  1. Neutral zone play and forecheck has got to be better on sunday.

    I believe.

    As much as id love to clinch it now – it will be sweet to do it right to their home crowds faces.

  2. Boys didn’t have it tonight … Really hoping we pull through and win game 7 … Regroup boys it’s do or die time now

  3. Gru is absolutely carrying us and the team needs to support him. Unfortunate loss but we’re going to game seven and we’re coming to win!

  4. If I had to rate that game on a scale of one to ass, I’d have to say, it was very ass.

  5. I MAY BE SAD WE LOST BUT I STILL BELIEVE IN THE BOYS. WIN IT IN COLORADO, THE BEST ROAD TEAM IN THE NHL. LETS FUCKIN GO. SEE YALL SUNDAY

  6. Tough loss at home. Knew the Avs weren’t gonna go out without a fight, and that they did. Bring it to them on their home ice Sunday. Send them packing in front of their crowd! Let’s go Kraken!

  7. Well, that wasnt ideal.

    Respect due when its earned. We just didnt have the juice tonight.

    Love this team. Love this community. Game 7 is fucking ours

    # WE BELIEVE

  8. ##The Good:

    – Grubauer

    ## The Bad:

    – Literally everything else

    #Welcome to do or die hockey, time to step up or shut up. Let’s fucking come back and show the league we aren’t here for fun but here to fucking win!

  9. Shake it off and kick their ass in Game 7 in front of their home crowd sounds ok to me

  10. Game 7 is on my bday and I’m pretty sure I’m about to receive a dunn jersey. Good things are coming!!

  11. Hope you don’t mind a Wild fan hopping on board. Stats are showing that road teams are coming out on top, so this is favorable for game 7.

  12. Mama Grubauer deserved to see her son win in person.

    Hope the boys get some rest, eat a snickers and get back to their better form on Sunday.

    Also Avs fans are some of the most toxic people, jesus christ

  13. We have 2 teams. One is nimble in the neutral zone (and stretches the zone with crisp passes), hungry for the puck on rebounds and efficient on winning battles on the board to get the puck to space.

    The other team sits 4 guys on the blue line and passes back to the last D man to do a dump puck zone entry. They wait for the puck to come to them. They pass and pass and pass without shooting.

    For whatever reason team 2 showed up in Game 3 and Game 6. But it’s been happening all year.

    Really annoying that team showed up tonight again.

  14. honestly feel like that was the most disappointing games I’ve been to just knowing what this team is capable of vs what that was

    and I went to some stinkers last year lol

    well we’ve been a road team all year so our season coming down to a road game vs the champs is probably what we should have counted on

    lets get another win and keep it going!!

  15. These fools! They fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous of which is, ‘never get involved in a land war in Asia,’ but only slightly less well-known is this: ‘Never go up against the Kraken on the road when the series is on the line!’”

  16. Posting this again

    On the bright side everyone, every time we’ve played like this we’ve turned around and made it everyone elses problem the next game. This team is VERY good at re evaluating and making adjustments after rough losses. McCann and Burky’s absence are noticeable but we can definitely overcome this on sunday. Worst case scenario we took the defending champs to 7 and made them fucking hate us in the process. This. Is. Not. Over.
