Great W on the road vs the champs
WE BEAT THE AVS? LET’S GOOO
So many players showed up tonight LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Alison says: Statement win. I agree.
**LETS GO KRAKEN**
Like I said before. Settle down.
Fuckin A what a game! Hope Gru is good.
I’m really enjoying beating Denver teams this year.

**THAT’S KRAKEN HOCKEY BABY** 🦑🦑🦑
What an awesome team win! All around great performance, hopefully they build on this on Sunday!
Does this make the Kraken the Stanley Cup champions? I mean they did just beat the defending champs.
Can someone explain/post the clip of grubi getting hurt? Game was blocked out for me 😩
That was a playoff performance. Congratulations kraken.
Amazing job by everyone to maintain pressure after Gru went out. They made it very easy for Jones.
Fuck the Avalanche!!!
That was an awesome and complete win!
Gimme more of them “Beat amazing teams” kinda wins! Pretty great effort tonight ! 🦑
Temper expectations.
We want cup!
That was a really fun game to watch. I was hoping tanev would clobber mccinnon
Just won a tough road game with everyone on point!!!! Love this stretch of games coming up to get a nice winning record!!!
WOOOO
good vibes up for gru
That’s my goalie Gruuuuuuu!!! Great defense also. I hope the injury isn’t too serious. Definitely looked like a groin pull
LETS GOOOOOOOO
Our power plays looked legit this game (excluding the short hand goal…)
Proud of the boys. What a win.
Hope Gru is OK. Looked like a groin tweak.
Complete game from the whole team minus the short handed goal. Hopefully Gru is ok. Went toe to toe with the champs in their own house and came out with the dub!!!
That might have been the greatest Kraken game in history.
Seriously.
Holy fuck, that felt so good.
can we, you know…play like this at home?
Where’s the happy splashing noises guy?
Absolutely magnificent performance from the boys tonight.
Hope Gru is ok!
6 games…. 6 points…. I like this
Regulation win against the defending stanley cup champions? No problemo~
#YES WE MCCANN
Squid squad rise up
What a complete team win by the kraken tonight. So many players had great games tonight.
* Grubauer with his best performance of the season, just hope he’s ok
* Wennberg making plays all over the ice and even shooting the puck
* Good PK effort to keep the game close
* Defensive zone coverage on the Avs’ stars was consistent all games. Many times an Av would get a puck and immediately 1 or 2 kraken sticks were getting in to break up possession
* Dunn with a major bounce back after a terrible game on Wednesday
* Beniers good again and had several solid plays
* Shane Wright career high ice time with 8:42 and looked pretty good again
* Bjorkstrand-Wennberg-Burakovsy line was dominant at times and seems to be settling in as the top line with Schwartz-Beneirs-Eberle as #2
* Edit- somehow I forgot Borgen, dude had another huge game tonight. He’s a horse on the back end despite limited minutes.
**SEA**
**US**
**BEAT THE DEFENDING STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS FOR SOME REASON**
Things to love:
1. They beat the Avs!
2. They played a mostly complete 60 minutes and came away from it with 2 points.
3. When the game became tied at 2 they started playing with much more physicality.
4. Jones looked great in relief.
Things not to love:
1. Grubauer got injured :/
2. The second period effort from the team was middling.
3. Our transitional game is still kind of weak and needs some dedicated time in practice.
4. Beniers and Wright were kept off the board.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
So we’re a road team, got it.
Nice win echos of Florida dominance last year and a far cry from that 7 to to whatever drubbing last year
Wright needs to clean up some of those passes but I’m glad he got more ice time tonight. I like him between Tanev and Donato.
I dont see why we ever have to lose again!!
