Game Preview
Last night, the baby Kraken pulled out a spectacular and dramatic come-from-behind victory against the Canucks, with 5 different skaters registering points. It was fun, it was exciting, and it was a great sign of things to come hopefully.
Now, the rubber match. This time Vancouver has film on you. Granted, there isnt a whole lot that Vancouver’s best can do against the might of the Berkly Catton line, as they pretty much shut their best down entirely, but now its not a sudden shock; they can start to plan around it. The Baby Squids need to keep the pressure on like they did for Game 1 and keep the Canucks on their toes; they started getting pretty surly by the end of the third, so there’s reason to believe a fight or two could be in order.
An of course, for everyone watching at home, the big question is “will this game also be a Lynchian nightmare like last time?” Thanks to the bizarre production issues that plagued Game 1’s livestream, such as classic rock playing over a single uninterrupted shot of the Everett Silvertips center ice, with players sort of swirling in and out.
The Prospects game between Seattle and Vancouver's first ten minutes was a single continuous shot of center ice in Everett while classic rock from KRKO plays. Nothing else like it lmao

I dont THINK that KCI has that kind of shot available to them, but you never know what offseason improvements a rink makes until you come back from summer.
LETS GO (baby) KRAKEN, LETS GO (baby) SQUIDS!
