Sean Maloughney: Game 23: Kraken @ Red Wings: Can't Catch A Break

Let" go RED WINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Get us some dinner! Fried Kracken! Yum!

Huge blow with the four going down today. Borgen, Schwartz, Eberle all out and Hakstol said no status so dont know how long out. Jarnkrok and Driedger on IR. And Gio in covid protocol.

Be interesting with Lind. Big chance for him to step in and show something here really.

Gru hopefully will be on as he was before Driedger took the last two. At least he got a bit of rest too.

Much like the game with Buffalo you cannot underestimate Detroit. Kraken got a bit sloppy playing run and gun with Buffalo. We cant do that again. The depth is going to be very tested here which may not be a bad thing. Aee who might rise to the occasion here and give Francis a look at some guys going forward before the trade deadline.

Guessing at lines thinking something like this?

Johansson - Gourde - McCann
Tanev - Wennberg - Donskoi
Donato - Geekie - Blackwell
Lind - Sheahan - Appleton

Vince Dunn – Adam Larsson
Jamie Oleksiak – Carson Soucy
Haydn Fleury – Jeremy Lauzon

Gru
D’Accord

Game on!!

Here we go!!

Wow. Total line blender tonight.

Donato - Gourde - Donskoi
Johansson - Wennberg - Appleton
Tanev - Geekie - McCann
Blackwell - Sheahan - Lind

It’s a rather interesting look there. So far not bad

Its blenderful tonight. Hakstol been moving a few around here as well

Decent 1st but thankful that Detroit goal was called back offside. That was a weak stinker on Gru.

Kraken one was a farce of a goalie interference call too. 🤮🤬

Brutal goal to give up. Still in this but damn nothing really clicking out there at all. Gru seems a bit off too. Not quite as sharp as before.

DUNN!!!!!!

PPG and that one is countin baby! All tied up!

Donato!!! Boom. There it is. Beautiful feed and wide open in front of the net.

(I HATE that idiotic catchphrase with the Kraken announcer. No thought it was #%%*^! Curling ya tool.)

Oh what a lousy goal and just weak off the glove by Gru there too


Brutal 2-2

Another bad bounce bad goal going in and just ugly to be down 3-2 now

DONATO!!!!! 2nd of the game 5th of the year and YES we tie it up 3-3!!!

And on the attack and Donato was lookin for the hatty too. Kraken seem to have gotten some good energy off that goal now.

Nada on OT and now to the first ever shootout in Kraken history. Oh boy... here we go...

Fabrri misses, Gru stayed right with him.

Donato... hot hand in first....And Greiss stones him

Larkin now for Wings.. and scores.

McCann now....... nope. Greiss all over that

Raymond hits the post!!!!

Donskoi now... all on him.... SCORES!!!!! Snuck it 5 hole!!!! We play on!

Erne now for Wings.... and he just sniped that right in

Wennberg now.... and rifle it off the glass and Detroit wins the shootout

Well 2-1-1 and really Detroit can play and with all the guys out tonight that was not as bad as expected so while dissapointing can't knock it too bad. 4 game road trip 5 out of 8 points and team getting it done at least lately.
