Sold mine once Princesses and Princes were the same thing.

The last 24 months have been especially pitiful. Corp Prez Karey Burke is the perfect example of why Disney has become so screwed up

Yup, more concerned with being politically correct instead of earnings. I think this will change not only at Disney. This country will wake up. I always bet on America. 🙏🏻

Burke's insistance that more than half of Disney's future lead characters must be LGBTQ-etc or minorities is problematic because it goes beyond being politically correct. It is sacrificing marketability for the sake of her personal mission. I also find it odd that she claims all her kids are pansexual, (ages 17, 15 &11). She also has stated, based on her son's comments, that 30-40% of gen z is gay and Disney needs to reflect that....Disney was built for and thrived on being the perfect family experience, yet they've steered away from family interests...sad. (steps off soapbox)

Bravo well said!
And those people she’s catering to ( LGBTQ + )aren’t the majority paying the prices to get in to the parks and stay in the hotels. That’s why they work there let’s not forget they love making money in countries that persecute you if you are gay. Just so hypocritical.
My cousin is a big wig there at Disney Sports and he has said he can’t wait until he can retire as most teachers are saying.
Stepping off the soapbox as well.

If we get one quick here we can make a game of it. That’s a big if

I've seen minor league games with clocks that work.

The Islanders look like minor leaguers so makes sense. Probably wouldn’t have bothered them if the last 5:30 wasn’t played.

True. Other than Sorokin, they only showed up for a few minutes each period.

18 f0cking shots ? Pathetic effort! I mean give the Kraken credit they were on the right side of the puck and played well but the Islanders mad it easy for them in my opinion.
Just didn’t look ready or interested in battling from the drop.

There was one play in the 3rd period that surprised me where Pageau had the puck in the high slot and opted to pass to a guy who was covered and had a worse shooting angle. What is it with this team that they only like to score pretty goals? Shoot the puck and crash for a rebound!

Simple from where we sit. Tonight was just a disaster. Wipe the slate clean and move on. If the next game mirrors this then we sound the alarm.

I have seen better Junior and College broadcasts. Both the product on the ice and in the booth was terrible.

This game would have been real ugly if not for Sorokin...It was a good thing that they went out a day early to prevent Jet lag.

Kraken came out ready to break their 3 game losing streak and the Islanders came out determined to break their 3 game winning streak.
