Should be interesting thursday. Calgary whalloped them 10-0. They likely wont ice the same group but have to think that defeat lights a fire under them too. Going to be interesting.

And welcome. Thanks for the support over past few blogs. Sean should be back here now so just want to say thanks for the opportunity to him and its been fun. Looking forward to whats to come!!

Pelletier out indefinitely after that hard check.

Could be a rivalry forming there…

Yeah it was a bad and unfortunate hit. It is one he shouldnt have made. Not vicious as he didnt come in full bore and drill him in, more of a crosscheck push, but end result is a bad injury. Considering it sparked 9 penalties and the game went real chippy Id say there should be some serious intensity to future matchups.

Dave Tippett added to coaching staff as a consultant. That’s a lot of NHL head coaching experience within the org.

I think they had a few PTO players that were released from the Kraken and sent to Coachella camp - so if they make it it would likely be on an AHL only contract.

And away we go. Gru gettin the start in net.

Early PP chance too

There we go! Melanson from Wright and Shore!!! 1-0 Kraken end of 1st. Outshot them 12-6 despite a late period PP chance. Gru with a quiet but solid period in net.

2nd underway. Gru still in net taking another period.

Demko keeping the Nucks in it and Garland nets one. 1-1 tied up

JT Miller takes a late period hooking penalty. Big chance for the Kraken PP unit.

PP goin 0/2. Still outshooting them almost 2-1 but tied through 40

3rd under way. Here we go. Demko and Gru both goin full game tonight. Man do our guys really need to learn how to take faceoffs.

3rd PP for the Kraken now. Boom!! PPG its 2-1 Kraken!!! The gift that keeps on giving Eli Tolvanen.

Just over 4 min left Kraken get the insurance marker. Tolvanen from Bjorkstrand and Gourde for his 2nd of the night.

Tried watching an online stream but it was too glitchy to watch. Nice result.

Nice. Couldnt get the radio feed so just watched the game center refresh myself

Solid game by Gru but man we SUCK at faceoffs. Bellemare is a beast but Wennberg and Gourde could barely win draws. For a team that was 2nd last in FOW% last year man we havent improved much there. Worried it could bite us in the arse

I’ve read that Bellmare is working with the guys after practice, but they could hire a guy like Manny Molhotra as an assistant coach or an advisor or player development or whatever. No salary cap on staff…

Or just have RF get his skates on and attend some practices. Bellemare is a beast though. Two games and he is 21/27. Shore 11/27. Kartye 2/5. Petman was 6/8. Wright 8/27 😖. Beniers 12/18. Gourde 2/11 and Wennberg 4/13 is bad though 😳🤯.

We only beat Buffalo last year and had a team FOW% of 45.8. And Geekie is gone out of our top 5.

Im kind of hoping maybe we could upgrade at C with a trade here and move out Wennberg but dont think it will happen before trade deadline.
