Ohhhh. Bouncer pings the crossbar. Almost a third one past Allen!

And now Drouin gets called interference!! Kraken PP.

Having a real hard time dealing with the bigger heavier Kraken so far. Can’t out hit or outskate them and the offence really is getting stymied.

Apparently not

Such a great opening period. 2-1 lead and really took it to Montreal overall.

Have to watch the penalties though.

Im hoping so. Seattle is skating well with them and they are a heavier bigger team. So far that had negated the usual Habs crash the goalie offence and we have been able to win the board battles and hem them in their own end some.

Just have to keep it up.

3-1!!!

Gourde!!!! Great play and just suckered Allen right there

4-1!!!!!

Tanev breakaway from Gourde and burys his 2nd of the game!!!what a fantastic goal and hammering it home.

Excellent. I hope it ends 10-1

Ah hell. Appleton hurt. Right end of the period too.

Getting a powerplay but with how well its going this is a bad turn there

Excellent. I hope it ends 10-1

Wouldn’t mind. Settle for another solid win here regardless of score.

Bery steady solid 40 minutes. Taking it to Montreal and doing well keeping to their game and limiting great chances.

Hate Apple getting hurt hopefully not too bad.

Still, gotta like the game and score overall. Just need a solid effort for 20 more here

Donato buries it!!!

5-1

Les Toilet seats are being flushed!!!

Tanev saved a late chance for the Habs there.

Very solid game and despite the occasional push, they have not been able to really crack the defence or sustain a lot of offensive zone time in the Kraken end. This has to be the best overall game the Kraken have played so far this season. They look really poised and just making smart plays.

Roady, YOU're a Kraken fan... and i'm already a little too. Good day for hockey.

There it is!!!

FIRST HOME WIN BABY!!!

And a definite outright win over the Habs at that too!

Fantastic game start to finish tonight for the boys!!

Yeah can say I am. After growing up a Leafs fan hey, I needed a change some, and well they are other conference so it is perfectly ok and acceptable!

So hopefully Appleton is not out long term there. Niku came down on the leg looked like it got bent/tweaked.

Think it is interesting too Hayden Fleury got in tonight on the back end bottom pairing. More puck mover and better skater than Soucy, who has the size and physical but is slow of foot. Really helped on transition and in skating and keeping up with the Habs.

Guys were solid for a full 60, cut down on the turnovers and prime chances given, and when there was a chance Gru was stellar in net tonight.

Getting the win at 5-1 was icing on the cake though. 1917 Banner raised up there honouring the team history, and first ever home win for the franchise. Very good night and really think it was the team's best performance of the season as a whole.

Completely agree. See you next game vs. MIN tomorrow.

So Hackstol praised Hayden Fleury and the team’s transition game vs the Habs. Soucy might find himself out again?

No word it seems on Appleton yet. Injured last game but seems like no news might be good news?! Might not be as bad as seemed Niku coming down on the leg and him not returning. Lineup might not change if he is good to go.

Wild should be another good test here. Can the Kraken keep that smart fast transition game and the strong defensive play?!

Love it Seattle creates its own trend. Post game they throw a stuffed salmon into the crowd!! Awesome nod to Pike Place Market.

Doesn’t look like a new game day thread either.

Projected Kraken lines

Forwards:

Jaden Schwartz-Yanni Gourde-Calle Jarnkrok
Joonas Donskoi-Aexander Wennberg-Jordan Eberle
Brandon Tanev-Jared McCann-Morgan Geekie
Ryan Donato-Riley Sheahan-Nathan Bastian

Defense:

Mark Giordano-Jamie Oleksiak
Haydn Fleury-Vince Dunn
Jeremy Lauzon-Adam Larsson

Grubauer starts in net.

Appleton could be out long term. Looks like knee injury. Bastian in tonight for him.

Almost game time. This should be a good one.

So far Kraken d handling the Wild but they just cant get much going in the offensive zone here.

Beauty save by Gru.

Hartman scores. Wild just getting in and just grinding them down.

Stupid play by Donato with the icing and came back to bite them but the momentum is just shifted huge to the Wild


Aaaaaand 2nd goes in but called off as Foligno kicked it in. And now reviewed.

Sayin foot lifted swung forward that looks like a kick to me.

And stands no goal.
