Series Thread: Second Round - Dallas Stars vs. Seattle Kraken

[Dingus]

Should have pulled Grub after the 4th. He's too rattled.

If nothing else give him some rest and get Jones' blood flowing.

You can't have his head in the wrong place going into game 5. Grub is the only reason they are this deep as it is. We've all seen what it looks like when his head isn't straight and it's not playoff worthy.

 

[WizardHawk]

Is there a worse empty net team in the league than the Kraken? At least left in these playoffs for sure.

They lead in 5 on 5 scoring, but they're just completely worthless when they're a man up.

Going pretty much as I expected it would... and now we go to a best of 3.

I can help here, Jared. This:


This is goaltender interference. Still say the review room needs a goalie in there.

I think it depends on who the goalie is - If it's Carey Price, that's goaltender interference

what was the explanation? did they say he had a chance to re-set?

maybe they didnt buy the reaction/jump by Grubauer ... seemed excessive to me ... the bump that happens after he does re-set is outside the crease

Yeah, I think that covers it - If the contact is outside the crease, unless the player mows down the goalie, it's tough to wipe out the goal. Benn certainly does impede Grubby's glove so I can see why the Kraken are upset, but again it is outside the crease.

if I heard correctly during intermission, even milquetoast Kelly thought that was a good goal lol

 

[Sir Robin Of Camelot]

One reason among many why I subscribe to the Athletic. Great piece on Miro...

But the initial contact happened inside the crease and pushed Grubby out of position. Yes, he tried to sell it but by the words of the rule he was unable to play his position due to contact inside the crease. Shouldn't matter that he moved back, prior to the shot he shouldn't have been pushed out there to begin with.

If they had a goalie in the war room, it would make a big difference. Also, if the ref would have called the contact in the crease and waved it off Mick McGeough style, I would not have objected. The fact that neither of the above currently exists is the main reason why it was ruled a good goal.

 

[WizardHawk]

Either way, a single goal that maybe shouldn't have been turned into two goals with the failed challenge at least partially because grubby was not refocused after not getting that call and instead of pulling him after giving up the 4th, they left him in and he ended up giving up a 5th also because he didn't mentally recover.

One goal ended up turning into 3.

If he doesn't find a way to get back into the focus/groove he was in throughout this playoff so far they will lose the next two.

Grubauer is fine, he didn't even really fall apart. This series is where the first round series was at going back on the road, no reason to think they won't bounce back from that loss and the rest of the series won't be a wild finish either way.

What I'm trying to say is, I don't like your attitude.

This all feels like we are playing with house money anyway. We aren't a long suffering franchise desperately trying to find relevancy like, say the Mariners.

Of course I want to see them go onto the next round. Stranger things have happened. I'm 100% in. I just call it like I see it.

Oh and I love making predictions that our teams make me eat. So there's that.

 

[WizardHawk]

Going to say Stars in 6

 

[naslundfan19]

Already 2-0 Dallas.

 

[Dingus]

They have 4 shots on goal. Very frustrating... And that didn't look offside from here
