2026-2027 Kraken season thread

[XpertDBA]

Beaten down by the lowly Flames 6-2. Grubauer allowing 4 goals on just 14 attempts before getting pulled.

Looks like the Kraken are back...

As good of a start as the team is off to, the goaltending is really becoming a problem. Grubauer with a lowly save percentage of .886 and Daccord even worse at .880. They're not playing particularly good defense either but that save percentage is still lousy, they're obviously not making the more challenging saves.

If an average goaltender is at about .910, over 30 shots that's about a one-goal difference which is a lot.

Grubauer I get, because I was waiting for the other shoe to drop with him. He sucks and has always sucked.

Daccord is the one I can't figure out. He used to be pretty good and now he sucks too. Grubauer is rubbing off on him. It's sad, because I really wanted Daccord to be a superstar goalie in this league.

I'll tell you the one guy in the league, that every time I watch him play, I'm just amazed how good he is.

That Naces from the Avalanche is crazy good. I wish he was on our team.

The funniest thing is that Ron Francis drafted Necas for Carolina

That Scorpions song keeps coming into my head.

I wonder if the extra six hours the Kraken had to fly affected them. They should say that's the only reason the Hurlicanes won.

I need to make a correction on that. I don't understand the way hockey stats are compiled. I was going off save attempts as provided on ESPN's website which indicated 30 for Seaatle and 13 for Carolina. But according to a guest analyst on KJR who was talking about the game, the Hurricanes attempted 77 shots while the Kraken only 30.

The sad truth is the Kraken could have gotten there a week in advance and had every luxury afforded them while the Hurricanes swam accross the Atlantic and they still would havd gotten smoked.

ESPN.com didn't have the game available for me to watch yesterday (I usually watch the replay of the game) so I went to Youtube for the game highlights and as I watched I wondered, "Why is the entire game being played only on the Kraken half of the ice?"
