Thanks Sean, I agree, slowing down the game doesn’t seem like a real strategy. The Kraken do so well with the dump and chase game - how can you slow guys down when the don’t have the puck? It’s not a style I love, but it’s certainly been effective so far.

If McCann does return tonight they probably give Sprong a night off.

Go Kraken!

When I was a Yout we always went to F.X. McRory’s for our pre game. At the time they had > 300 different Whisky’s. There was a ladder in the bar to reach the top shelf.

Gruuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Gruu exceptional but that late goal there hurts. Powerplay to bad penalty to behind Gru 🤮

Not sure why, but they just dont seem to play as well at home. Got to get it back here fast.

They had some nice moments on the forecheck. Keep playing their game and sooner or later they’ll get to Oettinger.

Hope so but down by 2 now.

Well make it down by 3 now. 😖🤬

Make it 4 against. Time to pull Gru here I think.

YES!!!

Got one back finally. Schwartz!!!

That is just a really needed big one right there to stop the bleeding.

Dear hockey gods. What thd hell was that?!?!😳😖🤬🤬🤬

Just ugly at 5-1.

Sit Gru for the 3rd. Get through this oeriod and start getting back in track knowing this is a war and you are heading back to Dallas.

Just play hard, win this period so they feel good going back to Dallas.

Yup. Gonna be a battle

Not the outcome we wanted but happy with the effort in the third. Gru just needs to make a few more saves.

Agreed. We just were sloppy and got right off our game. Need to regroup and refocus. At least we have found a way to consistently put pucks past Ottinger.
