#FiresHakstol // 1st point for Shane and a post in his 3 games. With poor ice time. He gonna be good next year. First rookie drafted in 2022 to record a point.💎 Congrats boy!
Goal 1: right through jones. He absolutely should have stopped that. Too deep in his crease, didn't challenge the shooter. Goal 2: watch Adam Larsson. Why is the Kraken defenseman outside of the house trying to poke at the puck while a blues player just sits on the free real estate and pokes it in? Goal 3: seattle rattled, puckwatching, caught flat footed and leave Jones out to dry. Goal 4: defenseman behind the net panicks and throws puck right into blues players shin pads, blues pass in front and easy goal to end the game.
Normally when I watch the Kraken I'm dreading the goal tending between Jones and Grubauer, but in all honesty I can only fault Jones for that first one against. From watching everything, Jones stood on his head for the majority of the game. Our goal tending is mid tier with moments of greatness and dogshit. Our defense is atrocious. Everyone on the back end is puck watching, no one's picking up the back door, for as gritty and aggressive as we are on the forecheck I see ZERO attempt to keep our slot clear. Seattle's rattled. Boys need to calm the hell down, focus, and stop puck watching. When our offense is wheeling we're damn good. We have 4 forwards when we're on offense when you have Larsson, Borgen, Dunn, and Oleksiak on the point. Once we have to transition back into defense, defenseman aren't clearing the slot, forwards are not collapsing back towards the crease for loose pucks, and we get ourselves twisted around puck chasing instead of keeping composed.

1st
Still think that 2nd Kraken goal was an obvious GI, and if we challenged that we wouldn't have needed an OT for the win.
Didn't deserve that win but we'll take it
We got very lucky tonight. Must play better to continue the streak.
It takes a alot of talent to be this bad with the roster Seattle has, Hakstol needs to go
Where's Dan Kelly?
Kraken and losing in OT like PB&J
