Game 57 RECAP: Ban day games.

Matinee games f#!king suck.

If you can stand it, here are the Highlights:

Game Notes:

• I don’t think any of us in the mood to learn how long certain defensemen were on the ice as TOI leaders.
• If it’s not the worst, then this one was by far the frustrating game the Kraken have played all year. They’d largely been doing everything right right up until...
• Yeah. The Yanni thing. I don’t even know how the confluence of things necessary to allow that to happen. After that particular boondoggle of a play, the Kraken seemed terrified of making further mistakes, which as per usual, compounded into worse and worse mistakes and here we are at the end of a 4-0 loss to the goddamn Sharks. Just an unacceptably poor effort by a team that put together an excellent performance against the Red Wings not 48 hours ago.
• Defenseman shot to the top of my “get this at the deadline” list because of this game. That was just...everybody should be taking laps. Long, painful laps for this game.
• Martin Jones did not inspire anything resembling confidence tonight and a good portion of this defeat lies at his feet. You’re only as good as your defense sure, but sometimes stuff like details count for something.
• The Kraken should count themselves extremely lucky that the Oilers haven’t caught up yet due to their incompetence at finishing games in regulation.
• I need a drink.
• Still about a week until the deadline. Time to make some moves here, Ronny.
• Keep calm, and Post Zoidberg When We Win.
