So I figured I'd dive a little further into the Seattle PP as I figured it was the worst PP I've ever seen in the NHL. Third period telecast helped to inform me Jessica Campbell is coach of the Kraken PP. I'm not sure even she, after this game, would want anybody to know that.
Several times the broadcast which is usually charitable to opponents was dunking on how horrid the Kraken PP was. I would say completely lost. They don't have a clue what they're doing. Even on an extended 5 on 3 they couldn't gain zone. She was looking awfully perplexed, and they even had a timeout to straighten it out and nothing. I just automatically expected this must be the worst PP in the league, right? Amazingly 6 NHL clubs have an even worse PP %. But I suspect this is due to trouble finishing for some clubs. In the Krakens case they don't even generate, they weren't even gaining zone or getting shots. This on a night the Oilers probably played one of their worst games of season.
So this is a problem for the justice signalling Kraken now. They go out and do this big song and dance about the Female NHL coach and now due to optics they can't fire her. I'd kind of assume she's not particularly good at her role and I cite the utter confusion on the PP, but they can't get rid of her. Now she's there, and its a potential dilemma. The Kraken really as a franchise seem to have no clue. Could see this club really hitting the rocks hard. They got some off priorities this org. Seems to be no play beyond optics and playing in Climate Pledge arena etc.
Anybody else feel similarly that the Kraken PP is just abysmal? Why is she coaching? Well we know the reason, doesn't appear to be merit.
I'm still left wondering. What a doofus penalty to take though 200ft from own net. Arvid it seems is solely responsibly for taking 5X more shots than he should and finishing hardly anything.
