Recap of Kraken vs Stars Game Five



This was a good defensive game. I thought both teams did a good job along the boards. In the end, Dallas just had the better chances.

  1. Welp its official every game I miss the Stars win, ever game I get to see the Stars lose. So, I guess Saturday afternoon I'll me watching a movie rather than the game and catch the recap later.

  2. I don't think Grubauer played terrible tonight. Unfortunately, the requirement is "other worldly" to give us a shot. The second goal was a bad one – I think Dallas has decided going high is the best choice – but the others were point blank, which is on the defense. I'm not surprised at the Moneypuck stat; I was watching the shot total climb and climb, and all I could think was "Yea, but they're all crap!". Dallas has made the defensive adjustments, and the Kraken have picked a bad time to regress to the mean.

  3. Nice win, Stars. It wasn't pretty but more importantly…. a WIN. Close this thing out in Game 6 and advance to the next round.

  4. Not a stars fan buuuuut, GET PAVELSKI A CUP PLEASE!!!!!! Not a sharks fan either, but I’ve always loved the guy. What a career, just get the man his ring please!

  5. The fact that such a jersey exists is so funny. Dallas should honestly wear the Mooterus if it goes to Game 7, or they should wear it for some of the Conference Final if they win Game 6 and finish the series.

  6. Yeah I guess Otter let in a couple goals but he still looked much better than he has been, there were some crucial saves he made to bail the Stars out at times. Maybe not a crazy performance, but solid enough.

  7. I have to disagree Shannon. Thought Otter had a great game. The 1st goal against was a perfect shot and the second was screened heavily on but he had some really nice glove saves and he shut it down in the 3rd when it counted. Sometimes you got to put down the analytics and use those eyeballs. Other than that great breakdown.

  8. I think the main difference in this series is Otter has gotten steadily better while Grubauer has continued to get worse as the series continues. Seattle just couldn’t crack him tonight.

  9. Stars have been solid since getting waxed in game 3. I still feel theres another level they can get to but still haven't. Robertson is playing better, no goals yet at least he got 3 assists tonight.

    That 4th goal was so weird. I was pretty tense before that, fist pumped when it went in, shocked it got waved off, then confused when the horn started going off.

    Cmon put it away Saturday.

  10. Left the game tonight and couldn't wait to see your thoughts! Atmosphere at the AAC was incredible 🙂

  11. I think this is the weakness of Seattle – great team game but can be outplayed at the high end. I expect them to tighten up in 6 and push this one to 7 but D definitely has the momentum

  12. Wow, what a season, but I'm hoping we're not done after game 6. Either way, I'm proud of the Kraken.

  13. Grubauer is back to being Grubauer. His positioning was slipping tonight. if they get two earlyagain next game, pull him.

  14. If Seattle’s run ends on Saturday, I’ll at least be able to say I’ll be at the stadium to witness it. This has been an extremely fun three weeks, and I think the hope I had for the city to fall in love with hockey has been warranted, everyone here has been hyped for it.

    I think the part that stings is that this is the first game this series where Seattle had clear effort and it wasn’t enough – sure they had some mistakes but generally this is just the proof necessary that Dallas is the better team. Against Colorado and in the first four games against Dallas it felt like any game that Seattle played well in they won, but they had inconsistent energy from game to game. This game Seattle was trying hard in the first two periods and even pulled within one, but then Dallas made adjustments and that was it. I think they advance, and to be honest I give them a legit shot against either Vegas or Edmonton.

  15. so many blown tires on the ice tonight, mom said it has been pretty humid in dallas the last couple days. just found that interesting in case there’s a game 7

  16. The fact you were able to do these kind of breakdowns during the regular season absolutely blows my mind 😂
    You are a workhorse my man
