GDT: Season Opening GDT: Blues @ Kraken 3:30 PM CST ESPN/ESPN+

[shpongle falls]

Hockey’s finally back lets f****** go!!!!

I thought Rouz had one there.

 

[Blanick]

Some good pressure by the Buch line, need to get that puck to the net. Kyrou need to slide up closer to the Blue line their is some soft ice there.

 

[i aint Dunn yet]

broberg # 6 ?

 

[Blanick]

broberg # 6 ?

Yes

 

[i aint Dunn yet]

Yes

he had a nice hit

 

[Blanick]

Zone exits need to be better. Our guys are leaving the zone flat footed, allowing back Kraken back check to catch them. Got to hit them in stride to get momentum up the ice.

 

[LGB]

Buch line looks good. Texier making some nice plays

 

[Linkens Mastery]

Texier-Buch-Kyrou is pure chaos in the O-Zone

 

[i aint Dunn yet]

lol damn claude on the bench

 

[ChicagoBlues]

LGB!!!!

 

[Dr Robot]

I guess i forgot we had Julianne. I remember him being a real good coach.

 

[i aint Dunn yet]

big save

 

[Blanick]

Blues need to get these pucks in deep and go to work. Trying to many carry in's and they are getting broken up and going back the other way.

 

[MissouriMook]

Slick behind-the-back play by Leddy in the neutral zone to prevent a Kraken breakout.

 

[Stealth JD]

Spending a lot of time defending. Looking disjointed offensively.

 

[Blanick]

Too much east-west. Trying to force passes through bodies.

 

[ChicagoBlues]

Slick behind-the-back play by Leddy in the neutral zone to prevent a Kraken breakout.

Saw that. 'twas nice.

Kessel made a good little play shortly after that in his own corner. He positioned himself to scoop the puck out. Little, but very good.

Holloway providng good support, so far.

Tex a little behind the play.

 

[Stealth JD]

That’s pretty cool Chicken Parm gets to do color for the Seattle opener and the Utah premiere in the same night.

 

[ChicagoBlues]

Tex way out of position. Chasing the play.

 

[Dr Robot]

It looked like we were all down low and overloading one side during that defense. Let a ton of ice open.

 

[Blanick]

I will say this new faster Blues team isn't playing very fast. We did in the first few minutes but we have fallen back on our heels.

 

[AjaxManifesto]

On PTO today. This start time sucks, but I'm able to watch on ESPN+.

The Blues are slow.

 

[Blanick]

Playing very reserved, on our heels. Almost afraid to make a mistake.

 

[Stealth JD]

Puck possession continues to be an issue…expected goals favor the Blues opponent, as usual, thus far.

 

[AjaxManifesto]

The camea behind the net is making me dizzy....jumpy pan/tilt action
