SEATTLE KRAKEN 2 VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS 1 (1-0-2, 4 PTS) – OT

Game 4 Summary
SEA 2, VGK 1 OTL

Well played game by both teams. However, the offensive firepower we have been expecting has yet to be seen. Once again we had to chase the scoreboard.

Much better play by Hill net.

Here’s a point in the form of a question.

Is there any reason why Toothless feels he had to skate through two Kraken to try and take it the house when he is on the ice skating with Marner and Eichel?

Then why the F*Ck does he try to do it. He has a history of trying to skate through multiple defenders with the puck and more often than not is stripped. That strip led to a very long puck possession by the Kraken.

I don’t feel like giving out a Star to anyone. Oh hell, okay….give on to Pavel for another goal. He’s the only guy on offensive fire right now.

4 points out of 6. Giddyup! :)

Anatomy of goal – brought to you by wood laying union members of Canada.
The first goal was another deflection, not much goalie can do. Let’s look at the OT goal.

1- line combos, it’s late in OT , coach sends THREE forwards in game. This is on coaching staff
2- faceoff is in d zone
3- hertyl take face off, one of better face off men on team. He proceeds
to lose the face off. Whoever says face offs are not important, at any point in game, obviously is not student of game.
4- Hertyl then proceeds to NOT block a shot
5- Goalie is busy cross checking Seattle, eventual goal scorer in back, had no business doing this. But risking a penalty at this stage is a no brainer. So it puts
goalie at an uneven position on pending shot, that Hertyl misses to block.

5- shot goes high on goalie, right under mask, a difficult bounce to bring in. Goalie drops to left side trying to get puck.
6- #93 a VGK forward allows his man to get position in front of net, #93 was BEHIND the Kraken forward/center and had no leverage on puck or that players stick
7- O forward puts puck into open right side of net.

With all our Star Power and there’s no doubt we do have all the Star Power there is no way we can only score one goal. 60 minutes and that’s it? The old wait Cassidy will figure it out is bullshit as we lose 2 out of the first three games. This team should’t need a coach to score it’s all instinct and really no excuses. Let’s face it the Kings and Kracken aren’t exactly juggernauts if we can’t beat them Colorado, Dallas, Florida, Tampa Bay, Carolina, Edmonton to name a few will kick our ass because we may be a all show and no go team. Everyone have told them how great they are and it looks like there reading there press clippings.

I tried posting this last night, and for whatever reason it did not show up here this morning even though it was all hockey related.

It is a controversial subject, and that subject is Alex Pietrangelo, in my opinion too many posters have this idealized version of #7 of yesteryear and not the player of the last 2 years.

While I grant and acknowledge the warrior that he was, the eye test of what he had become was getting harder and harder to watch and accept.

The number of shots he attempted had diminished as well as his accuracy as he was prone to widely missing the net in prime scoring position.

His lack of physicality could have been any number of factors, age, over 1000 games played, undisclosed injuries, he took a physical beating with body checks leveled against him with nary a response in return, remember how he was manhandled by tkachuk in the Finals.

I believe that the D corp will be stronger with a younger faster Korczak in the lineup rather than how #7 might have looked had he been able to play this year.

I was dead set against him signing with VGK, but we got a Stanley Cup out of it and very well could’ve/should’ve been 2 if would have beaten the habs( how did we not????? Sigh), but basically have come full circle now with him on LTIR and using that money to sign Marner.

Go Knights Go!
