Kris Letang and Evgeni Malkin, but right now, the choice to part ways with Marino was a big mistake.


New Penguin Jeff Petry and returning vet Brian Dumoulin have not thrived in their own end thus far, and Pittsburgh’s goalie tandem of starter Tristan Jarry (who has a SP of .872 or worse in his past three games) and backup Casey DeSmith (who is on a four-game losing streak of his own, with an SP of .889 or worse in two of his past four games) are not getting the job done, either.”

Pixie better go after the hockey news for talking crap on his boy Petry.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

But yeah I mean it WOULD be nice to see someone like Malkin or Crosby get yoinked off both units the rest of the game the minute they tried some lame-ass floater pass to literally nowhere that ends up going the other way. Or refuse to shoot at basically an open net and try some pointless dish through two guys instead. Oh no... they'd get MAD?!? f***in good.

 

[BusinessGoose]

I will say, the Kraken mascot is at least a really dumb concept and looks horrible.

So, Iceburgh has gotten us a bit of a win already

I mean, come on. Go with some real seafaring lore or hell try to incorporate pacific northwest native peoples....

But this stupid troll related to an art installation under a bridge? GTFOH

Buoy is like a classic example of trying to galaxy-brain something that is actually extremely straightforward and easy. Make it a damned sea monster and call it a day you twits. Nobody knows about the Fremont Troll. Shit people barely have a grasp on the whole Kraken thing.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

I was looking forward to seeing Heinen with Sid again, but we need Jake so it's for the best.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Saying your idiotic mascot is a reference to hostile architecture sure is an angle, that's for sure.

"Hey guys, he may look like total shit, but at least *f*** the homeless* amirite?"

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Ahh f*** it. Whoever's in the lineup...just win. Don't care. You had 2 days rest. Just win.

Did they rest, train harder or get drunk?

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Sounds like they kinda stood around saying things like "we gotta shoot more on the powerplay, guys" and playing f***around with wronghanded sticks, mostly.

Coaching excellence you can only dream of.

Coaching excellence you can only dream of.

Mike Sullivan has put himself in a cocoon the last few years and has triumphantly emerged from his chrysalis as some kind of horrific hybrid of Mike Johnston and Dan Bylsma. Isn't nature as beautiful as it is mysterious?
