***Seattle Kraken vs. LA Kings GDT 3/26/22 7:30pm on BSW***

[Bill Hicks]

Very tough 6 games there. Gotta beat SEA Mon. then I’m happy enough if they split the EDM games and beat WPG
to go 2-4. Can’t expect wins against CAL or MNN.

After that win 5 of the last 9 (8 of which are winnable) and they’re at 97 points and how sweet would that be?

I feel they have to sweep EDM keep 2nd place.

Could it be a shoulder?

Wrist ... I mean ...UPPER BODY INJURY

yes, that is my sense as well. wrist. or wrist plus elbow.

by the way, I thought the Kraken played very well overall last night - at least a million times better than their game against the Hurricanes a few weeks ago where they looked like people who had never skated together before playing a pickup game. Can't take them lightly tomorrow!!

Vilardi has the best hands on the team by a pretty significant margin. Would love to see him with Kopitar and Kempe at some point.

He could easily swap spots with Iafallo. Byfield is making some small strides but he's not doing Vilardi any favors either. Iafallo would be a good fit on that third line and maybe open things up a little more for QB.

Anybody see his presser after the game last night? He was in good spirits, but definitely did seem like he was someone still healing from some internal drama. And the reporters were kind of picking at the scab a little.

I thought so too. I watched the replay already knowing the score and it was a tighter battle than the stats suggested. Their forecheck was relentless, and they fought all the way to that last 4 second goal.

Oh thank you - I added a non-existent game in there. Will be that much tougher of a stretch coming up.

Agreed they’ll likely have to beat EDM twice to get 2nd but I’m not super worried about that, just want that divisional berth.

I haven't been impressed with just about everyone you mentioned. Hopefully they all can pick it up next year or in the supposed playoffs.
