Liked Shore with Wright and Winterton in the colorado game. That fourth line was just solid and dangerous. The changes and oiler game was a disaster. From coaching to goaltending to just boneheaded plays. Dunn said it best they didnt show up and are better than that.
Bellemare back helps too.
I think the boys step up tonight. Really they have just been inconsistent in effort and execution this season. Teams are a bit less surprised and more ready but the team hasnt ramped up either. Same problems were present and lack of intensity.
The good news is the young guys are looking great up and in Coachella. I think RF may start to shift out some of the expiring vets here. |

Big Rig drippin mitts with Mac Dermid
TURBO!!!!!!!! 1-0 Kraken!!!! Great start and goal in his return there.
5:34 Borgen taking a rather weak tripping call. Need a big kill here
Wennberg!!!!!! SHG!!!!! 2-0. Beauty 2 on 1 with Tanev and just fought and stayed with it to bang it in!!!
Challenging for goalie interference. Was contact but 3 shots and two saves before third went in. Should be a good goal there. Then again this is the NHL.
Aaaaand waived off. Was contact but bs on actual interfering. Back to 1-0. |

Huge break up defensive play by Dunn. Avs pressing late in the period. Daccord lookin sharp though.
Damn. Bad late Tanev tripping penalty. Called with 0.03 seconds so kicking off 2nd with the lead but on a big PK.
Major pressure by the Avs but Daccord coming up aces and some serious chances the Kraken just havent scored on. Coming close though.
7:55 and Rantanen jams it home 😖🤬
Colton PPG on a rebound and 2-1 Avs.
Late penalty call on Avs. Coulda called a crosscheck earlier. Just iver a minute to go here. Be nice to tie it up here.
UGLY powerplay. Just working outside till lose it. Need to shoot it! |

No go on rest of the PP. More of the same just not getting a shot.
BIG hustle and great backcheck to get a stick in on what was a two on one for the Avs.
Huge save again by Daccord
3-1. Makar in that close at hashmarks with bodies and yeah thats brutal there.
The called back 2nd goal really gave the Avs some life and they have pressured huge to build the lead. Kraken have had some chances but couldnt bury anything. Frustrating game.
How did that stay out?!?! 😳🤯🤯 Avs almost make it 4-1. And why the hell did our own d man shove Daccords goal stick off into the corner?!?!?! 🤦♂️
There's 4-1. Drouin. Another turnover to a 2 on 1 break in.
10:51 to go and wheels have come off here totally
And Dunn gets called for slashing and gets an unsportsmanlike rippin the ref 🤣🤦♂️
Have to say that isnt a surprise to see happen. Refs have been rather... blind tonight though Kraken have gotten away with some things too but its been bad calls too. And Dunn slashed then call the retaliation one back?!
HUGE save Daccord!!!
Avs called. Aaaaaaand Schultz high stick kills the 4 on 4 🤣🤷♂️. Just wild last 5 min in this one.
4 vs 3 and PPG Avs. 5-1. Nikushkin tip in front.
Game over once Avs got going in the 2nd and Kraken could not bury any of their chances. That called back goal really changed things. Man.... |

Oil next, then Isles, then Nucks. Really need to sort it out and take at least two of the three here.
And we just lose in OT. Evander Kane picked a hell of a time to show up finally.
Kraken just cant seem to |
|
|
|

|

DAccord in net and built a 3-1 lead only to go and not be able to hold it. Just 46 seconds but Oil tie it up 🤬🤬🤬
And we drop it in OT.
Bloody Evander Kane picked a hell of a time to show up. Seriously. One of these days we have to figure out how to beat these guys. Oil are the one damn team we just cant seem to beat.
Erne fined for the elbow hit to Bellemare's head. See how he is. |

Another win and a big 4 point game vs the Nucks. Got it done. The good news is the Kraken finding some scoring and ways to win games. If we can get on a role off the last two it wont be too bad. |

