Really frustrating loss. Feels like we outplayed them the whole game.
I don’t mind losing so much — with no changes to our standing, it’s just the bullshit way it happened.
#AMAZING SEASON LOVE THIS TEAM ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ
Frustrating loss.
See you nerds in the Stanley Cup Playoffs!
“Post Game Thread” … emphasis on “post”
Imma need the NHL to terminate their deal with ESPN asap
Fuck Vegas. But better to have these shit luck games on the last regular season games than in the playoffs soon.
Fuck this game. Fuck Vegas. Fuck Tyler Meyers.
IT’S PLAYOOOOFFFF TIIIIME BAAAAAABBBEEEEESSSS

Goodnight fellow Kraken!
Kraken played well enough to win, but came up short.
Avalanche or Stars it is! We’ll know based on the Colorado game tomorrow.
If Colorado wins in any fashion we’ll play them.
#VEGAS CAN CHORTLE BUOYโS BLUE BALLS!!!
Shit outcome but I thought we played a really good game. Vegas had all the luck tonight and that was the difference maker. Awesome season and I’m pumped for the playoffs, I think we’re ready!
Iโm starting to hate Vegas
Iโm mad we donโt get to see the fan appreciation post game like last year. Thanks espn
Gotta say, kraken executed so well, but if it wasn’t for an unlucky bounce, this game would be in overtime. Bring that anger into round 1 and steal some games!!
I hate Vegas, but when we are in their zone they are on us like white on rice.
I hope I dream about that Grubauer breakaway stop over and over again tonight. I can’t stop thinking about it, it’s been like 2 hours since it happened and I’m still not over it ๐ what a great moment to highlight to show how far he’s come. I remember back when I cringed every time there was a breakaway because it felt like an automatic goal. That’s not the case anymore. I would trust this man with my personal safety if I were on the ice at this point ๐ take us to the playoffs, Gru. And also everyone else, who I also love, even if I don’t say it as often. Anyone ready for Bjorky’s new dad energy? He’s gotta go on a crazy point streak, right??
Anyway let’s kick ass in round 1, I’m not ready for this to end yet!!
I expect way more energetic efforts next week. These last 2 games were not an indication of what to expect next week
A spectacular regular season. Let’s make more history in these playoffs. All 16 teams start with zero wins. Let the fun begin and get ready for some playoff hockey.
Let’s go Kraken !
Well bad news is that was super emotional loss and Vegas just has our fucking number and itโs frustrating.
Good news is that the only the thing stopping us from going hard in the playoffs is turnovers and the other teams goalie.
Put pucks on net, not everyone can play like he did every game. We didnโt see the boys become one of the best scoring teams in the league by just passing the puck along the wall for 58 minutes of the game.
We also gotta stop passing the puck right to the opponent in our own zone. Clear the puck, make smart passes.
We could see a good playoff showing if we can clean just a few things up and stick to what weโre good at.
Scoring goals 5 on 5 like no one else.
Iโm not happy, but Iโm excited.
Kraken played well! Love the shot differential. Great goal from Schwartzy. Just a couple of bad bounces. Bring on playoffs ๐ช๐ป
It’s okay I’m sure they’ll have no problem solving Ottenger after Vegas’ fifth goalie stood on his head for sixty minutes.

I would have preferred the Kraken to win this game.
