Make Seattle Ryan Winterton’s Forever Home! ♾️🏠
Kraken are third in division by points percentage which is what matters most at this point. Thats playoff position and kind of a justification for how the team is playing. So going to OT is fine if it gets the team where it is now.
So the old saw – is it sustainable? If we’re looking at analytics… Probably not. But at least Lambert seems to be aware of this. Team needs to level up.
If I could ask any Kraken one question right now it would be to ask Brandon Montour how his defense partnership with Ryan Lindgren is going so far.
Meyers penalty was foolish.
My prediction is they will lead the league in OTL. It's a point, but might cause long term angst among. the team." Little kiddy" meow
If you get a chance Erica, I think you should interview Kaapo Thursday night please