Not a good start. 1:16 in and Flames Lindholm makes it 1-0.
Gru vs Vladar in net.
Pospisil runs over Gru and goes in but ref immediately waives it off.
Yamamoto big slapper off iron.
Grindy type of game, quick pace overall, some big hits already too. Have a feeling Vladar is going to be a huge pain in the backside tonight.
Dunn!! Wennberg won the draw and big blast from the point and through Vladar!! 1-1
And cant get it out. PK fail and Huberdeau gets it through Gru 2-1 Flames  |

Interesting. Daccord in to start 2nd and Gru not on the bench. Now things get interesting.
Gru has returned to the bench at least here now. Not sure what is wrong there.
Kraken go to the net and Eberle bangs home the rebound. Boom. 2-2 all tied up.
3-2 Kraken!!!!! McCann. What a tip
Damn. Late period push and Kartye robbed on a huge point blank chance.
Great 2nd frame, actually looks like Seattle woke up a bit when Daccord came in there. Stronger period. |

Here we go. Final 20. Gru not returning to the net. Its all Joey now. Lets see if the boys can weather things early and get an insurance tally.
Kraken second worst in blown leads and goals given up in the 3rd this season. Only Jackets are worse. One of the more speed, skill, and less grinding lunchpail types we had last season.
And there it is. Under 5 to go and off the PK on gourde's bad tripping penalty. Mangiapane makes it 3-3 😖🤬
And off to OT. 10th blown 3rd period lead this season for the Kraken.
And blow it in OT and lose 4-3. Another 4 point game and we blow the lead and overtime.
Least got a point from it but still.... |

4-0 already up on the Sharks. Should be a gimmie game here and an easy 2 points. Hopefully should be an easy game tonight and a solid win. Fingers crossed.
7-1 final. Not unexpected but nice to have that kind of game. Here is hoping the team can build up further off it. |

Disappointing loss vs the Nucks. On top of it Turbo LBI and didnt return to game so back on the shelf. Decent first, solid second period but man we cannot play a goood third this season at all. No locking it down.

Not the best goaltending from Gru tonight. On the plus side Benny gets another goal and a SHG by Wennberg. Digging a hole 4-2 against Chicago was not good at all. Nice to see Kartye net one and at least the game was close but this was the type of game the Kraken simply need to be winning.
Thursday vs Leafs. Looking forward to seeing it live, but Kraken just need to step their game up huge. |

Game night vs Leafs. Should be a good one. Gonna be taking this one in live |

Man tough one losing in a shootout.
Great battle and team really fought back after a mediocre 1st. Gru was good, but not great. Same issues there. McCann had a great game, team played hard. Studenic dodnt look out of place. Some mean streak and physical play out of Borgen which is nice to see there.
Beniers I just dont know whats up with him. He just isnt the same player as last year. Sophmore jinx it is. 😖😢
Overall not bad but just didnt come out strong, got sloppy too often, and just seem to not be as deep and firing like last season. |

With Schwartz gone six weeks and in IR Kraken have recalled Max Mccormick and returned Poturalski to Coachella. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
And another rough night. Outshoot Ottawa but cant beat their netminder. Daccord gives up 2 and we get shutout coming off what was overall a pretty good game vs the Leafs where they were dominant through 2nd period on. Just cannot seem to find the groove and get on a roll and win this year. At all. |

Well Montreal tonight as the rosdtrip continues. Really need a strong game and a win. Better find some more offence than last game when couldnt even score on Forsberg. Looks like Montembault in net for the Habs. See how this one plays out. Of course Gru gets the start for us. |
|
|
|
|

And Monahan makes it 1-0. Absolutely sloppy in our own zone and gift the Habs the opening goal. Just utterly brutal
And there's 2-0.
And 3-0 giving ip the in the slot shot in the PP.
Man we are sucking royally.
Finally!!!! Kraken got to pushing and cycling and McCann scores. 3-1.
Dunn on yhe PP. 3-3. Kraken back in this and startin to play
Time running out. Goalie pulled.
And theres the ENG. 4-2.
Not showing up at the start and digging ourselves a massive hole once again killed us. |
