Seattle 2, Buffalo 2, after 2. Kraken are dominating the SOG numbers right now, but holy shot is this a frustrating game. I suspect this is how the entire season is going to be for them.

Seattle wins 5-2
Detroit got destroyed by the Bostons 5-1.
Oof. They've fallen below .500, 4-5-2.

Could that be down to their being a relatively new franchise?
Got home from jiu jitsu and caught the end of that Rangers v. Oilers game. My wife got her purple belt by the way. Pretty cool. I got to tie it around her while we were rolling. But holy shit. That Draisaitl/McDavid combo is looking really hot right now. And they have some pieces to support them, and somehow the goal tending is keeping it together this far. Lots of season left, but if they keep playing like this, they have a deep playoff run in them.
So fucking gnarly. The dude is the best player right now by so far. His puck handling is unreal.
Trivia: Pavel Datsyuk was picked 171st overall in '98.
171st. ?
171st. ?
Think they were looking to change, expecting him to dump it or circle back further into his zone. The unpredictability and skill matched by his speed makes for some good hockey watching.
As with the best, you can watch him looking and calculating. He sees what he wants to happen.
That kind of talent makes me sick
This is why they call him McJesus. Nobody lets that shit happen. He’s just on another level.
I shouldn't have said lets, because they would've stopped him if they could.
Nobody is stopping McJesus. I was blown away that the Kraken were able to hold him to only 1 point when they played Edmonton last Monday.
Carolina still undefeated heading down to Florida to play the Panthers today. This afternoon. I don’t hear too many people talking about the Hurricanes right now, which is surprising considering they’re the last undefeated team.
I remember watching that magic. He was something else. However, what we’re seeing with McDavid is on a different level.
I've watched that sequence a few times now.
That shake 'n' bake before delivery was slick.
Kraken give the Coyotes their first W. 5-4. Grubauer is shitting the bed. I’m reading opinions that it’s the Defense’s fault and people shouldn’t be blaming Grubauer. The goals he let up against Buffalo were horrible, and the goals he let up against Arizona were just unacceptable.
I'm not specifically thrilled about our net minders either
