Sean Maloughney: Kraken Hope to End October On A Positive Note

What a big win!!! Huge first and at least able to pull it out in OT. Big game there and a very much needed win. Hopefully team can go ahead and build off that even more.

Coachella wrapped up October in style with a 5-4 comeback OT win vs the Cudas in the second meeting between the clubs, and then thumped Abbotsford nicely 8-3 in the gorgeous Dia De Los Muertos jerseys.

Shane Wright in 6Gms with 4G and 2A leading in goals.

Studenic with 3G 4A has looked great out of the gate this season

Winterton has notched 3G 2A and Melanson in 5GM has a goal and 16PIM being a pest

Big one is Driedger in net. 5GM 3-2 record with a 1.82GAA and .936 SV%. He has been lights out early down there.

2-1 lead and Gru coming up big as the Preds push. Bjorkstrand and McCann (3gm tear) got our goals.

Kraken getting some big chances but Saros holding Preds in this.

Bad penalty for holding by Borgen. Need a big kill here now.

And 2-2 with both Preds goals on the PP. Josi with just a blast.

DUmO!!!!!! 3-2!!!! Beauty past a screened Saros!! What a quick answer back!!!

Gru down a moment. Getting called for tripping. Damn. Staying in net but not sure its a great call there either.

Gru!!! Big save on the Preds PP. Big Rig huge block. Bigtime kill and escape the 2nd with the lead!!!

Here we go. 3-0-0 when we score 3+ goals so..... really need to get a couple by Saros here.

Trading chances early. Gru coming up big. Def his best game of the season so far.

All over the Preds just cant connect and beat Saros 😖😖😖

DUNn!!!!! 4-2 Kraken!!!!! Off the faceoff in the net!!!

Preds hooking penalty! Kraken PP!!

8:04 to go. Kraken really controlling play. Been a really solid game here.

4:55 to go.

Penalty preds tripping Bjorkstrand. Smith tries going after him, lucky it wasnt an extra call 🤣. Another Kraken PP.

God Yamamoto suuuuuucks. Why is Hak so enamoured with him?! Floating, handling the puck like a live grenade, coughing it up bigtime.

Final 2 min. Saros goes. Final push.

Hru makin late big saves against the extra attacker!!!

4th win of the season on home ice!! Big team game and a very needed 2 points collected!!

Starting to really get things turned around some now!! Great start to November!!

That's Kraken Hockey Baby!!!

2-1 after the 1st and kiss Mangiapane goodbye for that garbage check to McCann's head. Talk about stupid there.

Don't like giving up the shorty but a pair of PPG is great. Bjorkstrand and Tolvy starting to get hot.

Damn. 5 on 3 and Calgary just gets going and all tied up.

Brutal goal. Harmless and tip bounces that wickedly. 3-2 Flames. 😳😳😳🤯😖

What the hell..... absolutely ugly goal gives Calgary nreathing room. Kraken just didnt come out here for the 3rd at all. Completely out of their game and maybe a bit tired but man. Just lousy. 🤦‍♂️😖😢

Schwartz one back late least making it interesting and close

And ENG for Flames. Abysmal 3rd period for Kraken

Good comeback for them really. They didnt quit and just outworked the Kraken. Bad 3rd tired or not. That 4th goal 😖😤. Flames definitely needed the win too

At least Coachella won its 4th in a row 2-1 over Bakersfield

Another solid game for Driedger

Fortunately McCann is fine. Mangiapane gets 1 game?! Figured 2-4 but okay then nhl.

Up against Arizona and Tolvanen opens the scoring. Nice to see him start to get going there.

1-1 but not too bad.

Schultz answers to toe it after we gave up the PPG. Least right in it.

Schwartz with the lead. And handed right back exchanging powerplay goals.

Well least a point out of it rwgardless of ot/shootout

Shootout it is. And Bjorkstrand, Benny, and Eberle nope it. Well least a point.

Eberle injured in practice by a deep skate cut to the leg. Having an MRI.

Kraken have recalled Shane Wright from Coachella, along with Ryan Winterton.

Colorado tonight.

So far so good. Wright's line has been great.


Schwartz!!!!! 1:21 left and Wrights line hemmed em in. Kartye off the boards and Wenny in front a moving screen and Schwartz a bullet.

1-0 Kraken!!!

And almost 2-0. Soooooo close. Icing by Avs. Kraken pouring it on to end the period

Shore - Wright - Winteron 4th line was excellent for the 1st period.

