   Hopefully the team comes out stronger than last night because that 1st period was absolutely killer

   Going to Huskies basketball game..wonder if I could go to the Kraken game after. The ol Seattle Saturday special

   Hopefully Yanni’s foot isn’t swollen like a balloon this morning. Missing Matty and Yanni would be scary. Even against CBJ

   GAME DAY BABY!! LFG!! GO KRAKEN!! BETTER HAVE A LOT MORE ENERGY THAN LAST NIGHT’S DEBACLE!!

6. daft_punked 2 years ago

   Hopefully they will lift themselves from last nights abomination. It was a four point game and they looked completely dead in the water.

   ​

   Looking at the lines it seems unlikely with Donato at center with Eberle and Burakovsky. They went 0-9 chances against Flames and Donato was replaced with Geekie. But of course they could be playing most of the game against the 2nd line of the BlueJays in a ‘what is defense’-game in the game.

   Let’s please finish strong before the all star break🙏

8. steppewarhawk 2 years ago

   we have 3 games in hand over the kings, 2 games in hand over the Golden Knights.

   Feeling really good about that, and if we win tonight, that’s only 3 losses for the entire month of January. It’s easy to be discouraged by last night’s performance but we’re in a great position.

   going to the game tonight!! lets see a great bounce back against the poo jackets

    The Beneirs bobblehead looks much nicer in person than the promo pictures they’ve released. You can actually see his hair and the face does look more accurate than it seems from the pictures.
