GDT: Kraken at Blues 6:00 FanDuel

[sdaltons]

I am glad this game is in St. Louis and not out here, because then I would have to go watch them play the way they're playing right now. We all know they'll be killing it March Forth when they do visit, as they move out of the top 10 picks ...

They might have a chance to win if it were in Seattle though. Blues are even worse at home for some reason.

Buch should be watching this game

He will be, he’ll just have a better seat.

Now that’s funny……but depressing as well!

[Harry York 37]

Schenn on the top line is the message.
He will be there to show the floater queen and his weak buddy how to play 60 minutes of NHL Hockey.

Watch Hofer go on a run here after that shutout in Buffalo. He was locked in.

Kraken haven't exactly been an offensive juggernaut this season either. They have lowest goals for in the entire NHL.

I sure hope Buffalo is the start of a really good run for Hofer. He was argueably the best player on the ice from Joseph.

The scratching of Kyrou (that I had no problem with) rings hollow if they continue to not address Buch. He has to pick it up and pick it up now. Otherwise, if you don't scratch him after scratching Kyrou the message is at a minimum completely lost and actually has a real chance to completely blowup and create bigger issues.

difference is, Buch always plays a 2 way game, and is good on the PK. his problem is scoring, or lack thereof, not effort

[hotrivets]

Kraken projected lineup

Jaden Schwartz-Matty Beniers-Kaapo Kakko
Berkly Catton-Chandler Stephenson-Jordan Eberle
Mason Marchment-Shane Wright-Ryan Winterton
Tye Kartye-Ben Meyers-Eeli Tolvanen

Vince Dunn-Adam Larsson
Ryan Lindgren-Brandon Montour
Josh Mahura-Jamie Oleksiak

Philipp Grubauer will start in goal; Matt Murray will be the backup.

Healthy scratches include Cale Fleury and Jani Nyman. Joey Daccord (upper body), Ryker Evans (upper body), Frederick Gaudreau (upper body) and Jared McCann (lower body) are out.

Good on the pk? Sure seems like they give up a pp goal every game.

I have no drive to bag on 89 but the simple reality is he is as much of a problem as anybody else is. He isn't the only problem but he is near the top of the list.

2 goals on the season and as has been pointed out ad nauseum, neither are at even strength and a main contributor to one of the worst pk units in the league....it's not exactly a hot take to say he is a problem currently.

[TruBlueFan_1970]

I don't see a need to overthink this. Team is struggling because the VETERAN forwards simply aren't getting it done. So, take away ALL the excuses, stack them all in the top-6. It's now CLEARLY on them.

Agree 100%. Play the top 6 and when a guy struggles, pull him out and plug in someone else.

Holloway-Schenn-Kyrou
Buch-Thomas-Snuggy

When Buch sh*ts his pants, put Suter up there on the wing.

and frustrating.
especially for those who pay big bucks to get in the door.

[Harri McBain]

to still be juggling lines this far into the season is... concerning

He is searching the best line combos where butch and kyrou hurt the team the least…

[82birds]

LET'S GO BLUES !

[Russdv14]

I think the important thing is that Hofer makes the first five saves in the game

I think Buch has been put down to the third line which is good

Come on kyyou score a Hattrick

OK, one shot down