Great opening to the 2nd. Solid shift for the Gourde line.

Bjorkstrand!!!!!! 2-0 Kraken!!!!

Avs went 11 min back to 1st period without a shot.

Kraken blocking shots. Playing physical. Really doing well.



Aaaaaaaaaand then we turn it over carelessly for a 2 on 1 and Byram makes it 2-1 Avs answer right back. 🤬🤬🤬

Wright with a couple chances. Big fourth line press and o zone time and Weight draws a penalty going to the net. Kraken PP!

Not a great PO but Dunn holy hell. Kept it in like 4-5 times. Unreal. Couple chances. Wright out in PP unit 2 now.

Gourde just pops MacKinnon!!😍😍😍😍

And Yamamoto hammers Makar!!😍😍😍

And now Colorado too many men penalty! 🤣🤣😍

Benny!!!! Death to the monkey. There's number 1!!! 3-1 Kraken with a PPG!!

Damn. Oleksiak tries to avoid Lekhonnen but shoves him and he goes in head first. Damn that was bad. He seems ok but that was ugly.

And Kraken get called. Larsson for crosschecking. Make up call much there refs?! 🤬

Big PK. McCann and Goyrde sh chances. Then Benny. Great kill. No shots against and 3 sh shots.

4:20 left 3 on 2 and Gru big stop but cant get it out and MacKinnon left all alone in slot. 3-2 Avs get one back. Bad play there in our own end on a press. Avs got life now.

Borgen bad holding penalty 2:16 left.

McCann sooooo close SH chance!! Damn.

GRUuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!! Robs Makar!!!

Man missing Bellemare faceoffs pking in our own end here. Least he is day to day.

3-2. Got the lead. Dominating most of the play. Going to be a hell of a 3rd. Avs going to come hard so need to be sharp here and Gru needs to be good.

Colorado really pushing. Man Kraken getting hemmed in some.

7:45 and Nickushkin ties it. Gru screened and Nik tipped it. Benny with a brutal clear and wrror ends up back of the net.

3-3 and now it gets interesting.

Dunn hammers Cogliani and Byram then tries to jump Dunn who beats him down too!! Byram should be getting an instigating. Kraken PP!!!! Surprised wasnt 2+5 and 5 for Dunn. Went double for roughing and 2 for Dunn.

Major chances but Schwartz a retaliatory slash to a Cogliano crosscheck no call. Bad penalty to take there

Gru!!!! And great d work by big rig.

2:32 left. Kraken getting chances, starting to push back after the Avs rather dominated things for most of the 3rd.

1:20 and Dunn blocks a big Raantanen blast. Got to the bench. Big block but hope he aint dead there. Looks like off side of the boot/ankle.

Scoooooooore!!!! 31.6 seconds and Bjorkstrand buries it!!!!!!!!

What a goal!!! Thats Kraken Hockey baby!!!

Dunner with that massive block sacrificing big. Hes hurtin but feels better with that goal off it.

Tolvanen a HUGE block then Schwartz as well in a final Avs push. What a huge team effort!!! Well earned and big win!!!

Game on!!! Skinner vs Gru for starters as we take on the struggling Oilers.

BIG chance after some sweet passing and first shot Skinner came up big. Kraken getting some decent pressure out of the gate

Ansolutely UGLY bad point battle. Broken 2 on 1 and bobbled puck Hyman able to get up and past Gru. That was just all sorts of 🤮

Oil amping it up. Gru scrambling. And Borgen gets aggressive and takes a penalty 😖🤦‍♂️

Schwartz interference penalty. Need another big kill here

Nope. Hyman PPG banging it in on the doorstep. Oleksiak had him then drifts away leaving him alone too 🤬😖

Kraken PP! Need one here to get back in it

1 lousy shot. Nothing goin. Just not getting on Skinner enough here at all.

Oh come on!! 🤬🤬🤬 some interverence on Kane there but jeeeeez. Hyman with a hatty 😳🤯

Absolutely BAD period here for Kraken. And getting worse.

4-0

Well everytjing that could go wrong did. Down and out and boo'd off the ice like they deserve. Seattle sleepwalking there. Little effort or pushback and Gru not having a good game either. Game over man game over.

Daccord coming in helped. Didnt get worse. One back on the Pzp but that lousy 1st just killed us tonight.
